History
Malang was granted its status as a municipality by the Dutch East Indies government in 1914, with the municipal council founded on 6 October 1914.[1] In 1922, the municipal council moved to its current modern location at Alun-Alun Tugu.[2][3] During the Dutch period, the council consisted of 11 members, of which 8 were Dutch, 2 were native Indonesians, and the last seat was allocated for non-native groups such as Arabs or Chinese.[3]
Under an independent Indonesia, the city council was reestablished in 1950, as a provisional legislature.[4] The first elected council served between 1951 and 1956.[5]
In 2018, 40 out of 45 members of the legislature were arrested as suspects for bribery, in a case which also implicated mayor Mochammad Anton and another former legislator Ya'qud Ananda Gudban who had resigned to run in that year's mayoral election.[6][7] The arrested members were accused of having received payments ranging from Rp 12.5 to 50 million (USD 842 to 3,368) in order to approve the proposed municipal budget in 2015.[6] 40 replacements were sworn in around a week following the arrests in order to maintain the municipal government's functions.[8] All 40 were found guilty of the charges, and received sentences ranging from 4 to 5 years.[9][10]
