Sometime during the 1980's Indonesia began drafting a new criminal code to replace the one set down by the Dutch in 1886.

Now some twenty years later the code is finally nearing completion but contains some rather suprising regulations including criminalizing public kissing, pornography ownership and people living together outside of wedlock.

The most-criticized articles include those on public morality, especially the proposed sanctions for possessing pornography, kissing in public, adultery and de facto couples.

If the code is passed extant, unmarried couples could be penalized with to two years' jail and a maximum fine of Rp 30 million; the article would also give police and officials the power to raid houses of all those they suspected of living together.


If you are looking to find a quiet place for you and your lover my advice is not to trust any elderly antique shopkeepers.

I guess that's why Sean never got back to me on that Indonisian Suicide Girls idea I pitched him on.
