This is good news for the people in Indonesia. Finally a proof that tells about the “Rasa Sayange” song as Indonesian original song comes out from “tempo” newspaper dated 10 October 2007. I feel that this news must be spread widely so everybody in the world could now it.A national printing company “Lokananta” in Solo found an archive of recorded “Rasa sayange” song. Roektiningsih the head of Lokannta said that the song was recorded on 15 August 1962 as a souvenir for Asian Games (SEA GAMES) IV on Jakarta. At the cover of the record there is a line saying “Souvenir from Indonesia, for ‘the fourth Asian Games”. The song was sang by more than one people in a disk with others songs such as Sorak-sorak Bergembira, O Ina ni Keke and Sengko Sengko Dainang. The song duration was 2 min 40 second. And according to Roektiningsih the song was recorded and copied by the order of Indonesian President which was Ir.Soekarno to the minister of information R.Maladi. And still according to Roektiningsih the master reel recording is still save in there with the registration number 253.
A staff from the minister of tourism, art and culture Jordi Pariaman meet with the head of Lokananta to ask for this evidence, and he said that with this evidence the ministry will make some legal action to Malaysia who uses the “Rasa sayange” song as their tourism jingle.
Well I think this is very good, all the truth finally will come up. If you are a country who said to have a big variety of culture why don’t you use your own art and culture to get the attention of the world tourism then using Indonesian culture? Please remember that we all do love peace but if someone trying to steal from us we won’t be quiet about it. Still this info is open to anyone who have another info about this. It is not for a fight. but it is to know the important truth in order to keep the relation between both country in a good way.Peace everyone :)
This is good news for the people in

Obor,
I think you should read these articles:
We've lost that loving feeling
Whither the feeling of love?
Malaysia has never claimed ownership for the song, neither did we "steal" it. This is an accusation that has been wrongly put forth by the Indonesian since day 1 of this ridiculous squabble. By using the song, we are not denying anyone else from using the song, are we? Kalau kalian mau guna the song, silakan.
The Rasa Sayang song has always been a part of Malay culture in Malaysia (and the rest of the Nusantara region), so how can you tell us that we are not using our "own art and culture to get the attention of the world tourism than using Indonesian culture?"
Do you know how big the Malay civilization is? It's surely larger than Malaysia, it also encompasses Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia, Philippines and there are even Malays in Africa.
If you want to talk about "jiplakan," Indonesian culture is largely based from the Indians, betul tak? :)
But if Indonesia still wants to pursue this silly matter to the International Courts, then they should. Let the circus begin.
