1986

Sarundajang became the mayor of the administrative city of Bitung in 1986.

Unlike cities in Indonesia, administrative city do not have any city council and is not an autonomous territory.

1990

Sarundajang attempted to propose Bitung into an autonomous city, and his proposal was accepted in 1990.

Bitung officially became a city on 10 October 1990, and Sarundajang was inaugurated as mayor on the same day.

1991

Sarundajang became the definitive mayor after he was elected in 1991 (assumed office on 7 December 1991) and again in 1996 (assumed office on 7 December 1996).

1999

Similar to its northern counterpart, the Moluccas had experienced religious conflict between Christians and Muslims since 1999.

The Moluccan populace was divided on Sarundajang's acting governorship, with Muslims in the region opposing him and Christians supporting him.

Once again, Sarundajang was able to reconcile the province and successfully held gubernatorial election.

Sarundajang was revered by Christians in the province as a "little angel".

He handed over his office to Karel Albert Rahalalu, the elected Christian governor, under dramatically improved social and political conditions.

2000

Sarundajang ended his term after he handed over his office to city secretary Lexie Gobel on 10 April 2000.

Sarundajang, who served as mayor for over fourteen years, became the third longest-serving mayor in Indonesia after Suryatati Abdul Manan (17 years) and Soedarisman Poerwokoesoemo (19 years).

After ending his tenure in Bitung, Sarundajang was posted in Jakarta where he became the staff to the Minister of Internal Affairs.

A year later, Sarundajang became the Inspector General of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, replacing Andi Jalal Bachtiar.

Sarundajang's tenure as inspector general was short lived as Sarundajang was sent to North Moluccas to become acting governor.

His main task as acting governor was to pacify the region, which had been ridden with widespread religious violence between Muslims and Christians.

2004

The next day, Sarundajang began his trip around North Moluccas, where he visited the houses of local community and religious leaders.

Sarundajang shocked the leaders by entering their houses through the back door instead of the usual front door.

In what he called as a show of good deed, Sarundajang drank a glass of water before conversing with the leaders each time he visited a house.

Sarundajang's approach was lauded by the local Muslims and Christians.

As a sign of respect, Muslims in the region gave him the title of khalifa.

After successfully negotiating with both sides, Sarundajang brought together both parties into a discussion.

Both parties agreed to a reconciliation and a gubernatorial election was held shortly after.
