JAKARTA, Aug. 5 -- Why is the Indonesian government planning to ban people from flying a flag from a popular anime?

The pirate flag flown by the Straw Hats Pirates from the anime One Piece has been going viral in Indonesia and it all started from.angry truck drivers.

Anger at policy

With the country's national day in August, it has been a long-held practice for logistics and truck drivers to fly the Indonesian flag.

However, drivers are choosing to fly the One Piece flag instead as a show of dissatisfaction with the current government.

Much of it stems from Indonesia's new Zero ODOL policy, ODOL meaning over-dimension and overloaded trucks in a bid to improve road safety as well as address damage caused by said trucks.
