~~~Indonesian Minister Rejects Malaysian Pendet Apology
Culture and Tourism Minister Jero Wacik is not letting his Malaysian counterpart off the hook — despite an apology for something he didn’t do. Tensions erupted this week over images of the iconic Balinese pendet dance that appeared in a Discovery TV ad widely misunderstood to be from a tourism promotion for Malaysia. Many editorials and news stories continue to report — erroneously — that the offending clip appeared in a Malaysian government advertisement despite an apology from Discovery’s Singapore office, which immediately pulled the ad for its “Enigmatic Malaysia” documentary series. Wacik said the Malaysian tourism minister sent an official letter to him responding to his “strong warning” over the pendet kerfuffle. He said the minister responded by saying the Malaysian government was not responsible because the ad was created by a private production house. ~~~
