Censorship in Singapore

Looks like Singapore is a tough place for young lads - first they are made to do a few years of service, they have pages torn out of imported Megami and looks like they have light "ecchi" scenes deleted from anime.
Question to Singaporeans - are you happy with this? If not then is something being done about it anywhere?

Original text from Actar below.

For those of you enjoying Zero no Tsukaima: Princess no Rondo on Arts Central in Singapore, did you know that there were huge chunks of episode 6 were censored out?

As some of the subbers were slow, I decided to turn to local tv (not a good idea.). At those particular moments, that scene was not coherent.

The way that the Love Potion was transfered was via kissing. All the kissing scenes between the girls were removed together with any comments about boobs which I felt were pretty mild (no nudity). Above is a clip of one of the ten deleted scenes...

I understand that different cultures have different standards and views. However, what is really wrong with showing some things on television? What are your view on this, whether you are in Singapore or not? Would you feel cheated?


(The henshin sequence of kawaii Nanoha was also cut sometime ago...)
