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.

In the case that the owner of a media company does not comply with the notice, the Ministry of Information will not further allow the broadcast of such music or stories on media.
