一封印尼華人請求散發的信（轉載）

　　　　
　　　　 To： All honorable members of the society致全社會正直的有良知的公民們
　　　　
　　　　 Dear Sir， and/or Mdm，親愛的先生/女士：
　　　　
　　　　 If you have watched TV， read newspapers， or turned on the radio this past several days， you may heard of the riots in Indonesia‧ News media are telling us the Indonesian Pribumis （Malay） people are rising up against the Suharto dictatorship‧ We are told that the Indonesia poor Malay suffered a lot under Suharto’s corrupted regime， and they wanted change‧
　　　　
　　　　 如果您最近幾天收看電視，看報紙，聽廣播，您可能已經聽說了印尼發生的暴亂。新聞媒體傳播的消息是，印尼的Pribumis（馬來人）正在反抗蘇哈托的專制。貧苦的馬來人在蘇的獨裁統治下受難多年，現在是他們來改變這種狀況的時候了。
　　　　
　　　　 The Indonesia Pribumis （Malay） comprises over 80% of the total population‧ Most of them are Muslims‧ The Indonesian ethnic Chinese minority are mostly Buddhist or Christian‧ The news media portrayed the Indonesian Malay as honest，decent， peace loving people who rioted because they were hungry， they were poor， and they were victimized by Suharto，and his filthy─rich Indonesian Chinese allies‧
　　　　
　　　　 印尼的馬來人佔總人口的80%‧他們中的大多數是*****。印尼華人是當地少數民族，大多信仰佛教或基督教。新聞媒體把印尼的馬來人描繪為誠實、正派、愛好和平的人，他們製造暴亂是因為他們飢餓、貧窮，他們是蘇哈托和不正當地富有的印尼華裔的犧牲品。
　　　　
　　　　 who is Suharto？ Is Suharto an Indonesian Pribumi （Malay，）
　　　　
　　　　 or is he an Indonesian Chinese？ Is Suharto a Muslim， or is he a Christian or a Buddhist？ Aren’t you curious that almost all reports about the Indonesian rioters savagely attacking businesses owned by the Indonesian ethnic Chinese minority come with the DISCLAIMER─like pseudo─ economic news attachment that reminds us of the “disproportion wealth gap“ between the Chinese and the Malay in Indonesia？
　　　　
　　　　 誰是蘇哈托？是印尼的馬來人？是印尼的華人？是*****？是基督徒還是佛教徒？您對幾乎所有的報導都把對印尼華人的殘暴行為跟華人與馬來人的貧富懸殊聯繫起來不感到奇怪嗎？
　　　　
　　　　 A disclaimer─like news attachment usually looks like this：“The Indonesian ethnic Chinese minority only comprises less than 4% of the Indonesian population， but they controlled more than （70%， 75%， 80%，85%， 90%， take your pick） of the entire Indonesian economy‧“
　　　　
　　　　 這類似乎非常客觀的經濟附加報導通常是以這樣的面目出現的：“印尼華人少數民族僅佔印尼總人口數量的4%不到，但他們卻控制著超過（70%、75%、80%、85%、90%，任由選擇）的經濟財富。“
　　　　
　　　　 Don’t you find it strange the news media attach an ECONOMIC disclaimer whenever they report the BLATANTLY RACIST RIOTS in Indonesia perpetrated by people om the MAJORITY RACE against people of the MINORITY RACE？
　　　　
　　　　 您沒有發現媒體的報導很奇怪嗎？無論什麼時候他們報導印尼多數民族反對少數民族的種族主義暴亂，上面這樣的“客觀“經濟報導總是附在後面！
　　　　
　　　　 Could it be possible that 4% of the population controlling over 90% of the economy？ Suharto and his family are reported to have accumulated up to 40 BILLION USD in wealth‧ Is Suharto and his family counted among the 4% of the population？ Is Suharto and his family ethnically CHINESE？
　　　　
　　　　 佔總人口4%的印尼華人有可能控制90%以上的經濟嗎？據報導蘇哈托和他的家族累積財富達400億美元。蘇哈托算在4%的人口裏面嗎？蘇哈托跟他的家人是華人嗎？
　　　　
　　　　 Is the World Press reporting om Indonesia consistent with their reporting om elsewhere around the world？ Here are several recent world events， as reported to us by the same International Media：
