A report has surfaced claiming that the Belt and Road Initiative for Win-Winism comic by former DAP activist Hew Kuan Yau was banned by the Home Ministry.
According to the report, the ministry said the contents of the publication, among others, try to promote communism and socialism as well as spread wrong and confusing facts about communists while trying to raise support and sympathy towards the communist struggle.
Hew courted controversy following reports that that 2,500 copies of a controversial comic book on China’s Belt and Road Initiative had been distributed to Chinese-type primary and secondary schools.
It was thereafter revealed that Hew had co-produced the book with another artist who has since been identified as Chong Po Ling. The book has also been associated with Deputy Education Minister Teo Nie Ching.
