Indonesia's President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has ordered police to crack down on mobile phone users sending racist text messages.The text messages, which have been widely reported in the local media without divulging their exact wording, blame minority ethnic Chinese for Indonesia's current economic woes and calls for attacks on them.
A presidential spokesman say such slanderous, hate-filled SMS messages cannot be tolerated. The Chinese community has had a troubled history in Indonesia and been the target of bouts of violence.
