caption_attribution_description: English: Suryatati Abdul Manan as the Administrative Mayor of Tanjung Pinang from 1996 until 2001.
context_page_description: Dra. Hj. Suryatati Abdul Manan was a Malay politician who became the first mayor of Tanjungpinang.
context_section_description: Manan was inaugurated as the Administrative Mayor of Tanjungpinang on 19 April 1996 by the Deputy Governor of Riau, Abdul Rivaie Rahman. 
  Manan struggled to upgrade the status of Tanjungpinang from a administrative city to an autonomous city. Since November 2000, she frequently lobbied the government of the Riau Province and the central government regarding the possibility of upgrading the status of Tanjungpinang. On February 2001, the Ministry of Internal Affairs responded the struggle by forming a study team from the University of Indonesia to assess the feasibility of Tanjungpinang to obtain the status of an autonomous city. By April 2001, the study team had submitted the bill about the upgrade of Tanjungpinang's status to the People's Representative Council.
  During her term, Manan managed to increase the regional income of the city to IDR 29 trillion ($ 2.8 million). She stated that the income largely came from the tourism and trade sector. She also remarked that such amount of regional income is huge, even by comparing it to the autonomous city. 
  In 1999, she was nominated as the possible candidate for the Regent of the Riau Islands. She lost the election to Huzrin Hood.
