JAKARTA, 21 July 2008 - Vice-President Jusuf Kalla has stressed that the Movie Sensor Board is still needed. According to the vice-President, the creativity and the right to make movies will still be limited by human rights regulations of other people and the regulations as they exist in the 1945 Constitution of Indonesia. "The message from the vice-President is that the Movie Sensor Board is still very much needed," said the head of the board, Titie Said after a meeting with Kalla at the presidential palace in Jakarta earlier today.

According to Titie, the Indonesian people should not be victims of the rights to create movies. The board therefore should always have to check on the creativity of others. "There are still (cultural) values in Indonesia. It doesn't matter what is on tv, it can not just be broadcast directly," said the vice-director of the board, Rae Supit, which joined Titie during the meeting.
