Aura Kasih pities Malaysia 

Singer Aura Kasih said she could not help feeling sorry for Malaysia for claiming Indonesian culture as its own, as shown in its controversial tourism ad that features the popular Balinese welcoming dance, Pendet.

“Maybe Malaysia does not have something to be proud of so it has to claim other country’s works as its own,”

“I feel sorry for Malaysia for having to claim other country’s works [as theirs].”

“This proves that our country is much better than theirs. This should also make the government and the people love our culture even more.”
