'Rojak'Songs--no longer Banned

At first when asked about the ban on 'rojak' songs by his MINIstry, the Info MINIster said he was not aware and would probe. After probe probing around, he must have discovered that it is true. And he has now announced the lifting of the ban on 'rojak' songs, those Malay songs like P. Ramlee's classic hit 'Madu Tiga', Anita's Seksis, Ruffedge's Tipah Tertipu, Too Phat's Alhamdulillah and KRU's Bade, which contain English words in their lyrics.
Excerpts from the Star report ::
Kadir said the problem of the so-called ban did not arise anymore and airing Malay songs containing English words was no more a major issue with the Information Ministry.
[......]According to Kadir, his ministry was currently drawing up their own standards on the guidelines for songs.
and “As a responsible ministry, we have a persuasive influence role. I would like to urge all those involved in the entertainment industry as well as those related to work together as a team; never mind about the laws and regulations,” he said.

So it looks like there truly was a ban on such songs which the MINIster was unaware of earlier on, now that he is aware he has declared the ban lifted. But is iit truly so? With the mention of the Info MINIstry coming out with its 'own standard guidelines for song', you know he is going to effect a reverse ban on 'rojak' songs. And you know he is talking kok when he says "never mind about the laws and regulations"! Is the Info MINIster so 'rojak' that he is, himself, talking 'rojak'.
