Malaysia Claims Bali Island, Indonesian Netizen Reactions
The Malaysian government has previously claimed several of Indonesia’s cultural heritages as their own, with recent examples being the Tor-tor Dance and musical moonlighting Gondang (Nine drum) from the North Sumatran Mandailing people. To make matters worse, the Malaysian government is now upping the ante by claiming Bali Island, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Indonesia, as Malaysia’s as well.
The following post on popular Indonesian online community Kaskus attracted tens of thousands of views and hundreds of comments from Indonesian netizens spanning dozens of pages. One post reached 29 pages of comments before it was finally closed by administrators though another thread remained open…
Unbelievable! Malaysia also claims Bali Island!Malaysia is making trouble once again. After claiming many of Indonesia’s cultures and heritages in the past as theirs, now they also claim Bali Island as part of their tourist area. The Bali provincial government is also upset and intends to clarify this with the Consul General of Malaysia in Jakarta. “We have heard about Bali island being claimed as a tourist destination by the Selangor state in Malaysia. Therefore, we will immediately request clarification from the Malaysian Consulate in Jakarta. If it’s true that Bali island is being claimed by Malaysia, then we ask what is the basis for such a claim” said the Governor of Bali Made Mangku Pastika through his spokesman. “It’s just so weird that suddenly Malaysia is claiming Bali to be part of their country’s tourism area. Why are they claiming it now instead of a long time ago? Why not go ahead and claim all of Java Island as part of their country as well?” said a spokesman for the Governor of Bali. Information regarding Bali island as a Malaysian tourist destination can be accessed on a number of local Malaysian tourism sites such as Travel Journal and Osvaja.net which say the island of Bali is a tourist destination of the State of Selangor, Malaysia. On the Travel Journal site, the location of Bali island is listed as part of the Selangor state of Malaysia. However, no one really knows who is responsible for that travel journal site.
