'TVRI''s ads programs

From Rakyat Merdeka

Allow me as a good citizen to provide the following to the national television station, TVRI, a communications means that unifies the nation:

* The recent 10-day annual session of the People's Consultative Assembly, which cost more than Rp 20 billion and has done little to improve the state's economic and security condition, has been widely covered by TVRI.

* TVRI -- and private TV stations -- must air more programs conducive to national unity and better understanding of the Unity in Diversity concept. (Please air public service ads on condoms and coral reefs along with these programs.)

* TVRI must make sure that no commercials will be inserted into national news program and religious teaching programs. Wait until these program finish and then air the commercials.

* TVRI -- and also private TV stations -- must frequently air reports on the poor, the old, the handicapped, street urchins and orphans -- now easily found on the roads -- so that our government officials pay attention to their suffering.
