Wise man say…..

Once upon a time, i was one of ‘anti-indonesian’s songs’, but that was few years back, before i slowly accepted that our brother has beet us with no mercy in the music field. I was very vocal at that time to express my disagreement, until i heard my 1st Indonesian song (Element-Aku Bukan Orang Suci) MTV clip, i began to wonder how creative they were, both music and MTV, compare to ours (same old lame tune, with clip location at construction site, beside highway, car park….). Still, i keep lying to myself that indon songs are no better than us, but, quietly, i began to hear, sing and play indonesian song (secretly), until i declare myself as devout fan of ‘band-indon’. But still, ‘Irwan Syah-Pencinta Wanita’ and ‘Samsons-Kenangan Terindah’ sucks big time, and their songs really gay!!!!

Im sick and tired of the fact that we Malaysians diss our Indonesian brothers flooding our country, Im sick and tired of Malaysians abusing Indonesian maids, but Im really sick and tired of Indonesian music dominating our market now. Almost all major Indo bands have performed and launched their new album and sound over here on our shores. This is proof that we actually love these guys deep down. Lets see, we’ve got Agnes Monica recently, Peter pan, Nidji, Dewa, Padi, etc…Oh not to mention that Inul came by conquering hard with her signature moves!

Ok, so lets just see some facts on the death of our Malaysian music scene:

,

1- We welcome these guys as kings

2- We are trying sooo hard to break into Indonesia

3- They’re material are just so good and their performances are top-notched

4- The winner of a Malaysian reality TV show ala ‘make the band’ is Indonesian, they call themselves ‘The Lima’

5- Most of the Malaysian bands are trying to sound Indonesian

6- We dont have concerts for our local artists and bands anymore, we oly feature Indonesian artist

7- We suddenly feel that the Indonesian accent is sexy and commercial

8- Celcom ( A local Telco) endorsed Peter Pan as one of their Ambassadors

9- Indonesians think our music is crap, which I strongly agree

10- Telcos are starting to view Indonesian workers as a new market segment, so imagine how huge this potential market is

So whats next? commercials in Indonesian slang?
