Book presentation
Details
In 1994 the political televison talkshow "Perspektif" with the moderator Wimar Witoelar became a hit among viewers. However, the Suharto regime disliked the programe and banned it shortly after. Yet only one month after that "Perspektif" re-emerged again, this time on the radio and in newspapers. To this day a weekly radio program on current or basic political questions is being broadcast and reprinted in several Indonesian newspapers.
Freedom of speech, a key to democracy, is guaranteed in 2005. The publication to be introduced now was supported by KAS and emphasizes the role of the "New Perspective" in building the Indonesian democracy: "In the free Indonesian air the 'New Perspective' spreads its wings!"
