History

The second Amir Sjarifuddin Cabinet (Indonesian: Kabinet Amir Sjarifuddin Kedua) was Indonesia's sixth cabinet and was the result of a reshuffle to allow for the entry of the Masyumi Party, which gained five posts. The cabinet lasted only two months and eleven days, from 12 November 1947 to 23 January 1948, after Masyumi withdrew its ministers in protest at the Renville Agreement the government signed with the Dutch.

Composition

Following the 11 November reshuffle, the composition of the new cabinet was announced in a meeting of the Working Committee of the Central Indonesian National Committee, which at the time served as the legislature. The cabinet was inaugurated at midday on 12 November.[1]

End of the cabinet

Masjumi was unhappy with the composition of the cabinet form the outset, feeling it did not represent a real move to an all-inclusive cabinet.[1] Realizing the government was about to sign the Renville Agreement with the Dutch, Masjumi withdrew from the cabinet in protest on 16 January 1948. After the agreement was signed the following day, the PNI also withdrew its support for Prime Minister Amir Sjarifuddin, who resigned on 23 January.[2]
