Pendet Dance is from Indonesia not Malaysia


Malaysia claimed Indonesian culture "Pendet Dance", Bali (to be listed on their visit year ads). Previously, Malaysia had claimed "Angklung", "reog Ponorogo", "Batik", "Hombo Batu", and "Folaya Dance".

Pendet
is a traditional Balinese dance, in which offerings are made to purify the temple or theater as a prelude to ceremonies or other dances. Pendet is typically performed by young girls, carrying bowls of flower petals, handfuls of which are cast into the air at various times in the dance. Pendet can be thought of as a dance of greeting, to welcome the audience and invite spirits to enjoy a performance. (source from Wikipedia)

I think Indonesia Government must care about it. Malaysia need culture extenses, because cultures is one of the best tool to be used as international diplomation.
Malaysia know that they are lack of cultures, so they look their neighbor's culture then claim it as theirs. Malaysia uses Indonesian cultures for benefits, and Indonesian government don't care/concern about it.

Not only Indonesia government have to take care about it, but also the peoples.
My message for Indonesia, "Don't let other countries claim your culture as theirs".
In my opinion Indonesia should stop diplomatic link with Malaysia if they claim Indonesian culture as theirs.
