I listen to the radio and the most ridiculous words are being censored. Words like gun, g-string, drunk, tipsy, mosseltoff, names of various alcoholic drinks, and loads more. You get the picture. But I find this happens only on malay radio stations. English radio stations don't censor as much. Why is that? Do they think that by not letting people hear bad words they won't do bad things? If that's the case, how come there are liquor shops, bars and gambling spots all over the place? Not to mention how easy it is for anyone to buy a pack of cigarettes. But then if they don't censor these words, you can bet some parents will complain that their children are exposed to negativity. Parents, if you don't want your child exposed at all to negativity, don't let them out of the house, don't let them read the papers, don't let them watch TV or listen to radio! The best a parent can do is let it be, but educate the child. These same parents who complain about the bad stuff their kids are being exposed to will most probably tell the child this is not good, that is bad, you shouldn't say this, you shouldn't do that, but not explain to child why. Why this why that. If they don't know why they shouldn't, they won't be able to justify to themselves. Because mom and dad said so is just not a good enough reason. Such restrictions not only won't make the child a better person, they'll probably even make it worse. So the censorship board shouldn't take all the blame, I suppose.
