Nazri: Blanket ban on movies ridiculous


KUALA LUMPUR: A blanket ban on movies based on a character or scene is ridiculous, said Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz.

Speaking about the indefinite postponement of the local release date for the film Beauty and the Beast, Nazri said that a film has to be looked at in its entirety before a ban can be imposed on it.
