BUDAYA INDONESIA DI KLAIM

 Indonesia Yang merupakan salah satu Negara terbesar di Asia, tentunya memiliki beraneka ragam adat dan budaya di masing-masing wilayah. Sudah terlalu banyak seni dan budaya milik Indonesia yang  dicuri dan diklaim sebagai bagian dari budaya Malaysia. Sebelumnya Malaysia mengklaim motif kain songket Palembang sebagai hasil karyanya, lalu wayang kulit Indonesia yang muncul dalam iklan kebudayaan Malaysia, dan yang baru-baru ini adalah klaim Malaysia terhadap Tari Pendet milik masyarakat Bali. Hal ini tentu saja akan semakin membuat hubungan Indonesia dan Malaysia semakin memanas.

Hingga saat ini, Pemerintah Indonesia belum ada langkah yang serius dalam menyikapi masalah pencurian budaya ini.  Antara lain dengan meminta Malaysia segera meralat segala bentuk klaim budaya Indonesia sebagai budayanya serta meminta maaf kepada bangsa Indonesia. Jika tidak, Pemerintah jangan ragu untuk membawa kasus ini ke Mahkamah Internasional, karena rakyat pasti akan mendukung. Jika kasus ini terus menerus terjadi, bagaimana nasib budaya Indonesia? Karya seni dan budaya harus dijaga dan dilestarikan, bukan untuk diperjual belikan kepada pihak manapun. Semoga Pemerintah dapat segera bertindak untuk menyelamatkan kesenian dan kebudayaan Indonesia yang telah diwariskan oleh para leluhur bangsa ini.

Namun tentu saja, kita sebagai bangsa yang beradab, jika kita ingin menempuh jalur hukum, maka kita tetap harus memperhatikan tata krama dan kaidah-kaidah hukum internasional. Kita tidak boleh bertindak gegabah atau anarkis, misalnya dengan melakukan aksi sweeping kepada warga Malaysia yang menetap di negara kita. Karena hal tersebut hanya akan menambah perseteruan dan justru bisa memperburuk citra negara kita di dunia internasional.

Sebagai warga negara yang baik khususnya para generasi muda, seharusnya belajar tentang budaya dalam negeri jangan hanya belajar budaya asing dan melupakan budaya asing.
