Demonstrations occurred across Jakarta on August 29, 2025, leading to significant disruptions, including the inability of MRT Senayan and Istora Mandiri teams to operate due to protests. Passengers were reportedly panicked but safely redirected to other stations. The protests also saw the burning of the Slipi toll gate around 9:00 PM Western Indonesia Time (WIB), according to social media reports. The atmosphere in areas like Senayan was described as tense, with empty offices and closed stores, while other areas such as SCBD and Senopati appeared quiet. Reports indicate that some protesters sustained injuries, with one account mentioning a head injury that was allegedly not treated by local hospitals or Puskesmas, forcing the individual to be taken home. Authorities were reportedly present in the affected areas, leading to further tension. The demonstrations have been met with strong sentiment online, with hashtags such as #Bubarkandpr and #StaySave circulating. The specific reasons for the demonstrations or the groups involved were not immediately clear from the provided sources. However, descriptions suggest widespread public discontent, with one user noting, "the country is so scared of its own people, and yet they are not scared enough."
