Biography of Mohammad Hatta
Many books review Biography and Mohammad Hatta's Profile. It was stated that Mohammad Hatta was born on August 12, 1902 in Bukittinggi. In this beautiful little town, Hatta grew up in the family environment of his mother named Siti Saleha. His father, Haji Mohammad Djamil, died when Hatta was eight months old.
Mohammad Hatta has six sisters. He is the only son. He started his basic education at ELS (Europeesche Lagere School). Since sitting at MULO (Meer Uitgebreid Lager Onderwijs) in the city of Padang, he has been interested in the movement.
Since 1916, youth associations have emerged, such as Jong Java, Jong Sumatranen Bond, Jong Minahasa. and Jong Ambon. Hatta entered the Jong Sumatranen association.
As treasurer of Jong Sumatranen Bond, he realized the importance of financial meaning for the life of the association. But the financial resources of both membership dues and outside donations may only be smooth if the members have a sense of responsibility and discipline. A sense of responsibility and discipline then characterizes Mohammad Hatta's characteristics.
Study in the Netherlands
In 1921 Hatta arrived in the Netherlands to study at the Handels Hoge School in Rotterdam. He registered as a member of the Indische Vereniging. In 1922, the association changed its name to Indonesische Vereniging. The association, which refused to cooperate with the Dutch, was later renamed the Indonesian Association (PI).
Hatta also sought to make the association magazine, Hindia Poetra, published regularly as a basis for binding members. In 1924 this magazine changed its name to Indonesia Merdeka.
Hatta passed the handels economie test in 1923. Originally he intended to take a doctoral examination in the field of economics at the end of 1925.
Therefore in 1924 he was non-active in the PI. But at that time a new department was opened, namely state law and administrative law. Hatta also entered the department driven by his great interest in politics.
The extension of his study plan allowed Hatta to be elected as Chairman of the PI on January 17, 1926. On this occasion, he delivered an inaugural speech entitled "Economische Wereldbouw en Machtstegenstellingen" or the Structure of the World Economy and Power Opposition.
