I am a Malaysian and Indonesia is just beside my country. I feel
very angry and disgusting after I knew that these type of crazy and animal
behaviours can happen in the the society that we called civilized society.I
strongry object and condemn those people who involved in these animal
activities. They should get the penalties and regret for the rest of their
life.
But I think the most important thing is we must teach the young and next
generation properly. We must instil the concepts of liberal, democratic,
social awareness and others to them. We should tell them there are actually
no differences between Chinese and Malay because we are all the human
being. We are just the same. Beside, education also is the most important
tool that can be used to raise the public awareness and social concerns.
I think we should start to think "who am I?" , "what is the
purpose of my existence in this world?" , " Am I liberal to think ?"
............ In this information era, we must think more frequently instead
of just receive the informations. How do we make sure the truth of those
informations? So, think about it.

To Whom It May Concern,
I consider myself a very lucky one living in a safe place. As I Chinese
women, I am really angry and sad when viewing all photos and hearing news
about what happen at Indonesia. However, I do think that this news and
these crimes should be known and heard by everyone living in this world. No
one can neglect these facts, even he/she doesn't live in Indonesia. These
are what human beings can do each other, worst than animals. I don't know
if rapping Chinese women really can help to solve the problems there. This
is the same as if we Chinese want to get it even by rapping Indonesian
women. This won't do any good to all of us anyway.
One thing really bothers me. There are Japanese women living there also.
Why Chinese? It is because Japanese usually can stick together and be there
for each other. I think it may be time for all of us, all Chinese, stand
together and help each other. One stick is easily to be broken into half; a
bunch of them cannot be broken anyhow. I really appreciate this page
telling us the truth. It's time for us stand together for our people!

The crime which the native have done is unforgivable. But to be a Chinese,
we should try to view the situation of Indonesia in an alternative point.
Have we ever try to explain why such a riot happened? Is there anything
which we have done wrong?
Indonesia is a very rich country in term of natural resource. Indonesian,
by history is rich, they are not required to work so hard, and their basic
needs are satisfied by the rich natural resource. So they are used to be
lasz and not aggressive at all. On the contrary, Chinese is the most hard
working race, we will not waste any time, any chance to maximize our
wealth. Because of this difference, a conflict between native and Chinese
has been sustain seen long long time ago. May we remember during th 1950's
to 60's, the situation of Chinese in Indonesia was also very worst. At
that time, looting, raping, and terriorist crime happened everyday and lots
of Chinese have left their home and return to China, or other countries.
History told us that the anti-Chinese campaign has even stopped since the
first day when our ex-generation has developed a big wealth in Indonesia.
What have been done have done, and no way to reverse. So what we should do
is to avoid it happens again. I think the hatred has been accumulated for
too long. We cannot force the government to do anything to suppress the
free will of the native. What we should do is to found a way to share the
wealth which we made from the land of Indonesia with the owner of the land
- the native. They are exploded to long by us, we have to do something to
relieve their pain, their hatred. No matter how, we are guest in
Indonesia, pls try to share the success of the land, that the native and
enjoy more.
If we want to start in Indonesia, we have to change our old practice. To
be a big family of Indonesian - both native and Chinese - build up a fair
community and solve the problem from the fundamental way.
The crime is unforgivable, but more important is, the crime should not
happen again.
