It was trying to recall if there is anything called ‘Batik Padang’ or ‘Batik Tapanuli’. The Busy Brain was wondering, as listening to the morning news in the car, about batik. Logically, Malaysian cultures would be similar to those from Sumatra instead of from East Java. Why is Malaysia keep claiming our cuture as theirs? And they keep using the word “Saudara Serumpun”?. He said, all the elements from Tari Barongan are taken from reog Ponorogo and there is no way that the Malay culture has the Dadak Merak and the big fan feather attached on top of it (this weighs about 50 kgs). No wonder Ahmad Tobroni, who is a reog artist, was upset.
After the Rasa Sayange claimed by our beloved neighbour Malaysia, now it is the local East Java dance Reog Ponorogo.
