Indonesia's 's president is pressing the country's 234 million people to wear batik clothes to celebrate a triumph over neighbour Malaysia in a poisonous feud over cultural heritage.

"I urge Indonesians wherever they are to wear batik on October 2," Yudhoyono was quoted as saying this week by state news agency Antara while in the United States for the G20 meeting of world leaders.

Yudhoyono said the country should have a "batik party" to let the world know that the art form comes from Indonesia.

Added Thursday , 9/30/09

Several days after the announcement from the Indonesian's President, there were several earthquakes in Padang, West Java.
First was Wednesday afternoon , a powerful quake with a magnitude 7.6 Scale of Richter and the epicenter is only less than 32 miles away from Padang. The second one was on Thursday morning with 7 SR.

Until now at least around 1.100 building and houses already collapsed and most of them flattened int o the ground. There were several fires around the area, as well. Thousands people still trapped under the rubble.
The authority of area already predicted that the victims will be easily reaching thousands number as well.

Padang, a city of 900,000 people, sits on one of the world's most active fault lines along the "ring of fire", where the Indo-Australia plate and the Eurasia tectonic plate grind together to cause frequent tremors and, occasionally, large earthquakes.

Because of this, I want to extend the invitation including the invitation to donate , to the victims of earthquake in Padang, West Sumatera.
You can also send the donation to :
