Protests have been sweeping Indonesia, sparked by lavish parliamentary perks, and exacerbated by the death of a 21-year-old delivery rider who was run over by an armoured car driven by a paramilitary police unit through a group of protesters. But what does this public outrage in Jakarta reveal about parliamentary accountability across Southeast Asia? And how can elected representatives be held to ethical standards, not just by law, but by the people they serve? We explore this with Dewan Rakyat Speaker, Tan Sri Johari bin Abdul.
