Apparently Monas and Menteng have a 100-year age difference. This history is rarely discussed.

Besides Domestic Tourists, foreign visitors also frequent Monas. Isa noted the highest number of Foreign Tourists come from China, with others from Japan, South Korea, Australia, and the United States.

"Foreign tourists included 6 from China, 3 from the UK, 8 from South Korea, and 2 from the US. Total 19 people," stated Isa.
This data confirms Monas remains a tourism magnet during Ramadan for both locals and foreigners experiencing Jakarta's atmosphere from one of Indonesia's most historic landmarks.
