@Nik23 : You said “And of course a Sex education book is definitely destroying your values. Correct?”

I haven’t read this sex education book. But if it is written by someone who hold atheism ideology then it’s a problem for me. This book is intended for children right ? That’s the problem …

It can be that there is an “agenda” behind this book …… Don’t be too naïve and say “ .. oh it’s just a book about where the baby comes from …”

@Nik23:

-> If other people lifestyle is not harmful to us then it’s fine. If it’s harmful and you bring it here … then it’s no longer fine …

-> My society is also tired to see all harmful things brought in and promoted by you all …

-> It’s not about my personal like or dislike. It’s about protecting my society from intrusion of harmful things from outside … Please try understand that my society wants to protect our own value.

Please tell me about which values the people from outside are destroying?

And also tell me, which values you as Indonesians are destroying by your self?

Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia has banned a nearly 40-year-old sex education book written by a British author following complaints by Muslim activists that it is obscene.

The Home Ministry says that Peter Mayle's "Where Did I Come From?" contains "elements that undermine societal morals and public interests."

The book contains cartoons that narrate the reproductive process. It was first published in 1973 and is listed on some international websites on books as being intended for children between 4 and 8 years old.

Members of the youth wing of Malaysia's ruling party who recently noticed it at a bookstore complained last week.

The Home Ministry said in a statement Wednesday that people caught distributing the book could be jailed three years.
