A crowd entered and looted a house reported to belong to Indonesian lawmaker Uya Kuya in Duren Sawit on Saturday night, according to Jawa Pos, as public anger focused on members of the country’s House of Representatives.
The Indonesian outlet said videos circulating that evening showed hundreds of people surrounding the residence before moving inside. Footage described by the publication showed people filling the ground floor and climbing a staircase to the upper level. Family photographs visible in the building were cited as evidence that the property belonged to Uya, whose full public identity is associated with his work in entertainment and parliament.
Jawa Pos reported that people removed chairs, a water dispenser, a television and a bicycle from the house. It also said a pet cat was taken and that parts of the property were damaged. Because the account relied on video shared online, the precise sequence of events and the identity of every participant were not established in the supplied reporting.
The raid followed reports that homes belonging to fellow legislators Ahmad Sahroni and Eko Patrio had also been targeted. The Jawa Pos article framed the incident at Uya’s residence as the latest in that series, although the supplied report did not provide a detailed account of the earlier episodes.
Before the house was entered, Uya had posted a video apology addressing anger over his conduct at the parliament building. He acknowledged criticism of lawmakers who had danced after an increase in legislators’ allowances was announced during an annual session of the People’s Consultative Assembly. The episode had drawn a backlash at a time when many Indonesians were experiencing economic strain.
In his apology, Uya said recent events had caused deep hurt, especially for families of people who had died during clashes. He said he had not intended to worsen tensions and promised to act more carefully while carrying out his responsibilities as a member of parliament. He also asked the public for another opportunity to improve his work for constituents.
The source did not establish that the apology caused or organized the raid, and it did not identify any leaders directing the crowd. The available account instead documented two developments occurring amid the same period of unrest: a public apology by a prominent legislator and the subsequent invasion of a residence reported to be his.
By the end of the reported episode, the focus had extended beyond criticism of parliamentary privileges to damage and removal of property from private homes. The supplied evidence did not include an official police assessment, arrest figures or a verified inventory of losses.
