Protests Shake Indonesia as Prabowo Balances Concessions with Crackdown

Indonesia is facing a wave of unrest over social gaps and economic strains, with demonstrations spreading across major cities.

Anger grew after a motorcycle taxi driver, Affan Kurniawan, died on Thursday when a police vehicle hit him during a rally against perks for lawmakers.

Violence escalated on Friday night when protesters in Makassar set fire to a council building, leaving at least three people dead.

In South Tangerang, the home of Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati was attacked early Sunday, with looters taking household items ranging from electronics to kitchenware.

On Sunday, President Prabowo Subianto said parliament leaders had agreed to cancel some privileges for lawmakers, including cuts to allowances and halting foreign trips.

However, he also instructed security forces to act firmly against vandalism and looting.

Prabowo called off a planned visit to China, where he was due to attend a World War Two anniversary parade, as tensions at home deepened.

At the same time, TikTok confirmed it had paused its live streaming feature in Indonesia for several days, citing the volatile situation.
