Summary
Traditional Culture Expression (TCE) is one of the interesting and developed issues in protecting traditional intellectual properties. Some issues related to Indonesia TCE were observed in the main theatre of Esplanade, Singapore where the Bugis epic contemporary work I La Galigo was performed in 2004.14 Another important example was reported at the end of 2007 when Indonesians were alarmed by the “Rasa Sayange” song played in a Malaysia tourism website under the Truly Asia theme which was used to promote the website.15 These add to the already long list of Indonesian culture claimed by Malaysia since Indonesian batik, handicraft, and wayang have been patented to be used as the country’s brand for Asian display. Some of the country’s traditional batik was commercialized by foreign parties such as the Parang batik motif reported to have been claimed by Malaysia.17 These descriptions showed Indonesia is a multicultural and multiethnic country with a wide TCE used as cultural heritage which needs active protection from going into extinction and to explore its economic benefits for the use of the local economy. It was conducted in Surakarta and Jakarta at the Republic of Indonesia Directorate of Culture Ministry of Education and Culture, and Directorate General of Intellectual Property under the Ministry of Law and Human Rights
