Usia klenteng yang sudah tua menjadikan klenteng sebuah saksi sejarah. Seperti sejarah kelam kerusuhan pada 1998, Klenteng Boen Tek Bio menjadi saksi pembantaian besar-besaran pada etnis Tiongoa pada masa itu.

Tragedi 1998 di Indonesia, yang juga dikenal sebagai Kerusuhan Mei 1998 atau Kerusuhan Anti-Cina, melibatkan kekerasan dan kerusuhan yang terjadi di berbagai wilayah di Indonesia, termasuk Jakarta. Dalam kerusuhan tersebut, terjadi serangan dan pembakaran terhadap properti dan tempat-tempat usaha yang dimiliki oleh orang-orang Tionghoa, serta terjadinya serangan fisik dan kekerasan terhadap individu-individu Tionghoa.

Tragedi ini terjadi dalam konteks ketegangan politik, ekonomi, dan sosial di Indonesia pada saat itu. Ketidakpuasan terhadap pemerintah dan krisis ekonomi yang melanda negara tersebut menjadi faktor pemicu utama. Beberapa kelompok masyarakat melampiaskan ketidakpuasan mereka dengan menyerang dan merampok properti serta melakukan kekerasan terhadap etnis Tionghoa, yang sering diidentifikasikan dengan keberhasilan ekonomi.

Banyak toko, bisnis, dan properti milik etnis Tionghoa menjadi sasaran serangan, dan beberapa di antaranya dijarah dan dibakar. Selain itu, banyak individu Tionghoa juga menjadi korban serangan fisik, pemerkosaan, dan penjarahan.

Tragedi 1998 sangat traumatis dan meninggalkan luka yang dalam bagi komunitas Tionghoa di Indonesia. Pasca-tragedi, upaya rekonsiliasi dan pemulihan dilakukan oleh pemerintah dan masyarakat. Namun, peristiwa tersebut tetap menjadi bagian penting dalam sejarah Indonesia dan menjadi peringatan akan perlunya mempromosikan toleransi, kerukunan, dan penegakan hak asasi manusia
