Hanum Salsabiela Rais (born 1982) is a politician, writer, and former television presenter from Yogyakarta as she used to work as reporter and news presenter at TransTV for 5 years. She served as a Member of the Regional People's Representative Council of the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province (DPRD DIY) (id) for 2019–2024. Previously a member of the National Mandate Party, Rais joined the Ummah Party in 2023 and yet retired from politics since early 2025, focusing in film and media literary activities ever since.

Hanum's first screenwriting project was to adapt her novel 99 Cahaya di Langit Eropa (99 Lights in the European Sky).[1] Since then, she has penned scripts for several films, including Bulan Terbelah di Langit Amerika Parts 1 & 2 (2015–2016), Hanum Rangga: Faith and The City (2019), and I am Sarahza (2025) which is bridged to adapted title Jangan Menyerah, Ibu (I am Sarahza) produced by Sinemart.

Career

Rais has a degree from the Faculty of Dentistry at Gadjah Mada University.[5] She has worked as a dentist as well as a television presenter and writer.[6] Co-authored with her husband Rangga Almahendra (id), the 2011 novel 99 Cahaya di Langit Eropa - and the film of the same name - is based on their life together, including a period living in Austria.[6] It deals with themes of migration and Islamophobia.[6] The 2013 collection Berjalan di Atas Cahaya was co-authored with Tutie Amaliah and Wardatul Ula.[7] It deals with social attitudes to Islam and how location can be a factor, for both those who practice the religion and those who do not.[7]

In 2018, she was accused by the Indonesian Dentists Association of breaking their ethical code by using social media to perpetuate misinformation about an alleged case of abuse, which turned out to be untrue. Nevertheless, the case subsided because the public kept comparing other hoaxes to what they considered the biggest hoax perpetrated by Joko Widodo, Indonesia’s seventh president, regarding allegations that his diploma was a fake.

Rais served as a Member of the Regional People's Representative Council of the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province (DPRD DIY) (id) for 2019–2024.[10][11] Previously a member of the National Mandate Party, Rais joined the Ummah Party in 2023.[12] In May 2024 she announced her candidacy for the role of Mayor of Yogyakarta.[13]
