Question: In your opinion, what could have prevented the Maria Hertogh riots in 1950? Give at least two suggestions.
In my opinion, I suggest that the Maria Hertogh case should be as enclosed as possible. They should not have revealed it to the public and when the verdicts are given out, it should take actions as fast as possible so that the public will not get to know the case since it is also a family issue.
And when the case is already opened to the public, they should have been prepared that people are unhappy with the decision and sent the police force to control places even before the public came to start the riot. This can prevent the riot to start.
Part of the reasons the riot started was also because Maria was sent to a catholic convent, not a muslim's. The British should have spared a thought and asked Maria which convent she wants to go to. If she made the choice of going to the catholic convent, the public do not have the rights to start a riot because of this. And even if a riot started off, it wouldn't have been worst than that which have happened.
Meanwhile, the judges did not consider who Maria wants to follow. They should take it into consideration that Maria is already a teenage. Although she does not seems to have rights to make consideration, I believe she knows who was best for her.
Thus, I feel that Maria Hertogh's riot can be prevented in a lot of ways.

yes i agree with you.
but she was underaged, even if she had voiced out her opinions, do you think that the judge would consider them?
HUMAN RIGHTS!
How is the riot able to not be worst than it have happen? Example are what?
i think the judge is not fair
i agree with hui qing. she is still young, and i dont think she is able to make such a big decision by herself =)
i think that although maria is underage, but she can still make her own decision as she knows and she can persue the life that she wants.
shichin: everything that i have posted are my examples.
diana: but she have lived with che aminah since young and she was unfamiliar with her real parents. she should know who is best for her. the judge should take in SOME consideration of her decision.
ailing: haha. thanks for answersing for me. :D
