Rasa Sayang or Rasa Sayange (IPA: [rasa sajaŋeː]) is a folk song of the Malay Archipelago sung in Malay. Although no official facts recorded, this song was believed to be created by an Ambonese man, the late Paulus Pea (born in 1907).[citation needed]

Controversy

A controversy erupted in 2007 after the Malaysian Tourism Board released the Rasa Sayang Commercial, an advertisement used to promote Malaysian tourism industry.[citation needed] Indonesians claim that Malaysia unfairly claimed ownership of the song .[1] Some Indonesians have accused Malaysia of heritage theft.[2] because according to Indonesian copyright laws, they proscribe that folklore is one of intellectual property rights that is owned and controlled by the nation-state.[3] Malaysia in return claimed that the song belongs to people of the Malay Archipelago, Malaysians and Indonesians alike.[4]
