Conflict from mining activities on Bangka Island off North Sulawesi, entered a new chapter after a local resort manager voiced concern over an incident involving its clients and mining staff last Saturday.

Four foreign tourists, from the U.S., the Netherlands, Sweden and Germany, were diving off the coast of the island when officers and workers of PT Mikgro Metal Perdana (MMP) allegedly forced them to the surface. In addition, the officers and workers have confiscated all of their diving certifications

And on the eighth we bulldozed it.
Need to find a way to make them realize that mining the tourist would pay way better and make everybody happy.
