BMTH live in Jakarta 2024

This time around Ravel gets it right and BMTH (Bring Me The Horizon) are headlining the Nexfest festival in Jakarta which also features Babymetal. In this format there is no seating - which makes for a much more intimate experience - although you do have to arrive really early if you want to pick a spot right up close to the stage.  We arrived about six hours before BMTH were scheduled to start their performance and bought plenty of drinks to stay hydrated in the tropical afternoon heat (mind you, some of those were Iceland vodka mix!) This was a gig I had long been looking forward to - especially after the debacle last year. Not everyone likes BMTH of course. For deathcore fans the band sold out. For metal heads the band is not purist enough. And for the wider mainstream audience, the band is too heavy. You can't please everyone of course but there are few bands in the rock world which can match the sheer emotional velocity of BMTH. To bring metal and even aspects of metalcore t...

Femmy Permatasari

Femmy Permatasari is best known for her starring role in the classic Indonesian skin flick “Ganti Baju”, a film featuring Femmy and five other hot Indonesian models (Rachel Maryan, Shanti, Sarah Azhari, Meggy Megawati and Yosephine Waas).

The film didn’t show at the cinemas first, and was a direct-to-VCD production. But that is hardly surprising. Because these actresses didn’t even know they were making a film! They had actually been secretly filmed through a changing room's two-way mirror, in much the way a hidden spy camera is able to record the action!

The film lasts 30 minutes and sold huge numbers on VCD in the months of April and May in 2003.

But despite being a roaring success, Femmy Permatasari was not impressed.

So along with Shanti, Femmy filed a lawsuit against the film’s “director” Budi Han. He was convicted in the courts, and given a one-year prison sentence.

But still Femmy Permatasari was not satisfied.

And in an interview with Kompas newspaper, she claims that even the death penalty for Budi Han would not have made up for the stress she had suffered:

Seperti apa situasi Anda waktu pertama kali kasus itu muncul?
Untuk saya pribadi, saya telah berkeluarga, beban mental saya sangat berat. Dari keluarga saya, keluarga suami, dari lingkungan anak-anak saya bermain, sampai fisik saya. Saya ke kantor polisi, sampai pagi, saya stress, saya sampai masuk rumah sakit. Besoknya saya muntah-muntah terus, kata dokter saya stress. Saya kena maag, ini karena beban stress yang amat sangat, badan saya drop lima kilo. Saya badannya memang kecil, tambah kurus lagi. Saya sampai menyepi ke vila keluarga sampai sepuluh hari.

Anda menginginkan hukuman macam apa buat Budi Han Cs?
Kalau aku, di Indonesia sudah ada undang-undang (UU), ya yang sesuai dengan UU yang berlaku. Kalau di UU tidak ada hukumnya, ya saya mau apa. Aku pribadi, misalnya Budi Han dihukum seumur hidup pun, kerugian saya belum bisa terbayarkan. Dihukum mati pun nggak bisa kebayar. Saya nggak mau tuntut-tuntut. Sesuai dengan UU yang ada saja.

Arrrh… Poor Femmy. Don’t you just feel sorry for her? Well not really…

And it’s ridiculous for her to claim her reputation was damaged. Cos she doesn’t have a "good girl" reputation in the first place. Well except perhaps as a sexy Indonesian actress who is willing to pose in front of the cameras in a cheap looking dress for a few extra bucks…
