West Aceh –
Photo showing Red and white flag installed upside down fluttering in one of the offices in Aceh Barat went viral. The West Aceh Regency Government also gave an explanation.
Reported from Between, Wednesday (18/8/2021), Head of the Regional Library and Archives Office of West Aceh, Tarfin, said the incident of the upside down of the Red and White flag being installed in the local office yard was an unintentional incident.
“We confirm that the incident is fluttering Red and white flag in the courtyard of this office because of the negligence of the night watch officer, because when the flag was installed, it was suspected that the officer was still sleepy,” said Tarfin.
He said the night guard went straight home without taking a closer look at the condition of the flag. The incident, said Tarfin, was allegedly recorded by residents and spread through social media.
According to him, the incident occurred on Thursday (12/8). Tarfin emphasized that he had warned the night guard to be more careful when installing the Red and White flag in the morning.
He said the inverted flag was immediately lowered and raised again by other officers as appropriate. He claimed to have reported the incident to the local regional leadership.
“The incident of the upside down of the Red and White flag is also not related to the 76th Anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Indonesia,” said Tarfin.
He emphasized that the incident was purely the negligence of the night guard who was still sleepy. The incident of flying the flag upside down in the yard of the Regional Library and Archives Office of West Aceh Regency became a concern because it was circulating on social media.
