This situation has occurred because of the continuity of colonial structure under the new order. In some cases, the anti-Chinese riots is so often to be linked with the political violence by the moslem anger who have experienced political economy deprivation and marginalized by the new order's economic policy.

So, eventually when the economic crisis happened in 1997-1998, the anti-Chinese violence inevitably occurred, partly caused by such complicated issues.
