Hundreds of residents in Purwakarta, West Java, Indonesia, protested the planned construction of a Simalungun Protestant Christian Church (GKPS) in Cikopo Village, Bungursari District. The protesters visited the local government office and the Ministry of Religious Affairs to express their opposition. Residents questioned the process for checking community support and the requirements for building the church. They asked the government to review the documents and recommendations already issued. Similar protests occur frequently in Indonesia. Purwakarta Regent Saepul Bahri Binzein said that the local government would remain neutral and follow the law.