　　　　
　　　　 印尼的國際新聞（World Press）跟他們在世界其他地方的報導一致嗎？下面是最近的幾起國際性事件，由同一家國際媒體向我們報導。
　　　　
　　　　 In Rwanda， when the MAJORITY Hutus attacked and massacre the minority Tutsis， the World Press reported it as a racial─based tragedy‧ There was no mention of the economic differences‧ In Bosnia， when the MAJORITY Serbs and/or the Croats attacked and massacre the Bosnia Muslims， the International Media told us it was religious─based‧
　　　　
　　　　 在盧旺達，多數民族Hutus屠殺少數民族Tutsis，國際新聞報導，這是基於種族主義的悲劇。沒有提到任何經濟差異。在波西尼亞，多數民族塞族（Serbs）和/或克族（Croats）襲擊波西尼亞的*****，這家媒體告訴我們，這是基於宗教的殺戮。
　　　　
　　　　 The conflicts between the Albanian and Serbs in Kosovo are being reported as race─based conflicts‧Why then， whenever the Indonesian Malay MAJORITY savagely attacked the Indonesian Chinese minority， the World Media kept on insisting that the attacks motivated by RACIST hatred were ECONOMIC─related riots？
　　　　
　　　　 在科索沃（Kosovo）的阿爾巴尼亞人和塞族人之間的衝突，被報導為基於種族主義的爭端。但為什麼，不論什麼時候印尼的多數民族馬來人野蠻地攻擊印尼華人少數民族，這家新聞機構都把眼光盯在經濟上，並稱種族主義者的仇恨跟經濟有關。
　　　　
　　　　 Have you heard any single news story that portrayed the Indonesian Malay as racists for their attack on Chinese owned businesses？ Have you wonder why the Indonesian Malay only attacked the Chinese shops， and not the Malay，American， British， or Arabian businesses？
　　　　
　　　　 您曾經聽到過任何一條新聞，描繪印尼馬來人作為種族主義者攻擊華人屬下企業嗎？您不奇怪印尼的馬來人為何只攻擊華人店鋪，而不攻擊馬來人的、美裔印尼人的、英裔印尼人的、或者阿拉伯裔印尼人的呢？
　　　　
　　　　 Are ALL Indonesian Chinese FILTHY─RICH？ Of the Indonesian Chinese， only 5% can be classified as wealthy‧ The rest ─NINETY─FIVE PERCENT （95%） ─ of them are either in the medium or lower─income strata of the Indonesian economy‧ Today， many Indonesian ethnic Chinese are still living in wooden shacks because they can NOT afford brick houses‧ Many of the poor Indonesian Chinese worked very hard but they still find it extremely difficult to make enough money to feed and house their family‧ Most of the really wealthy Indonesian Chinese already LEFT Indonesia‧ Those stayed behind in Indonesia are the poor Chinese who don’t have the economic means to escape‧ And they are those whose businesses are being LOOTED， whose merchandizes are being PLUNDERED， whose buildings are being TORCHED， whose women are being RAPED， and whose children are being BRUTALLY SLAUGHTERED‧
　　　　
　　　　所有的印尼華人都是不正當致富的嗎？在印尼華人中，僅有5%能被歸入富人階級。其餘的95%是中產階級或低收入者。今天，許多印尼華人仍然生活在木製的房子裏，因為他們買不起磚瓦房！許多貧窮的印尼華人艱辛工作，但仍然極其困難，缺乏足夠的錢解決家人的溫飽。大多數真正富有的印尼華人已經離開印尼。那些留在印尼的都是貧窮的華人，沒有經濟能力離開這個地方。他們的財務被掠奪；他們的貨品被霸佔；他們的房子被付之一炬；他們的女人被強暴；他們的孩子被沒有人性的屠殺！
　　　　
　　　　 They are the ones made homeless by the Pribumis savagery attacks， they are made even poorer for having their small business totally destroyed by the rioters‧ The shops that were destroyed were mostly mom─and─pop type of small business‧ With their shops burnt to the ground， those already poor Chinese gotten even POORER‧ They lost not only their businesses， they lost their home， and they lost many of their family members who were killed by the Indonesian Malay rioters‧
　　　　
