The monument at one of Jakarta’s universities has become a symbol for change and of the sacrifices made 20 years ago. The death of four students during protests here is seen as the beginning of the downfall of Soeharto who ruled Indonesia with an iron fist and has been accused of massive corruption.
Risky of Pasar Rebo was 19 years old when she was shot in the head with a rubber bullet. Her picture appeared in newspapers the next day. Soeharto announced his resignation after thousands of students occupied the Parliament. He handed over power to his Vice President Habibie who told Al Jazeera he disagreed with Soeharto’s decision at the time.
Research shows that for many Indonesians life has not improved. Only 43 thousand of 260 million Indonesians own one-fourth of the country’s wealth. The gap between rich and poor has increased basically in 20 years. There’s been a researcher test for of Indonesia’s richest man. They own more than 100 million of Indonesia’s poor. That’s an extreme difference.
