If you have watched TV, read newspapers, or turned on the
radio this past several days, you may heard of the riots in
Indonesia. News media are telling us the Indonesian Pribumis
(Malay) people are rising up against the Suharto dictatorship.
We are told that the Indonesia poor Malay suffered a lot
under Suharto's corrupted regime, and they wanted change.
The Indonesia Pribumis (Malay) comprises over 80% of the
total population. Most of them are Muslims. The Indonesian
ethnic Chinese minority are mostly Buddhist or Christian.
The news media portrayed the Indonesian Malay as honest,
decent, peace loving people who rioted because they were
hungry, they were poor, and they were victimized by Suharto,
and his filthy-rich Indonesian Chinese allies.
who is Suharto? Is Suharto an Indonesian Pribumi (Malay,)
or is he an Indonesian Chinese? Is Suharto a Muslim, or is
he a Christian or a Buddhist? Aren't you curious that almost
all reports about the Indonesian rioters savagely attacking
businesses owned by the Indonesian ethnic Chinese minority
come with the DISCLAIMER-like pseudo- economic news
attachment that reminds us of the "disproportion wealth
gap" between the Chinese and the Malay in Indonesia?
A disclaimer-like news attachment usually looks like this:
"The Indonesian ethnic Chinese minority only comprises less
than 4% of the Indonesian population, but they controlled
more than (70%, 75%, 80%,85%, 90%, take your pick) of the
entire Indonesian economy." Don't you find it strange the
news media attach an ECONOMIC disclaimer whenever they
report the BLATANTLY RACIST RIOTS in Indonesia perpetrated
by people from the MAJORITY RACE against people of the
MINORITY RACE?
Could it be possible that 4% of the population controlling
over 90% of the economy? Suharto and his family are reported
to have accumulated up to 40 BILLION USD in wealth. Is
Suharto and his family counted among the 4% of the
population? Is Suharto and his family ethnically CHINESE?
Is the World Press reporting from Indonesia consistent with
their reporting from elsewhere around the world? Here are
several recent world events, as reported to us by the same
International Media: In Rwanda, when the MAJORITY Hutus
attacked and massacre the minority Tutsis, the World Press
reported it as a racial-based tragedy. There was no mention
of the economic differences. In Bosnia, when the MAJORITY
Serbs and/or the Croats attacked and massacre the Bosnia
Muslims, the International Media told us it was
religious-based.
The conflicts between the Albanian and Serbs in Kosovo are
being reported as race-based conflicts.Why then, whenever
the Indonesian Malay MAJORITY savagely attacked the
Indonesian Chinese minority, the World Media kept on
insisting that the attacks motivated by RACIST hatred were
ECONOMIC-related riots?
Have you heard any single news story that portrayed the
Indonesian Malay as racists for their attack on Chinese
owned businesses? Have you wonder why the Indonesian Malay
only attacked the Chinese shops, and not the Malay,
American, British, or Arabian businesses?
Are ALL Indonesian Chinese FILTHY-RICH? Of the Indonesian
Chinese, only 5% can be classified as wealthy. The
rest -NINETY-FIVE PERCENT (95%) - of them are either in
the medium or lower-income strata of the Indonesian economy.
Today, many Indonesian ethnic Chinese are still living in
wooden shacks because they can NOT afford brick houses.
Many of the poor Indonesian Chinese worked very hard but
they still find it extremely difficult to make enough money
to feed and house their family. Most of the really wealthy
Indonesian Chinese already LEFT Indonesia. Those stayed
behind in Indonesia are the poor Chinese who don't have
the economic means to escape. And they are those whose
businesses are being LOOTED, whose merchandizes are being
PLUNDERED, whose buildings are being TORCHED, whose women
are being RAPED, and whose children are being BRUTALLY
SLAUGHTERED.
They are the ones made homeless by the Pribumis savagery
attacks, they are made even poorer for having their small
business totally destroyed by the rioters. The shops that
were destroyed were mostly mom-and-pop type of small
business. With their shops burnt to the ground, those
already poor Chinese gotten even POORER. They lost not
only their businesses, they lost their home, and they
lost many of their family members who were killed by the
Indonesian Malay rioters.
