JAKARTA, June 12 (Reuters) - Hundreds of Indonesian students rallied in Jakarta on Friday to protest the spending priorities of President Prabowo Subianto's government, and to protest against this week's ‌decision to raise gasoline prices.

Calling the protest "Heading to Bankrupt Indonesia", university students marched towards central Jakarta's iconic Bundaran ‌HI landmark. Organisers said some of the protesters were blocked from reaching the designated site by police and military personnel.

The government has used subsidies to keep gasoline prices unchanged in Southeast Asia's largest economy, despite a spike in global oil prices caused by the Iran war. But fiscal pressures on the budget from Prabowo's ambitious spending plans have been rising, prompting a substantial price rise earlier this week.


Clad in yellow and blue alma mater jackets, the students carried posters with slogans such as "Cancel the fuel price hike", and used the phrase "Wall ‌of Shame" to describe Prabowo's cabinet. The ⁠students also called on incoming cars to honk to show support.

By Friday evening, dozens of students had left the protest area, but there was still a sizeable crowd, and police were ⁠standing by.

Indon may need to channel the Majapahit vibes to be great again, right Cik Syed?

Left to their own devices, people in this part of the world always default to uncivilized regimes: communist, a strongman, a military junta, a dictatorship, a monarchy with ridiculous lese majeste rules.

Malaysia is one of the better (tolerable) ones, if you can ignore the bumi stuff and the Islamofascist barkings from a few more enthusiastic members of their cult.

Majapahit (Javanese: ꦩꦗꦥꦲꦶꦠ꧀, romanized: Måjåpahit; Javanese pronunciation:[mɔd͡ʒɔpaɪt] (eastern and central dialect) or [mad͡ʒapaɪt] (western dialect)), also known as Wilwatikta[note 5] (Javanese: ꦮꦶꦭ꧀ꦮꦠꦶꦏ꧀ꦠ; Javanese pronunciation: [wɪlwatɪkta], Sanskrit: विल्वतिक्त, romanized: vilvatikta), was a Javanese Hindu-Buddhist thalassocratic empire in Southeast Asiabased on the island of Java (in modern-day Indonesia).[5] At its greatest extent, following significant military expansions, the territory of the empire and its tributary states covered almost the entire Nusantara archipelago, spanning both Asiaand Oceania.[6][7][8] After a civil war that weakened control over the vassal states, the empire slowly declined before collapsing in 1527 due to an invasion by the Sultanate of Demak. The fall of Majapahit saw the rise of Islamic kingdoms in Java.
