Appearance of Racing Coffin in August 17 Parade, Writing on the Shroud Distracts Focus

Dream - The moment of August 17th is a space for people to express their creativity in various competitions. One of the most festive activities during the celebration of Indonesia's Independence Day is the costume parade.

During the August 17th parade, both children and adults take to the streets to showcase various costumes they have prepared.

They also bring decorated and modified vehicles in unusual forms during the parade. One unexpected costume is worn by a man in a TikTok video by @kurniawancibey.

The video initially highlights parade participants marching along the roadside. They appear to be wearing red and white-themed costumes, and there are also children decorating their bicycles.

However, what draws the most attention in the video is a young man riding a modified motorcycle in an unexpected form. 

The motorcycle is transformed into a different vehicle shape, such as a car or an airplane, which is already common, but this young man transforms his motorcycle into the shape of a coffin.

With a frame that closely resembles a real coffin, the motorcycle is wrapped in green fabric and a brown-colored shroud underneath. The young man riding inside it is dressed as a pocong (a ghost in Indonesian folklore) wearing black sunglasses. 

What's unique is that while a tahlil inscription in Arabic is usually found on a coffin, the modified coffin in the video bears the inscription 'azab slot'.

With its loud exhaust sound, the coffin of 'azab slot' attracts even more attention from other road users.

The video mentions that the parade took place in the Pekalongan area, Central Java. The caption of the video says 'troubling coffin'.

After being uploaded, the video quickly went viral on social media and has been viewed over 2.5 million times. Not only that, but the video has also been reposted by other social media accounts and has garnered various responses from netizens in the comment section.
