This is the shocking moment a protester destroys a CCTV camera during ongoing unrest in Indonesia.
Footage shows the activist perched on a pole, smashing the surveillance equipment while the crowd cheers in Central Jakarta on August 30.
Public outrage erupted amid claims that 580 members of the House of Representatives have been receiving a monthly housing allowance of 50 million rupiah (approximately 2,270 GBP) since September 2024 – nearly ten times the city's minimum wage.
Activists are calling for an end to what they describe as excessive perks given to lawmakers in addition to their regular salaries.
A 21-year-old delivery rider was fatally struck by a police riot truck during a demonstration last Thursday night.
Witnesses said a police tactical truck, speeding down the highway with sirens and lights activated, collided with the rider after he stumbled while running ahead of the crowd.
In Makassar, protesters stormed into the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) office and set the government building ablaze.
Officials confirmed that at least three council staff members were trapped inside the building and killed as the flames spread uncontrollably.
The wave of protests has since spread to multiple regions across Indonesia, with at least 10 deaths reported in connection with the unrest.
