Oey Bian Kong

Oey Bian Kong, Kapitein der Chinezen was a prominent Chinese-Indonesian bureaucrat who served from 1791 until 1800 as the 20th Kapitein der Chinezen of Batavia (now Jakarta, capital of Indonesia), and the last under the Dutch East India Company, which was dissolved in 1799. This post was the most senior in the Chinese civil bureaucracy that governed the local Chinese community as part of the Dutch colonial system of 'indirect rule'. His family maintained its position in the Chinese officership until the early twentieth century in the person of his great-great-grandson, Luitenant Oey Keng Hien, who was in office from 1899 until 1903.
