Reasons for disallowing satellite TV in homes: Lee Boon Yang
-
They just want to torture us with the LOUSY cable tv service for as long as they can...
-
at least the ctv programs are better than those by mediacock.
-
what undesirable content?
i think he's living in a hole -
I ask again.
What has porn got to do with terrorism?
-
First of all, porn on TV is bad.
Secondly, it is true that you can get terrorists messages of hatred on satlellite TV. -
But you can also send messages of love on satellite TV what.Originally posted by Salman:First of all, porn on TV is bad.

well, porn exists.. terrorists exist..
we should give up on life and kill ourselves...
we can start with salman -
i am sure we can get both porn and terrorists messages of hatred online too.Originally posted by Salman:First of all, porn on TV is bad.

gasp!!
we must ban the internet too!Originally posted by dragg:i am sure we can get both porn and terrorists messages of hatred online too. -
No wonder kids are surfing the net more than watching TV nowadays.
-
True, we can get porn and terrorist hate online, but its less accessible & visible to kids as compared to TV. That itself is good reason enough to ban satellite TV.
-
I beg your pardon.Digital media online is much more pervasive and intergrated, not to mention much more interactive than satellite TV, which is merely a one-way conduit.Originally posted by Salman:True, we can get porn and terrorist hate online, but its less accessible & visible to kids as compared to TV.

You spout a lot of nonsense and dissenting views from the majority here in sgforums.Originally posted by Salman:True, we can get porn and terrorist hate online, but its less accessible & visible to kids as compared to TV. That itself is good reason enough to ban satellite TV.
Is that a good reason to ban you altogether? -
seems like you always have a reason to agree with whatever the govt do.Originally posted by Salman:True, we can get porn and terrorist hate online, but its less accessible & visible to kids as compared to TV. That itself is good reason enough to ban satellite TV. -
Sometimes govt decisions are just plain wierd.
-
Why some like banks can get access to undesirable sat tv content puzzles me.
What undesirable content are they watching har?
-
They're afraid we accidentally tune into Osama's bandwidth....
and get an earful of his brain-washing lectures. -
ah Lee presented a weak explaination this time.
The reasons are excuses. -
actually, it should be easier to fing porn and terrorist hate info on the internet. u can juz google for it and u can find thousands of content. Whereas for TV, u can only find offical news stations and entertainment. So more or less, the infomation has already been filtered to some extent to make it viewableOriginally posted by Salman:True, we can get porn and terrorist hate online, but its less accessible & visible to kids as compared to TV. That itself is good reason enough to ban satellite TV. -
It's so clear.
A minister probably dreamt terrorists hijacking a satellite tv station and broadcasting their message of an impending strike. That would have scared the shit out of every tourist and Singaporean.
That is why no no. -
Patient friends, Internet TVs and 3Gs are on the way and will reach Singapore soon. Who needs Satellite TVs. Once the 3Gs network are fully set up, the operators will definitely fight for more freedom and space to cover their investment. Its just 6 months down the road.Originally posted by Salman:There weren't any terrorism in the 70s and 80s, so what is Lee talking about?
Are terrorist programs broadcast over satellites?
Lets face it, the govt will never allow satellite TVing.
BTW, you wanna know why Satelite TVing not allowed in Singapore, go check whos the boss of Starhub SCVs. Will our PM invite competitor for his wife's company? -
Aiyaaa... no this, no that, in the end, now CASINO also allowed!!!!
Hokkien: "Kong lai kong ki, mah si e-lang tioh eh......wah lang bo e-eh bian lah, kai li kong!" -
Until they do their sums and find that they can get money out of satellite TVs, then we just have to wait lor.Originally posted by ShutterBug:Aiyaaa... no this, no that, in the end, now CASINO also allowed!!!!

By that time, they will come out with reasons like yes, Singaporeans are matured enough to have satellite TV blah blah blah. Just like the casino, as long as money can come in, no problem. To hell with the consequences. When satellite TVs are finally allowed, they will then set up a Addiction to Porn Annonymous to help those addicted to porn cope, just like the Gamblers Annonymous for the casino.
Ultimately, the government decides what is right or wrong. -
So i can download Al-Jazeera video clips on hostage takers from the internet, should we ban the internet too?
Classic case of Govt playing the familiar role of NANNY, always conceited in their "we-know-best-don't-argue" attitude. -
