Im sick and tired of the fact that we Malaysians diss our Indonesian brothers flooding our country, Im sick and tired of Malaysians abusing Indonesian maids, but Im really sick and tired of Indonesian music dominating our market now. Almost all major Indo bands have performed and launched their new album and sound over here on our shores. This is proof that we actually love these guys deep down. Lets see, we’ve got Agnes Monica recently, Peter pan, Nidji, and soon Dewa and a few others coming…Oh not to mention that Inul came by conquering hard with her signature moves!

Ok, so lets just see some facts on the death of our Malaysian music scene:

1- We welcome these guys as kings

2- We are trying sooo hard to break into Indonesia

3- They’re material are just so good and their performances are top-notched

4- The winner of a Malaysian reality TV show ala ‘make the band’ is Indonesian, they call themselves ‘The Lima’

5- Most of the Malaysian bands are trying to sound Indonesian

6- We dont have concerts for our local artists and bands anymore, we oly feature Indonesian artist

7- We suddenly feel that the Indonesian accent is sexy and commercial

8- Celcom ( A local Telco) endorsed Peter Pan as one of their Ambassadors

9- Indonesians think our music is crap, which I strongly agree

10- Telcos are starting to view Indonesian workers as a new market segment, so imagine how huge this potential market is

So whats next? commercials in Indonesian slang?
