np.polri.go.id - Jakarta. A viral Facebook post claiming President Prabowo Subianto designated August 28, 2026, as a joint holiday, known locally as libur bersama, to commemorate the August 2025 riots has been confirmed as false.
Fact-checking analysis by turnbackhoax.id and official government records confirm that no credible news outlets or state announcements support the social media claim.
According to the official Joint Ministerial Decree published on setneg.go.id, the only official public holidays in August 2026 are Independence Day on 17 August 2026 and the Prophet Muhammad's Birthday on 25 August 2026.
