JAKARTA - Hundreds of online motorcycle taxi drivers (ojek online) held a demonstration in front of the Indonesian Parliament Building in Jakarta on Monday, August 25, 2025. They protested the issue of salary increases and allowances for DPR members, which they considered excessive.
The demonstration, which initially proceeded peacefully after being called on social media, turned chaotic as the crowds grew larger. Some residents also blocked access to roads around the parliament building.
The situation escalated, prompting police and Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) personnel to intervene to secure the area. As of this afternoon, traffic in the Senayan area was observed to be congested due to the demonstration.
