“…Some Chinese Indonesians hesitate to reveal their ethnic identity due to fears of stigmatization and discrimination, and thus it might be hard to obtain their demographic information [10]. However, a comprehensive study from 2016 revealed that there are around 1.2% of Chinese Indonesians residing in the country, contrary to other sources that mention in the 3%-3.3% range [11][12][13][14][15][16]. See also [17][18][19][20][21][22] for a well-rounded perspective on Chinese Indonesians.…”

Pranata mangsa is a local knowledge based on a calendrical system utilized historically by Javanese peasant farmers in conducting their agricultural activities in cultivating plants and vegetation. It is also used by fishermen to guide them not only in capturing fish and other aquatic animals but also in predicting the type of seafood they might gather. Although the Javanese possess and maintain their own calendrical system based on a combination of solar and lunar calendars, pranata mangsa is solely based on the solar calendar and passed on from one generation to the next verbally. Literature has confirmed that by combining this local knowledge and scientific data, the Javanese community has a better resilience in adapting to extreme hydrological events due to global warming and climate change. In this comment, we provide remarks on ethnic groups and the four sample cities in Java where the latter were selected for the pranata mangsa study.

“…Accordingly, we respond to this gap by researching Chinese Indonesians, an ethnic minority group in Indonesia that encompasses around 3% of the national population or approximately equal to seven million people (Arifin et al, 2017;Mackie, 2005;Rakhmat, 2021). Additionally, Indonesia has the most Chinese of all the countries in the world (more than eight million), which represents around 17% of all overseas Chinese (Poston & Zhang, 2021).…”

Background: This study aimed to identify the prevalence and associated factors for self-harm and suicide ideation among Chinese Indonesians during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A non-random sampling was performed through a nationwide online survey in Indonesia (May-June 2021). The online survey covered participants’ demographic information, suicide literacy, suicide stigma, loneliness, and self-harm and suicide ideation. A series of t-tests, Chi-squares, and hierarchical logistic regressions with the backward-stepwise method were used to identify the factors associated with self-harm and suicide ideation. Responses from a total of 484 Chinese Indonesians were analyzed in this study.Results: The prevalence of self-harm and suicide ideation in the two weeks preceding the survey among Chinese Indonesian people was 35.5%. The predictive model showed a significant goodness-of-fit to the observed data (x2[17]=174.1, p<.001; RN2=.41). Chinese Indonesians with an average monthly income of ≥USD 843 were found to be 0.23 (95% CI=0.07-0.99) times less likely to experience self-harm and suicide ideation than those who did not have an income. A one-point increase in the intensity of suicide glorification and loneliness were associated with 3.06 and 3.67 increase in the chance of experiencing self-harm and suicide ideation, respectively. Conclusion: One-third of Chinese Indonesians self-reported self-harm and suicide ideation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mental health and suicide prevention intervention programs are recommended to target those with low-socioeconomic status, high glorification towards suicide, and high perceived loneliness.

Chinese descendants in Indonesia, known as Tionghoa, have suffered from discrimination since the New Order regime, ranging from policy to identity status. The discrimination reached its peak in May 1998 as the riots blew up against Chinese descendants. The riots have been a footage of dark history that destroyed the identity of Chinese descendants in Indonesia leads and this leads to transformation in the social life of the Chinese descendants in Indonesia up to present, in particular in their identity. This research discusses the transformation of identity among Chinese descendants in Indonesia drawing on the case of Chinese descendants in Lasem. This research applies qualitative method with a case study approach. This research finds that the Chinese descendants in Lasem attempts to construct their new identity through culture hybridization and mimicry that is mingled with the identity of the local community. Through this process, they successfully create a new identity as Chinese-Javanese or wong Lasem that leads them to experience a survival and harmonious life with the local. Since the reforms, this new identity fosters the strong and harmonious interaction between the Javanese and Chinese in Lasem that slowly blurs the identity of the two ethnics.
