Rules & Regulation

I personally think that there are a lot of ridiculous rules and regulation in our entertainment and art sector. Sometimes I would laugh my head off talking about it. Those rules and regulation actually restrict the creativity of our artistes. I am not referring to pornography....I am referring to ridiculous examples as follows. They could be the current or the old rules and regulation. I am glad the old ones are history. I hope nobody will repeat it again...let's bury them for good.

1. Supernatural element was banned because they're non-Islamic. I wonder what has happened with the rules now! It's all in the mind of the minister.

2. No Caucasian looks allowed on advertisement. I guess the minister wanted someone who looked like him...ugly!!!

3. No alcohol advertisement. I have no objection but why do I see them these days????

4. Besides four letter words, I believe songs with words such as "cigarette", "sex", "alcohol", etc are not allowed on the radio. Do we need such restriction?? What if the lyric is "we don't need no cigarette!!!"??? Please don't blame the DJs, they're innocent. Trust me, a lot of them don't like the restriction too. Blame the minister and the radio authority.

5. No blues jeans allowed in advertisement. It's considered too Westernise. I didn't realise this until a friend told me. I hope this rule is buried deep down in hell.

6. Long haired men were not allowed on tv. No heavy metal rockers...rockers have to keep their hair short to be on tv. I guess even Jesus was banned

I guess the list will be endless if I don't stop listing them now. I would like to urge those who set the rules and regulation to use their brains wisely and rules & regulation should be consistent. We cannot afford to have a rule added because one minister says so. Remove another rule because the minister says so. Those are not rules and regulation!!! Those are the minister's personal preferences!!!!
