Malaysian Embassy in Jakarta Condemns Parody of Indonesian Anthem

“The Indonesian National Police are still investigating the Indonesia Raya controversy, at least to determine [the perpetrator’s] location or locus delicti,” said Indonesian National Police spokesman Inspector General Argo Yuwono. “The new Cyber Police unit will handle the investigation.”

The parody of "Indonesia Raya" featured altered, vulgar lyrics to the national anthem, as well as changing the Garuda eagle, the symbol of the Indonesian state, with a chicken. Kompas.com has yet to find the video on YouTube during a search of the website today.
