Indonesia’s free meals scheme gets rap as 5,000 students fall ill

Health workers examine children who fell ill from food poisoning, at Cililin Hospital in West Bandung, Indonesia, yesterday.

(AP)

Indonesia’s government was facing calls yesterday to suspend President Prabowo Subianto’s multi-billion-dollar free meals programme after thousands of students fell ill in a food poisoning outbreak.

Television reports showed hospital wards filled with children, with some crying in pain and clutching their stomachs, while police and health workers carried away other victims in ambulances, vans and trucks.
