JAKARTA: Five suspended lawmakers are now under investigation by the House of Representatives ethics committee following complaints filed by students over their arrogance or tone-deaf remarks about their lavish housing allowance that have sparked public anger, as questions linger over their political parties’ commitment to reform.

They are Ahmad Sahroni and Nafa Urbach from NasDem Party, Surya “Uya Kuya” Utama and Eko “Patrio” Hendro Purnomo from the National Mandate Party (PAN) and House deputy speaker Adies Kadir from the Golkar Party.
