YOGYAKARTA - Today it falls on the Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia (RI).

It is commemorated every year on August 17, in fact it is not only the events of the Republic of Indonesia's Birthday (HUT) which took place on that date.

Well, the following follows from a number of sources adrift of 5 important events that took place on August 17, outside of Indonesian Independence Day:

Who doesn't know Monas, especially if there are also those who visited there.

Monas aka the National Monument is a monument that reaches 433 feet or 132 m high, which was formed to commemorate the resistance and struggle of the Indonesian people to seize independence from the Dutch East Indies colonial.

If you visit Monas and read its history, you must know that the monument that became an icon of the City of Jakarta began to be formed on August 17, 1961, on the orders of President Soekarno.

On August 17, it was not only about reading the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence where this moment took place in 1945.

It is also included that it is also not only an indicator of Indonesian Independence Day.

On 5 years after the Proclamation Day, or to be precise August 17, 1950, Indonesia also grew and decided to no longer become the Republic of Indonesia of the United States (RIS).

After the disbandment of RIS, Indonesia became the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI).

Although TVRI was formally recorded as airing early on August 24, 1962, the first tv station in Indonesia had carried out a trial broadcast first.

The trial was tried on August 17, 1961.

TVRI Station held a broadcast of an experiment on the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence Anniversary at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta.

Do you understand that Indonesia had resigned from the membership of the International Monetary Fund (IMF)?

In fact, this matter did take place.

"Go to hell with your acid," said Soekarno to the United States, precisely on August 17, 1965, when he broke ties with the international monetary body.

At that time, President Soekarno delivered Indonesia's bond breaking with the IMF at the 20th Indonesian independence commemoration, due to a polemic regarding the acceptance of foreign encouragement entering Indonesia.

In fact, the proud moment at the Indonesian Independence Day also took place on August 17, 2016.

The pair of badminton athletes Tontowi Ahmad and Liliyana Natsir performed a gold medal for Indonesia.

Their gold medal is owned at the 2016 Olympics.

They won gold medals after defeating the Malaysian pair, Chan Peng Soon and Goh Liu Ying.
