My people are on the streets again. Jakarta, Bandung, North Sumatra, South Sumatra; students have been tearing down police barricades since 12 June, naming what they are watching in real time: a government letting a 32% fuel price hike become the benchmark for a wider cost-of-living crisis while spending 268 trillion rupiah on programmes riddled with corruption, expanding military presence into civilian institutions, resurrecting the logic of dwifungsi ABRI that Reformasi was supposed to have buried in 1998. The protest name this time is “Heading to Bankrupt Indonesia.” Precise, not dramatic.
