PETALING JAYA: It is ridiculous to impose a blanket ban on a movie based on one offen­ding character, says Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz. He said that the Beauty And The Beast movie should be looked at in its entirety and should not be banned for having a gay cha­racter in it. Nazri said that even though homosexuality is an offence in Malaysia, a movie should not be banned for having a gay character. He was commenting on Beauty And The Beast movie, where the Malaysian release date has been postponed indefinitely. No further reason for the postponement was given, and there was no indication of a new release date.
