1 | Singapore Bans Music Video for Its Pro-LGBT Content | Mandrara Rakikira noho ny Tononkirany Prô-LGBT i Singapôra |
2 | Screenshot from Jolin Tsai's music video ‘We're All Different, Yet The Same' | Pikantsary avy amin'i rakikiran'i Jolin Tsai ‘We're All Different, Yet The Same' |
3 | UPDATE: The government's Media Development Authority has confirmed that it advised local broadcasters in Singapore not to air the music video because of ‘mature content'. | FANAVAOZAM-BAOVAO: nanamafy ny Fahefana Misahana ny Fampandrosoana ny Media ao amin'ny governemanta fa notoroan-dry zareo hevitra tsy handefa ilay rakikira tao an-toerana ireo fampielezam-peo sy sary ao Singapôra noho ilay izy ‘ho an'ny olondehibe'. |
4 | Reports have emerged that Taiwanese pop songstress Jolin Tsai's song and her music video “We're All Different, Yet The Same” has been banned from broadcast in Singapore. | Mandeha ny tatitra fa voarara tsy azo alefa ao Singapore ny hira sy ny fametrahana azy video “We're All Different, Yet The Same” [Samy Hafa Isika Rehetra Nefa Mitovy] an'ilay mpihira malaza Taiwaney Jolin Tsai. |
5 | Singapore's Media Development Authority has reportedly sent notices to television and radio stations in the city-state informing them that the song and music video should not be aired. | Nolazaina fa nandefa filazana tamin'ny fantsona fahitalavitra sy fampielezam-peo misy ao amin'ny tanàna-firenena ny tsy tokony andefasana ilay hira ny Fahefana Misahana ny Fampandrosoana ny Media ao Singapore. |
6 | According to reports, this was because the lyrics encourage marriage equality for same-sex couples, which is in conflict with local laws. | Araka ny tatitra, nitranga izany satria mandrisika ny mariazim-pitoviana ho amin'ny fiarahan'olondroa mitovy endri-taovampananahana izay mifandaka amin'ny lalàna ao an-toerana ny tononkira. |
7 | The music video is about a lesbian couple who has been living together for three decades. | Miresaka momba ny lesbiana roa mitokantrano nandritra ny telopolo taona mahery ny rakikira an-tsary. |
8 | Gay rights has long been a controversial issue in Singapore, where politicians often assert that the populace is still too conservative to be ready for further acceptance of LGBT rights. | Efa ela no niadian-kevitra ny zon'ny pelaka tao Singapora, izay ilazan'ny politisiana fa mbola manaja fatratra ny nentindrazana ny vahoaka amin'ny ankapobeny ka tsy ho vonona amin'ny hanekena ny zon'ny LGBT. |
9 | A constitutional challenge to Section 377A of the Penal Code - which criminalises sex between men - was dismissed last year by the country's apex court. | Notsipahin'ny Fitsarana Tampony tamin'ny herintaona ny fitakianm-pandravana ny andiany 377A amin'ny Lalàna ady heloka - izay mametraka ho heloka bevava ny firaisam-batana eo amin'ny samy lehilahy. |
10 | The ban was supported by some Singaporeans, especially those who have been vocal in their opposition against pro-LGBT rights events like Pink Dot. | Tohanan'ny Singaporeana sasantsasany ny fandrarana, indrindra fa ireo nitabataba tamin'ny fanoheran-dry zareo ny hetsika fitakiana manohana ny zon'ny LGBT tahaka ny Pink Dot. |
11 | Adi Asjor at the We are against Pinkdot in Singapore Facebook page was in support: | Ao anatin'izany fanohanana izany i Adi Asjor ao amin'ny pejy Facebook We are against Pinkdot in Singapore [Manohitra ny Pinkdot eto Singapora izahay]: |
12 | What is the purpose of this marriage? | Inona no anton'io mariazy io? |
13 | To be happy for today? | Ho faly androany? |
14 | To satisfy their needs for today? | Halifaliana ny filan-dry zareo androany? |
