Good to see you again.
It was very sad mom...@Simon,<br />Good to see you again.<br />It was very sad moments for every Indonesians.<br />The saddest thing is that those who are supposed to be responsible, officially or unofficially, are now in high positions. <br /><br />@Colson,<br />Yes Colson, beside the May 1998 tragedy Indonesia still has the 1965 massacre of millions of people. Why didn't the international community press for investigations, like in other countries?

It's necessary though for national identity and sound & stable relations, to come to terms with the past.<br /><br />Like Simon I know quite a few Indonesian nationals who still have to cope with the national trauma of May '98'. And, though the generation that had to live through it is gradually passing away, there is this other major national tragedy also: the massacres of '65/'66.<br /><br />It would indeed be about time to start a broad, objective and thorough investigation in both national trauma's.colsonhttp://www.pelopor.nlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33513300642419002.post-38100469982571132292010-05-15T08:13:28.175+07:002010-05-15T08:13:28.175+07:00Such a sad time, and unfortunately one that is sti...Such a sad time, and unfortunately one that is still in the minds of many Chinese Indonesians here. <br /><br />It has been brought up many times by Chinese friends in conversation - and something that many friends haven't ruled out happening again.<br /><br />Let's hope instability and rioting can be avoided again.
