Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto ordered sweeping budget cuts across government.

He ordered cuts to save 306.7 trillion rupiah ( $18.8 billion ) on office spending, ceremonies and business trips.

Many government offices in Jakarta are now turning their lights and air conditioners off immediately when the work day ends at 4 pm .

Workers complain that the cuts are not just inconvenient but counterproductive to their work, pointing to examples like the internet bandwidth being reduced.
