JAKARTA - The Chairman of the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI) Center, Ubaidillah, gave a unique analogy regarding the working relationship between his party and the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI). He said that collaboration in monitoring television broadcasts during the holy month of Ramadan was like a harmonious marriage bond.
Ubaidillah made the statement at the Expose Results of Monitoring Ramadan Broadcast 1447 H event held by the Information, Communication, and Digital Commission (Infokomdigi) of the MUI together with KPI at the Buya Hamka Hall, MUI Office, Central Jakarta, Thursday, March 5.
Strategic Collaboration for 20 Years
Ubaidillah revealed that this synergy is not new, but rather a long-standing commitment that has been maintained for almost two decades.
"This collaboration between KPI and MUI has become a very harmonious marriage because it has been running for years," said Ubaidillah in front of the figures and media crew.
According to him, this cooperation feels even more special in the midst of the challenges of the times, especially in strengthening community literacy and content oversight in the increasingly massive digital era.
Maintaining the Morality and Substance of Da'wah
Furthermore, Ubaidillah emphasized that the role of MUI is very crucial as a moral compass for Indonesian broadcasts. This is aimed at ensuring that the dakwah content that reaches the community is truly rahmatan lil alamin.
He analogized the division of roles of these two institutions poetically:
"If the KPI is the gatekeeper of regulation, then MUI is the guardian of the substance. Thank you for this collaboration and the hard work of the monitoring team which is a field of charity for all of us," he said.
The presence of Important Figures
The event to expose the results of this monitoring was also attended by a number of important figures, including:

Karni (Wasekjen MUI for Infokomdigi) Prof. Gun Gun Heryanto (Deputy Chairman of the MUI Infokomdigi Commission)This monitoring report is expected to serve as a reference for broadcasting institutions to continue to improve the quality of religious content, not only in terms of technical rules, but also the depth of the meaning of the sharia.
