29 Jul – The release of local Chinese movie "The New Village" on 22 August has been delayed until further notice as it is still awaiting further review by the Film Censorship Board (LPF). A lot of controversy is broiling over the film, such as several complaints by social media bloggers and non-governmental organisations, as it is said to be promoting communism. Awang Selamat of Mingguan Malaysia wrote, "Many of our security forces personnel were killed and maimed due to the communists, who are now recognised and glorified as heroes. Why does the producer of "The New Village" film want to re-write history?"
