Netflix’s ‘6 Underground’ is the first movie to successfully access post-production subsidy under the Malaysian rebate scheme.

Movies that win praise and prizes abroad are sometimes banned or heavily censored at home, where some religious, racial and sexual themes are considered off-limits.

Malaysia is ramping up efforts to position itself as a leading film production hub in the region, aiming to create jobs and boost tourism through international creative investments.

Malaysia has banned the movie "Hustlers", a Jennifer Lopez film based on the real life exploits of a band of strippers who fleeced clients after having drugged them.
