President Prabowo Subianto is set to lead a national prayer and remembrance event at Jakarta's National Monument (Monas) on Saturday night. The event, a key part of Indonesia's 81st Independence Day festivities, anticipates around 100,000 attendees from Jakarta and surrounding regions.

Brig. Gen. Dekananto Eko Purwono, Deputy Chief of the Metro Jaya Regional Police, emphasized the event's national significance during a briefing. "This is a national agenda, so it must not be considered a routine or ordinary activity," he stated, highlighting the presence of the President, state officials, and VIP guests.

To ensure security and order, a joint force of over 1,200 personnel from the military, police, and local government will be on duty. Access to Monas will be managed, with public entry and exit points at the east, southeast, and Lapangan Ikada gates, while VIPs will use the west gate.
