Moment Prabowo Witnesses 24 Km Red and White Flag Display: I Think This is a World Record

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto witnessed the unfolding of a 24-kilometer-long Red and White flag in Nagan Raya, Aceh, on Wednesday (11/11/2026), commemorating Hero's Day and setting a record with the Indonesian World Record Museum (MURI) for 2026.

The flag was displayed horizontally along the road, extending from the area in front of Cut Nyak Dhien Airport to the Giok Baitul 'Ala Religious and Educational Tourism Complex.

According to a YouTube broadcast by the Presidential Secretariat, Prabowo observed the flag display from a Maung vehicle.

He watched the community holding up the flag from the airport to the area around the Giok Baitul 'Ala Mosque.

Throughout the journey, Prabowo was seen standing atop the Maung, greeting locals.

Schoolchildren also stood by the roadside holding photos of Prabowo.

The Maung vehicle even paused for Prabowo to shake hands with members of the community participating in the flag display.

Moreover, he took the time to lift and hug several children.

In his speech, Prabowo praised the display of the 24-kilometer-long Red and White flag.

The head of state described the event as a proud achievement and a world record.

Additionally, he highlighted that the event reflects the spirit of unity, nationalism, and the community's love for the homeland.

“I think this is a world record, actually here in Aceh. Perhaps later there will be another district in another part of Indonesia that wants to do 24.5 kilometers. Thank you for the spirit; I can feel the warmth. To be honest, when I visit, I also feel sorry for those who have stood for a long time waiting for me,” said Prabowo during his speech at the inauguration of the Giok Baitul 'Ala Mosque.

After witnessing the flag display, Prabowo also inaugurated the Giok Baitul 'Ala Mosque in Nagan Raya.

The 24-kilometer route holds special significance.

The starting point of the flag display symbolizes one of the gateways into Nagan Raya, while the endpoint represents the center of religious and educational tourism development in the region.

To ensure the success of this event, at least 12,000 core participants and 1,200 reserve participants were needed, bringing the total number of prepared participants to 13,200.
