SOUTH SUMATRA - The Regency Government (Pemkab) of Ogan Komering Ulu (OKU) Timur distributed thousands of Red and White flags in order to welcome the 78th Anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia.

East OKU Regent Lanosin Hamzah said this distribution was part of the 'Red and White Flag Movement in 2023' according to President Joko Widodo's instructions.

"This activity is a synchronization of the central and regional government programs," he said at OKU, South Sumatra (Sumsel), Monday, July 31, which was confiscated by Antara.

He explained that the distribution of the Red and White flag was to unite the nation and increase the spirit of community nationalism.

In addition, he continued, he reminded citizens that Indonesia stands with a red and white struggle.

"This Red and White Flag will be installed in all government, private, political parties, schools, public places, houses, and other strategic places," he said.

Head of the National Unity and Political Agency of East OKU Regency Faizal said that this activity was a follow-up to President Jokowi's program which was forwarded through a circular letter from the Minister of Home Affairs.

"On the orders of the East OKU Regent, Lanosin Hamzah, we distributed thousands of Red and White flags to the public, and this is the 2nd wave," he said.

Thousands of flags were distributed to people passing through the Martapura Market area and around the East OKU Regency Government office area.

"After this, the distribution is continued in other open places, such as at the Merdeka Martapura Farmers Field," he said.
