Riyadi Suparno The Jakarta Post Jakarta | Thu 08/27/2009 12:52 PM | Headlines We Indonesians are simply overreacting in our response to Malaysia's use of the Balinese Pendet dance in promotional TV spots.. Diponegoro University (Undip) one of Indonesia's leading institutes of higher learning has stopped admitting Malaysian students for the 2009-2010 academic year in an expression of "nationalism".. Undip rector Susilo Wibowo said Tuesday as quoted by Antara after attending a ceremony to mark the induction of new students. But we don't know the real reasons behind it.. Why then are we so angry whenever Malaysia uses our cultural heritage including the Pendet batik and wayang in their tourism campaigns? In reality though Malaysia has never claimed the Pendet as their dance batik as their craft or wayang as their performance
