New film censorship guideline next year


PUTRAJAYA: The government will endorse a new film censorship guideline which will take into account the input of industry players, academicians, youths and experienced administrators beginning next year.

Home Ministry Secretary-General Datuk Seri Mahmood Adam told reporters after the appointment of the Film Censorship Board's members Thursday that he hoped this guideline would pave the way for self-censorship and a self-regulatory practice within the industry. "Artistes, script writers, directors and everyone involved in the film industry will be invited to assist in the censorship of our films besides the academicians and experienced groups who had been selected previously.
