Zainal Arifin Paliwang (born 16 December 1962) is an Indonesian politician and the current governor of North Kalimantan.[3] His inauguration as governor in February 2021 was attended by very few people, all of whom required PCR tests, due to COVID-19 health and safety protocol.[2]
In mid-2021, Paliwang met with his counterpart, Isran Noor, to confirm details on the construction of a potential Berau-Bulungan toll road connecting North Kalimantan to East Kalimantan.[3]
On February 8, 2022, his eldest son, Novandi Arya Kharizma, died in a car accident on Senen, Central Jakarta.[4]
