Correct decision to ban song

I AM glad that the ban on Janet Jackson's song, Would You Mind, has been upheld.

There are many who claim that the ban is not necessary, but I am happy that the Publications Appeal Committee has made the correct decision.

Do Singapore's youth need to be influenced by such mixed-up ideas from the song lyrics?

We can argue for 'artistic freedom' and have ruined relationships, marriages and families as a result. Or we can allow for some restrictions and have a more wholesome society.
