No Chinese get burned alive at 1998, there are around 100 native Indonesian that are burned alive at that time. We saved many Conglomerates at 1998-2004 using our government money. If we want, all big businesses are already at government hands until Today. We bailed out many big conglomerate by printing money, and all Indonesian has to pay it by having huge inflation. Doing business is difficult for pious Muslim particularly because we need to bribe some one to get the project. And it is still happening until Today, my brother doing business at telecommunication sector, so I know it is still happening.
Despite that fact many native have huge business as well, like in media or oil and gas sector which is mostly owned by native entrepreneur. In majority their business are in small and medium size one, but overall small and medium size are the backbone of our economy and the one who save us during 1998 crisis. Big conglomerate at old time grow their business by borrowing from abroad, similar like Today.
