JAKARTA - The demonstration against the Work Creation Law in the area of the Arjuna Wiwaha Horse Statue, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, October 28, is still conducive.

Based on VOI's observations in the field, at 4.40 WIB the crowd, some of them children, began to advance to the front row. With enthusiasm they shouted slogans of revolution.

"Revolution, revolution, revolution," they chanted.

Previously, this mass of children had stepped forward. But resigned after being warned by the security. Late in the afternoon, they returned to the front row.

Central Jakarta Police Chief, Kombes Heru Novianto said that his party had detected the presence of children in this action.

"We are monitoring that it is still conducive, there is no visible potential for chaos. The authorities have not prepared a shield against the mass of students," said Heru.

Meanwhile, the student protest mass was still giving speeches. Their demands are still the same as before, namely rejecting the Job Creation Law.

This crowd consisted of Gunadarma University students wearing a gray alma mater and Mercu Buana University wearing a red alma mater.

This student brought a command car to give speeches. Beside the car, a number of students unfurled banners reading "sorry for the improvement of democracy".

"There are still many democracy fighters who voiced their rejection of the Omnibus Law," exclaimed an orator in the command car.

After giving speeches, they recited several national songs. Other student protesters sat in the middle of Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat which was closed by officers.

Like the previous demonstration, Jalan Medan Merdeka Selatan has been closed since morning. Police officers installed road dividers along with barbed wire on both roads.

In securing this action, 20 thousand joint personnel were deployed. They are spread across three points, namely the State Palace area, the Proclamation Monument and the DPR / MPR RI Building.
