Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong sparked Indonesian netizen backlash by suggesting wayang kulit, particularly the character Semar, is part of Singapore's Malay culture. Indonesians assert that wayang kulit and Semar originate from Indonesian, specifically Javanese, culture, with academic research supporting its roots in Java and its deep connection to Indonesian spiritual and ethical values.
