Lift ban = flourish of creative industries?

This article came as a bolt of inspiration to blog.

For as long as I could remember, media students have been debating how to make the creative industries in Singapore flourish,blossoming with its unique characteristics and qualities?

LIFT THE BAN

Wow! That is something that we dream but we dare not think it is possible.
The only limit now is the limitation of one's creativity and imagination, no longer has one need to go through another filter called "Government". That second filter poses as more obstruction since it was never easy to get pass the first filter.
What the government also worry is the opening up of the Pandora's box which could potentially undermine the very social fabric with which we are based on. Unlike S. Korea which is made up of 1 race only, we have a multiracial society.
It depends on how the government view this issue and how the citizens of Singapore feel about these issues.
 However, after so many years of nation-building, surely there must be some effective results culminated from all these efforts.

The question now is do we trust each other to maintain as we are now?
Or the opening up of media is indeed a Pandora's box?
For sure, we are more susceptible to foreign influence. Look at the stream of foreign media imports.
Arnt we tempted to build our own?
