No ads, please!

From Pikiran Rakyat

We have good reasons to be happy and proud of having the
opportunity to watch private television stations through which we
can widen our vision and outlook in this era of globalization and
sophisticated communications. Though in most cases they have to
compete with the state-owned television.

We are aware of the need for private stations to find sponsors
to support their financial matters in order to offer the best
service to the community. In this case, advertisements aired at
regular intervals are vital for the survival of the TV business.

But we sincerely call on the management concerned not to
insert advertisements when a religious program is being screened,
because religion is not for entertainment. We ask for greater
understanding on the of part the sponsors and other related
parties.
