Yoe Sin Gie

Yoe Sin Gie (Chinese: 海信義; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Hái Sìn-gī) (1880-1957), sometimes spelled Joe Sin Gie, was a Peranakan Chinese businessman and newspaper owner largely remembered for being one of the co-founders and first director of Sin Po, one of the most popular Chinese Indonesian newspapers of the Dutch East Indies.

[1] Yoe and Lauw came up with a plan to create their own competing newspaper, Sin Po.

At around the time the paper changed from a weekly to a daily format, Yoe stepped down from his dudies there, being replaced as director on May 9, 1912, by Oey Tjioe Yong.

[3] Aside from being involved with Sin Po, Yoe was active on the board of the Batavia branch of the Tiong Hoa Hwee Koan, a diasporic Chinese educational movement with local branches around the Indies.

He was listed as a commissioner on the board during the same years he was director of Sin Po, from 1910 to 1912.
