Youth Advancement Monument

The statue was presented by Pertamina for the government of Jakarta to celebrate the 445th anniversary of Jakarta in 1971. The name Pemuda Membangun ("Youth Advancement") was chosen to inspire young people. The design of the statue shows a near naked young man shouting while holding a plate containing a flame above his head, his sinews and muscles strain at full effort. The flaming plate symbolizes youth taking forth light into the future. #jakartacitytour
