- 8 years ago
Facts : 1 Discrimination Overseas Chinese have often experienced hostility and discrimination
Facts : 2 In countries with small Chinese minorities, the economic disparity can be remarkable
Facts : 3 For example, in 1998, ethnic Chinese made up just 1 %%% of the population of the Philippines and 4 %%% of the population in Indonesia, but have wide influence in Philippines and Indonesian private economy
Facts : 4 The book World on Fire, describing the Chinese as a market-dominant minority , notes that Chinese market dominance and intense resentment amongst the indigenous majority is characteristic of virtually every country in Southeast Asia except Thailand and Singapore
Facts : 5 (Chinese market dominance is present in Thailand, which is noted for its lack of resentment, and Singapore is majority ethnic Chinese.) This asymmetrical economic position has incited anti-Chinese sentiment among the poorer majorities
Facts : 6 Sometimes the anti-Chinese attitudes turn violent, such as the May 13 Incident in Malaysia in 1969 and the Jakarta riots of May 1998 in Indonesia, in which more than 2,000 people died, mostly rioters burned to death in a shopping mall
Facts : 7 It is commonly held that a major point of friction is the apparent tendency of overseas Chinese to segregate themselves into a subculture
Facts : 8 For example, the anti-Chinese Kuala Lumpur Racial Riots of 13 May 1969 and Jakarta Riots of May 1998 were believed to have been motivated by these racially-biased perceptions
Facts : 9 This analysis has been questioned by some historians, most notably Dr Kua Kia Soong, the principal of New Era College, who has put forward the controversial argument that the May 13 Incident was a pre-meditated attempt by sections of the ruling Malay elite to incite racial hostility in preparation for a coup

Facts : 11 The question of to what extent ethnic Malays, Chinese, or others are native to Malaysia is a sensitive political one
