| Occupation | Politician |
Tiki was a Deputy Minister of Rural and Regional Development in the Barisan Nasional government (appointed in 2004[2]), but was left out of the ministry after the 2008 election.[3] His loss of the ministry triggered unhappiness among the Bidayuh community in Sarawak that there were no longer any Bidayuh appointed to the ministry.[4] He was dropped as a Barisan Nasional candidate for the 2013 election. He recontested the seat as an independent, but was defeated by the Barisan Nasional candidate Nogeh Gumbek.[5][6] Presently he is a member of Malaysian United Indigenous Party or Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (BERSATU), a component of Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition, in which he joined in 2018.
