Media must fight pornography

From Pikiran Rakyat

I greatly appreciate the courage of the Minister of Religious Affairs to join the fight against pornography. His statement that the Ministry of Religious Affairs and the Indonesian Council of Ulemas will draft an anti-pornography bill, as published in Pikiran Rakyat of April 1, is really encouraging.

I, therefore, call on all sections of society to jointly take stern measures against all forms of pornography and be brave enough to stand up to all media outlets still publishing or broadcasting sexually suggestive pictures, something which the government and the public should pay serious attention to. We don't want to see our country collapse as adultery, rape, sexual harassment, abortion and other deviant acts become widespread due to pornography.
