<![CDATA[The Malari incident on January 15, 1974, was a pivotal moment in Indonesian political history, marking tensions between students, community groups, and the New Order government. This study aims to analyze the factors that triggered Malari, the dynamics of student action, and the government's response within the context of political stability and economic development. The research method used is historical, with an analytical approach to documents, newspaper archives, and secondary literature related to economic and political policies at the time. The results show that Malari was not simply a protest against foreign investment but also reflected a critique of corruption, social injustice, and the political control of the New Order.
