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

-not nag their husbands during lockdown
-refrain from being "sarcastic" if asking for help w/household chores
-dress up & wear makeup if working from home npr.org/2020/04/01/825…
#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.
