Tangentially related, this reminded me of a documentary film on mass killings in Indonesia titled "The Act of Killing": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Act_of_Killing. It is an excellent film.

Basically it comprises interviews of gangsters who were recruited by the government to conduct mass executions of undesirable people, and the subjects describe some reasons for which the work was tasked to organized crime rather than to official government employees.

Numbers on the purge victims indicate that Indonesian Chinese weren't a main target, but like happened in Malaya what started as "get rid of the Communists", could easily be turned into "And all the Chinese are Commies, right?" - they also often happened to be successful businesspeople, so bonus if you owed them money.
