Official Urges Ban on 'Bruce Almighty'
KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - A Malaysian government minister has called on Islamic authorities to ban Hollywood actor Jim Carrey's latest film "Bruce Almighty," newspapers reported on Tuesday.
In the comedy, Carrey plays the role of a television reporter who is given the power of God for a week.
"It's not appropriate to show the film in this country," Abdul Hamid Zainal, a minister in the Prime Minister's Department, was quoted as saying.
The minister said censors should refer the film to the Islamic Affairs Department to decide whether it should be screened. Just over half of Malaysia's 24 million people are Muslim.
"We cannot equate ourselves with God -- even as a joke," Abdul Hamid said.
