Yes, the 1998 incident ( Chinese were a scapegoat). They targeted the Chinese to create a riot, and then the military has a reason to start a civil war against the government. A power struggle was in place that time.
in the 1960s, the anti communist rhetoric, Chinese were affected badly, china send 3 ships to pick up the local Chinese back to china. After that, many who did not make it stayed back in Medan. That's why Medan has a huge Chinese population.
