    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Sir. With all due respect to the Committee, I stand to oppose the amendment by the Committee and in support of the Attorney-General. I do remember that when we were actually looking at this element at the first round, it became very clear that there was a very clear distinction between what we can do with what is funded by the public and which we can then regulate, decide how it is allocated and what is purely private. As much as the Constitution talks about both public media and other media, the same Constitution also protects private property. Within this definition of “private property”, it includes the businesses. The Constitution says that Parliament shall not legislate on anything that deprives a person access to their rights and their property. What we are basically saying here is that, you can go to KTN or to NTV and tell them “you must allocate so much time to so and so” without necessarily saying who will pay for it. Because once you put this obligation, you must also put who will compensate them for this time."
