Datuk Zainuddin Maidin was quoted saying that P. Ramlee's classic
Madu Tiga
song is exempted from being banned over RTM's airwaves as the
phrase "I love you" was used with proper context and meaning.
I suppose they didn't bat an eyelid on the overall message of
the song (although in comedic jest) that is to cheat on one's
wife/wives to practice polygamy ("Mesti pandai membohong / Mesti
pandai temberang / Tetapi jangan sampai / Hai pecah tembelang").
Impressionable minds should not be encouraged with such
negative elements, right? Oh wait, I forgot. Some of them are
doing exactly that anyways ("membohong", "temberang", etc.
until the ACA "pecah tembelang" on top of practicing polygamy
without their wives' knowledge or consent -- and it's no comedic
jest either) so it's alright, I guess.
Listening to: Ismail Haron & Anita Sarawak - Joget Pak Mat Kahwin Lagi
(MP3). Supposedly banned
due to the word "steady" being used in the song.
