‘Rasa Sayang’ belongs to everybody, says minister

PUTRAJAYA: The song Rasa Sayang, which became controversial after Indonesia accused Malaysia of “stealing” it as its own, belongs to everybody in this region, the republic's Culture and Tourism Minister Jero Wachik said. 

However, Indonesia wanted to be told if Malaysia planned to use it on a commercial basis or included the song in its cultural repertoire, he said.
