Jakarta – Hundreds of university students grouped in the Greater Jakarta University Students' Executive Body (BEM) staged a rally in front of the parliament here Wednesday demanding the discontinuation of the ongoing annual People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) session.

They said they would besiege the parliament building to show that they had lost their trust in the Assembly members who were only wasting money by holding their annual meeting.

The demonstration which took place at about 15:00 hours local time proceeded in an orderly manner, although the students demonstratively burned the passes they had obtained to attend the MPR annual session as observers. Some of their representatives also delivered fiery orations ridiculing the MPR and the government.
