SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): A film by local film-maker Ken Kwek that premiered in New York in July has been barred from being screened in Singapore, with the authorities assessing it as having the potential to cause enmity and social division.

The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), which classifies films, said on Monday (Oct 17) that it had assessed the #LookAtMe film as having exceeded the Film Classification Guidelines because “it denigrates a religious community”.
