They call me "Red Pandanus Fruit", "Buah Merah", but I am Not the Only Buah Merah

They call me "Red Pandanus Fruit", "Buah Merah", but I am Not the Only Buah Merah. Tomatoe is buah buah, apple has buah merah, wild fruits in the jungle have many fruits in read colour, therefore, just labeling me as "red fruit" is disrespectful of what I can to to human life.

I am not "buah merah" (red fruit), but I am Red Pandanus Fruit, or Buah Pandan Merah, that is Tawy or Morita by the people in the Isle of New Guinea.

Calling me "buah merah" means to me that you do not respect what I can do to human life, and at the same time disregard and disrespect all other fruits in the world the are red in colour. How come you call me "the red fruit", but not the others in red colour as red fruit. Chilli Pepper is a fruit and red in colour, apple also has red-coloured fruit, tomatoe is also a fruit (also regarded vegetable, but it is a fruit) that is red in colour.

From now on, I want everybody who sells me, and who buys me, to call me "Buah Pandan Merah", or simply Tawy. Thank you.

Pandanus conoideus Lam, Tawy of Papua is Not Buah Merah, but Buah Pandan Merah

"Pandanus conoideus Lam, Tawy of Papua is Not Buah Merah, but Buah Pandan Merah", says Jhon Yonathan Kwano repeatedly when talking about the identity of "Tawy" in Papuan culture. The "Tawy" is not separated, and cannot be separated from many Paupan tribes. Jhon says,

We have special Tawy Elders who take care of the Tawy as a fruit all the time. These tribal elders who are responsible for the Tawy is passed down along the blood line, not like "War Elder" or "Meeting Elder" that are passed down to anybody of the next generation whom the spirit has chosen. Why then the elder of Tawy is passed down along the blood line, not like the appointment of elders for other roles within the society in the highlands of New Guinea? 

This is interesting question and the answer is also interesting, but I myself am not allowed to talk about it right now. I myself am not the descendant of the Tawy elder, therefore, to open the secret is not me, and I cannot force anybody to speak about it.

Mr. Kwano says, "The only hope I have is that this secret but miraculous heavenly fruit will finally be able to cure so many modern deadly diseases that human being due to our own stupidity."

Denny Yomaki dan the Red Pandanus Fruit of Papua

Denny Yomaki is the First Person to Delcare that the Red Pandanus Fruit of Papua Has Something in It that is Useful for Human health.

I read his academic paper in early 1990s, says one of my colleagues. He explains enthusiastically that
Denny Yomaki himself was very optimistic and his face was full of energy, full of optimism. I was confused what he was talking about because at that time this fruit was regarded part of the dirt of all the highlanders of West Papua. This fruit was avoided by many students, because it causes everything, uniform, shoes and socks into red.
I did not accept what he was saying because he was just a student at the colleague, learning something new just like me. Public opinion was the this fruit was dirty. Nobody, including myself, was happy about the discovery. 
But only after I Made Budi publicized Denny Yomaki's discovery by claiming it as his own, that changed the view on the fruit. Before it was bad, but now it is a heavenly fruit.
The person who testified about Denny Yomaki is no longer alive. He told me this story almost ten years ago says Yames Kogoya, the person who is sitting and talking about the Red Pandanus Fruit at the front of the PAPUAmart.com minimarket at Jalan Raya Sentani, Hawai No. 05, Sentani, Jayapura, Papua.

By the way, PAPUAmart.com is the only 24-hour minimarket in the capital of Papua Province, and is also fully owned by Papuan local entrepreneur.

I am not Papua's Red Fruit (Buah merah), but I am Papua's Red Pandanus Fruit (Buah Pandan Merah)

I want to openly declare to the world, first of all in this blog that

I am not Papua's Red Fruit (Buah merah), but I am Papua's Red Pandanus Fruit (Buah Pandan Merah)

because I I AM NOT THE ONLY RED FRUIT ON EARTH, but there are many other fruits in red colour around the globe. Therefore, in order to respect the existence of all other red fruits worldwide, I declare myself as the "New Guinea's Red Pandanus Fruit" (Buah Pandan Merah New Guinea).

I am also called Tawy by the Lani people in the Western New Guinea, but currently and wrongly being named as "buah merah" by the Indonesian people. "Morita" is my name by the Papuans in the Eastern part for New Guinea Island or Papua New Guinea.

I am proclaiming myself as "the Red Pandanus Fruit", or "Buah Pandan Merah", or Morita or Tawy.

Red Pandanus Fruit, Tawy, Morita, Muah Pandan Merah, Kuansu

Those who promote "me" in Indonesian Language are referring to me as "buah merah", which literally means "red fruit". The local Lani people call me "Tawy". In Tok Pisin I am called "Morita". My scientific name is "Pandanus conoideus. Lam".

I want to declare that I am all of them, except one, "I am NOT RED FRUIT", but I am "Red Pandanus Fruit", I am not Buah Merah, but I am Buah Pandan Merah. I am one of the red fruits around the world. The are many, so many red fruits, not only me. That is why those who call me just "red fruit" should understand that they are not calling me my name, they are referring to all fruits that are red in colour. If they want to call me by the colour, then they should call me, "The Red Pandanus Fruit". I am from pandan family, but I am red in colour.

From now on, those who want to know about "Pandanus Conoideus Lam" should call me "Red Pandanus", and in Indonesian language should be "Buah Pandan Merah", in Tok Pisin "Morita" and in Lani "Tawy".

The liquied, or red liquid taken from "me" is classified into two types:
1. Red Pandanus Paste; and
2. Red Pandanus Oil.

The Red Pandanus Paste is commonly consumed on daily basis by the Papuan Highlanders. Whereas Red Pandanus Oil is a new inventory in this postmodern era, invented based on the outcome of scientific research that indicated it contains various ingredients are that potential of curing various modern deadly diseases.
