Candidates for Indonesian President announced before the legislative elections

Some political experts from the National Institute of Sciences (LIPI) suggested that political parties announce candidates for president and vice president before the legislative elections.

Syamsudin Haris LIPI researcher believes it is a short period of time between the legislative and presidential elections that did not give enough time for voters to learn about the candidates. After the legislative elections, people should take time to get to know the candidates, said Syamsudin during the hearing with a special team of the President and Vice Presidential Election Regulation Drafting office in Parliament yesterday.

Another LIPI researcher, Dewi Fortuna Anwar, said the extra time will also increase voting for political parties in the legislative elections. If the political party nominates someone that people want, they can get many votes, he said.

Sri Yanuarti of the Indonesian Association of Political Science suggests for a presidential candidate to announce a list of ministers of the candidates before the presidential election. The idea is to give more information to voters to select candidates.

Experts also suggest an election regulation for a public debate for the candidates. Syamsudin said, criminalization of the candidates might be those who refuse to a public debate.

Agus Hermanto, a member of a special team for the presidential election Drafting responded positively to this suggestion. Although not yet approved, a pair of candidates must be announced before the general elections, he said.

"We pledged our commitment and APJI CPI to block sites in the negative," he said after the launch of broadband Learning Center at the Al-Akbar, Surabaya, last Friday.

This is a response to the concern of religious figures to Internet-based information technology at places of worship in East Java. They worry that their supporters will misuse of the Internet for pornographic sites.

Nuh said three methods for closing content sites negative. Firstly, the dissemination to the public and also to leave behind the software to block sites.

Secondly, the block of the international network with a direct connection through a special software. The network will only be connected to the network within the country. "If it does not work, there will be a third method, which is the central blockade directly from the sites that we consider not guaranteed."

According to the Director of Software and Information Systems, Loly Amalia, the guideline for blocking sites sexual violence and plans to be completed in April-May. This guideline was established as a ministerial regulation.

The main consideration of this policy is the possibility of a bad influence on children. "Children are now the main target of paedophilia over the Internet," said Tempo yesterday. Another type of site to be blocked is a site of violence. For example a site that teaches how to make a bomb. "A cruel and violent sites, especially those that have potential for harm to the nation, must be seen".

At first, the content of the Internet is limited only by ethics. Now, the government makes a firm move. Loly said that the mechanism of this limitation will be implemented through the observation phase in which there will be a verification of rape, warning, and the blockade. Special Teams will be established to monitor and follow up on complaints from the community.
