Braving heavy downpours, students of state high school SMAN 31 in North Jakarta voiced Thursday their support for an anticorruption initiative involving a petition and performance.
The students were among participants of the "1,000 signatures to eradicate corruption in Indonesia" petition. They also took part in a songwriting and singing competition to promote justice.
Eight groups from eight classes signed the anticorruption petition and performed songs holding messages about justice for their peers.
"I think the anticorruption initiative is a great idea," student Yohanika Sari said.
The event was attended by members of Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), which has come under the spotlight following an alleged plot by the National Police to undermine it.
"We thank the support from SMAN 31 in the KPK’s fight against corruption," Yudi Purnomo from the KPK said.
Yohanika said she was unbiased about the situation between the KPK and the National Police.
"We demand justice," Yohanika said. (dis)
