I don't think it's a darkling beetle, its rough elytra and feet don't look right. It almost looks like a tortoise beetle, but it's not that either...I know I've come across one of these in a book before, but I can't remember what it was.
Also, you should remove it from the Lost Ladybug Project, since it's not a ladybug.

Chrysomelidae/Hispinae, I confirm! For beetles of Indonesia, www.beetle-diversity.com is helpful.
cheers! Boris
Thank you Latimeria. .. and now, I think it is a leaf beetle (fam)
