Hey dude im from singapore...

Regarding the Indonesia and Malaysia thingy thats been going on, I agree that Reog Ponorogo is from Indonesia. Indonesian people migrate and come to Malaysia. Obviously they bring all their traditional stuff with them ( And that includes Reog and Kuda kepang ).

So there is no need to fight over it now okay?

Hey im a Javanese too.. :D
