Indonesia minister says immorality
causes disasters
A government minister has blamed Indonesia's recent string of natural disasters
on people's immorality.Communication and Information Minister Tifatul Sembiring
said that there were many television programmes that destroyed morals.
Therefore, the minister said, natural disasters would continue to occur. His
comments came as he addressed a prayer meeting on Friday in Padang,
Sumatra, which was hit by a powerful earthquake in late September. He
also hit out at rising decadence - proven, he said, by the availability
of Indonesia-made pornographic DVDs in local markets - and called for
tougher laws. According to the Jakarta Globe, his comments
sparked an angry reaction on the internet, particularly among those who
followed him on social networking site Twitter. Why focus on public immorality
when there was so much within the government, one respondent reportedly asked.
More than 1,000 people died in the Padang earthquake, which toppled hundreds of
buildings in and around the city. Padang lies to the south of Aceh province,
which was devastated in the December 2004 Asian tsunami. Indonesia lies across
a series of geological fault-lines and is prone to frequent earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions.
