Use proper Indonesian on TV

From Warta Kota

The law on broadcasting has stipulated that the main medium of communication in Indonesian broadcasting should be Bahasa Indonesia. Unfortunately, in many programs for children, teenagers and adults, aired by all TV stations in Indonesia, the language used is not good and proper Indonesian. In short, the language used in many TV programs does not reflect the Indonesian identity.

Therefore it is time that the Indonesian Language Center took action against this tendency and played an active role to ensure that TV programs use good and correct Indonesian, as stipulated by the law on broadcasting.

It is also the job of th Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI) to show some muscle in this respect.
