Sign language

From Kompas

The translation of the newscast on TV into sign language is a
service for the deaf. They share the need for information with
the rest of the hearing public. Why then, do some people dislike
this service?

In my opinion, this new system is really a great breakthrough
in the nation's history. Indonesia continues to fight
backwardness and ignorance and the use of sign language is a
response to that challenge. Those of us with normal hearing must
thank God for His blessing. In any case, the sign language
translator occupies only a small part of the bottom right hand
corner of the TV screen. I think this a good thing and should be
continued.
