The Indonesian World Record Museum held its MURI Award Night this week to acknowledge new records created by Indonesians both nationally and around the world.
Let's go to Jakarta to find out what sort of achievements were recognized.
Indonesia's World Record Museum likes superlatives and, for the past 21 years, the museum has been handing out awards for Indonesia's biggest, best, rarest, and most unusual.
The MURI awards, as they are known, were presented at an awards night held at the Mall of Indonesia in Jakarta on Tuesday.
Two of Indonesia's sporting heroes -- men's doubles badminton champions Markis Kido and Hendra Setiawan -- received an award for winning five championships: the National Championship, Sea Games, Asian Games, World Games and Olympic Games.
Other MURI awards went to inventors and creators: such as the inventor who worked out how to convert used cooking oil to manufacture bio-diesel; the inventor of a pottery-making technique which uses cow dung; the creator of a sawdust doll that comes with grass seed that can grow; the creator of a traditional Indonesian musical instrument computer software "Virtual Gamelan"; the creator of a water purification robot; and the inventor of a batik technique using wool.
A total of 25 MURI awards were handed out at the awards night.
The MURI awards were initiated by the founder of the Indonesian World Record Museum, Jaya Suprana, on January 27, 1990. Since then, at least 4,700 awards have been handed out for national and international records.
