Protests in Indonesia result in three fatalities following a blaze, as public outrage escalates over a driver's death.
In major cities across Indonesia, including the capital Jakarta, protests have erupted, marking a significant test for President Prabowo Subianto, who has been in office less than a year. These protests were sparked by the death of a motorcycle taxi driver, who was run over by a police vehicle, and have been focused on low wages and perceived lavish perks for lawmakers.
The protests in Makassar, the largest city on the eastern island of Sulawesi, have seen a series of violent incidents. The most notable of these is the fire that engulfed the Makassar City Hall, resulting in at least three deaths. According to Secretary Rahmat Mappatoba, three people were killed in the fire that was started by protesters who stormed into the city council building.
The fire, which burned the building beyond recognition, is the latest act of violence during the ongoing protests in Makassar. Protesters hurled rocks and Molotov cocktails during the protests, and vehicles were torched. The destruction caused by the protests in Makassar is adding to the growing list of incidents across the country.

The fire at the city council building is a significant escalation in the violence during the ongoing protests in Makassar, and it is the biggest and most violent of President Prabowo Subianto's presidency so far.
Despite the ongoing violence, the names of the three victims of the fire at the Makassar City Hall remain unknown, as search results do not provide any information about them. The destruction caused by the protests in Makassar serves as a stark reminder of the challenges facing President Prabowo Subianto in his first year in office.
