PETALING JAYA: The home ministry has banned all Swatch products that contain any lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer (LGBTQ) elements, whether on watches, boxes or wrappers.
The ministry said the ban has been gazetted under the Printing Presses and Publications Order 2023, concerning Swatch products that are “likely to be prejudicial to morality”.Those who own any such products produced by Swatch could face up to three years in jail or a maximum fine of RM20,000, or both, if convicted. In a statement, the ministry said the government remained committed to curbing the spread of elements that are detrimental to the nation’s morality and public interest.
