Sex shop in Surabaya?
Sex shop in Surabaya?
From Media Indonesia
It is quite unbelievable that amidst campaigns against social
misbehavior and national efforts to decrease the number of moral
trespassers, or of any other form of crime like rape, drug abuse,
etc., a sex shop in Surabaya, Tunjungan Plaza II, is selling sex
tools.
This is truly regrettable. In liberal countries, the United
States for instance, sex shops are not allowed to operate on
Plazas or shopping areas frequented by the public. They are also
not permitted to display or showcase their ware openly.
Customers themselves are subject to an age limit of 21 years or
older.
As an Eastern nation upholding Eastern morals which may be
different from the Western ones, our business or ethical values
should be maintained and preserved at all times. Sex shops are,
therefore, clearly outside the norms of our nation. It is
regrettable that something like this could have happened. It
reveals a superficial view and a blatant desire to make huge
profits without any concern for possible aftereffects.
We would like to suggest that the local government, in this
case the East Java Provincial Government, confiscates the
respective sex shop's right to operate. More than that, the
authorities should go deeper into examining the company's motives
for opening a sex shop. There might be an ulterior motif to
destroy the nation's morals and mentality, especially those of
the younger generation.
