    Rasa Sayang" (pronounced [ˈrasa saˈjaŋ], literally "loving feeling") or "Rasa Sayange" (in
    Indonesia) is an Indonesian folk song[1][2][3][4] popular in Indonesia, Malaysia andSingapore. The basis
    of "Rasa Sayang" is similar to Dondang Sayang and other Malay folk songs, which take their form
    from the pantun, a traditional ethnic Malay poetic form.[5]

    Some in Indonesia[who?] have claimed that the song originated in the Maluku Islands,[6] but such claims
    are disputed,[who?] as the standard Malay language itself and the tradition ofpantun exchange are
    unknown to the Maluku Islands. Some of the Indonesians and Malaysians have once fought
    because of this
