Today is 22nd anniversary of the fall of late President #Suharto amid mass student protests, rioting on 21 May 1998. I was then Reuters Jakarta correspondent, running from rubber bullets, tear gas almost every day. I witnessed incredible courage from people of #Indonesia. Thread
1. These are the lessons I learnt from #Indonesia
- Freedom is not free. You have to fight and sacrifice for it
- The fall of #Suharto was just the beginning of a long, back-breaking struggle to forge democracy, re-build or build democratic institutions for the future

#Malaysia's Ministry for Women, Family and Community Development issued the advise along with a series of online posters on social media with the hashtag #WomenPreventCOVID19.
The campaign was swiftly met with ridicule, forcing the ministry to abandon its campaign.
