Loading ...Shin-chan Negative Influence for Malaysian Kids!
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 17 (Bernama) — Puteri Umno wants programmes aired by the broadcast media, like entertainment programmes, TV advertisements and cartoons, which carry negative influence to be monitored and censored.
It delegate, Siti Azizah Omar, said that there were now several programmes including the cartoon, “Sinchan”, which influenced children to use foul language just like the characters in the programmes.
The local television stations could replace imported cartoons with local publications, like Lat’s cartoons, the Kampung Boy and Putih, which were more suited to the local culture, she said when seconding the motion on religion and social issues at the Umno general assembly here Friday.
FYI, some westerners have called Shin-chan the “Bart Simpson of Japan”.
FYI (2), article also points out the open criticism of a certain singer/actress married to a minister.
