There is an interesting story in Detik online today regarding the Playboy Indonesia (PI) which just shifted its office from Indonesian capital Jakarta to Hindu-dominated and tourism-destination province of Bali. Community leaderships rejects the Playboy to have an office there! And the reason is more interesting: they dont want Bali to be branded as a porn-loving island!
Bali dignitaries who voiced their reservation over PI are mostly the big wigs including Head of Bali tourism I Gede Nurjaya, Head of Religious affairs I Gusti Made Ngurah, and Head of Bali Culture Nyoman Nikayana, Head of Hotel and Restaurant union Cokorde Ardana Sukawati, and from academicians are Prof. Dr. Putra Agung and I Dewa Ngurah Swastha. All are member of Pemerhati Bali (Bali Observer).
Mr. Swastha said that PI does not suit the Balinese culture and society and therefore will not bring any benefit and it’s against the teaching of Hindu religion and social life of Balinese who based their philosophical life to Tri Hita Karana.
Made Ngurah said that the name Playboy is identical with pornography. While Nurjaya is concern over the content of PI will be similar to that of Playboy published in the US and elsewhere.
