(1) Without prejudice to the powers of the Minister to revoke or suspend a licence or permit under any other provisions of this Act, if the Minister is satisfied that any printing press in respect of which the licence has been issued is used for printing of any publication which is prejudicial to public order or national security or that any newspaper in respect of which a permit has been issued contains anything which is prejudicial to public order or national security, he may revoke such licence or permit. (2) Subject to subsection (3), no licence or permit shall in any manner be transferred, assigned or otherwise placed under the control of any person other than the person to whom the licence or permit was originally granted unless the Minister so permits and any holder who contravenes this subsection shall be liable to have his licence or permit revoked or suspended. (3) The Minister may, in the event of the death, incapacity, bankruptcy or, in the case of a company, liquidation of the holder of such licence or permit, or where a receiver or manager is appointed in relation to the business of the holder of such licence, or where for any reason the Minister is satisfied that it would be unjust not to do so, authorize the transfer of such licence or permit.
