The two owners, who spent 200 million rupees ($14,000) and traditional Javanese costumes for Alaskan Malamute dogs and human guests, apologized to their compatriots on Wednesday at a mall party in the capital, Jakarta.

The minimum wage in Jakarta is 4.9 million rupees

“We are very sorry and would like to apologize to supporters of Javanese culture and to all Indonesians who were hurt by the incident,” said Indira Ratnasari, owner of the dog Luna. “It was not our intention to insult Indonesian and Javanese cultures,” the online network said in a video on Instagram.

The owner of the jojo dog, Valentine Cahandra, even claimed that he was hosting the celebration to promote Javanese culture. Many Indonesians have previously expressed their dissatisfaction on online networks. “This is a waste of money and a disregard for God,” wrote one Twitter user. Another user wrote that women “spend money unnecessarily” and “should help people in need instead”.

The ostentatious display of wealth is frowned upon in Indonesia and has repeatedly drawn criticism. The gap between high and low incomes is widening in the Southeast Asian country. According to the World Bank, one-tenth of Indonesia’s 270 million population still lives below the poverty line. (afp/medium/dja)
