Censored obscure Indonesian punk song grows into national protest song

https://www.volkskrant.nl/buitenland/gecensureerd-obscuur-indonesische-punknummer-groeit-uit-tot-nationaal-protestlied~bf71afd82/

EDIT: Translation using Deepl

Translated from Dutch using Yandex (I’d have done it using Deepl, but posting whole articles apparently isn’t allowed, so there to me doesn’t seem to be another way to share non-English articles):

Censoring an obscure punk song about corruption in the Indonesian police has had the opposite effect: it has become the soundtrack of a fledgling protest movement. 'Want to bribe someone? Pay the police!’, echoes from the throats of disgruntled students at demonstrations.
