What bad effect?

I would like to respond to the article under the headline of What bad effect? TV has done a lot, which appeared in Sunday's edition of The Jakarta Post on July 23, 1995.

It reminds me of what Coordinating Minister for Social Affairs Aswar Anas has said, which was really wise. He said that instead of showing violent movies, all TV broadcasts in Indonesia should present more quality programs.

He mentioned this in response to a question about how to control children when they were watching TV while their parents were working.

Of course all parents are worried that their children will act out what they see on TV.

TV stations have the responsibly to show the right programs at the right time, to allow our children to grow-up healthily.
