JAKARTA - The red and white flag failed to be raised by the flag-raising troops (paskibra) at the Sriwedari Stadium, Solo, during the 77th Anniversary Commemoration Ceremony of the Republic of Indonesia, today, Wednesday, August 17. Solo Mayor Gibran Rakabuming apologized because this failure was caused by a technical error.

"Anyway, keep the spirit. Yes, it's a small mistake, I apologize," said Gibran after the ceremony to reporters.

In a video watched on YouTube, the red and white flag failed to be flown by the paskibra at the Sriwedari Stadium, causing the officials and ceremony participants to be disappointed and cry. The reason is that the latch on the rope came off.

"The hook is broken here," said Gibran

Even so, Gibran continues to encourage the paskibra members. Moreover, they had been practicing continuously.

"It's okay. For the younger siblings I have strengthened who have worked hard, practiced day and night, rehearsals several times, but we can't predict an incident like this," he said.

"The important thing is that the paskibra brothers are enthusiastic. The training is no less, technical errors cannot be predicted," continued Gibran.

After the failure of the red and white flag to fly, Gibran called the flag raisers and invited them to greet the invited guests. Some of them cry.

"It's okay, we've been practicing," he said, patting the officer's shoulder who was crying.
