Students from Hasanuddin University in Makassar, South Sulawesi, took to the streets on Thursday, burning images of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Vice President Boediono and Finance Minister Sri Mulyani to demand a thorough investigation into the Bank Century bailout.

The rally was monitored by police but the students were not stopped from burning pictures of Yudhoyono, Boediono and Sri Mulyani. The students demanded Yudhoyono and Boediono step down and Sri Mulyani to be arrested.

"Rp 6.7 billion would mean a lot if it were allocated for free education. Thousands of poor children in the country will be able to go to school," said a demonstrator.

Besides Hasanuddin University students, scores of students from Paulus Indonesia Christian University also held a rally in Makassar to demand the government to show more commitment to investigating the Bank Century scandal.
