First Serumpun cyber skirmish?


Indonesian blogs are full of reports that an Indonesian hacker called GatCrash has managed to hack the Malaysian website at www.heritage.gov.my. It was apparently retribution for malaysia’s appropriation of Reog Ponorogo.By the time Unspun checked the website looked normal but some Indonesian bloggers seem to think that since I’m from Malaysia I should know whether this is all true. Well, I don’t but I an sure some Malaysian blogging brudder out there can enlighten us.

If true, would this be a first cyber skirmish between both countries?

clipped from planet.terasi.net
Peperangan dengan Malaysia Malingsia sudah dimulai. Seorang hacker dari Indonesia dengan nickname GetCrash berhasil menembus server Malaysia yang beralamat di http://www.heritage.gov.my.

Seperti diketahui di situs itu Kementerian Kebudayaan, Kesenian, dan Warisan Malaysia Malingsia mengklaim sebuah tarian bernama Barongan sebagai bagian dari kebudayaan mereka. Padahal nyata-nyata tarian Barongan itu tidak lebih daripada penjiplakan Reog asal Ponorogo, Jawa Timur.

Situs itu disusupi dengan tiga tuntutan untuk Malaysia Malingsia, yaitu:

  1. Hentikan pencurian kesenian dan kebudayaan dari Indonesia
  2. Adili pelaku kekerasan terhadap WNI yang berada di Malaysia Malingsia
  3. Bubarkan Pasukan Rela

Perang sudah dimulai di dunia maya. Kapan perang yang sesungguhnya akan dilancarkan?

Sampai dengan saat saya menulis entry ini, pihak Malaysia Malingsia belum membenahi situs itu. Screenshoot hasil penelusupan ini bisa dilihat di sini

    Pak Ong, honestly as Indonesian I don’t feel strongly that Indonesian are serumpun with Malaysian malay, and many times I visit malaysia, the malay immigration officer at the malaysian airport has no another question to me except: “mau ape, mau keje ya?”, I have a lots of Malaysian friends (and they’re very friendly to me), none of them are Malaysian malay, they’re Chinese and Indian Malaysian, then it makes me think that Chinese and Indian Malaysian more friendly to Indonesian, is it right?

    You can try to work with chinese malaysian family as a domestic helper. They will torture you to death. There are saying ” never give face to your maid, they’ll take advantage of you later”. If you work for the malay family, you will at least get to watch tv every single afternoon (with the lady). The immigration knows nuts abt tourist, esp when every 10 indonesian, 9.5 are worker who ply their trade here in multiple sector (factory, domestic, construction & even agricultural). Don’t simply judge by your short period of visit to M’sia and thought you know everything. It seams everybody wants war. Good lets have one and set this region back another 50 to 100 years (like Iraq). Thanks to everyone for the effort. God job in creating wealth and stability. From China & India.

    Pak Ong…

    Actually I posted a comment here yesterday but I guess my fragile sat-link didn’t allow it.. Anyway, glad to hear you did some “one-arm” engagements with some heavyweights back in NPC, and probably more than amused at the recent turn of events in Bolehsia, eh?

    Re: your post here.. also been watching this development in the serumpun arena. But judging from the sprouting of dedicated hate-sites like malingsia.com one would think this is more than a skirmish, a full-blown cyber war. Then we got all these moronic ministers of the truly malingsia kind (to borrow a phrase) stoke more fuel to an already raging fire. If this is a “war”, then sadly it’s a war we are destined to lose… Kapan pulangnya ke KL lagi Pak? :0

    Wazeen,
    I am a Malaysian. I have been in and out of Indonesia for couple of times. Have some Indonesian friends too in Malaysia. Have some Indonesian friends too when I was working abroad in other parts of the world. We practically live together since we all are ‘pendatang’ in other countries.

    Have traveled a lot and met immigration officers in various countries. Let me tell you one thing, all most everywhere they are the same. Stern faced most of the time. Asking lots of unnecessary question. Nobody should judge a country based on the immigration officers.

    And I don’t believe we are serumpun, in term of race, Malay Malaysian is Malay, Chinese Malaysian is a Chinese, Indonesian Acehese is an Acehnese, Indonesian Javanese is a Javanese, Indonesian Sundanese is a Sundanese… It is never serumpun. It is just some political crap. Malaysian and Indonesian is never the same. But that does not mean that we all can’t be friend… Friend does not see skin colour, race etc…. Friendship is colour blind because it does not have eye. It only feels the warmth & kindness of another friend.

    Peace.

    @ahaha, I don’t say that I know everything about M’sia just only by my 3 visits there, of course there are a lots of aspects of Malaysia that I don’t know yet, what I want to convey here is that we have a problem that we need to leverage together, and I was there not for work or any other business stuffs, I was invited to speak on some multi faith issues to the muslim community there. Peace

    @2009, of course I don’t judge Malaysia just only by its immigration officers, what I would like to share was, it’s weird that from my 3 visits there I met the same question from the immigration officers, is it coincident or what? I don’t know, and after all what I want to convey is that we have a problem that we need to solve and leverage together, we should discuss the problem with open heart and mind. Peace

    @for all, I’m really sorry if my comment was a bit offensive I didn’t mean to do so.
