One of Indonesia’s most powerful politicians has warned LGBT people, drugs and promiscuity are running ‘rampant’ and ‘damaging’ the country. Zulkifli Hasan, is the chair of the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR). He was speaking at a Motivation Seminar in a series of Spirit Of Indonesia Roadshows aimed at inspiring young people.
