Indonesian lawmakers are pressing for compensation for citizens and small businesses impacted by recent widespread rolling blackouts, particularly on the island of Java. Member of Commission VI of the House of Representatives, Mufti Anam, highlighted the prolonged disruptions lasting several weeks. He is urging both state-owned electricity company PT PLN and the government to provide concrete restitution for losses incurred. The demand comes amid growing public frustration with the recurring power outages. Lawmakers are criticizing the repeated calls for public patience in the face of ongoing issues. The situation is impacting both residents and the vital micro, small, and medium enterprise (UMKM) sector.
