"Indonesian Batik is unique and very special. So, I think no need to contradict batik, stamp, or print, "said Obin.

Indeed there are encouraging developments in the case of current batik consumption. When used for batik is only subject to certain events, today expanded its territory. Batik is also often modified by any other motive for everyday wear.

Deputy Governor Fauzi Bowo said, in Jakarta alone many people using batik not only for clothing, but also home decor. Batik is also used for ceremonies, funerals, birthdays, even the office uniform.

This year, Malaysia and even promote batik to a number of countries including France, England and the United States.

In fact, as recognized Sulaiman, Malaysia batik who were originally from the area and Kelantan Trenggano actually greatly influenced Indonesian batik, especially from Cirebon and Pekalongan. Batik new even known in Malaysia in the 1920s and made a new industry in the 1950s. "In the 1960s there onto the new Malaysian identity," said Sulaiman.

More ironically, in fact new to the canting of Malaysia since the 1970s and immediately fell in 1985 because there is no innovation in design and coloring. "Currently, Malaysia has risen. We combine traditional and contemporary motifs, "explained Solomon.

Batik is now popular again everywhere. There batik Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, China, India, even South Africa. However, what exactly batik, people sometimes still debating. Is decorative patterns and the use of canting is important, also debated.

According to Jasmine, batik makers should have to go back to basics. Ancient ornamentation like points, ukel, and the line must also be maintained. People who understand batik should be able to tell that behind it there is a tale of batik and philosophy.

Ironically, people who rarely have an opportunity to understand batik spread knowledge about batik. If there is a batik exhibition abroad, who come mostly batik merchant who speak more on price and commercial value.

Batik Iwan is an icon for Indonesia, as well as herbal or woodcraft. Therefore, batik should always be upheld, respected, and placed on an international level as a feature of Indonesian culture. Batik not only as an art to wear, but also for decoration of gamelan and wayang.

"The weakness of people will not be visible when he wears batik, especially the traditional batik. That looks very powerful. That's why I can live and experience a period of six presidents of Indonesia. Anywhere, we will be richer by batik, "said Iwan.

For Sam, no need to dispute the origins of batik. Especially for ASEAN, and even Asia cooperation should be mobilized to continue to promote batik. For example by making the Central Javanese batik motifs on the fabric or motif sari from Bangladesh Cinde on top of woven fabrics from India, and so on.
