enrique's question: Can someone give some details about the national monument of Jakarta? (give a different answer) .

At the centre of the Medan Merdeka square stands the Monas , the national monument a soaring 132-metre marble, bronze and gold torch, built by Soekarno, an important local figure(a revolutionary) in 1962 to symbolize the indomitable spirit of the Indonesian people. You can take a lift up to its top for a city view, from 8am to 5pm for Rp5100.
