Tarian Pendet bali tradisional dance

Pendet dance which came to blow a big discussion among Indonesian and Malaysian when Malaysia tourism videos had include pendet dance or tarian pendet as part of their promotion of the culture where inherited by Malay in Malaysia. This had being a big issue when some uneducated minded people whose in need for attention had voice out their views by persuade the people that Malaysian had steal the Indonesian culture. If there any patent for tarian pendet by the Indonesian it should be a breach of laws by Malaysian producer, however it’s a matter of shared culture among the Asian where it may came from Indonesia but what can be debate if Malaysia put it into attention and say that it’s also a Malaysian culture? It’s a share culture and not something that can be taken as a national issue that can jeopardize ones nation safety.

The most stupid action by Indonesian is to attack the Malaysian air force plane when they send humanitarian help after the earthquake. It’s not only show their stupidity and lack of rationality also lack of respect for their neighbor who wants to help. Only because of small matter like tarian pendet they want to have war with Malaysia where it does not give any rational reason. The Malaysian air force plane had damage because being throwing with hard objects such as stone and woods, who want to pay for the damages? Indonesian government? Its Malaysian tax payer money and for only reason to help a people who live with a jungle rules. I said... For Malaysian stop helping and let them suffer because they refuse to accept from us.

Malaysian in Indonesia which consist of student and tourist also live in danger when a group of the extremist had voice out to take revenge and will attack any Malaysian with buluh runcing a sharpen bamboo that can be use as a lethal weapon for killing. Because of tarian pendet Malaysian life become endangered in Indonesia land. Malaysia citizen had being warned to be aware of this threat;

the Indonesian media also had played a big role in damaging the situation. they had manipulate the issue to get a higher sale and blow the horn for a clash, Indonesia are well known as their bravery and dare to die spirit (I like to call this as overwhelming stupidity) and this had being fertilize with provocation by the media. Stupid and non rational society always a media victim and this had clearly show the attitude and level of thinking among the Indonesian.

Dikir barat and wayang kulit also a shared cultured and dikir barat which is come from Malaysia are now played by the Malay in Singapore as part of their culture performance and activity. They called it dikir Singapore however the main base for the culture is in Malaysia. It’s nothing to be taken as a reason for a war because culture is shared and evolve. Malaysia doesn’t patent the tarian pendet as a Malaysian owned but it shows that we have it here as how Indonesian have it at their place. Just a simple idea but how come such a people in a large country cannot understand those ideas? Are there no more people that can think wisely in Indonesia? Or they just want to have a free ride to popularize their country on Malaysia tourism videos? Pity them because they are fighting with their own shadow. A little story of tarian pendet where I get from the web I put here,

"Tari Pendet or Pendet Dance is a traditional dance from Bali Indonesia that was originally a dance of religious worship. Tari Pendet is used to play in a Hindu's Temple in Bali. This dance symbolizes the reception on the descent of gods into the earth. Lately, over the development period, the Bali artists change this dance to be a welcome dance although it still contains of sacred-religious symbols"
