A man goes berserk at the House of Representatives and forces the legislative body’s security officers to arrest him.

The man, who said his name was Hendri, yelled at the House and demanded that he see the legislative body speaker, Marzuki Alie from the Democratic Party.

“I am a citizen of Ogan Ilir [in South Sumatera ]. I want to report the Ogan Ilir regent because he has yet to pay the 13th salary for our state officials. How can the officials provide food for their wives and children without that salary?” the man yelled.

Hendri also accused that the Ogan Ilir regent had conducted corruption that cost the regency Rp 18 billion (US$2 million)

Hendri then continuously cried his demand for no avail, as security guards then arrested him and took him out of the House compound.

This is the third incident at the House in this week.

First, senior actor Pong Harjatmo climbed the House rooftops and painted messages of protest, and just yesterday, one of the legislative body’s touch screen monitors was hacked and replaced with a porn website.
