Unspun 
It’s Indonesia – so I’ll have to choose option B (stepping on people).
Case in point:
#1) clove cigarettes and palm oil plantations
#2) clove cigarettes and palm oil plantations
#3) palm oil plantations
#4) palm oil plantations
and so on. Palm oil plantations to destroy Indonesia’s forests, clove cigarettes to destroy Indonesian people’s bodies.
Low Tuck Kwong sounds like he may be redeemable though.
