Indonesians Rise Up: Anger Over Lawmakers’ Perks Amid Economic Hardship
Indonesia is witnessing a wave of nationwide protests led by students and workers, fueled by growing frustration over economic hardship and political elitism. At the heart of the outrage is a recent hike in benefits for members of parliament—now receiving over $6,000 per month—while the average minimum wage remains just $340, and most Indonesians work in informal, low-paid jobs.
Abigail Limuria, co-founder of the digital platform What’s Up Indonesia, joins Al Jazeera live from Jakarta to unpack the widening gap between politicians and ordinary citizens, the arrogance displayed by government officials, and the public outrage following the death of a motorbike taxi driver run over by a police vehicle—an incident that reignited anger over police brutality and lack of accountability.
