IV of X: Racial Violence in Indonesia

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.
