ndonesian founding father and first president Sukarno has made his way to Madame Tussauds Hong Kong.
Dressed in his trademark white military uniform displaying the colorful military ribbons, his wax figure wears a peci, a traditional black cap, and sports his friendly smile as he meets and greets the people of Hong Kong.
Guests of Madame Tussauds Hong Kong can get up close to this influential leader and bear witness to his wisdom that has inspired so many people.
'It is a great honor to host the new statue of [first] president Sukarno, who has had a profound influence on the development of, not only Indonesia, but the Asia region as a whole,' says Kelly Mak, the general manager of Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, in a press statement.
To ensure the wax figure's precision, the sculptors went through an intricate research process, including gathering information from Sukarno's family and watching hours of video footage.
