Dear members, i read this sentence in one of the public website belongs to an European. I would like to clarify is this statement is accurate.

Wearing Keris In Java, a man would normally wear three Keris according to his social status: One on the back and one on each side. The one on the left side (the first to be drawn) would be the last acquired or received as a traditional wedding gift from the parents of his bride. The Keris on the back may be tucked into the folds of a sarong or at waist height.
