🇮🇩| The technique of giving color and pattern to a piece of cloth does come from previous civilizations, such as ancient Egyptian civilization, ancient India, and ancient China, even long before those great civilizations were born. But the word "batik" and the philosophical meaning of batik do come from Java, this is proven by the discovery of archaeological evidence, the word "Batik" itself with the philosophy of local wisdom of Indonesia itself is not found in others great civilizations in the world.

It is true that there is no civilization or culture in this world that is not influenced by other cultural or civilizations, but where the process of cultural acculturation occurs, the product of the acculturation comes from. Not all patterned and colored fabrics are called "Batik" ... the word "batik" is exclusively found in Java.

Before that, there were no records of evidence of authentic rendang recipes as we know  today.  The word rendang appears in Sulalatus salatin, a saga which was "supposedly" written by Tun Sri Lanang in Aceh - Indonesia nowadays (there is no physical evidence that this saga was written before the 19th century, it is possible that this is just an oral tradition (the saga cannot be  definite reference A history, because the content is inconsistent depending on who wrote it). "Sagu Rendang" in the Sulalatus Salatin is not the rendang we know today, but a staple food  of the Malaysian peninsula and the Riau Islands people's long time ago made from sago grains. Until now  "Sagu Rendang" still exists and is produced in the Riau Islands and Johor (at that time rice was not their staple food).

 In the Malay edition of the  Amir Hamzah saga ( first appeared in Aceh and then in Malacca, an adaptation  of a Middle Eastern story), in Amir Hamzah saga  contains the words  "merendang", "Kambing rendang", in Amir Hamzah's saga is not the rendang meat we know today, but grilled goat meat, a common Middle Eastern culinary dish.

 Deadliest genocides in Asian history.

It was not listed as a possible deadliest genocide when I verified my sources, but many of you spoke of the Greek Pontus genocide. With further review, it appears that it would be 5th with 600k deaths

 World smallest 🍆 Average..

⚠️The idea that certain ethnic groups, including Asians, have smaller penises is a stereotype and not based on comprehensive scientific evidence. ⚠️Studies on penis size often vary in methods, sample sizes, and population. Additionally, there is significant individual variation within any population.

Factors like genetics, environment, and cultural perceptions may contribute to misconceptions, but it's important to avoid reinforcing harmful stereotypes or assumptions based on race or ethnicity. No valid, large-scale, or consistently replicated research supports claims that one group, including Cambodians or other Asians, universally has a particular penis size compared to others.

 Instant Noodle Brands from Southeast Asia. 

Instant Noodles in Southeast Asia: A Brief History

Instant noodles have become a staple in Southeast Asian diets, offering convenience, affordability, and a familiar taste. Their popularity can be traced back to the mid-20th century, when they were first introduced to the region.

 The concept of instant noodles originated in Japan in the 1950s. Momofuku Ando, a Taiwanese-Japanese inventor, developed the first instant noodle product, "Chicken Ramen," in 1958. The invention of instant noodles coincided with Japan's post-war economic recovery, providing a quick and convenient food solution for a growing population.

The success of instant noodles in Japan led to their introduction to other parts of Asia, including Southeast Asia. Instant noodles quickly gained popularity in Southeast Asian countries due to their affordability and convenience. They were easily adapted to local tastes and preferences, often incorporating regional flavors and ingredients.

 Many Southeast Asian countries developed their own domestic instant noodle brands, catering to specific cultural preferences and dietary needs. Instant noodles became a popular street food item, often served with various toppings and customizations. Instant noodles continue to be a popular choice for busy individuals and students due to their ease of preparation and low cost.

In many Southeast Asian countries, instant noodles have become a cultural icon, often associated with comfort food and nostalgia. Thr instant noodle industry has evolved over the years, offering a wide range of flavors, textures, and nutritional options to cater to diverse consumer preferences.

Batik has been designated as one of Indonesia's intangible cultural heritages by UNESCO since October 2, 2009. Every year, Indonesia celebrates National Batik Day on October 2 as a form of appreciation and pride for this cultural heritage.

 🇮🇩| Comparison of the Palembang songket motif with the detailed motif of the Nandiśvara statue, c.1292.

The existence of Palembang Songket has been known since the days of the Sriwijaya Kingdom and the Palembang Darussalam Sultanate.  Evidence that songket has existed since Srivijaya's heyday can be seen in statues in the Tanah Abang temple complex, Muara Enim Regency, South Sumatra.  At that time, the job of making songket was a part-time business for the native people of Palembang.  Songket existed at the same time as the emergence of the Palembang Darussalam Sultanate (1659-1823).  Historically, the people who had the right and proper to wear songket at that time were kings or sultans and relatives of the palace.

 According to the oral story that developed among the people of Palembang, the beginning of songket cloth came from Chinese traders who brought silk, Indian and Middle Eastern traders brought gold, resulting in the creation of gold-plated songket cloth in the hands of the native people of Palembang.  The existence of the songket cloth tradition in Indonesia is also often associated with the prosperity and glory of the Sriwijaya Kingdom which was centered in Palembang in the 7th-13th centuries.

 The history of " batik" In Malaysia began 1913. 

History shows that Malaysian batik began in Kelantan, located in Lorong Gajah Mati, Kota Bharu. Skrin batik (filtered silk) is believed to have been pioneered by a group of batik makers in Kelantan and the process of making batik using wax began in 1913 in Terengganu.

Batik is a branch of art that shows the subtlety of Malay culture and art. Among the batiks commonly produced are canting batik, applied/block batik, screen batik and rainbow batik.

The motifs of Malaysian batik designs are mostly inspired by nature, such as larat clouds, bamboo shoots, creeping roots, lotus flowers and cempaka flowers.

-----

According to the Oslo Museum of Cultural History, it is known for certain that the Javanese influenced the making of Malay batik both technically and in the development of designs. In the early stages, the Malaysians used wooden blocks to produce textiles that resembled batik. By the late 1920s, Javanese batik makers introduced the use of wax and copper blocks on the east coast of Malaysia.

Commercial production began in the 1960s. The craft has developed its own aesthetics and designs, particularly in Malaysia. The new Malaysian batik is distinctly different from the typical hand-painted Javanese batik. 

Malaysian batik can be found on the east coast of Malaysia such as Kelantan , Terengganu , and Pahang . Batik in Johor clearly shows Javanese and Sumatran influences due to the large Javanese and Sumatran populations in southern Malaysia.
