GP promotes/encourages thinking out of the box. With thinking out of the box comes questions and criticisms, if you are going to make such opinions illegal, why even bother making us think outside the box. <BR/>Alternatively, they might want to consider removing the entire topic of media and censorship all together. Maybe that way life would be easier for everyone involved.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09131173805679856993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14448002.post-81826429805077280692007-02-25T23:19:00.000+08:002007-02-25T23:19:00.000+08:00Hmmm... whoa, that's a lot of banned stuff.

I heard about a number of these bans when I was just a kid and later on as an adult though I don't know of the others. <BR/><BR/>Singapore's still quite disturbing when it comes to treating its' citizens and it shows, too, in how we treat one another.

Eg Naked Lunch was formerly banned but now you can find it in Kino. Basically the company is allowed to exercise judgement on what is allowed unless someone decides to complain or somehow the MDA notices n disapproves. However, the library is far more conservative (not tt i agree with this policy) in that it tends to not want to push the boundaries. More anal readership perhaps?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14448002.post-34799213788019550352007-02-22T16:28:00.000+08:002007-02-22T16:28:00.000+08:00I drop by your page from time to time, sometimes I...I drop by your page from time to time, sometimes I jump over from SQ21 and such.<BR/><BR/>Anyway this is a good summary of the censorship incidents in recent years,even though I hardly keep track of them, like erm, what is new?<BR/><BR/>I have more issues with selective censorship in fact, like the banning of Formula 17. It is far less sexually explicit than films like Mysterious Skin. I think the authorities just don't like the idea of gay people having fun and living happily ever after.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02740213180423322220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14448002.post-12684653367810374782007-02-22T16:08:00.000+08:002007-02-22T16:08:00.000+08:00your list deserves to go on Wikipedia :)http://en....your list deserves to go on Wikipedia :)<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_SingaporeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14448002.post-19687774140246632932007-02-22T16:04:00.000+08:002007-02-22T16:04:00.000+08:00Hey Anonymous, thanks for the link.

I'll put the link together with my main entry.<BR/><BR/>My focus here is slightly different, though - right now, I'm piqued by the censorship of writers and artists (including journalists, bloggers and creators of all media). So I've deleted the comment into which you pasted the entire contents of your own webpage.<BR/><BR/>I do want other people to leave me comments, and it's a little intimidating to do that after a big data-dump like yours. I hope you're okay if I reference incidents chronicled on your page in an update of the list.<BR/><BR/>Hope you don't think I'm censoring you. If you do, ah well. I ain't perfect. :)Ng Yi-Shenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18175656890555470042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14448002.post-2946308283435975032007-02-22T11:00:00.000+08:002007-02-22T11:00:00.000+08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14448002.post-42530282362907122982007-02-22T10:59:00.000+08:002007-02-22T10:59:00.000+08:00More here ...http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Sg_Revi...More here ...<BR/><BR/>http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Sg_Review/message/2270Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14448002.post-61048358730014885772007-02-22T01:24:00.000+08:002007-02-22T01:24:00.000+08:00Yay!
