Violent antigovernment protests against a range of cost-of-living issues have roiled Indonesia, and anger boiled over after the killing of a motorcycle taxi driver who was hit by a police vehicle during a demonstration in the capital, Jakarta.
In a recorded video address on Friday, President Prabowo Subianto called for calm and asked the people to “trust the government and my leadership”.
Yet, protesters pelted the headquarters of the police mobile brigade and set fire to a five-storey building near the police compound in the Kwitang neighbourhood of central Jakarta.
U a mental nut case psychopath!