　　　　 他們因為Pribumis的野蠻攻擊而無家可歸。他們因為連小本生意都盪然無存而更加貧窮。那些被毀壞的商店絕大多數都是小型的夫妻店。他們不僅失去了生存的依靠，失去了家園，更失去了通姦尼馬來暴亂者奪去了生命的親人。
　　　　
　　　　 How many of the news reports you have read regarding the Indonesian riots mentioned all these facts？ What is the percentage of those news reports even talked about the Chinese who were BRUTALLY BUTCHERED by the rioters？
　　　　
　　　　 有多少新聞報導提到上面的這些事實？有多少新聞報導談及被暴亂者殘無人道地屠殺的華人？
　　　　
　　　　 Think back for a minute， of the many of the news reports you have read about Indonesia， can you think of one which mentioned the number of Chinese killed in by the Malay rioters？ How many of those news reports focused on the plight of the Indonesian ethnic Chinese minority？
　　　　
　　　　 停下來想一想，在您看到的新聞報導中，您能記得有哪一家提到在暴亂中喪生的華人人數嗎？有多少家新聞報導把鏡頭對準印尼華裔少數民族的生存狀況？
　　　　
　　　　 Did the News Media ever tell us how many Chinese were hurt？
　　　　
　　　　 媒體告訴我們有多少華人受到傷害了嗎？
　　　　
　　　　 Did they tell us how many Chinese women were RAPED？
　　　　
　　　　 媒體告訴我們有多少華人婦女遭到強暴嗎？
　　　　
　　　　 Did they tell us how many Chinese were SLAUGHTERED？
　　　　
　　　　 媒體告訴我們有多少華人被殺戮嗎？
　　　　
　　　　 Did they described to us what type of HORRIBLE DEATHS the Chinese had suffered by the hands of the BRUTAL HANDS of the Malay rioter媒體向我們描繪過華人遭到馬來暴亂分子的殘酷折磨後的恐怖死相嗎？
　　　　
　　　　 Do you know the story of the innocent THREE─YEAR─OLD Chinese GIRL who was BRUTALLY BUTCHERED by the Indonesian Malay rioters when they broke into her parents house， in Tanjong Pinang， of Indonesia？ The rioters first broke into her parents’ house‧ They KILLED her grandmother‧ Then the rioters RAPED and BUTCHERED her mother Finally they MURDERED this INNOCENT 3 year─old Chinese GIRL， by smashed open her skull， with a metal pipe‧您知道一個無辜的三歲女孩的故事嗎？她是在暴亂者闖入Tanjong檳榔她的父母的房間時被殘無人道地殺害的。他們殺了她的祖母，強暴並殺害了她的母親。最後這些殺人犯用一根金屬管打開了她的頭蓋骨。
　　　　
　　　　 Has CNN reported this news？
　　　　
　　　　 CNN報導過這條新聞嗎？
　　　　
　　　　 Has BBC covered this event？
　　　　
　　　　 BBC揭露過這個事件嗎？
　　　　
　　　　 Has AP， UPI， or Reuters distributed this story？
　　　　
　　　　 AP、UPI或者路透社發佈過這條新聞嗎？
　　　　
　　　　 Wonder why none of the Wold Press is interested in reporting the horrible death of an INNOCENT 3─year─old GIRL？ Was it because the little girl is om the Indonesia ethnic Chinese minority background？ Was it because her family is definitely NOT rich， which may jeopardized the “Indonesian Chinese FILTHY─RICH“ image painted by so many journalists reporting om Indonesia， for the World Media？
　　　　
　　　　 您很奇怪印尼的國際新聞為什麼不報導一個無辜的三歲女孩的恐怖死狀？是因為她的印尼華裔背景嗎？還是因為她的家庭並不富有，危害到眾多新聞機構渲染的所謂“印尼華人 不正當富人“的說法？
　　　　
　　　　 Was it because she was a innocently sweet little girl，unlike the “Indonesian Chinese COLD─HEARTED， EVIL BUSNESSMEN“ image so many journalists would have us believed？
　　　　
　　　　 是因為她是一個無辜的可愛的小女孩，跟眾多新聞媒體灌輸給我們的“印尼華人 冷血邪惡的商人“形象不符？
　　　　
　　　　 Was it because her INNOCENCE may proved to us that Indonesian Chinese are flesh─and─blood human beings， much like the rest of the humanities，which again， may smash the “Indonesian Chinese nON─HUMAN“ image many members of the World Press would like to plant deep into our minds？
　　　　
