Phnom Penh (FN), May 7 - Khieu Kanharith, Minister of Information urged the immediate ban on the production and distribution of any karaoke music or videos that broadcast alcohol as a way to resolve depression issue, as the acts affect dignity and social behavior, according to the minister's letter addressed to media's owner dated on Monday.

Minister Khieu Kanharith suggested the owner of the radio station, TV and movie production to illustrate the appropriate approach or physical education or meditation to solve depression issues, rather than showing images using alcohol to stop the characters's depression.

Stop actors from consuming alcohol: ministry
9 May 2018
The Information Ministry has ordered all radio and television stations to cease broadcasting music videos and movies featuring performers resorting to alcohol consumption to cope with their personal problems and to relieve depression.

Information Minister Khieu Kanharith said on Monday that the ministry has observed that some radio stations and television owners aired karaoke videos, music videos and films showing depressed actors, especially adults who had love affair problems and chose to consume alcohol as a way to deal with their breakups.

Mr Kanharith said that such performances posed a negative impact on Cambodian society, especially to youths because it could sway them to consume alcohol while facing personal problems.

“In a case that owners of radio, television or video production companies fail to comply with this notice, the Information Ministry will not permit such music or movies to be on air,” he said.
