So, there was definitely some political mystery behind it. Army trucks loaded with Timorese provocateurs? Come to think of it, the pictures of Prabowo and Hercules come to my mind.
But it's not true that only chinese were the victims. My uncle's shop was almost looted, thank God we have many male members in our big family to protect the shop. In cengkareng, the some police officers were beaten to death by the mobs who hate the police so much.
The morning after, my mom's cousin said that he saw an army truck unloaded some young men near shopping area (ruko) few hundreds meter away from my house. the next thing happened, the shopping area was burned, people looted the shops, and the owner of the shops (mostly chinese) took refuge. Then I saw that the provocateurs for the looting activity were some criminal looking (preman) with Timorese accent and looks. They're definitely not Jakartans.
I'm Indonesian, Betawian to be sure. I live in Cengkareng, West Jakarta. The rape did happen in Daan Mogot street. But the rapists were those bandits from certain area known as the kampong of bandits not far from the airport (my father will never take me to those kampong). So, yes horror happened during the riot, but it was done by bandits, not by ordinary Indonesians.
Don't you all know that Soeharto is chinese too? He had blood relation with Mr Liong, one of the strongest bank in Indonesia.
Well, The first riots against Indonesian Chinese occurred in 1965 Where Soeharto change many words, like Tiongkok as China, Tionghua as Cina.
In fact, that Soeharto also restricted Mandarin, Lion Dance, Chinese new year, especially Ang Pao. It's all the politics things. Now, how can we change things that have been implemented for 32 years?
Well, 1998 was the second riots in Indonesia, and again The Indonesian Chinese who born, lived, and makes money for this lovely country, betrayed again, being as the black sheep of the politics again, and worse, this happens during the rise of Soeharto and the fall of Soeharto.
my dad is chinese indonesian and my mum is maori, but I still think im indonesian and pretty damn proud about it. I was really young when this happened, but looking at this makes me really sad. Its really incredible just to imagine how they, uni students like me can really made so much impact to the country.
Thanks for the video! I was still eleven-ish at that time, I believed all his propaganda and that is taught since day one we step into our school yard, that he is hero, that Soeharto should be worshipped. thanks to them, I suddenly hear a new words.. words that was never been taught in school, "reformation", "corruption", "status-quo". :)
I am an indonesian and yes I DO HATE MY OWN COUNTRY. No good whatsoever. Goddamn dirty indonesian government. Wasnt good then and its worst off now.NGENTOT !!
If you hate to be an Indonesian. Just change your nationality. And stop saying "I am an Indonesian" again (gitu aja koq repot). If you don't like the Indonesian goverment, go make some changes and make it better. I'm sure that, you don't even do anything to Indonesia. Stop saying bullshit and do nothing!
ha! I am pretty sure that the student movement has nothing to do with the "Pembantaian Tionghoa" in Indonesia. :D A lot of Chinese people think it is connected, but it's not.
The intention of the students were bringing Suharto down. That's it!
proud and proud yea.. i can't waiting china is more bigger and more richer while you still keep your barbaric style of life.. i can't waiting.. keep like that.. ok ?
mau ikut demo pada waktu keluarga sedang terancam dibantai ???? orang macam apa kamu ??? coba kamu rasain sekeluarga di bunuh pasti kamu ngga bisa ngmng seperti ini skrg . hahahahahahahahaaha .
kamu masih gak ngerti. :D Mahasiswa hanya berbaris ke gedung MPR/DPR! dan itu menurut gw pure untuk demo soeharto! :) gak ada hubungannya ama "Pembantaian Tionghoa" di hari berikutnya. Gw yakin, itu pasti bukan perbuatan anak anak trisakti, tapi provokator. Gimana kamu bisa jelasin, orang tionghoa yang mati tertembak di Trisakti? come on lah!
Remember one of the victims from trisakti is Indonesian Chinnesse...we fight against regime not chinnesse.The chinnesse riots is because of some political agenda trying to make Indonesia unstable with all those changes!Feel and Learn!!
Dan kamu ketawa karena ngga ada sense of belonging of Indonesia,dont just think about money.I have a lot indo chinesse friend,but one like you we dont need it...just go to Australia and forget about Indonesia....FUCK OFF
Gw tau rasanya kehilangan, dan gw yakin 100% anak anak trisakti itu orang orang terpelajar. Mereka hanya demo Soeharto, karena soeharto sudah merugikan Indonesia selama puluhan tahun! tidak mungkin mereka bakal merugikan orang Tionghoa.
you proud for bring this to international website like you tube ??? hahahahahahah.. people will say this is disgusting you know ? disgusting and freak.. you proud huh ? proud for showing this barbaric video.. what a shame.. if you proud it's okey.. it's up to you.. hahhahahahahahha..
I rent a small room just near from the Citraland (just across the university). And there were no Chinesse-Indonesian being hurt or raped there. The story about the abattoir or raped Chinesse-Indonesian was just a fake story, so they can use it as a reason to enter the USA as asylum. This case is already known and closed in the USA.
mas loe pernah denger apartment yg deket pluit ga.. mitra bahari.... emank ada yang fake story buat dapetin visa.. tapi kejadian raped itu beneran ada..
Bacanya hati2 dong. Saya cuma reply bahwa dibilang daerah dekat Trisakti menyedihkan, terutama untuk etnis tertentu (baca komen simpsons). Lagian coba sebutin nama korban meninggal kebakar pas kerusuhan Mei, apa korbannya dari etnis tionghua-indonesia? Liat suatu keadaan yang adil lah... ga perlu pake bawa amarah dan semagat ke-etnis-an segala.

The CIA put Suharto into power and then pushed him out of power? The riots were the work of elements of the military?

it's good to see the truth!
I was in Jakarta when it happened and yet I've never SEEN the full extent of what happened until now!
The little bits & pieces of news I got were filtered down from my parents & friends.
So there. Better to show it now than never.
