For the first time, as the red and white flag fluttering national flag of Indonesia, on 17 Agutus 1945 in the yard of the house in Jalan Soekarno East Pegangsaan No. 56, Jakarta. But the history of the origin of the Saka is quite unique.
As the wife of the most popular leaders of the national movement at the time, Mrs. Fatmawati helped sew the flag idea was taken from the banner of Majapahit greatness. Mrs. Fatmawati not make flags at once. Prior to August 16, 1945, he had completed a red and white flag.
However, when shown to a few people, the flag is considered too small. The length of the flag was only about 50 cm. Red and white flag of the new and larger must be immediately made. That same night, after I got home, Mrs Fatmawati open closet. He found a piece of clean white cloth material sheets. But he did not have a red cloth at all.
And lucky when it did, there was a young man named Luke Kastaryo (Later on in the military with the rank of brigadier general), which is the residence of Sukarno. Until finally as told Luke Kastaryo the August 1991 issue of Essence magazine, he then toured where he finally found a red cloth tent being used as a soup shop. Ditebusnya then a price of 500 cents (the price is quite expensive at the time), and submit it to the mother Fatmawati.
Mrs. Fatmawati finally completed a new flag that evening. The size is 276 x 200 cm. This new flag finally flew right August 17, 1945, and became the state flag heritage in the years thereafter.
Due to his old age, the Saka last time flying in 1969 and then rested in the National Museum. Henceforth, the government made a duplicate flag with size 300 x 200 cm.
