REVEALED: Censorship Of P. Ramlee Films On Astro (Updated: 13th April, 0909hrs)

It has been a while since I criticised the censorship double standards of Anime shows and Western cartoons on Malaysian TV. To be honest, we are now living in an era where people are so easily offended over the most trivial things on TV shows, fearing that one particular thing can cause great disaster towards society and mankind. Today, with the easily accessible internet service and social media, now everyone can complain and become a self-appointed moral police.

Because of this, the censorship board, like a superhero, is always there to appease these group of annoying and overly sensitive people and make them happy; While at the same time, ruin any TV shows on Malaysian TV with aggressive (unless if it is really necessary) and sometimes ridiculous censorship. Ironically, these same group of overly sensitive people often turn a blind eye over bigger and nastier threats that cause even more harm and should have been dealt with.

And so, as per blog title says, I'm going to show what I (and possibly, other Malaysians) discovered: Censorship of P. Ramlee films on Astro.
