'Sex.Violence.FamilyValues' gets rating

Film director Ken Kwek says that his debut movie will probably get its first screening in Singapore early this year after it was re-edited to appease the island state’s censors.

Sex.Violence.FamilyValues, made up of three shorts, explores dysfunctional families, racism and promiscuity.

A scene in one short, Porn Masala, shows an ethnic Chinese pornography director racially insulting an Indian actor - enough for Singapore’s Media Development Authority (MDA) to ban the movie.

    I have watched civilization decay from the 60's to now. We have just passed from the Bevis and Butthead mentality phase to blame everyone else for your own actions and lie about everything.

    I had not realised that young Singaporean adults were so delicate.
    Or do under 21s lack the maturity to even count as adults in Singapore?
