Striptease

I believe PT Caltex Pacific Indonesia feels cheated by the Bandung singers' entertainment on Oct. 7, 1995 in the commemoration of the company's one billionth barrel of oil produced in the Duri area. The entertainment also included several entertainers from Pekanbaru.

The stage was in the Pokok Jengkol soccer yard and attracted visitors from all walks of life. Most of the singers from Bandung -- none from Pekanbaru -- performed striptease maneuvers by raising one leg, rotating their hips and trying to feel enjoyment with closed eyes. The only difference to a striptease was that they were still wearing something, although very skimpy and transparent.

I don't know what kind of entertainment CPI really tried to give to the public. I am not saying that they cannot enjoy music of that kind, but the show wasn't appropriate. We are obviously Eastern so never make us point out things with our left finger.

All the citizens of the small Duri town spilled out of the soccer yard. The committee accidentally caused shame. Honestly, you were good at the 50th commemoration of independence at the same place presenting the Ekklesia Vocal Group.

So, please be more selective next time.
