We will never have enough time to discuss about Indonesian cultures. Everybody knows that Indonesia has different cultures and languages. There are Tari Kecak from Bali and Tari Saman from Aceh, for example. And the music instruments are so various as well, like Java, who's well-known for gamelan. Since there are so many, some countries are trying to steal our traditional cultures.
This report is maybe quite ordinary. I'm pretty sure much of you have heard about this, but most people who read similar reports don't really think about it. They just read the article and forget about it. Well, I have to admit, I was included to those people.
Malaysia has been trying to steal our Tari Pendet, admitting that dance has been theirs. They also try to steal our traditional music from West Java -- angklung. They tried to steal Batik as well, but the world is finally admitting that batik is from Indonesia.
The point is, there are countries who try to steal our cultures. This wouldn't happen if we pay attention and proud of our cultures. Other countries wouldn't dare stealing our cultures. So, I think we have to try to care more about our own cultures, and be proud about them.
