Rasa Sayange Petition

Rasa Sayang song is a traditional song from Indonesia. It's originally come from Maluku, and it's an old folk song.




Recently, Malaysian Tourism Board has taken the song and claimed as their own heritage song, and even change the words of the song to portray malaysian lifestyle.









We as an Indonesian people can not stand this unlawful event and hereby request that Malaysia Tourism Board and the government of Malaysia to remove the campaign from their website and their national and international broadcast immediately, and to appologize to the people of Indonesia for using one of their most treasured culture song.









We seek the good responsibility from the Malaysian government and to show a good sportmanship by calling out all the campaign and publicly announce an appology to the world for using a heritage song from Indonesia and claim it as Malaysian intelectual property.