　　　　 是因為她的無辜可以向我們證明，印尼華人是有血有肉的人，跟其他人一樣的人，而這會把國際新聞中的很多人想印在我們腦子中的“印尼華人不是人“的標記撕個粉碎？
　　　　
　　　　 what motivated the International Press members to engage in such a world─wide scale of DIS─INFORMATION campaign？
　　　　
　　　　 Why are so many journalists trying to make the Indonesian ethnic Chinese minority into a “FILTHY─RICH，“ “COLD─ HEARTED，“ and “EVIL“ people， and In the meantime they try to portray the Indonesian pribumi （Malay） rioters， who would NOT even spare the life of an INNOCENT 3─year─old LITTLE GIRL， as “MILD─MANNERED“？
　　　　
　　　　是什麼促使國際出版社（International Press）的人忙於散布這樣一個世界性的謊言？為什麼如此多的新聞記者力圖把印尼華人推進“不正當富人“、“冷血動物“、“邪惡者“之類的群體？而與此同時又把印尼的Pribumi（馬來人）暴亂者，那些甚至連一個三歲的無辜女孩的生命都不放過的人，描繪成“溫和的守規矩人“？
　　　　
　　　　 The Indonesian Chinese are the VICTIMS， the Indonesian Pribumis are the PETRATORS‧ But yet， every time a news story of Chinese houses being burned， the same news story also told us how WEALTHY those Chinese are‧ Did you ever read a news report which scrutinized the wealth of the victims who just had their house burned to the ground？
　　　　
　　　　 Every time there is a mention about Chinese business being looted， there is also a mention of how much ECONOMIC POWER those Chinese have‧
　　　　
　　　　 每一次報導關於某個華人的房子被燒毀的新聞，同樣的新聞就會告訴我們那些華人有多麼富有。您什麼時候看到過新聞報導真得仔細調查過被燒了房子的華人的財產嗎？
　　　　
　　　　 How many time have you ever read a news report which linked the economic status of a mug victim， to the crime （of mugging） itself？ just how credible are the news reports om Indonesia？ How ludicrous the journalists want to be？
　　　　
　　　　 How much DIS─INFORMATION they are allowed to pump out before they are called to task to answer for all the GARBAGES they have written？ Are the Indonesian ethnic Chinese minorities strong allies of Suharto？
　　　　
　　　　 印尼的新聞報導有多少是可靠的？您能想像新聞機構製造的荒謬可笑能到什麼程度嗎？印尼的少數民族華人真得是蘇哈托強大的同盟軍嗎？
　　　　
　　　　 The Indonesian ethnic Chinese minorities had been victimized under the Suharto─led Pribumi government……
　　　　
　　　　 Although they are ethnic Chinese， they are NOT allowed to have a Chinese name‧ The Suharto─led Pribumi regime dictated that NO Chinese in Indonesia can have Chinese name‧ ALL Chinese in Indonesia MUST have Indonesian name， or they will not be granted an Indonesian citizenship‧
　　　　
　　　　 在蘇哈托專制統治下，印尼華人已經備受摧殘。儘管他們是華裔，但他們不能起中國名字。所有的印尼華人必須用印尼名字，否則沒有印尼公民身份。
　　　　
　　　　 This law only applies to the ethnic Chinese‧A person with Italian ancestry applying for an Indonesian citizenship is allowed to keep his Italian name‧
　　　　
　　　　 這條法律只對華人使用。一個祖先是意大利人的印尼人可以保留他的意大利名字而同時得到印尼公民身份。
　　　　
　　　　 A person born in Indonesia by a Mexican parentage is allowed to carry a Mexican name on his Indonesian citizenship form‧ A Russian is allowed to keep his Russian name as well‧ ONLY the Chinese are prohibited om having a Chinese name‧ The law specifically discriminates against the ethnic Chinese‧ Indonesian Chinese are NOT allowed to learn the Chinese language‧
　　　　
　　　　 一個在印尼出生的墨西哥血統的人同樣也可以墨西哥名字獲得印尼國籍。俄羅斯血統的人也可以取俄羅斯名字。而唯獨華人，不能取中文名字。法律還特別地歧視印尼華人，不準他們學習漢語。
　　　　
