Abstract: Malaysia is one of the countries in the world which practices film censorship. The prevailing film censorship laws in Malaysia not only deal with all imported films, trailers and documentaries, but also encompass the production and exhibition of local Malay films. Since the heydays of Malay films in 1940's, films depicting violence, religious, horror and sadistic, immoral and sexual inclinations were censored prior to approval. This paper discusses several Malay films banned and censored by the Film Censorship Board on the grounds mentioned above.
