National Monument (Indonesia) "Gerbang Kemerdekaan" or the Gate of Independence, open slowly while the nationalist "Padamu Negeri" song plays followed by a recording of Sukarno reading the text of the Proclamation. On the southern wall there is a large bronze gold-coated statue of the coat of arms of Indonesia weighing 3.5 tons. On the eastern side is the text of the proclamation in bronze lettering. Originally the eastern side displayed the most sacred Indonesian flag, "Sang Saka Merah Putih", originally raised on 17 August 1945. However, because it is fragile and in poor condition it is no longer displayed. The wall on the
Aji Saka village of Dadapan, found an egg. She put the egg in her "lumbung" (rice barn). After a certain period the egg vanished, instead a snake found in the rice barn. The villagers would like to kill the snake, but the snake said : "I'm the son of Aji Saka, bring me to him". Aji Saka told the snake, that he would be recognized as his son, if he could kill the Bajul Putih in the South Sea. After a long stormy battle which both sides demonstrating physical strength and showing skillful ability of fighting, the snake could kill Bajul Putih.
