The First Djumhana Cabinet (Indonesian : Kabinet Djumhana I) was the second cabinet established by the State of Pasundan. It was composed of nine ministers and one official. Its term of office ran from 10 to 31 January 1949.
After the resignation of the Adil Cabinet on 19 December 1948, the prime minister of Netherlands, Willem Drees, held a visitation to Indonesia. The visitation was meant to discuss the formation of a federal interim government of Indonesia. The plan was to hold a conference in Jakarta in January 1949, on which the newly formed cabinet, led by Adil Puradiredja, would attend. The plan failed, as the Dutch failed to pressure the Parliament of Pasundan to reelect Adil. [1]
In response to the failure of the plan, the commander of the Dutch forces in Indonesia Simon Spoor, and the High Commissioner of the Crown in the State of Pasundan R.W. van Diffelen went to Wiranatakusumah, the Wali Negara (head of state) of Pasundan. They pressured Wiranatakusumah to immediately appoint a new cabinet formateur so that a new government is formed quickly. [2]
Finally, on 28 December 1948, Wiranatakusumah appointed Djumhana Wiriaatmadja, a non-party member of the parliament, as the cabinet formateur. [3] In forming the cabinet, Djumhana presented the programs of his cabinet:
Based on his program, Djumhana was able to obtain majority parliamentary backing for his cabinet. The Indonesian fraction approved the program but rejected to be given the position in the cabinet. [4]
Initially, Djumhana proposed a cabinet that includes pro-Indonesian politicians: [5]
It turned out that three ministers: Raden Mas Sewaka, Ukar Bratakusumah, and Maria Ulfah Santoso, rejected their position. Djumhana then reshuffled his proposal, and formed a new cabinet. [5]

Minister of Health | 19 January 1949 | 31 January 1949 | [6] |
After the formation of the new cabinet, Djumhana headed to Jakarta to attend the conference. It turned out his program was rejected by the Dutch for being pro-Indonesian and the Dutch pressured Djumhana to change his program. Djumhana rejected the request, but he was willing to participate in the talks on Bangka Island with the Indonesian government that was arrested, along with four other members of the federal state. [7]
Due to his rejection, Louis Beel, the High Commissioner of the Dutch East Indies, wrote to Wiranatakusumah and demanded to him that if the Djumhana cabinet programs were not promptly dropped, the State of Pasundan would be scrapped in favor of a strictly military government. To further emphasize his action, Louis Beel sent Major General Engels and R.W. van Diffelen to meet the Wali Negara. Both stated that if the demands were not fulfilled, then the Dutch military would arrest a number of the leading members of the Pasundan government. The Dutch presented to him a black list of to be arrested politicians, including his son. Wiranatakusumah threatened to resign from his position if the arrest occurred. [8]
To avoid further disobedience by Wiranatakusumah, the Dutch began the arrest on 14 January 1949. The arrested politicians were different from the list. The arrest occurred while Wiranatakusumah was on a working trip around Pasundan, and Djumhana was in Bangka Island. [9]
Soon after the arrest, the Parliament of Pasundan withdrew its support to the cabinet and four ministers from the cabinet resigned. Djumhana tried in vain for a week to rearrange his cabinet, and on 28 January 1949, his cabinet officially resigned. [10]
