In 1967 you find references to the disruptions in the aftermath of Sukarno's passing. Stanley Ann got married to the Indonesian student in 1967. Wiki notes that he went to work for Mobile Oil.

Condoleeza Rice had her name on a Chevron tanker for awhile. Chevron is heavy into Canadian tar sands oil and is a major competitor of Mobile. (That's just a side note).

So, Mobile Oil was a major supplier of the money for Obama's education ~ and he's going to do what about their taxes?

In response to the expulsion of mixed-race people I was aware, through friends, of continuation of the practice during the early Suharto years ~ thinking of our office secretary in fact (back in the early 1970s) ~ she'd made the mistake of being a Chinese Christian.

More recently the Indonesian government has forced Chinese to adopt Malay names even if they are not Moslem.

Lolo should have been able to remain in the country because he was married to an American citizen and they all would have been "targeted' by punitive government policies if they went to Lolo's home country.

Within that context, Lolo's expulsion just doesn't make sense. Couldn't he have qualified for some kind of asylum considering his wife and stepson were American citizens...?

What am I missing....?
