Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) President Mok Ian Ian said yesterday that the bureau does not look into content when it grants local associations financial support for their activities, in response to sponsoring an event that invited three authors whose presence was reportedly deemed “inappropriate” by the local authorities.
Mok made the comments during a press conference at MGM Macau about the 29th Macau Arts Festival (MAF).
Mok said that she only found out in the media on Monday that the authors, who had been invited to attend The Script Road – The Literary Festival, would not be allowed to enter Macau.
