What was the occupation of Agus Salimʼs father?

Read the text and answer the question below!

Haji Agus Salim (8 October 1884–4 November 1954) was born Mashudul Haq Salim in the village of Koto Gadang, a suburb of Fort de Kock, was an Indonesian national hero. He conducted diplomacy to various countries, so that Indonesia’s independence would be fully recognized. His father, Sutan Mohammad Salim, was a colonial prosecutor and a judge whose highest rank was chief judge for the indigenous court in Tanjung Pinang. His birth name, which means “defender of truth”, was changed into Agus Salim early in his childhood.

 

Salim received his elementary education at Europeesche Lagere School (ELS). At that time, it was considered a privilege for a non-European kid to attend an all-European school. He continued his studies at the Hogere Burgerschool (HBS) in Batavia and graduated with highest score in the whole Dutch East Indies.

 

CS Hurgronje, a prominent colonial administrator, took Salim to leave the Indies on 1905 and work as an interpreter and secretary at the Dutch consulate in Jeddah. That journey was also intended to keep him from the radical teachings of a close relative, Shafi’i imam of Masjid al-Haram, Ahmad Khatib al-Minangkabawi.

 

Salim returned to the Indies in 1911 and pursued a career in journalism, contributing pieces for magazines and publications like Hindia Baroe, Fadjar Asia, and Moestika. He later served as an editor in Neratja, a newspaper aligned with the Sarekat Islam. While in that, he founded a private Hollandsche Indische School (HIS) in his hometown of Koto Gadang.
