Locals joined growing protests in Indonesia over allegedly lavish perks granted to government officials.
Furious demonstrators gathered on Thursday following reports that 580 members of the House of Representatives have been receiving a monthly housing benefit of 50 million rupiah (GBP 2,270) since September 2024, nearly 10 times Jakarta's minimum wage.
