    "content": "I want to support this Media Bill, but I have a few issues because there are some areas which are not clear. The Committee needs to sit and clarify issues a little bit more comprehensively. For example, if you look at clause 46(a) and (f), one of the functions of the authority in relation to broadcasting services shall be to protect the right to privacy of all persons. I wonder what the authority is going to do if the broadcaster is in breach of this. We need to know how they are going to address that issue. I have looked at the Bill and I do not see anywhere where it appears. Again, in the same Clause 46(h) and (i), the authority shall have the power to set standards and manner of programmes. This is good because some of the programmes that may be viewed are not really good for our children. We need to monitor this. I also feel that this cannot be left to the authority. The authority, together with the broadcaster, should agree on programmes."
