House of Representatives commission chairman Kemal Azil Stamboel said Wednesday that the Film Censor Institute's (LSF) ban on Balibo, a movie about the death of five Australian journalists in the then East Timor in 1975, was the right decision.
"I believe LSF has its standard to review a movie that bothers our people. The movie could ignite trauma in the society," he said, as quoted by kompas.com.
He added that the movie was not appropriate because the Balibo case investigation was completed years ago.
"The movie is not an effort to build a better relationship between Indonesia and Australia," he said.
House commission I member Tantowi Yahya concurred.
"We always support LSF's decision to ban a movie that attacks our sovereignty,” he said.
