The Indonesian national flag
is called "Sang Saka Merah Putih." Merah-Poetih simply
means Red-White. The official name however is Sang Saka, Lofty
Bicolor. Red represents the human blood, standing for the corporeal
or concrete, white represents the spiritual. Together they are
a pair, like the life on earth: day and night; man and wife;
creation and individual.
