University students burned a Democratic Party flag during a demonstration protesting the Bank Century case in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on Monday.

The police tried to stop the students from burning the flag lost in a tug-of-war.

Besides the flag, the students also burned pictures of a number of figures including Minister for Youth and Sports Affairs Andi Malarangeng, Democratic Party lawmaker Ruhut Sitompul and President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's son Edi Baskoro. Pictures of former National Police chief detective Comr. Gen. Susno Duadji was also burned.

The students said they were disappointed by the seemingly endless corruption cases. The students urged Yudhoyono to suspend Vice President Boediono and Finance Minister Sri Mulyani, who they accused of being responsible for the bailout of the ailing lender. The protest caused traffic delays in downtown Makassar because the demonstrators also burned used car tires.
