W. Jakarta plans laser disc inventory

The West Jakarta Office of the Ministry of Information will
hold a mayoralty-wide inventory at shops selling and renting
laser discs.

Muhayat, the head of the West Jakarta information office, said
yesterday the inventory is aimed at preventing the distribution
of uncensored films.

Muhayat said the 1992 information law stipulates that any film
produced on laser discs is subject to censorship before it can be
shown, rented or sold.

Seymon Sinulingga, the head of the Jakarta Office of the
Ministry of Information, said earlier that many imported films
produced on laser discs on sale in the city's shops should not be
in circulation because they have not been censored by the film
censor board yet. (arf)
