Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Hoang Tuan Anh admitted adverse impacts of violent online games and asked relevant agencies to reinforce censorship of cultural products.
At the National Assembly’s Q&A session on June 11, Minister Anh also pointed to the need to promote the education of laws right in schools and at workplaces and strongly condemn behaviours against social ethics.
Anh said his ministry and the Ministry of Information and Communications, which co-manage online game services, have recognised harms and bad effects from violent games and are working together on the making of inter-ministerial documents to adjust their mandate over the services appropriately.
Minister of Information and Communications Le Doan Hop gave more explanations on his ministry’s responsibilities for the management of online games and internet shops, saying his ministry’s inspection teams have examined Internet shops nationwide and handled 145 violated ones.
The Ministry of Information and Communications are inspecting the operation of the producers and suppliers of online games to help formulate management solutions and regulations in conformity with the reality, Minister Hop said.
During the Q&A session, many legislators put a question regarding lavishness of festivals in the country in the recent time and problems in cultural management.
Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Anh said his ministry has dealt with a spectrum of cases relating to lavishness and superstition in festivals, affirming that the administrations will not relax its management of festivals.
The administrations at all levels should be highly aware of the role and position of festivals in social life given these events help younger generations gain thorough understanding of the nation’s history and traditional values, Minister Anh underscored.
The festivals have been organised with funding contributed by the people not by the State, the minister said, explaining that these festivals, such as the firework, Hue, fruits and sea festivals have in reality drawn a large number of foreign visitors and promoted the country’s images far and wide.
Concluding the Q&A session today, NA Chairman Nguyen Phu Trong affirmed that festivals are encouraged to be organised in a healthy manner to highlight national culture and promote the country’s images as it is a legitimate need of the people.
However, he emphasised the need to continue to maintain and preserve the nation’s distinctive culture, traditions, and ethical values in a time when the country is pursuing a market economy and integrating into the globe./.
