"Dream – Six years ago, the name Joni became the talk of the town. The boy from East Nusa Tenggara went viral after climbing the flagpole during the 73rd Independence Day ceremony of Indonesia. Joni became the talk of the town due to his heroic act of climbing the 23-meter high pole without any aids after the flag hook malfunctioned. Joni's bravery caught attention. At that time, he was even invited by President Joko Widodo to the Palace. He was also promised a chance to join the military."
"Now Joni is starting to grow up. Recently, he took the entrance test for the Indonesian National Army (TNI) Army (AD). However, his dream of becoming a public servant must be postponed because he did not pass the test."
"When it went viral, the owner of the real name Yohanes Ande Kala Marcal was still sitting in junior high school."
"Due to that bravery, he received appreciation from various parties."
"Joni was invited to the State Palace to meet President Joko Widodo and receive an award."
"The brave action at that time also made Hotman Paris give appreciation. Joni was also given a sum of money with a quite fantastic amount."
"Joni also received appreciation from local officials, one of which was the renovation of his parents' house located in Silawan Village, Tasifeto Barat District, Belu, NTT."
Recently, Joni was known to have just completed his high school education. He also tried to apply to the Army.
"However, his dream of becoming a civil servant had to be postponed due to not passing the test because of his height."
"Even so, Joni expressed that he will continue to practice and will rejoin the selection next year. He will keep striving to make his family proud."
