@ajplus: Many Indonesian students are still in the streets despite warnings of a massive police crackdown that will create “impossible conditions” for the protesters. Massive protests were sparked by reports that Indonesian politicians were receiving a housing allowance over 10x the monthly minimum wage in Jakarta. The nationwide demonstrations forced President Prabowo Subianto to roll back perks for politicians on Aug. 31. But he also ordered the military and police to tighten security and set up checkpoints across Jakarta. #Indonesia #Protest #AffanKurniawan #Inequality #WealthInequality
Honestly workers should be protesting even globally though I understand Indonesias situation makes it that lawmakers there make so much more 10x avg wage.

Guys help us. The corrupt Indonesian government wants to silence us. If we speak out, they (the legal apparatus) do not hesitate to injure, kidnap and even kill us. Now they are aggressively silencing us by shutting down our communication networks so that their evil deeds are not known to the Indonesian people. Please help us. They are corrupt in law and office. They have corrupted everything.

Anyone behind to add fuel in the fire? Problem could have been resolved in a much better way, the law makers, the government, the President & the people! Be aware there could be wolves among the sheeps called USAID, NGO, CIA, MOSSAD — of course they will called themselves differently like reporters, freedom supporters, human rights activities - all they do is to add more fuel on fire! Watch out!

lawmakers' perks is not president's authority. he don't have authority to roll it back.
the parliament/lawmakers are above the president, and have authority to do impeachment.

This was exactly the same reason Nigerian youths had the ENDSARS protests in 2020. it led to police reforms but didn't do much concerning corruption in other government public institutions

There are players behind the scenes who are agitators. Yes, the people have genuine grouses but there are means to talk these over. Peace to all Indonesians, and beware. Do not play into the hands of those who will benefit from this unrest.

what is currrently happening in indo rn are an accumulated anger for yearssss. we've been angry and disappointed to the govt since years ago but the death of the grab driver from police brutality triggers a bigger protest nationwide. it's been a week full of chaos, and our voice are silenced! they disabled the live feature from IG and tiktok to stop us from spreading the words.
and just last night the police AND military raided, attacked, and shot fire at two campuses in bandung that being used as safe zone and medical post when there is NO PROTEST happen. they shot 60 tear gases into the campus area.
two students are arrested, a lot injured and BEATEN UP.

jakarta is a big sprawling place… if the protests expand across the country, the military might have a big problem as that part of the world is a powder keg.
