JAKARTA - Several online motorcycle taxi (ojol) drivers arrived at the courtyard of the House of Representatives (DPR) Building this morning, Friday, October 29th. This arrival came after a Brimob (Indonesian National Police) tactical vehicle (rantis) ran over a fellow motorcycle taxi driver, killing him in the Pejompongan area last night.
According to VOI monitoring, at 9:15 a.m. Western Indonesian Time (WIB), dozens of motorcycle taxi drivers stopped in front of the DPR building. Several people then approached the fence, shouting at the officers on guard.
"Hey, murderer!" shouted one motorcycle taxi driver in front of the DPR building.
At the scene, two water cannon trucks were still visible guarding the DPR building gate on Gatot Soebroto Street. Some of the graffiti on the DPR building fence that appeared after yesterday's demonstration has begun to disappear and has been cleaned this morning.
