Lasarus, the chairman of the Partai Demokrasi Indonesia (PDIP) Regional Leadership Board in West Kalimantan Province, stated, “The incumbent is the top priority to run, continuing the second term. The rest, please wait in line. If you don’t want to wait, then leave the party!”
This party rule, as stated by Lasarus, who is also the chairman of Commission V of the Indonesian People’s Consultative Assembly, applies to Tjhai Chui Mie, the incumbent mayor of Singkawang, West Kalimantan. Thus, this Hakka woman will be endorsed by the party to continue her leadership in the “Kota Amoi” for the 2024-2029 period.
The name of this distinguished Hakka woman has soared in the realm of “political martial arts,” especially in West Kalimantan but also nationally and globally.

The political dragons of Singkawang are no different. Tjhai Chui Mie, with her impressive track record and increasing popularity, is predicted to follow suit.
In due time, Chui Mie may decide to return to politics to support the party’s voice in the Regional Representative Council (DPRD) or even the People’s Consultative Assembly (DPR). At the same time, this strengthens her position in the political world before deciding to run again for mayor.
