If the Minister ultimately does allow Zahari 17 Years to be released, for example, next year, could he collect it then? Just curious if they will hold it in storage for him, or if it will be destroyed.

to “3) Does that law has any Jurisdiction on Youtube i.e. the rest of the world? “:

Go Youtube and check, most of those banned videos are all up there.

to “5) mike”:

It makes a difference when the government is only letting us see it on Youtube because they can’t control Youtube. But we cannot “openly” view it offline. Also, when they officially illegalise it, the government can catch you as they please?

Films Act – no filming of police operations or illegal activities.

Films Act – Minister can disallow any film which he finds “not in the public interest”.

Films Act – Police can confiscate filming equipment.

Public Order Act – Police can order you to “move on” and stop filming and destroy what you have filmed.

There. Checkmate.

PAP remains white as snow.

Elites always make the laws to benefit themselves…. That’s how they make themselves look white all the time.

ok.. i didn’t know about this one.

“You may wish to note that Section 40 of the Films Act exempts any film sponsored by the Government from the requirements of the Act.”

So PAP, aka govt, can release any film and not be bound…
