Malaysia bans "The Prince of Egypt".

Israel Faxx Staff Report

Malaysia has banned "The Prince of Egypt," the animated Hollywood epic about Moses, on religious and moral grounds, officials said Wednesday. "We ban films that don't serve the interests of the people," said Lukeman Saaid, chairman of the Film Censorship Board.

"We found it insensitive for religious and moral reasons. Because of the many races in Malaysia, religion is a very sensitive issue."
