Students’s Demonstrations against the President’s Policy
University students are always aggressive and responsive to social changes. In early
January 2003 students staged demonstrations against President Megawaty’s policies. The
demonstrations were triggered by Megawaty’s government policy on increasing prices of oil,
electricity and telecommunication service rates. As the government did not sympathize with
the hardship faced by the people, the demonstrations escalated. Very often demonstrations
have resulted in betterment of the people. However, the student’s reactions may create other
problems. The students’ demonstrations against Megawaty’s administration have resulted
various impacts on different people such as students, businessmen, riot police, bus drivers and
food vendors. The students say that they should be socially aware of the changes which cause
bad effect to all people. They are in the front line to maintain social stability. Thus, they say
that they have right to stage demonstrations against President Megawaty in order to maintain
social norms and social welfare.
Business persons hold an opinion that any social confrontation will have bad effects on
business. As business means profit as long as demonstrations yield in benefit the businessmen
approve students’ demonstrations. However, when the demonstrations end up with violence
business will be badly affected.
Whereas demonstrations give advantages to some people to some others they mean

problems.
