Inul: A threat to civilization?<\/p>\n
I do not consider myself a fan of either dangdut songs or
\ndance. I was watching an infotainment program on TV, in which
\nRhoma Irama and Camelia Malik were the guests, criticizing Inul,
\nthe dangdut dancer and her colleagues, who perform similar,
\n"sensual goyang dangdut".<\/p>\n
With all due respect, I know there are many TV programs that
\noffer similar displays of sensuality -- by dancers on stage,
\nmovies, talk shows, info programs, etc -- as well as reading
\nmaterial, such as magazines, even newspapers. To those, did you,
\nRhoma and Camelia, react in the same manner? Please don't use
\nreligion as a basis for assessing artistic performance.<\/p>\n
If I'm not mistaken, both Rhoma and Camelia once said, "in the
\nold days, it was difficult for TV stations to accept
\ndangdut ...." If TV did not accept dangdut, it's not the goyang
\n(body movement) that is to blame, and today goyang dangdut is
\nwelcome on any TV station. In fact, it has become an everyday
\nattraction on TV.<\/p>\n
Has anybody done research that leads to the conclusion that
\nsexual abuse or rape reported to the police is attributable to
\ngoyang dangdut? Or rather, is it due to films with a sexual and
\npornographic content?<\/p>\n
I feel Inul and her colleagues have been treated unfairly,
\njust as in the TV commercial, kok jeruk minum jeruk? (how come a
\nprofessional is criticizing a fellow professional?)<\/p>\n
