IV of X: Racial Violence in Indonesia
For 32 years, the ethnic Chinese have been targeted as one of the main "victims" by the government system; it is a systematic discrimination. The discrimination has been embedded subtly, and yet very clearly in the government's procedures and policies. Security and safety always come with an "under the table" price tag, which is a form of crime. Currently, there are at least 16 laws that could be considered as racist. Thirteen out of the sixteen could be considered as targeted directly against ethnic Chinese, covering the areas of civil, political and social rights. Nine out of those thirteen are the products of the New Order Regime, which introduced most of them in its early days.

VIII of X: Growing Up A Minority Female in Indonesia
Growing up as a part of the minority in Indonesia is degrading and, at the same time, making one feeling unsheltered. One small mistake in mingling with the majority can cost more than one can bear. Nothing and nobody can guarantee your safety. Not the government, not the law, not the armed forces. Being a female, an ethnic Chinese and a Catholic increase the odds exponentially. Only with a strong and intense commitment to live and to stay alive can a member of this triple-fold minority survive.

Elephant Art Could Become Big
Elephants don't have an easy life. They're too big for their own good. They eat too much. They need too much area to roam around in while they look for food. While they look for food they damage trees, shrubs, gardens, people--whatever is in their way. African elephants face the ivory problem: they've got it; man wants it. Asian elephants face hunger because they can't find work.
