Sahbirin Noor is an Indonesian politician who served as the governor of South Kalimantan from 2016 until 2024.[1] His vice governor Rudy Resnawan rebounded after having initially looked poised to lose the gubernatorial election in 2015.[2] Sahbirin has taken the initiative to rehabilitate about sixty-thousand hectares of degraded land in the province.[3]

On 8 October 2024, Sahbirin, along with six others, were named as suspects by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), due to their involvement in a bribery case relating to the construction of a football field, a swimming pool, and an administrative services office. Unlike six others, Sahbirin is yet to be detained by the KPK, but the KPK has announced that the detention would be done within 20 days.[4][5]
