The Indonesian government has pledged to verify if the use of the popular Balinese Pendet dance in the tourism ads was the latter’s attempt to claim it as their own.

Culture and Tourism Minister Jero Wacik said Malaysia’s tourism ads for “Visit Malaysia Year” with Pendet dance were aired on the Discovery Channel.
