JAKARTA - The Transportation Service officer stopped a Honda CRV car with a red number on Jalan Ciputat Raya, Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta. The officers stopped because the metallic brown car had the Red and White flag upside down.

Based on information, the official car with the police number B 1084 SQH was initially shouted at by the drivers for putting the Red and White flag upside down.

The screams of the motorcyclist caught the attention of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Service officers when managing traffic on Ciputat Raya Street.

"When I was controlling traffic, there was a motorcyclist shouting at me, 'sir.. sir, that's a red car with the upside down flag'", said Agus Salim, an officer at the Transportation Department for the Trans-Market Bus Terminal Friday, imitating the information from motorcyclists.

Hearing this, Agus' eyes immediately turned to the car that the motorcyclist had pointed at. Then Agus asked the car coming from Lebak Bulus Street to Pondok Pinang to pull over immediately.

"After the car pulled over, I told the driver that the flag was turned upside down and turned white and red", said Agus.

Agus also witnessed the source of the excitement of motorcyclists. He saw the Red and White flag mounted on the car's roof antenna upside down. When stopped, Agus saw a man sitting casually in the middle seat.

"When the driver got off and removed the overturned flag, the person sitting on the bench was calm and didn't say anything", said Agus.

Then Agus asked the driver to turn the flag upside down to Red and White. However, because many drivers were curious and stopped on the side of the road causing traffic jams, Agus asked the car driver to continue his journey.

Agus admitted that he did not know for sure the identity of the driver of the official car with a red plate.

"I also didn't have time to ask where the official car was from", said Agus.
