Golf bogey<\/p>\n
I feel I should correct immediately a number of inaccuracies
\nin your article, Hindus complain over advert, in the March 13,
\n1998 edition.<\/p>\n
The offending picture did not appear in an advertisement, but
\nin an article promoting the game of golf in Bali (The Green
\nRevolution, March 1998 edition of Bali Kini).<\/p>\n
Stating that this was an advertisement implies both complicity
\nand knowledge on the part of Nirwana Bali Resort and The Ritz
\nCarlton Bali, when, in fact, both parties were unaware of its
\ncontent.<\/p>\n
This has already been explained to the Hindu community through
\nthe Council of Hindu Religious Leaders (PHDI) in a meeting which
\nI attended personally, and in letters to all interested parties.
\nI really hope that through this letter this point is clearly and
\nfully understood.<\/p>\n
On behalf of Indo Multi Media, I have already apologized to
\nthe people of Bali for this unfortunate photograph, which was
\ntaken by a freelance photographer with the good intention of
\npromoting the culture of Bali alongside the game of golf.<\/p>\n
Sadly, our normal channels of cross-checking suitability of
\nsuch materials failed in this one case, and an understandable
\nresentment has been vocalized.<\/p>\n
We have now put in place a system whereby PHDI will be given
\neditorial jurisdiction over the contents of Bali Kini to prevent
\nany further inadvertent mistakes.<\/p>\n
