Students from the Greater Jakarta area flock to the People\'s Consultative Assembly (MPR) and House of Representatives (DPR) complex in May 1998, demanding reform and the removal of former president Suharto. Students can be seen climbing the roof of the building.
Entering the month of May, the public will recall the 1998 reform movement that ended the 32-year-old New Order era.
One of the various characteristics of the reform movement was the spirit of anti-corruption against state officials. The public was fed up with widespread corruption practices in the New Order era. Through the struggle of the students and the people, the General Session of the People\'s Consultative Assembly (MPR) issued MPR Decree No. XI/MPR/1998 on clean governance free from corruption, collusion and nepotism.
