印尼华人的一封求救信由一位朋友那里传来。doubtfire现草译为中文，供大家参考

To: All honorable members of the society

致全社会正直的有良知的公民们

Dear Sir, and/or Mdm,

亲爱的先生/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.

如果您最近几天收看电视，看报纸，听广播，您可能已经听说了印尼发生的暴乱。新闻媒体传播的消息是，印尼的Pribumis（马来人）正在反抗苏哈托的专制。贫苦的马来人在苏的独裁统治下受难多年，现在是他们来改变这种状况的时候了。

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.

印尼的马来人占总人口的80%。他们中的大多数是穆斯林。印尼华人是当地少数民族，大多信仰佛教或基督教。新闻媒体把印尼的马来人描绘为诚实、正派、爱好和平的人，他们制造暴乱是因为他们饥饿、贫穷，他们是苏哈托和不正当地富有的印尼华裔的牺牲品。

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?

谁是苏哈托？是印尼的马来人？是印尼的华人？是穆斯林？是基督徒还是佛教徒？您对几乎所有的报道都把对印尼华人的残暴行为跟华人与马来人的贫富悬殊联系起来不感到奇怪吗？

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."

这类似乎非常客观的经济附加报道通常是以这样的面目出现的：“印尼华人少数民族仅占印尼总人口数量的4%不到，但他们却控制着超过（70%、75%、80%、85%、90%，任由选择）的经济财富。”

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 from the MAJORITY RACE

against people of the MINORITY RACE?

您没有发现媒体的报道很奇怪吗？无论什么时候他们报道印尼多数民族反对少数民族的种族主义暴乱，上面这样的“客观”经济报道总是附在后面！

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?

占总人口4%的印尼华人有可能控制90%以上的经济吗？据报道苏哈托和他的家族累积财富达400亿美元。苏哈托算在4%的人口里面吗？苏哈托跟他的家人是华人吗？

Is the World Press reporting from Indonesia consistent with their reporting from elsewhere around the world? Here are several recent world events, as reported to us by the same International Media:

印尼的国际新闻（World Press）跟他们在世界其他地方的报道一致吗？下面是最近的几起国际性事件，由同一家国际媒体向我们报道。

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.

在卢旺达，多数民族Hutus屠杀少数民族Tutsis，国际新闻报道，这是基于种族主义的悲剧。没有提到任何经济差异。在波西尼亚，多数民族塞族（Serbs）和/或克族（Croats）袭击波

西尼亚的穆斯林，这家媒体告诉我们，这是基于宗教的杀戮。

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）的阿尔巴尼亚人和塞族人之间的冲突，被报道为基于种族主义的争端。但为什么，不论什么时候印尼的多数民族马来人野蛮地攻击印尼华人少数民族，这家新闻机构都把眼光盯在经济上，并称种族主义者的仇恨跟经济有关。

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?

您曾经听到过任何一条新闻，描绘印尼马来人作为种族主义者攻击华人属下企业吗？您不奇怪印尼的马来人为何只攻击华人店铺，而不攻击马来人的、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.

所有的印尼华人都是不正当致富的吗？在印尼华人中，仅有5%能被归入富人阶级。其余的95%是中产阶级或低收入者。今天，许多印尼华人仍然生活在木制的房子里，因为他们买不起砖瓦房！许多贫穷的印尼华人艰辛工作，但仍然极其困难，缺乏足够的钱解决家人的温饱。大多数真正富有的印尼华人已经离开印尼。那些留在印尼的都是贫穷的华人，没有经济能力离开这个地方。他们的财务被掠夺；他们的货品被霸占；他们的房子被付之一炬；他们的女人被强暴；他们的孩子被没有人性的屠杀！
