The death of Affan Kurniawan, a 21-year-old online motorcycle taxi driver, who was run over by a police tactical vehicle on Thursday, 28 August 2025 during a rally in Jakarta, not only deepened national grief and public anger toward the government and parliament, but also sparked an unexpected wave of cross-border solidarity.
Amid the chaos of protests, Indonesian netizens began noticing posts from Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Thailand showing screenshots of food orders placed through a delivery app.
