MICA Reply: Review Films Act To Compensate Film-Makers

This is a reply to a proposal I made some weeks ago.

Happiness,
Dharmendra Yadav

Please consider the environment - do you really need to print this?

REPLY FROM PRESS SECRETARY TO MINISTER, MINISTRY OF INFORMATION, COMMUNICATION AND THE ARTS, SINGAPORE, RECEIVED ON 10 MAY 2007

We are an open society with a free flow of ideas and rational discourse on matters of public interest.

Films are banned only in exceptional circumstances when they are inimical to the larger interests of our society.

Consequently, it is not logical to suggest compensating or underwriting the costs of such undesirable productions.

We will continue to review our regulatory framework regularly, taking into consideration the changes in our society resulting from globalisation and new technology.
