Kong Miao Confucian Temple in Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, Jakarta. #107819408
Description
As part of the post-1965 crackdown on Chinese in Indonesia, displays of Chinese religiosity were prohibited. This included a ban on public celebrations of Chinese New Year (Imlek) and confucian was not recognized as a religion. But the President Abdurrahman Wahid lifted the ban in 2000. In 2006, Confucianism was again officially recognised as a religion in a Ministry of Religion circular which stated that there were six official religions in Indonesia, including Confucianism. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono told 5000 Indonesian Confucians celebrating Chinese New Year in Jakarta on 4 February last year that discrimination on matters of citizenship, nationality, religious rituals and marriage should cease. In 2010 Kong Miao confusian temple was built in Taman Mini Indonesia Indah along with other religion's buildings.
