Maman Abdurrahman (born 10 September 1980) is an Indonesian politician serving as Minister of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises since 2024. From 2018 to 2024, he was a member of the House of Representatives.
Controversy Maman attracted controversy when a circular letter under the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises heading dated on 30 June 2025 went viral in social media. The letter was a request for 6 Indonesian ambassadors and a consulate general in Istanbul, Pomorie, Sofia, Brussels, Paris, Lucerne, and Milan to accompany his wife, Agustina Hastarini, from 30 June to 14 July 2025 under a "cultural mission". Because Agustina was not a government official, Maman was accused for abuse of power. Then on 4 July 2025, Maman gave his clarification to KPK that the visit of his wife accompanying his children to the World Innovative Student Expo was covered with his own expenses, not via state budget. He also admitted that he had no idea where the circular letter was made.Amirullah. (5 Juli 2025). "Profil dan Harta Maman Abdurrahman, Menteri UMKM yang Istrinya Diduga Minta Fasilitas Tur Eropa".
