History of the Flag Its colors are derived from the banner of the 13th century Majapahit Empire. Later, these colors were revived by students and then nationalists in the early 20th century as an expression of nationalism against the Dutch. The red-white flag was flown for the first time in Java in 1928. Under Dutch rule, the flag was prohibited. It was adopted as the national flag on August 17, 1945, when independence was declared and is still being used until now.

Alternative History There is also another history about the flag of Indonesia, which is significantly related to the flag of Netherlands. Under the Dutch's colonialism, every governance used the Netherlands (Red-white-blue) flag and the present flag of Indonesia was prohibited. To symbolize the intention of forcing out the Dutch, the Indonesian nationalists and independent movement tore apart the Dutch flag. They tore the 2/3 section of the flag and separated the red and white colors from the blue color. The main reason was because blue in the Dutch flag was understood as standing for the "blue blooded" aristocracy. Vice versa, the red color represented as the blood shed in the war of independence while the white could be understood as the purity of the Indonesians. In addition to this, the red color may be derived from Sukarno's ideology, which was sympathetic to the PKI communist[1]. It has been suggested that Benign colonialism be merged into this article or section. ...

Name of the Flag The official name of the flag is Sang Merah Putih ("The Red White") according to Article 35 of the 1945 Constitution. The flag is commonly called Bendera Merah Putih ("Red White Flag") by the people. Occasionally, it is also called Sang Dwiwarna ("The bicolor"). Sang Saka Merah Putih ("The Lofty Red White") refers to the historical flag called Bendera Pusaka (heirloom flag) and its replica. The Bendera Pusaka is the flag that was flown in front of Soekarno's house a moment after he proclaimed Indonesia's independence on August 17, 1945. The original Bendera Pusaka was sewn by Mrs. Fatmawati Soekarno, and was hoisted every year in front of the presidential palace during the independence day ceremony. It was hoisted for the last time on August 17, 1968. Since then it has been preserved and replaced by its replica because the original flag was deemed to be too fragile. Sukarno Sukarno (June 6, 1901 - June 21, 1970) was the first President of Indonesia. ...

Traditionally, most Indonesian has been known to use red and white colors as their sacred colors, mixing the color of sugar (the red color comes from palm-sugar or gula aren) and rice (white in color). Inarguably, until today, both of these are the major components of daily Indonesian cuisine or cooking. Apparently, the Javanese's Majapahit Kingdom also used this concept and designed their flag as red and white (9 strips each). Moreover, the red and white color are also used for the Indonesia's distant cousin, Madagascar's as the color of the national flag[1].

Relocation In 2003, the governor of Jakarta, Sutiyoso planned to relocate the original Bendera Pusaka from the State Palace to the National Monument (Monas). With every aspect of security and economy, the Rp 3.5 billion (US$388,889) project was delayed for one year. Surprisingly, from the 3.5 billion, only Rp 500 million is allocated for the relocation ceremony while most of the remaining Rp 3 billions has been spent to procure around 15 kilograms of gold for the conservation room and security issues such as alarms and security cameras. The whole budget had been proposed in the 2003 revised city budget. The plan was to install the flag in a 24-carat gold plated case in the Independence Room inside the National Monument. Inside the Independence Room, there are three most important things in Indonesia's history, which are the Garuda statue, the Nusantara (Archipelago) map and the original text of the Indonesian proclamation, which all are kept in the gold plated cases[1].
