”Just Your Parent is Enough to Interrupt…"

KOMPAS/WISNU WIDIANTORO

Students carry posters as they take part in a demonstration around the Senayan Legislative Building in Jakarta on Tuesday (24/9/2019). The demonstrators were objecting to problematic articles in a bill to revise the Criminal Code Bill and were demanding that the recently approved revisions of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Law be revoked

The mass media has been bombarded with comical messages from student protesters across the country. Humorous posters that prompted smiles or laughter colored the wave of heated opposition against a number of revised laws.

On Tuesday (24/9/2019), the cloudy sky provided respite to the thousands of students from several universities in Bandung who had gathered at the West Java Provincial Legislative Council (DPRD). Their voices were loud. Amidst their sharp oral criticism, they held posters and banners bearing satirical messages that made fun of the administration.
