JAKARTA (The Straits Times/ANN): Nationwide student protests against Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto’s budget cuts continued in Jakarta on Feb 21, marking a key test of his leadership.
The “Dark Indonesia” rally on a damp, drizzly Friday afternoon saw hundreds of students from leading universities carrying banners reading “Children eat for free, parents are laid off” and “Before: Love People. Now: Love People’s Money”.
