Legal certainty needed
Legal certainty needed
From Koran Tempo
Legal certainty is yet to be established in Indonesia, because money can still bend the law to serve certain interests.
I'm very disappointed to hear that press freedom will again be curbed in Indonesia. The press is a source of information for the people to learn about their country's state of affairs. If the press is controlled and curbed, the public will be made ignorant about the condition of the country.
The Press Law must be enforced, and the Supreme Court must reasonably weigh cases related to the freedom of the press.
There are still many cases in which the law has been violated. It is really a shame if our people continue to be fooled by erroneous legal practices.
For their part, journalists must always report the condition of this country as it is.
