Why?

Yes, but slightly different in size.
Indonesia's official flag measurement is 2,5:1,5. Common measurement used by other nation flags around the world.
Monaco's official flag measurement is 2:1,5. I read it in an encyclopedia, but I couldn't find it in any Monaco's official website.
An answer above has explained the story behind Indonesia's nation flag. I've tried to search the background story of Monaco's flag for years, but I also could'nt find it until now. I think Monaco has red-white flag because the Principality's coat of arms has red-white checked pattern in it.
Additional info:
- Singapore also has red-white flag with measurement 2,5:1,5. But it has a symbol in the top left corner of the red part.
- Poland has a white-red flag with measurement 2,5:1,5. Once in Olympic 1996, few Polish badminton supporters sit in Indonesian supporter crowd. Both side brought own flag. Ha ha ha, u can imagine the odd. The Indonesian could be angry to see the nation flag turned upside down, but knowing the counterparts were Polishes, the Indonesians welcomed them. ;)

No, their colors are the same, and same pattern, but if you look closely Monaco's flag is about 3/4 the length of Indonesia's flag.

Almost.... the same horizontal red and white, but the Monaco flag has slightly higher panels.
The story of Indonesian flag is that when Indonesia threw out the Dutch after some 300 years of colonial rule, the nationalists tore off the blue part of the Dutch red-white-blue.
