why you using sub query?

SELECT * FROM `data` WHERE city LIKE 'jakar%'

With LIKE you can use the following two wildcard characters in the pattern.

Character   Description
%           Matches any number of characters, even zero characters
_           Matches exactly one character
\%          Matches one “%” character
\_          Matches one “_” character

does this query help you?

SELECT country 
FROM data
WHERE city LIKE CONCAT ('%', (SELECT LEFT ('jakartada',7)), '%');
