Why is Lelaki Komunis Terakhir banned in Malaysia?

Amir Muhammad says:

It is, to put it mildly, horribly unfair for a movie to be banned based on comments by people who had not seen it. I am dismayed that a single newspaper (and a culturally chauvinistic one at that) could cause the Home Affairs Ministry to reverse the decision by the censors.

I’ve not seen Amir Muhammad’s recent semi-musical, but according to those who have (including the Censorship Board), it’s a harmless documentary. Read on to learn what the nation’s idiots find alarming about it.

My opinion of Berita Harian—rumourmonger, and official mouthpiece of the Third World mentality—cannot fall any lower than it already is.

Yes, it’s unfair.

But Amir obviously took a gamble on the title which can only be described as provocative, especially here.

If he gave it an innocent title, THEN inserted ahem subversive elements in the movie, then it would have been a success. Instead he did it the other way around – gave it a pseudo-subversive title, then made a innocent movie.
