Jakarta: In his post today, Jakartass also deals with the proposed pornography bill in Indonesia. Thanks to his post we have been made aware of another blog, Jiwa Merdeka that is also taking a stand against the proposed legislation. There is more reaction to this in our earlier bulletin.

As Jakartass points out,

"The state has already had several laws, which provide a sufficient legal response to sexual-related and pornography-related crimes. Those laws are the Criminal Code, Law on Press, Law on Broadcasting, Law on National Motion Picture, Law on Children Protection and Law on Domestic Violence.

The members of the House of Representatives should pay more attention to real, pressing problems of poverty, economic uncertainty and education stagnation instead of drafting an absurd law that will adversely affect the integrity of our nation."



Electronposts also has a lot on this issue.
