        "summary": "An Indonesian MP from Commission VI has highlighted President Prabowo Subianto's strong commitment to the creative economy through his Astacita vision and initiatives like establishing a dedicated ministry and funding for intellectual property-based projects. This comes in response to the legal case against videographer Amsal Christy Sitepu in North Sumatra, where the prosecutor undervalued his creative services at zero rupiah, which the MP deems an insult to the profession and a setback to national efforts to boost the sector. The MP calls for Amsal's full exoneration and hopes parliamentary discussions will yield substantive justice, emphasising the shift towards a creative economy.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Member of Commission VI of the Indonesian House of\nRepresentatives, Kawendra Lukistian, has emphasised that President\nPrabowo Subianto, through his Astacita vision and mission, places\nsignificant attention on the creative economy (ekraf), in response to\nthe case affecting a videographer from a village project in Karo\nRegency, North Sumatra, namely Amsal Christy Sitepu.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that President Prabowo has been striving to improve the\nwelfare of creative economy practitioners, from separating it into its\nown ministry, funding creative economy based on intellectual property,\nto issuing a government regulation (PP) related to it. However, he views\nthe process against Amsal as an insult to creative economy\npractitioners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Amsal Sitepu is prosecuted in this manner, it has the potential\nto harm our President\u2019s spirit in promoting the creative economy. We\u2019re\nin the midst of this enthusiasm, yet something like this happens?\u201d said\nKawendra during a meeting on the case with Commission III of the House\nof Representatives at the parliamentary complex in Jakarta on\nMonday.<\/p>\n<p>The General Chairman of the National Creative Economy Movement\n(Gekrafs) conveyed that the Chairman of the Gekrafs High Council, Sufmi\nDasco Ahmad, has stated that Indonesia\u2019s and the world\u2019s economy is\nshifting from extractive to creative economy. This means, he said, the\npotential of the ekraf sector is enormous.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fighters and practitioners must be appreciated, not harmed. This\nis being wronged again. Could we suspect that this is a sacrifice?\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, he still respects the ongoing judicial process against\nAmsal. On the other hand, he emphasised that the prosecutor\u2019s assumption\nregarding the value of creative idea services, editing, and dubbing at\nonly Rp0 is foolishness and an insult to the profession.<\/p>\n<p>On behalf of creative economy and industry practitioners, he wishes\nfor Amsal to be fully freed from legal entanglements. He hopes that the\nmeeting held by Commission III of the House of Representatives regarding\nAmsal can produce substantive justice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe fight on, stay spirited, fellow creative economy fighters\nthroughout Indonesia,\u201d said Kawendra.<\/p>",