How many of the news reports you have read regarding the
Indonesian riots mentioned all these facts? What is the
percentage of those news reports even talked about the
Chinese who were BRUTALLY BUTCHERED by the rioters?
Think back for a minute, of the many of the news reports
you have read about Indonesia, can you think of one which
mentioned the number of Chinese killed in by the Malay
rioters? How many of those news reports focused on the
plight of the Indonesian ethnic Chinese minority?
Did the News Media ever tell us how many Chinese were hurt?
Did they tell us how many Chinese women were RAPED?
Did they tell us how many Chinese were SLAUGHTERED?
Did they described to us what type of HORRIBLE DEATHS the
Chinese had suffered by the hands of the BRUTAL HANDS of the
Malay rioter
Do you know the story of the innocent THREE-YEAR-OLD Chinese
GIRL who was BRUTALLY BUTCHERED by the Indonesian Malay
rioters when they broke into her parents house, in Tanjong
Pinang, of Indonesia? The rioters first broke into her
parents' house. They KILLED her grandmother. Then the
rioters RAPED and BUTCHERED her mother Finally they
MURDERED this INNOCENT 3 year-old Chinese GIRL, by smashed
open her skull, with a metal pipe.
Has CNN reported this news?
Has BBC covered this event?
Has AP, UPI, or Reuters distributed this story?
Wonder why none of the Wold Press is interested in
reporting the horrible death of an INNOCENT 3-year-old
GIRL? Was it because the little girl is from the Indonesia
ethnic Chinese minority background? Was it because her
family is definitely NOT rich, which may jeopardized the
"Indonesian Chinese = FILTHY-RICH" image painted by so
many journalists reporting from Indonesia, for the World
Media? Was it because she was a innocently sweet little
girl, unlike the "Indonesian Chinese = COLD-HEARTED,
EVIL BUSNESSMEN" image so many journalists would have
us believed?
Was it because her INNOCENCE may proved to us that
Indonesian Chinese are flesh-and-blood human beings,
much like the rest of the humanities,which again,
may smash the "Indonesian Chinese nON-HUMAN" image many
members of the World Press would like to plant deep into
our minds?
what motivated the International Press members to engage
in such a world-wide scale of DIS-INFORMATION campaign?
Why are so many journalists trying to make the Indonesian
ethnic Chinese minority into a "FILTHY-RICH," "COLD-
HEARTED," and "EVIL" people, and In the meantime they try
to portray the Indonesian pribumi (Malay) rioters, who
would NOT even spare the life of an INNOCENT 3-year-old
LITTLE GIRL, as "MILD-MANNERED"?
The Indonesian Chinese are the VICTIMS, the Indonesian
Pribumis are the PETRATORS. But yet, every time a news
story of Chinese houses being burned, the same news story
also told us how WEALTHY those Chinese are. Did you ever
read a news report which scrutinized the wealth of the
victims who just had their house burned to the ground?
Every time there is a mention about Chinese business being
looted, there is also a mention of how much ECONOMIC POWER
those Chinese have. How many time have you ever read a news
report which linked the economic status of a mug victim, to
the crime (of mugging) itself? just how credible are the
news reports from Indonesia? How ludicrous the journalists
want to be?
How much DIS-INFORMATION they are allowed to pump out before
they are called to task to answer for all the GARBAGES they
have written? Are the Indonesian ethnic Chinese minorities
strong allies of Suharto?
The Indonesian ethnic Chinese minorities had been victimized
under the Suharto-led Pribumi government.. Although they are
ethnic Chinese, they are NOT allowed to have a Chinese name.
The Suharto-led Pribumi regime dictated that NO Chinese in
Indonesia can have Chinese name.
ALL Chinese in Indonesia MUST have Indonesian name, or they
will not be granted an Indonesian citizenship. This law only
applies to the ethnic Chinese.A person with Italian ancestry
applying for an Indonesian citizenship is allowed to keep his
Italian name.
A person born in Indonesia by a Mexican parentage is allowed
to carry a Mexican name on his Indonesian citizenship form.
A Russian is allowed to keep his Russian name as well. ONLY
the Chinese are prohibited from having a Chinese name. The
law specifically discriminates against the ethnic Chinese.
