maju -right, but it doesn’t applied on culture, dress code, etc. for instance, Javanese is the biggest
population in Indonesia, but it doesn’t necessary impose the other tribes to wear their clothes right?
wrong analogy. the right one will be if most of javanese want such a law to be imposed, which they do not.
So you do not have a case where a majority want a “javanese clothes law”, unlike the pornography law.
maju- a couple love each other and they are kissing at a beach, or lets even say they are doing French kiss,
and there is a man who are sexually aroused because of that scene – have they violate the law chapter 1?
me:
i think the example is too far, if a person do things like french kissing in public, he/she must be crazy,
drunk or has mental disturbance. why would a normal person do things like that.
definition of normalcy is different across cultures, it might be normal for a french to french kiss in public,
but it is not in muslim/asian society.
I dont think the law require an actual man to get aroused. they will use common sense, and their society’s
common sense on sexuality is much stricter than the west.

Very vague and opened with loop holes….

Maju, Enigma and other intellectualsIn discussion with some legal friends, who have yet to form a full learned opinion on this Law (I will post
comments from Law faculty academics as soon as they become available to me)- it appears there are a
number of ambiguities:
Private viewing or ownership of erotica or porn- especially within context of stable (even Muslim)
marriage
What is strictly defined as obscene, denigrating or repulsive?
Here are some terms very poorly clarified within the Law:
I argue the men prefix connotates commercial or public of the attached root word
Section 4
States: menggandakan, menyebarluaskan, menyiarkan, mengimpor, mengekspor, menawarkan,
memperjualbelikan, menyewakan, atau menyediakan pornografi yang memuat:
All are reasonably clear aside from mebayar? (not covered), and menyediakan is a very abstract word- it is
even hard to describe in Engilsh.