15 | What about tomorrow? | Ahoana ny rahampitso? |
16 | Who will take care of their old age needs being childless (don't talk about adoption cos the child is the offspring of a man and wife). | Iza no hikarakara azy ireo rehefa mahazo taona ka tsy manan-janaka (aza miresaka fananganan-janaka satria ny zaza dia teraka avy amin'ny lehilahy iray sy vehivavy iray)? |
17 | What about the next generation - same sex marriage means, simply put, the end of the road for them. | Ahoana ny taranaka manaraka - ny dikan'ny mariazin'ny mitovy endri-taovam-pananahana dia fiafaran'ny lalana ho azy ireo. |
18 | Marriage is about procreation, about a system of family with children, about education, about the future of mankind. | Ho amin'ny fiterahana ny mariazy, ahoana ny rafitra fianakaviana misy zazakely, ahoana ny fitaizana, ny hoavin'ity taranak'olombelona ity. |
19 | Marriage between man and woman is the foundation of the future of mankind. | Ny mariazin'ny lehilahy sy ny vehivavy no fanorenana ny hoavin'ny taranak'olombelona. |
20 | This IS the core value people must NOT forget. | IZANY no soatoavina fototra TSY azon'ny olona adinoina. |
21 | Yet the news, which began to circulate on the day Ireland voted to allow same-sex marriage, frustrated many Singaporeans: | Nampangidy lela ny maro amin'ny Singaporeana ny vaovao izay nanomboka niparitaka tamin'ny andro nifidianan'i Irelandy ny famelana ny mariazin'ny mitovy endri-taovampananahana: |
22 | I sincerely wish MDA's ban on jolin tsai's MV gets everyone watching, because the ban is ridiculous, and the MV has a great message. - Ernest Sim (@mistsenre) May 23, 2015 | Manantena aho fa ny fandrarana nataon'ny MDA no hahatonga ny rehetra hijery ny rakikira an-tsarin'i Joli Tsai ao amin'ny MV, satria vendrana ilay fandrarana ary tsara ny votoatin-kafatr'i MV. |
23 | This country's awful stance on LGBT really gets me raging. | Mampirintondritona ahy mihitsy ny fijoroana maharikoriko ataon'ity firenena ity amin'ny LGBT. |
24 | 2015, self-proclaimed first world global city and we are still so narrow minded | 2015, manondro tena ho tanàna voalohany mivelatra manerantany nefa dia isika mbola tery saina fatratra. |
25 | - Ernest Sim (@mistsenre) May 23, 2015 How ironic is it that on the same day SG bans a song with gay marriage content, Ireland votes in favour of it? | Moa ve tsy mampihomehy raha amin'ny andro andraran'i Singapore votoatin-tononkira ahitana ny mariazin'ny pelaka, no nifidy hankasitraka izany i Irelandy? |
26 | @PinkDotSG - Shah Kyle Malinda (@shahkylemalinda) May 24, 2015 | Mitsikera ny fanapahan-kevitry ny MDA ny blaogera sady mpandala ny zon'ny LGBT Alex Au: |
27 | Blogger and LGBT rights activist Alex Au criticised the MDA's decision: | Mifangarika amin'izany, miverin-dalana ny hetsiky ny MDA, mampihomehy sy mamely tena. |
28 | By contrast, the MDA's move is not just regressive, it is risibly petty and self-defeating. | |
29 | Like many people, I had never heard of this song before. | Tsy mbola naheno ilay hira, tahaka ny maro, koa aho taloha. |
30 | But now, it is being shared by many on social media. | Saingy ankehitriny dia lasa ifampizaran'ny maro ao amin'ny media sosialy. |
31 | I am pretty sure Pink Dot organisers are thinking of a way to weave it into this year's event. | Matoky aho fa eo ampieritreretana ny fomba hanenomana ny hetsika amin'ity taona ity ny mpikarakara ny Pink Dot (Teboka Raozy). |
32 | … Do they think Singapore can remain exactly where we are while the world moves on? | … Mieritreritra ve ry zareo fa afa-mijanona tsara eo amin'ny misy antsika isika raha mandroso izao tontolo izao? |
