So today, we once again reinforce the culture of “Don’t like it, Ban it”. No thanks to pressure from the Malaysian Ultra-Conservatives whose wet dream is nothing less than making EVERY-DAMNED-THING-THEY-DON’T-LIKE illegal.
These are the people who have clout because most Malays who don’t agree with them do not dare speak up and speak out. The reality is that in Malaysia, turning 18 means nothing more than being liable for prosecution and persecution.
FYI I am not a fan of Sugarbook, but as I understand it’s a willing-party kinda deal. Adulthood is about making choices, and taking responsibility for the consequences of your choices. But no… these conservatives wanting to “protect the younger generation” is about CONTROL.
They want to CONTROL what you cannot or can do/think/read/say. In other words, these conservatives are about exerting control over everyone’s lives.

Ultra-Conservatism will be the death of this nation. Mark my words. It’s not a matter of if anymore, but when...

0/ You can thank @yoongkhean for this. Here’s my “How to NOT Get Lost In Publika” guide, over a short thread. FYI I operated our gallery from Publika for the better part of 9 years.

The guide begins in the next tweet...
@yoongkhean 1/ The first thing to know is that there are FOUR (4) blocks: A,B,C, and D in Solaris Dutamas overall. Publika occupies blocks B & C, and part of A - these are the OFFICIAL parts of Publika. But for the sake of simplicity, we’ll just call it all Publika (actually Solaris Dutamas)
@yoongkhean 2/ Each of the four parallel blocks are sub-divided into 4 or 5 sections. Hence, A1-A4 (A5 is where White Box / Black Box are), B1-B4, C1-C5 and D1 to D5. Blocks A & B / C & D hv foot bridges that link btw them. A & B linked on Level G3 (2 bridges), while C & D on G4 (3 bridges)

Yes, funding for the arts and the creative industry is important. But it doesn’t have to all be direct government funding.

IMHO: the thing is we DON’T have a long-term plan to develop the creative industry, only ad-hoc measures put together.

And it’s not rocket science, either
As someone involved in one sector of the creative industry, the biggest problem I see impeding its growth - even bigger than funding - is the lack of appreciation for the arts, and how little value the arts and things creative.

I know it’s an unpleasant truth, but...
… until and unless we accept this as a root cause, simply throwing money at the problem is NOT going to advance the creative industry.

It’s not an impossible problem to solve, but neither is this problem solvable in the short term.

If there’s a silver lining to Saifuddin Abdullah’s #FINASFUBAR it’s the general public’s realization that the FINAS Act is as relevant to the 21st century as a 56K dialup modem is relevant to today's Internet experience.

Read the act here: agc.gov.my/agcportal/uplo…

[Cont.]
The act was enacted and gazetted in 1981. For those of you not born yet then, in 1981 there was no Astro and all you had was RTM TV1 & TV2 to entertain you on television.

The act was drafted to facilitate the development of Malaysia’s film industry (let’s not go there)

[Cont.]
So yeah, the act is archaic, to put it mildly. But it’s still an active law.

It defines “film” to include "feature films, short films, short subject films, trailers, documentaries, advertising filmlets and any recording on material of any kind…”

Do watch the video, which I did earlier. A few observations:

1. True, the AJ video focus piece did not cover ALL aspects of Malaysia's handling of COVID-19. But it was a FOCUS piece on the alleged mistreatment of illegal immigrants, not an in-depth COVID-19 in MY documentary
2. About blocking comments - the YouTube posting by AJ initially did allow comments but was closed down AFTER being spammed by thousands of abusive comments. The rebuttal video gives the impression that the comments weren’t allowed from the get-go.
3. Govt’s lack of response from AJ for clarification/comments - the line of reasoning is the same as what some cybertroopers have been stating, that the Govt. was too busy handling COVID-19. Fair enough, but as we had seen there were several unnecessary photo-ops that happened..

Apakah guna prinsip2 kalau tidak ada matlamatnya?

50 tahun dahulu pada hari ini satu visi telah dilancarkan. Ianya dipanggil RUKUNEGARA.

Visi ini mengandungi dua bahagian: Matlamat2 dan Prinsip2 utk mencapai Matlamat2 tersebut.
Yang sering disebutkan, dilaungkan, adalah 5 prinsip tersebut. Malangnya yang jarang sekali disebutkan adalah MATLAMAT Rukunegara.

Apakah matlamat2nya?
1. Mencapai perpaduan yang lebih erat dalam kalangan seluruh masyarakat
2. Memelihara cara hidup demokratik
3. Mencipta satu masyarakat yang adil di mana kemakmuran negara akan dapat dinikmati secara adil dan saksama

Dalam kicauan2 saya, seringkali digunakan istilah “fascist” atau “fascism” (dlm B. Inggeris), yakni FASISME .

Tapi apakah sebenarnya fahaman FASISME dan mengapakah istilah ini sering saya kaitkan dgn situasi politik masakini?

[ini adalah benenang]
FASISME adalah fahaman nasionalis esktrim aliran kanan yang berlandaskan sifat autoritarian yg mutlak, yg sentiasa mengungkitkan adanya “musuh” yg harus dilupuskan. Selalunya pihak yg tidak sehaluan dilabel sebagai “Musuh” yg harus ditentang.
Matlamat FASISME adalah menyeragamkan masyarakat, dari segi pemikiran/ideologi, kepercayaan, dan kadang-kala juga dari segi komposisi fizikal (dalam konteks Malaysia, bangsa & agama).

Sesiapa yg tak setuju atau menyokong ideologi ini sering di kategorikan sebagai “musuh"
