Indonesia: Chinese Language and Visitors
Is it still true that printed matter in Chinese can not be brought
into Indonesia? And would ethnically Chinese visitors have any problem there? |

Last time was 2 yrs ago Specifically I was in Bali. I have 2 Chinese friends that were born there. While in Bali, I did not have any real problems. At the immigration office at the Bali airport, my friend and I were both asked for a "tip" while he was looking at our passorts. My friend did give him some money, (because he was born there), he was still a little intimidated by authoritative figures. I ignored him and after a few minutes, he gave up and stamped my passport. I found the merchants will assume you are Korean, or Japanese in order not to make you feel uncomfortable. My friends did go to Jarkarta to visit and did not have any problems. |

Indonesia: Chinese Language and Visitors
Hi,
last time I have been in Indonesia was 15 months before. In the customer's form was still written, that it is forbiddden to bring books or papers with Chinese letters to Indonesia. Usually there is no control, but offically I suppose, it is still against the law. I lived in Indonesia from 1995-1999. If I asked in the first years the Malayan Indonesians, about problems with Chines people, they said : "absolutly not, we are all Indonesians". But I got some hints, that they hate them. But in the riots in the economical crisis 1998 you could see, and hear that the Malayian majority still hate the Chinese. But at the moment, and if you are just a tourist, you usually will not have any problems.

Bali, while part of Indonesia, is not exactly like the main islands. What goes on in Bali cannot be applied to other parts of Indonesia. |
