Thousands of Indonesians have taken to the streets to express dissatisfaction with the performance of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who has completed the first 100 days of his second term.
They say the president has failed to crack down on corruption and they reject his economic policies which give free rein to the market.
Demonstrations were held near the presidential palace in the capital Jakarta and in several other cities including Surabaya and Ambon in the Moluccas. In Ambon, the protesters tried to storm the regional government building and set fire to a poster of President Yudhoyono.
