Abstract

This qualitative field research is of 3 objectives: 1) to study of Du Song Yor, histological conflict and contested history 2) to analyze the perception problems of feeling and Psycho-trauma of Du Song Yor’s folks and police communities and 3) to present the process of psycho-trauma healing through public health and religious bridging. By collecting data and analysis from In-Depth Interview, Focus Group Discussion and Socio-Anthropological method of both Du Song Yor’s folks and police communities totally 39 key Informants. It is found that the past Du Song Yor incident happened in April, 1948; but there were many opinions during days of incident, and not clear amount of the dead ones but certainly both Du Song Yor’s folks and the police were dead. The Du Song Yor folks feel psycho-trauma that their ancestors did not rebel but necessarily gathered to fight for self-protection. For the police, they perceive that it was only a riot not rebel as they were ordered to suppress the riot and the Ammunition Monument does not reflect psycho-trauma but it was built as an honorable memorial to the passed away police and the design of ammunition as it was the weapon in working. Presently, when the police go out to risk their lives for working, they will pray for blessing of being safe at the monument, hence, it is not a sculpture of violence but the memory and belief of the police, they are worried that too often saying about the incident may linkage to others and produce new violence. For the way to psycho-trauma healing through public health and religious bridging, the two sides should have agreeable opinions that the government should see into it with neutral mind, mutually find the way to create better understanding related to the history, the Ammunition Monument should be used as the emblem of lesson learning. For the public health and religion psycho–trauma healing processes, it is found that it is a mixture processes: which is to be done in the safe space; exchange of information, and feelings, linked and mixed with self-belief and faith in their religion principles until each side shares empathy and forgiveness leading to mutually find acceptable solutions. However, in this bridging processes each side must trust each other as from the beginning.
