Agree with Unspun that finally, there’s are some positive comments.
So far, everything I heard from friends visiting Indonesia are good.

At last at this thread people are talking to people rather than assuming everyone is like their goverment.

I admit I never knew Rasa Sayange was from Maluku although I sang it everyday when I learnt it. I also like Burung Kakak Tua, this I was told from Indonesia.

There are always praises for Indonesian worker with their fine skills in construction, too bad they cost as expensive as a Malaysian workers now but mostly worth it.

I’m still thrilled that Indonesia is rich in tales & legends. Many stories I heard in childhood were Indonesians and always facinated by them.

You see, when our nenek moyang tells their tales, they forgot or didn’t mention it’s origin assuming that their little cucu-cicik remembers their roots thus linked the origin, i.e Bugis tales, Minangs tales, Acheh tales etc. Also, you don’t expect a young non-malay kid like me would ask the nenek which ethnic she was.

Even from buku cerita that tales and legends starts with “Long long time ago” or “Dalam zaman terdahulu”and many left out where the event took place.

So most would assume it’s from Nusantara or Kepulauan Melayu since that they were told in Malay/Indonesian and people starts to leaves out the details. Some people may know it but not everyone.

So please, don’t say we stole the song. We are sharing many similiar cultures and even the Malaysian Chinese promotes this song to Taiwan. If there’s no borders between Indonesia and Malaysia, this issue wouldn’t arise, doesn’t it?

Vinnci really really very durable. I have my first Vinnci like 3 years ago and the stuff are still wearable up untill now. If i bought sandals or shoes in Indonesia, they only last about a month in my feet :)
What i dont like about Indonesia? its how the importers outrageously triple the original price when they sell it here. for Malaysians living in jakarta, I am sure you know what I mean.

I bought some audio tapes which cost only RM3 each from their roadside stalls. They are still playable today. Original tapes I got here locally, for which I paid paid RM12-RM15, have all kaput in half that time. They do produce good quality products.

I love Malaysian’s LRT coz we don’t have one :D I like how Malaysia build their infrastructures and maintain it. Plus, I have very kind Malaysian friends who would do just about anything to please me.

However, this Rasa Sayange thing really have hurt and disappointed me. Because ‘family’shouldn’t do this to each other. Maybe Malaysian Government could pick other song that is less controversial and not hurting their sibling’s feeling.

It’s not even about the song. IMHO, it’s about the broken hearted Indonesian towards Malaysian Attitude.

Well, the scenery is superb, and the originality of the food and the taste, oh man.. Nasi Padang, Sunda food ohhh dah la bulan puasa.. adoh… Tourism should do very well in Indonesia if they behave like the Thais (in fact they can be even better).

Malaysia, well its well organise but the arrogant of its people might drive away the tourist (even the local ones). Although the fusion of food and culture is unknown to other country, they lack the originality (becoming more and more like Australia).
