Apparently Malaysia Govt bans books - including my mate Bobby's (sadly not very red) rant on Kamalism.
KUALA LUMPUR, June 15 (Bernama) -- Eighteen books published locally and overseas have been banned by the Internal Security Ministry under the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984 as they have been deemed to be able to disrupt peace and harmony.
