Is it true they stole our culture?

Nowadays, we all knows about our rivalry with our closed neighbor country Malaysia is such an endless feud. Whereas, our land is so close with them. It is possible if people said every closed neighboring counties always have some problems. It's like Japan with Korea, South Korea with North Korea, Palestine with Israel, USA with Mexico, others Europe countries and Indonesia with Malaysia. The problems is variant, sometimes about the land, marine area, an island, culture, etc.

In Malaysia and Indonesia cases, Indonesia claimed that Malaysia has stolen Indonesian culture, Indonesian typical foods, languages, islands, and many others. But, Malaysian thought all of it is their stuffs. Unfortunately we have the evidences about what they've stolen from us.

1. The origins of melayu is not from Malaysia, In the fact melayu has come from Lombok, Indonesia.
2. The culture that Indonesian claimed as their culture is truly Indonesian culture, unfortunately Indonesian Government has failed to promote their own culture, because of this Malaysia has a chance to stole it and promote it as their.
3. Rupiah's value is cheaper than Ringgit's value, this affair make Malaysian have a great opportunity to claimed.
4. In north borneo areas, people of Indonesian got distress to get comestibles, so they using Malaysian import stuffs to use.

Indeed, Indonesian Government hasn't effectively observed to their own. So Malaysian using it as their chances to developing their nation. But as Indonesian, we always hope that Indonesian could be more evolving than Malaysia in economical, development, performance, tourism, and many others good points.
