Contexto cultural
This proverb is central to the Minangkabau concept of 'merantau' (migrating for success). Young men are encouraged to leave home but must always respect the customs of their new land to succeed. In Java, this aligns with the value of 'Empan Papan'—knowing one's place and behaving appropriately according to the social context and location. For visitors to Bali, this proverb is often invoked regarding 'Desa, Kala, Patra' (Place, Time, Context), which dictates how rituals and social interactions should occur. It is used as a unifying slogan to encourage Indonesians from different islands to live harmoniously when they move to other parts of the country (transmigration).

Don't over-formalize
