Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Economy and Creative Affairs (Kemenekraf) has highlighted the potential for developing the folktale “Timun Mas” into intellectual property (IP).

Director of Visual Arts and Performing Arts at the Ministry of Economy and Creative Affairs/Creative Economy Agency, Dadam Mahdar, stated that the launch of the theme song “Timun Mas in Wonderland” demonstrates the potential for developing folktales into intellectual property.
