Police have announced the arrest of a man suspected of installing a hidden camera in a women’s restroom at a Starbucks coffee shop earlier this year.

KUALA LUMPUR: Any films that portray content promoting LGBTQ lifestyles will not be approved for screening in Malaysia, says Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

"I would like to say that the Malaysian government has never ratified any international conventions related to LGBTQ issues, nor does it recognise any LGBTQ lifestyles. Saifuddin Nasution noted that the censorship board faces challenges in meeting the interests and balancing the demands of film and broadcasting practitioners, the general public as viewers and government agencies.

"Furthermore, now there is a greater openness," he said, referring to the audience that participated in the filmmaking process and sat with the censorship board.