Indonesian Chinese are NOT allowed to learn the Chinese
language.
In Indonesia, a couple of from Nigeria can teach their
children the Nigerian language. Anyone interested in learning
French can enrolled into French courses offered in several
Indonesian colleges and universities. But if a Chinese is
caught learning the Chinese language in Indonesia, [s]he may
be thrown into jail for breaking the anti-Chinese law.
A person caught TEACHING Chinese language in Indonesia may
face the DEATH penalty if he is charged under the "subversive"
act. In Indonesia, ONLY the Chinese-language is forbidden.
Indonesian Chinese are not allowed to celebrate the Chinese
New year.
In Indonesia, Muslim's holy days such as Ramadan are
celebrated. In Indonesia, Christian's holy days like Christmas
and Easter are celebrated. But in Indonesia, the Indonesian
Chinese are prohibited from celebrating their Chinese New Year.
In Indonesia, the Chinese are not allowed to work for the
government. Persons from Brazilian or German heritage are not
barred from working in the Indonesian government. But a ethnic
Chinese who was born in Indonesia is not allowed to work in
ANY Indonesian government department. In Indonesia, the
Chinese are discriminated.The ethnic Chinese are not permitted
to have permanent land title.
The same restriction does NOT apply to Caucasian from the
United States, however. The ethnic Chinese are prohibited
from obtaining governmental scholarships. No such restriction
for people of ANY OTHER ethnic background. The Indonesian
ethnic Chinese minority is the ONLY group of people in Indonesia
who are officially PERSECUTED by the Suharto-led regime.
A coup led by Suharto, back in the 1960's, resulted in a
total defeat of PKI (Parti Komunis Indonesia, or the
Indonesian Communist Party). Suharto and his army cracked
down on members of the PKI, and more than 2 MILLION people
died during the purging process. Among the dead were more
than 300,000 (some estimates ran up to more than 500,000)
INNOCENT ethnic Chinese who had nothing to do with neither
Suharto, nor PKI, were MURDERED.
How possible do you think a group of victims will strongly
supported the person [or regime] who stripped them the right
to practice their own culture? Mild-mannered people don't
loot, plunder, rape or kill people, no matter how
economically-challenged they are. The Indonesian Pribumis
who looted, plundered, raped and killed the chinese are
definitely NOT mild-mannered.
The Indonesia Malay attacked the Chinese not for the money,
the attacked the Chinese because they [Pribumis] are RACISTS.
The attacks are blatantly RACIALLY-MOTIVATED attacks.
Why is the World Press keep avoiding to report the TRUTH?
Why are the journalists trying so hard to hide all those
RACIST ATTACKS under the economic banner?
What objective[s] the World Media like to achieve by
misguiding us, their audiences?
What are the possible reason[s] beneath this massive
DIS-INFORMATION campaign?
We want the world to witness the TRUE PLIGHT of the
Indonesian Chinese
We want to spread this TRUTH to the world. Please help us.
We do not ask for money, we don't ask for pity. What we ask,
and hope you will do, is to HELP us.
Help us by distributing this message, to everyone you know.
We need to spread the TRUTH to as many people as we possibly
can, we need to tell the world that the Indonesian Huaren are
not the evil people the mass media would like you to believe.
We also need your help to contact people in political offices.
We urgently need outside pressures stop the save the lives of
innocent ethnic Chinese in Indonesia. With only less than 4% of
the total population, the ethnic Chinese in Indonesia can't
possibly withstand the unrelenting onslaughts by the Indonesian
Malay.
In Rwanda, the Hutus massacred 500,000 Tutsis. In Indonesia,
if the world do not step in, over 7 MILLION people may be
butchered. This is the time we need as much outside pressure
as we possibly can gather. We need the world's response to STOP
the Indonesian Malays from committing even more heinous murders.
Please call or fax this message to your local council persons,
the mayor of your city, your state's representative, national
representative,parliamentarians or congressmen/women, ask them
to voice their support PUBLICLY for the Indonesian Chinese, and
ask them to put pressure on the Indonesian government in
preventing more bloodshed from occurring.
Our heartfelt thanks to each and everyone of you for your help.
