salam bunga sapasang,
Dear Mas Yana , recently I have heard that you plan to release a booh entitled
The secrets of silat .It concerns me that after 25 years of training and teaching Silat PD that someone irespective of their rank in PD would consider not only to offer information about PD to persons outside of our organization but also to profit from such an exercise ,admittedly your other books may be helpful as an introduction to our unique world , but a book about the secrets seems to be going to far ,especially when I have yet to meet a pandekar that would ever dream of such a thing and usually hold such information in reserve to be given to students that have been loyal to PD and are ready to recieve such lessons .If any person where to wright such a book , maybe it is best from a person of higher authority than ourselves.By not coferring with other instructors worldwide about your intentions does tend to have a taint of arrogance about it. PD is not yours to sell or reveal to the wider public in such a manner unless, and I think I would be correct in saying , You had been instructed to do so directly from Pusat in Surabaya.I do not intend to assasinate your character but humbly ask that you consider the feelings of other Instructors who also hold PD in high regard . As I hope you are well aware , our aim is to become nothing not something.I also hope that all profits from your book are forwarded to pusat , after all I think they must must have all intellectual copyrights to such information. I await your response.Thanking you
