After takeoff, during the landing gear up procedure, the pilot noted one red light illuminate (nose gear) on the landing gear panel. During the investigation the pilots reported that they recycled the landing gear and the subsequent cockpit indication was that the landing gear was in the up and locked position. The pilots continued the flight to the planned destination Hang Nadim Aiport, Batam. During final approach at Batam, the pilots noted that the red light nose gear indicator was illuminated. The pilot in command (PIC) decided to conduct a go around and hold to perform the emergency checklist to attempt to extend the nose landing gear. After many attempts to extend the landing gear, the nose landing gear red indicator light remain illuminated.
