These guidelines not only covers newspapers but magazines and comics. I can say rarely, is taken by the various Ministries to those errant offenders. Although the laws and policies exists, ie, to control and monitor how women are portrayed and used in the media, they are seldom used. Most clauses under the law are general. Concept and specific words are not clearly defined.
Interpretation becomes subjective and usually up to the discression of the enforcement officers.
This is where the difficulty and root to the problem lies. Further, the various codes and policies are not always consistent in their guidelines. For example, alcohol advertisement is prohibited in the electronic media, but not in the print media or cinemas. The RTM code prohibits the use of scantily clad female or male bodies to sell products but the Home Affairs code for the print media does not carry such a clause. Even within the Film Censorship Board members, there's inconsistency between stations.
