TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - House of Representatives (DPR) deputy speaker Azis Syamsuddin on Monday condemned the video insulting the Indonesian national anthem published on the Youtube account 'My Asean' that is said to be owned by a Malaysian citizen.
The House deputy speaker urged the Malaysian Embassy in Indonesia to take ‘concrete actions’ to solve the issue as insulting lyrics in the parodied anthem may potentially cause negative effects towards the bilateral relations between the two countries.
Kuala Lumpur-based media MalayMail on December 27 reported that the Malaysian Embassy in Jakarta has strongly condemned an alleged provocative act through a video that could affect ties between Malaysia and Indonesia.
“The Malaysian Embassy must reveal the actor behind the Indonesia Raya parody that enraged the Indonesian population,” wrote Azis in a statement on December 28.
The DPR deputy speaker has called on both the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) and the Cyber Body and National Encryption Agency (BSSN) to investigate the parody of the Indonesian national anthem.