　　　　 In Indonesia， a couple of om Nigeria can teach their children the Nigerian language‧ Anyone interested in learning French can enrolled into French courses offered in several Indonesian colleges and universities‧ But if a Chinese is caught learning the Chinese language in Indonesia， 「s」he may be thrown into jail for breaking the anti─Chinese law‧
　　　　
　　　　 在印尼，來自尼日利亞的夫婦可以教他們的孩子尼日利亞語。
　　　　
　　　　 任何對法語感興趣的人可以加入幾所印尼大學和法語班。但如果華人在印尼學習漢語，他（她）們將因破壞反中文法（anti─Chinese law）被抓進監獄。
　　　　
　　　　 A person caught TEACHING Chinese language in Indonesia may face the DEATH penalty if he is charged under the “subversive“ act‧ In Indonesia， ONLY the Chinese─language is forbidden‧ Indonesian Chinese are not allowed to celebrate the Chinese New year‧
　　　　
　　　　 一個人在印尼教漢語被抓住可能被判死罪，如果他被控犯有“顛覆破壞“罪。在印尼，只有漢語是被禁止的。印尼華人不能慶祝中國的春節！
　　　　
　　　　 In Indonesia， Muslim’s holy days such as Ramadan are celebrated‧ In Indonesia， Christian’s holy days like Christmas and Easter are celebrated‧ But in Indonesia， the Indonesian Chinese are prohibited om celebrating their Chinese New Year‧ In Indonesia， the Chinese are not allowed to work for the government‧
　　　　
　　　　 在印尼，*****的聖日，諸如Ramadan是可以慶祝的。基督教的聖日，譬如聖誕節和復活節都是可以慶祝的。但印尼的華人不能慶祝中國的新年。在印尼，華人沒有權利在政府部門工作。
　　　　
　　　　 Persons om Brazilian or German heritage are not barred om working in the Indonesian government‧ But a ethnic Chinese who was born in Indonesia is not allowed to work in ANY Indonesian government department‧
　　　　
　　　　 來自巴西或德國的印尼人不會被剝奪在政府部分工作的權利。
　　　　
　　　　 但華人不得在任何印尼政府機構供職。
　　　　
　　　　 In Indonesia， the Chinese are discriminated‧The ethnic Chinese are not permitted to have permanent land title‧ The same restriction does NOT apply to Caucasian om the United States， however‧
　　　　
　　　　 在印尼，華人是受歧視的。印尼華人不能得到永久的土地權（permanent land title）。而同樣的限制對來自美國的高加索人則無效。
　　　　
　　　　 The ethnic Chinese are prohibited om obtaining governmental scholarships‧ No such restriction for people of ANY OTHER ethnic background‧ The Indonesian ethnic Chinese minority is the ONLY group of people in Indonesia who are officially PERSECUTED by the Suharto─led regime‧
　　　　
　　　　 印尼華人按規定不能獲得政府的獎金。這項禁令對任何其他種族背景的人都不適用。印尼華人少數民族在印尼是唯一的被蘇哈托時代政府迫害的社會群體。
　　　　
　　　　 A coup led by Suharto， back in the 1960’s， resulted in a total defeat of PKI （Parti Komunis Indonesia， or the Indonesian Communist Party）。 Suharto and his army cracked down on members of the PKI， and more than 2 MILLION people died during the purging process‧
　　　　
　　　　 60年代蘇哈托發起的政變使得PKI（Parti Komunis Indonesia或印尼共產黨）徹底失敗。蘇哈托和他的軍隊鎮壓了PKI成員。
　　　　
　　　　 在清洗時期，有200萬人失去了生命。
　　　　
　　　　 Among the dead were more than 300，000 （some estimates ran up to more than 500，000） INNOCENT ethnic Chinese who had nothing to do with neither Suharto， nor PKI， were MURDERED‧
　　　　
　　　　 死者中超過30萬（也有人估計是高於50萬）是無辜的印尼華人。他們既不是PKI分子，也不是蘇哈托的追隨者。
　　　　
　　　　 How possible do you think a group of victims will strongly supported the person 「or regime」 who stripped them the right to practice their own culture？
　　　　
　　　　 您認為在多大程度上，印尼華人會支持一個殺害他們同胞，踐踏他們的民族文化的獨裁者呢？
　　　　
