In your opinion, what could have prevented the Maria Hertogh riots in 1950? Give at least 2 suggestions.
Firstly, the judge should not put Maria in a convent as she already had a religion. This is disrespectful to her religion and thus many Malay protest it and started the riot.
Secondly, the judge should have given a fair judgment to the Dutch and the Malays respectively and if not, should have given a explaination why he made that judgment or else the Malays thought that he was in favour with Dutch.
Lastly, they should not allow those reporters to enter the convent to take some photos as it is like insult to her religions.
So if the judge analyse the problems and given a fair judgment, the riot could have been prevented.
