For example, counting amongst many who were committing incest were many with strong religious backgrounds whom I surmise are not exposed to decadent influences of foreign and western media. Malaysians should know that we couldn t be exposed to the Good that the Internet Age and Western Values offer without being equally exposed to their hedonistic and liberal or, as some would view it, loose sexual moral values. The writer s support for government control to stem what he described as floodgates of evil into our society is hard to empathise because firstly, even the PM himself concedes that in this age of Internet, CDs, cassettes and the likes, there is no effective way to intercept censor or curb seepage of certain western influences viewed negative. It is curious that without a feeling of inconsistency, the writer could rail against negative influences of decadent western media on Asians, Australia being laden with fractured family unit and killing 100,000 unwanted babies and yet conclude that it does not mean Westerners are more decadent than Asians . That certainly is his conclusion when he said, Until self-control is a virtue of most Malaysians, government control is a wise option.
Prevention is better than cure .
The way to maturity and control is exposure rather than protection and shelter.
