The House of Representatives (DPR) adjusted several of its members' allowances on Friday (September 5, 2025). The allowances eliminated include telephone and electricity subscription fees, intensive communication allowances, and transportation allowances.

This decision responds to the "17+8" public demands voiced in protests across various regions and on social media.
