The Ki Jaga Rasa dating train which is stored at the house of DPR member Dedi Mulyadi is again trusted to carry the flag of the red and white Saka on the commemoration of the 78th Indonesian Independence Day at the State Palace in Jakarta.

"This is an honor and honor for me to President Jokowi, who every year gives a noble duty to Ki Jaga Rasa," said Dedi, in Subang, West Java (West Java), Friday, August 11, which was confiscated by Antara.

He said that Ki Jaga Rasa's activities to the state palace were routinely held every August leading up to independence. On duty to the momentum of the commemoration of the Republic of Indonesia's Independence Day.

This year, the Ki Jaga Rasa dating train has been used by the state for the fourth time to bring duplicates of heirloom flags during the independence day ceremony procession, from Monas to the State Palace.

Ki Jaga Rasa has been kept in Bale Pamnah Rasa, Lembur Pakuan, Sukasari Village, Dawuan District, Subang Regency, which is Dedi Mulyadi's residence.

The 2008-made dating car was taken to the State Palace under a complete armed TNI escort on Thursday, August 10 evening.

However, before departing, Dedi Mulyadi as the owner of the Ki Jaga Rasa dating train held a traditional ceremony to release the dating train.

The procession for the release of Ki Jaga Rasa which will be brought to the state palace is carried out with traditional ceremonies, traditional dance arts and gamelan music. Ki Jaga Rasa's release ceremony from Bale Pamnah Rasa was witnessed directly by thousands of residents.

According to Dedi, the Ki Jaga Rasa dating train is a symbol of a leader who protects, protects, and protects the community with a full sense of taste.

He said the diversity of traditional arts that were performed or displayed during independence in the state palace was a reflection of the identity built by each region.

He hopes that this reflection will continue to be maintained so as not to lose Indonesia's identity as a country rich in culture.

"If you have lost your identity, you lose your ideology and lose your identity. If you have lost your identity, you lose national values as well as loss of concern for your commitment to protecting nature," he said.

Dedi said that the ceremony to release the dating train was a form of effort to maintain national values in a form that was not rigid.

"In Indonesia, there is stiffness that is considered protap. In my opinion, rigidity can change all the time and all the time, because we must be adaptive to change," he said.

Later, after Ki Jaga Rasa completes his duties at the state palace, he will be greeted again by a ceremony to return to Lembur Pakuan.
