MDA has explained its decision to ban the Archie comic issue featuring a gay marriage while retaining an Astonishing X-Men issue with the same theme.
According to it, the X-Men issue depicted opposition to the marriage and provided a "balanced treatment on the issue of gay marriage.”
“The MDA takes a holistic view in assessing content and considers all factors, including the context, presentation and language," it says.
What is wrong with the MDA?
From the widely criticized implementation of the Internet Media Licensing Regime to the clumsy attempt to register and the ban the Breakfast Network, to the silly episode over a pair of penguins and now this, it doesn't seem to be able to make sound decisions based on rational explanation and justification.
Is it time for its millionaire CEO Koh Li-Net and its laggard minister Yaacob Ibrahim to step down?
