The media has recently reported on groups that both support and oppose the disbandment of some organizations, stemming from the Palangkaraya people’s movement in Central Kalimantan that rejected the establishment of a local chapter of hard-line group Islam Defenders Front (FPI). The FPI is a notorious hard-line group known for its violent crackdowns on nightclubs and massage parlors, which it deems “sinful places.” Some community groups in several regions, including Jakarta, followed suit and staged “Indonesia without FPI” protests last month. Forum Nusantara said that in the multidimensional crisis in Indonesia, the role of media supposed to provide information instead of developing public opinion through what they claimed as ‘unobjective’ articles.
