[edit] Red for human blood?? NO
I don't think this is right. In Indonesian: Merah melambangkan berani, putih melambangkan suci Red represent bravery, white represent holy/spiritual I'll change it. Yes, there is a song called Merah Putih. "Merah Darahku, Putih Tulangku" Red is my blood, white is my bone, but that is not it.--W Tanoto 23:23, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Meaning of the Flag
This section:
Traditionally, most Indonesian has been known to use red and white colors as their sacred colors, mixing the color of sugar (the red color comes from palm-sugar or gula aren) and rice (white in color). Inarguably, until today, both of these are the major components of daily Indonesian cuisine or cooking. Apparently, the Javanese's Majapahit Kingdom also used this concept and designed their flag as red and white (9 strips each).
Seems very wrong. The grammar is a bit off, there are no references, and I will argue that palm sugar isn't a major component of daily Indonesian cuisine.
