Indonesia gets a truly great revised Criminal Code. I like especially the part about black magic and any other kind of witchcraft (only if it can be proven ot be a fact of course) which indeed should be severely prosecuted but also that white magic is seen as a legal activity. Apart of course of controlling other serious social and moral troubles as for example cohabiting couples and their dirty offspring (truly disgusting isn't it?)
The government is screwing up Soekarno's splendid vision of Pancasila, turning it into a distorted religious manifesto.
The same as they screwed up religious freedom by mandating that you MUST belong to one of only 6 religions.
When will this country's so-called 'leaders' understand that mandating morality to conform with their primitive views will not only never work, but is the hallmark of all autocratic theocracies?
I think it's an important and major step forward into the 7th century (oops ... I meant to write 21st century but somehow something's wrong there).
