(Source: Arney 1987). Then it was innovated to many beautiful designs like Tjanting. Yes we should all play our part in promoting this art and take them to the next levelanna@tmour.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16270002425971865482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274201250664293226.post-29798230478688051152007-10-02T12:10:00.000+08:002007-10-02T12:10:00.000+08:00Hi there.

To me, Batik Indonesia is unique by itself, and so is Batik Malaysia, though I must say they are both very different. And that makes them both special!<BR/><BR/>Let's not compare - why should we? I love both Batik Indonesia, and Batik Malaysia... and I've personally met a few batik artists from your country and even the management of the Batik body there.<BR/><BR/>We should work together in promoting batik as one :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08147376627075497777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274201250664293226.post-6927212211555921052007-09-30T19:31:00.000+08:002007-09-30T19:31:00.000+08:00Batik is Javanese, not Malay. 'Batik' is Javanese ...Batik is Javanese, not Malay. 'Batik' is Javanese langauge ('ngoko' strata term) meaning to 'detik'- to draw dots or 'dotted' It would be more intellectually honest if you correctly attribute the origins of Batik to Java- as Malaysia is merely a British colonial construct and its' territories former Javanese & Thai vasselages moreover Malay are truly Mingang/Batak ethnicity. <BR/>But proof is tha Javaneese batil remains far superior to all.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Malay or 'boso Melayu' is Batavia slang patois that is why so many Javanese low-strata words such as (pun)apa(pun), anda, etc are used.<BR/><BR/>Please do not be a typical Malay abnd plagiarise your larger, more powerful and more cultured neighbour.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
