Basically, for the past 14 years the Instant Caf Theatre Company (ICT) has been a 'coffee-shop' for the middle class. A Malaysian coffee-shop is where people sit around grumble, criticise and joke about society, politics, each other in fact, everything.

ICT has had a following over the past 14 years, which shows that some people can take its brand of humour. Some people cannot. But that's the beauty of free choice. Some people can choose not to like ICT they may even criticise it.

But if KL City Hall (DBKL) bans ICT based on the opinions of a small section of people who happen to have watched the show and are offended, then it is saying that the views of that minority are more important than the views of the majority of the audience.

Let us put it this way, I find WWF (World Wrestling Federation) violent and moronic, but I wouldn't want the WWF banned on just my opinion, or the opinion of a few people, when lots of people enjoy it.

Banning things for a prejudiced few is medieval. It protects no one, and it hurts everyone.
