Speaking to Tuoi Tre Online , the chief inspector of the ministry said that as soon as there was public opinion regarding the fact that in Ho Chi Minh City, students still freely went to the cinema to watch the movie Mai, the inspector of the ministry directed the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Culture and Sports to take immediate action.
Mr. Liem informed: "The inspector of this department will be responsible for investigating, checking, requesting theaters to report information and then reporting back to the ministry."
According to the ministry's inspector, theaters must comply with regulations and ensure that the age of moviegoers is correct as labeled.
"With Tran Thanh 's movie Mai , when labeled C18, students under 18 years old are not allowed to watch it," he said.
Regarding the information that some cinemas in Ho Chi Minh City let in audiences under 18 years old by not requiring them to present identification papers, the chief inspector of the ministry said that if such violations are found during the inspection, the ministry inspector will handle them.
Accordingly, the form of handling is specifically regulated in the regulations on film dissemination in cinemas and film dissemination on cyberspace.
"The cinema manager will be responsible for controlling the age of moviegoers. If there is a violation, we will handle it according to the law without covering it up," said Mr. Le Thanh Liem.
He also added: "Regarding this matter, all inspectors of departments - not just the Department of Culture and Sports of Ho Chi Minh City - must work regularly, not only when an incident occurs."