　　　　 Mild─mannered people don’t loot， plunder， rape or kill people， no matter how economically─challenged they are‧ The Indonesian Pribumis who looted， plundered， raped and killed the chinese are definitely NOT mild─mannered‧
　　　　
　　　　 溫和的守規矩人不會搶劫，強暴，殺害他人，不管那些人在經濟上多麼有挑戰性。而溫和的守規矩的印尼的馬來人所幹的正是殺人，強姦、擄掠之類的勾當。
　　　　
　　　　 The Indonesia Malay attacked the Chinese not for the money，the attacked the Chinese because they 「Pribumis」 are RACISTS‧ The attacks are blatantly RACIALLY─MOTIVATED attacks‧
　　　　
　　　　 印尼馬來人攻擊華人不是為了錢。他們是純粹的種族主義者！
　　　　
　　　　 野蠻的種族主義者。
　　　　
　　　　 Why is the World Press keep avoiding to report the TRUTH？
　　　　
　　　　 為什麼國際新聞不報導真相？
　　　　
　　　　 Why are the journalists trying so hard to hide all those RACIST ATTACKS under the economic banner？
　　　　
　　　　 為什麼記者們把種族主義的暴行掩蓋在經濟面紗之下？
　　　　
　　　　 What objective「s」 the World Media like to achieve by misguiding us， their audiences？
　　　　
　　　　 國際新聞誤導我們的動機是什麼？
　　　　
　　　　 What are the possible reason「s」 beneath this massive DIS─INFORMATION campaign？
　　　　
　　　　 在這種誤導的下面隱藏著什麼可能的原因呢？
　　　　
　　　　 We want the world to witness the TRUE PLIGHT of the Indonesian Chinese我們希望全世界成為印尼華人的真實狀況的見證人！
　　　　
　　　　 We want to spread this TRUTH to the world‧ Please help us‧我們希望真相能傳遍四方，請幫助我們！
　　　　
　　　　 We do not ask for money， we don’t ask for pity‧ What we ask， and hope you will do， is to HELP us‧我們不需要錢，不需要憐憫。我們需要“幫助“！
　　　　
　　　　 Help us by distributing this message， to everyone you know‧ We need to spread the TRUTH to as many people as we possibly can， we need to tell the world that the Indonesian Huaren are not the evil people the mass media would like you to believe‧
　　　　
　　　　 幫助我們傳播真相，讓每個人知道。告訴全世界，印尼華人不是邪惡分子！
　　　　
　　　　 We also need your help to contact people in political offices‧ We urgently need outside pressures stop the save the lives of innocent ethnic Chinese in Indonesia‧ With only less than 4% of the total population， the ethnic Chinese in Indonesia can’t possibly withstand the unrelenting onslaughts by the Indonesian Malay‧我們還需要您的幫助，跟政治力量取得聯繫。我們急迫地需要外界壓力來保護印尼華人無辜的生命。在印尼僅佔4%的人口沒有能力保護自己抵擋住印尼馬來人的殺戮。
　　　　
　　　　 In Rwanda， the Hutus massacred 500，000 Tutsis‧ In Indonesia， if the world do not step in， over 7 MILLION people may be butchered‧ This is the time we need as much outside pressure as we possibly can gather‧ We need the world’s response to STOP the Indonesian Malays om committing even more heinous murders‧在盧旺達，Hutus人屠殺了50萬Tutsis人。在印尼，如果國際社會不介入，700多萬人將可能喪生！我們需要全世界的響應來制止印尼馬來人的暴行。
　　　　
　　　　 Please call or fax this message to your local council persons， the mayor of your city， your state’s representative， national representative，parliamentarians or congressmen/women，ask them to voice their support PUBLICLY for the Indonesian Chinese， and ask them to put pressure on the Indonesian government in preventing more bloodshed om occurring‧
　　　　
　　　　 請把上面的消息打電話或傳真給當地政府，您所在城市的市長、議員、國會議員、參議員等等，請求他們公開支持印尼華人，對印尼政府施加壓力，阻止更多的流血事件發生。
　　　　
　　　　 Our heartfelt thanks to each and everyone of you for your help‧
　　　　
　　　　 我們衷心感謝每一個給予幫助的人。
