Thanks Alan! April will be here soon.

Regarding Indonesia and Malaysia, there had been some tension recently, and over who originally came up with what food and cultural performance. Some sort of "intellectual property" dispute I guess.

G'day Alan,

Thanks for your explanation. No apologies required actually. Its just that some people may take things differently and ideas can have a varying impact coming from a different person. When it is published in the world wide web the effect can spread quite fast.

As for the friction between Malaysia and Indonesia, I am sure that all this provocation is cunningly created for the benefit of a small number of people at the expense of others. Indeed for us it is not a light issue.

For me, I take my Indonesian neighbors as brothers.

Again, thank you Alan for you explanation and I'm sure that others will understand what you meant.

Rasdan

Yes indeed Rasdan, the content and intent of words can vary with the perception of both the user of those words, and he who hears or reads them.
