          Indeed, the way I see censorship now has changed after doing the group project. If it doesnt this blog wont even exist and i will get 0 mark

           Initially, I was not really aware of 'censorship'. No offence but, what I know is that - our media are constantly censored, sometimes in a reasonable way but sometimes in a ridiculous way. If not mistaken, our beloved country has the strictest censorship rules in the world (probably). Yes, I do admit that inappropriate content such as swearing, violence (especially scenes which contain gross figures such as blood), and porn should be censored.  but who doesnt like por  Yet, some censorship done by our authorities is just...not that acceptable. For example, the movie, 'Beauty and the Beast', is not allowed to be in the cinema due to the reason of 'containing gay scenes'. Why should you censor it? I can be sure that nobody will change him or herself to a homosexual person just by watching the scenes, will them?

          It cannot be denied that I kinda hate censorship thing because I think it is hardly fair - some unknown people censored or removed things which they themselves think you should not watch or see. Why should it be so? We ourselves for sure can determine what we want to watch! If we thing some scenes are pleasant, we ourselves will skip it or even close our eyes in the cinema!

          Anyway, now, I think censorship isn't a bad thing, at least not utterly a bad thing. Just like what Fahmi Reza said when we interviewed him, censorship somehow can help the censored things to become even more well-known. When asked how he knows if his artworks are effective or not, Fahmi replied, 'If it is not effective, the authorities won't even bother me. Just because they are effective, they tried to censor them.' As the saying goes, 'the more you resist, the more it persists.' Just because the authorities censored Fahmi's work, the more the public wanted to know about the censored work. Also, if i weren't for censorship, I guess nobody will know the name 'Fahmi Reza'. He's got famous because of being charged, arrested and jailed.

          Actually, my perception of censorship was already shown in the short drama during our screening of MMC documentary - censorship takes place in everywhere. It can happen in your office, your school, the street outside your home and even in your home. In your office, your boss censors and controls you. During your school time, your lecturers controlled you and limited what you can or cannot do in the class. In the street outside your home, a policeman can control you. In your home, your parents censor and supervise you. And you...if you don't have any children, you can unleash your anger, stress and tension by censoring your pet! I mean...why not?
