Pornography in Indonesia
I really think religion and government should be separated. The more i think about it, the stronger i have the feeling that religion is a poison to the society once it’s forced implemented. Indonesia, my beloved country, is obviously being over acted on preventing people from “exposing” their parts of body. Why would they care about what people wear, when the system is sickly corrupted? It pisses me off. Do they think by preventing people from wearing minimum clothes would help them combat corruption?
Yes according to the Jakarta post if you’re caught exposing parts of you body, which are:thighs, hips, breasts and navel, you would be either punished by paying fine Rp 200 million (US$21,000) or jailed. And you know what, i think it’s discrimination? Only women would expose those parts of body. Even worst, this issue is already covered by existing laws and the Criminal Code. Unbelievable how stupid people can be. Look, this gonna kill our traditional culture as argued by the Jakarta post.
As Indonesian, i can understand where it comes from, but it’s because they are not open minded enough and thought it would be easier to rule by declaring the flag of religion. It would scare off people eventually. But don’t you think they should’ve looked at other religions perspectives as well, instead of using the mask of one religion only? I thought Indonesia acknowledged 5 religions (at least)?
Addition to the article, it’s also strictly forbidden to kiss in a public, living together before marriage and “attractive” dance movements. They must be joking me.
