Over 1,000 children fall ill from free school lunches in Indonesia

Over 1,000 children in Indonesia fell ill from free school lunches this week, raising concerns about a multi-billion-dollar meals program led by President Prabowo Subianto. Mass food poisoning incidents have prompted calls for the program's suspension due to health issues, despite government resistance. Suggestions include distributing funds directly to parents for meal preparation. Anti-government sentiments have grown as the costly program faces food safety challenges and protests, highlighting concerns about corruption and effectiveness.
