Malino is a small hill town resort in the Gowa district of southern Sulewesi, 90km from Makassar[1]. It is a popular getaway famous for its tropical flowers[2].
Malino Conference
The resort gained international attention when for hosting a Conference between 17th and 20th 1946 [3] that was an important stage in the formation of the Republic of Indonesia. The conference, organised by the Dutch colonial government, invited representatives of 39 Indonesian rajas as well as representatives of major religious and ethnic groups.[4]. At this stage the Dutch plan had been to divide Indonesia into several parts and the conference was an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to push their divide and rule ideas by creating "a conservative counterweight to the Republic"[5].
Malino II Accord
Malino hosted a second major conference during 2002 that resulted in the Malino II Accord. Those agreements signed here on February 13th 2002[6] (February 12th according to the UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office)[7] brought the hope of peace to Maluku following years of civil inter-religious strife that had rocked Maluku since 1998.
