In the years following the conflict, there have been efforts to promote reconciliation between the Madurese and Dayak communities. These efforts have included the establishment of a joint committee to promote inter-community dialogue and understanding.
The Sampit conflict resulted in significant human suffering and economic losses. According to official reports, over 1,000 people were killed, and thousands more were displaced. The conflict also destroyed much of the infrastructure in Sampit, including homes, schools, and hospitals.
In February 2001, a fight broke out between a Madurese and a Dayak man at a karaoke bar in Sampit. The fight quickly escalated into a violent clash between the two communities, with both sides suffering casualties.
