Clashes continue in Indonesia's Surabaya over lawmakers' lavish allowances

SURABAYA, INDONESIA - AUGUST 30: Clashes between protesters and security forces continue as public anger over a lavish housing allowance for lawmakers fueled demonstrations since Monday in Surabaya, Indonesia, on August 30, 2025. Riot police fired water cannons and tear gas to disperse thousands of stone-throwing protesters gathered near the nation's parliament building. The unrest was triggered by a monthly housing stipend of 50 million Indonesian rupiah (approximately $3,075) granted to members of parliament, an amount nearly ten times the minimum wage in Jakarta.
