INDONESIAN STUDENT WITH DOLLAR SIGN IN JAKARTA, 1998-04-28 (photo)

An Indonesian student from the Institute of Jakarta's Culture Central (IKJ) has a "U.S. dollar" sign painted on his body during a protest in central Jakarta April 29. The anti-government student protest called for political and economic reforms and demanded that President Suharto step down from office as the country wrestles with its worst economic crisis in decades. Indonesia's currency, the rupiah, has lost some 70 percent of its value against the dollar since last July. Demonstrations were also held in other major Indonesia cities like Surabaya, Yogjakarta, Bandung and Medan. REUTERS
