JUST LEAVE IT ALONE

I feel surprised at the originator of this vehicle is also a person who feels at home traveling using this car. This car only uses a thick cloth that prevents from the scorching sun and rain, the wind as a natural coolant even though it feels very hot because it has to be stuck with other passengers and the goods they carry.
at first I was still safe until either we were only a quarter of the way or as little as I could not stand it anymore. I felt I could not stand until a little shift to get more air, so I could get more air, really TNI cars are no fancy at all.
kingkong was in the corner with Pak Aris it turns out they were telling me about the experience of Pak Aris during the tragedy of 1997. I was forced to sit beside the kingkong and inevitably hear the story as well.
on the sidelines of the void when the gadget is not yet powerful so great he was able to lure Kak Aris to tell the time he had passed first. armed with snacks, armed with snacks, coffee and fun story friends are also good at getting back to us in times not as calm as today.
the car continued to go, the story of the adult man was still heard by me and some people seriously listened. Kingkong was indeed a reliable listener and debater until the entire trip did not feel boring for him.
Kak Aris said that when entering 1997, the economic gap was increasingly felt. kak Aris, who was preparing to go to Yogyakarta, had to be delayed when he remembered that the 1997 economic crisis in Makassar and all of Indonesia was not bad.
Feelings of sentiment towards foreigners and ethnic Chinese began to appear and spread so quickly and make the people of Makassar flocked to unite.
As a result, the Chinatown area ranging from Jalan Sulawesi to Jalan Dotu Museng and surrounding areas were targeted by the masses at that time.
After further investigation, one of the triggers of the riot was the killing of a child after teaching.
The murder was allegedly carried out by a Chinese citizen named Benny. What makes students angry is that the victim is the son of a lecturer.
"the murder was so horrendous in the news, the parents of the victims were even invited to appeal to the public to temper their anger because the parents of the victims had accepted the death of their children at that time"
we the listeners were solemnly heard and without being asked Kak aris again said "don't say nyerah Chinese like that, they are also smart dong, he said, they set up a strategy by displaying a prayer mat in front of his house indicating that the pro-Muslim" he said while sipping his warm coffee.
after a while Ari again said "in Makassar there was actually also a rape against ethnic Chinese but not fully investigated at that time"
it felt like the images of rebellion and looting were now clearly drawn in the shadow of my brain, really it made me think so scary at that time.
the story did not end there because once again Kak Aris made us retreat to the previous year, Kak aris said
"anyways makasar riot, all the news covering the same case because not only in Makassar, in other places was also almost similar" he said.
"i still remember very well the incident on April 24, 1996 which is famous by the name of April Makassar Berdarah (AMARAH ). At that time, I was still in the 3rd grade of High School (SMA)"
"The bloody April was a clash between UMI students who were protesting to close the road with the police. Leaving three fatalities, this became a strong protest before the incident in Medan and Jakarta to ask Suharto to resign"
"yes history records Suharto stepping down from his position at that time" said kingkong chimed after listening
"yes it is, and that's one of the reasons suharto stepped down from his position as president during his tenure from 12 March 1967 to 21 May 1998" he said
