kissing to be illegal in indonesia

"Recent disasters like the Aceh tsunami, landslides and earthquakes were "a warning from God" about Indonesia's reform-era slide towards immorality.

"This bill is a part of our efforts to strengthen the moral fibre of the nation," Mr Kaplale told the Jakarta Post.

Indonesia's parliament, which contains a large bloc of Isl-amic-based MPs, wants to amend the criminal code to outlaw anything that could offend decency or "arouse lust" in children."

That includes husbands and wives kissing in public, unmarried couples living together and hom-osexual sex, along with any flash of thighs, bottoms or breasts, punishable by up to 10 years in jail and heavy fines of more than $A100,000."
