o commemorate World Autism Awareness Day, the Jakarta administration has bathed the National Monument (Monas) in Central Jakarta in blue light.
The blue lamps will illuminate the monument until April 30.

The administration once set Monas ablaze with the color orange for a campaign to raise awareness around the problem of violence against women.
