Broadcast regulators in Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara, have admonished two Jakarta-based TV stations over live performances by dangdut singer Julia Perez on popular music shows.

Badrun A.M., the head of the provincial office of the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPID), said on Wednesday that both RCTI and SCTV were censured for letting Julia, popularly known as Jupe, perform her controversial song "Jupe Paling Suka 69" ("Jupe Likes 69 the Best").

"That song is gaudy and inappropriate for children and teenagers," Badrun said. The song was one of 10 that were banned by the KPID last month after the regulator deemed them "pornographic."
