objective of collecting keris?
Sometime it is not our choice.
Acquiring, keeping and maintaining keris is a responsibility to me though I started out as a silat practitioner, it gradually became what David had said earlier. In the process, I changed my objective and direction a few times like Alan, and now stuck with spiritual responsibility.
This may change when I opt to become "moksa" someday...... (moksa in term of stopping anything to do with keris
)
