In Indonesia, this flag is called 'Sang Saka Merah Putih' (The Sacred Red and White) and is considered sacred. On Independence Day, flag-raising ceremonies are held across the country to express national pride, which is an important ritual to remember the long history of the struggle for independence from the Netherlands.
