JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The emergence of a number of articles in the amended Law No. 17 of 2014 on legislative institutions (UU MD3), which strengthens the authority and immunity of House members, shows a major decline in democracy in Indonesia. The results of the amendment of UU MD3 shows the House\'s intention to rule without limits and public control.
