Thousands of students staged a demonstration at the DPR/MPR building in Jakarta, on Thursday (21/5/1998). At that time, Suharto announced his resignation from the position of President of the Republic of Indonesia.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The level of public trust in the government institutions that were born in the Reform era out of an urgency to strengthen control mechanisms on power is believed to be on the decline. As Indonesia approached the 25th anniversary of the Reform movement, concerns have arisen about the need for a comprehensive evaluation to strengthen the functions of those institutions.

Those institutions founded to help achieve Reform’s aspirations include the Regional Representatives Council (DPD), Constitutional Court (MK) and Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). The DPD was introduced in 2001, while the MK and KPK were formed in 2003.
