PARLIAMENT | The Film Censorship Board (FCB) and the Home Ministry are in the midst of reviewing the possibility of reducing television (TV) stations’ censorship authority for the approval process to broadcast a film or drama.

Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Zahidi Zainul Abidin said the move was to ensure it was under control and heavier penalties could be imposed if any violations occurred.
