This story is about a sex scandal which has caused great controversy in the world's largest muslim nation, which traditionally has conservative attitudes toward sexuality. The scandal involves pop star Ariel and TV presenter Luna Maya, who have been charged under the country's anti pornography laws. The affair has stimulated debate over regulation of the internet and attitudes to sex in this muslim country of over 200 million.
Indonesia is a morally conservative country and so this scandal has upset certain sections of society who fear a general degradation of morals in the country. In fact, many public demonstrations have broken out condeming the celebrities' actions as having a negative influence on the younger generation.
While many younger Indonesians are developing a more modern and relaxed stance toward morality, older Indonesians are eager to maintain a modern traditional and strict approach to morality.
