Description[?]:
| Mr Speaker, Over the decade, the State of Indrala has witnessed a huge amount of media freedom being blocked away from the public. While we do agree that media is and will always be a platform for citizens to receive influential information, but media, as its original intention was, is also a form of entertainment for the public. Government should not be restrictive on criticisms by media outlets -- if we look at the bright side, only with these criticisms then would we know what is the reality on the grounds within the hearts of many people. Let us agree that a minor degree of changes in media censorship would bring about a more democratic, and a justified society. Han Wei Yi Secretary-General |
