JAKARTA - Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Kemlu) Teuku Faizasyah said that his party is waiting for the results of the investigation of the alleged Indonesia Raya song which was parodied by Malaysians.

Currently, Teuku said, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Indonesian Embassy in Malaysia have communicated with the government and relevant authorities in Malaysia regarding this incident.

"Furthermore, the Malaysian government is taking action on what the Indonesian government has conveyed in coordination with this case," Teuku said when confirmed by VOI, Monday, December 28.

Teuku said the Malaysian government was in the process of investigating the video that allegedly insulted Indonesia. This is because this video is claimed to have been uploaded from Malaysia.

"If it turns out that the video was uploaded by a Malaysian citizen, then firm action will be taken based on the applicable law," said Teuku.

Teuku said the Malaysian government strongly condemns any negative provocation that is intended to affect the close bilateral relationship between Malaysia and Indonesia.

For information, the MY Asean Youtube account has uploaded a parody of the Indonesia Raya national anthem. The video depicts the background of the Red and White flag accompanied by the Garuda Pancasila emblem.

This video is accompanied by the singing of someone who changed the arrangement of the song Indonesia Raya with lyrics connoting harassment of Indonesian figures.

The video is about one minute long and was posted about two weeks ago. However, currently Youtube has taken a takedown on this video. When traced, the MY Asean account with the Malaysian flag logo also no longer appears on Youtube.
