The Film Censorship Board (LPF) should be prudent in evaluating the movie “The New Village” as it has the final say on its screening.
According to Bernama, Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said LPF must be cautious in its decision as the film was said to have concealed an intrinsic message in glorifying communist terrorists and putting them in better light than members of the security forces during the insurgency.
“I am not supporting any security forces in the film, but the British army is portrayed as being arrogant, but was the communist better than the security forces?” he asked yesterday.
LPF, he said, should be prepared and responsible for public reaction towards the film if screening was approved, but credit should also be given to the board if the film receives good audience rating. – September 12, 2013.
