The Taptoe event held on Saturday evening at the André Kamperveenstadion was met with overwhelming enthusiasm from the audience. The demonstrations by special military units were particularly impressive, showcasing tactics for clearing hostile territories and neutralizing the fictional terrorist Pata-Alata, who was portrayed as invincible due to ‘special protection.’ The event also emphasized discipline within the ranks, with a scene depicting the arrest of a soldier who had violently robbed his ex-girlfriend of a necklace he had previously gifted her. The Taptoe is part of the celebrations marking 50 years of Srefidensi on November 25. The stadium was filled to capacity, with attendees arriving hours before the start. A military armored vehicle was stationed at the main entrance, and non-operational heavy weapons were displayed along the walkways, attracting eager photographers. The military band provided a musical backdrop, blending traditional marches with popular tunes, much to the audience’s delight. First Lieutenant Giovanni van Kust, the event’s spokesperson, expressed satisfaction with the turnout and positive reception. The event was opened and closed by Defense Minister Uraiqit Ramsaran, who energized the crowd with chants of ‘Morale, high! Sranan na loktu fu alla!’
