The Pasar Malam is conducted to celebrate the 79th year anniversary of the
Sumpah Pemuda, or the Youth Pledge. The pledge was declared on October 28, 1928
by young Indonesian nationalists at a conference in the then-Dutch East Indies.
The Sumpah Pemuda proclaimed three guiding principles:
Satu Nusa (One Homeland) - Indonesia
Satu Bangsa (One Nation) - Indonesia
Satu Bahasa (One Language) - Indonesia
The ideals of the Sumpah Pemuda entailed no tolerance of separatism.
