Your comments on the government's move to withdraw a circular requiring foreign journalists to report their activities to all levels of the government because it was deemed too confusing for the public:
Home Minister Tjahyo Kumolo already offered an apology to President Joko ' Jokowi ' Widodo and said that the circular was not intended to put journalist's under surveillance.

Yes, the whole country should be totally open to foreign media; especially when the people are oppressed by their own government mercilessly. Such coverage is necessary to get the attention of UN headquarters.
