Indonesia

[angrychair]

Had not seen anything about this posted here so thought I would.

Indonesia are in full revolt right now, multi-day protesting and rioting, burning down government buildings, over finding out that their elected government MPs are getting a housing allowance and other money, putting their salary way above the wage of the average Indonesian.

1. I posted a story about the riots in the Foreign Affairs group

a couple days ago.

2. That is great to hear

So much going on in the world. Normally this should be a very big deal but unfortunately these are not normal times.

I mainly did it to highlight how numb we have become in this country and how much abuse we are willing to take to avoid controversy and most importantly, a little inconvenience.
While countries like Indonesia and many others are waking up and actually doing something about it.
