Indonesia has been rocked by anti-government protests for the second night in a row, with demonstrators filling the streets of Jakarta and other major cities. Police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse crowds demanding better jobs, fair wages, and lower living costs. Tensions escalated after a motorcycle taxi driver was killed when struck by a police vehicle, sparking widespread anger. President Prabowo Subianto has apologized for the excessive use of force and urged calm.
