Censorship in NOW cable TV

LETTER TO SCMP:

Could someone from the HK government or from NOW Cable TV please explain why we adults in Hong Kong have to be subject to censorship by bleeps (or silence) and pixelation in our Cable TV shows?

No matter that shows warns us at the beginning of "Adult Content", they still go ahead to block our ears and cover our eyes for us. I find it annoying and demeaning. 

The other night watching a movie that clearly had a lot of swearing, the cuts made the conversation virtually unintelligible. I watched a cooking show where they blurred the cleavage of one of the presenters! Truly ridiculous. 

I've read somewhere that the reasons for this severe censoring are that the packages are bought for the Asian Region and that we have to bear the brunt of the most restrictive regional censorship which is Malaysian. If that's true, then we in HK are being subjected to the most stringent sharia-compliant censorship. 

This reason gains some credence from a recent show of "Forged in Fire" on NOW's Hostory Channel, which showed two hanging pig carcasses, but with the heads of the pigs pixilated. (pigsillation?)

If that is the reason, why can't NOW TV buy programs from other jurisdictions than the one including Malaysia? Buy the antipodean package, for example, as Australia and New Zealand certainly don't bleep and blur. 

Meantime a NOW On Demand show like "Game of Thrones" has no censorship, is full-on, swear words and all. 

So I don't get it. Why some and not others?

I come back to my original question:

can someone in this Asian World City of ours please explain why adults are treated as children, on censored Cable TV shows?
