III of X: Beyond the Religious Conflicts of North Maluku
The mass civilian killings of North Maluku have began to subside with the increasingly forceful action taken by the government through the military. The dilemmas, which haunt the people of North Maluku, which are far more tangible than the superficiality of the conflict between two religious groups, however, remain untouched and unsolved.

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.
