GEORGE TOWN, Aug 29 — Penang moviegoers looking to watch “Tanda Putera” will have to go elsewhere after three major cinemas today scrapped the showing of the controversial film in theatres here following a “directive” from the state government.
Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC) said today it had agreed to accede to the Penang government’s “directive” and will refund moviegoers who had purchased the tickets beforehand.
“In compliance with Penang State Government’s directive (as per letter by Majlis Perbandaran Pulau Pinang dated August 28, 2013), GSC will not be screening the movie “Tanda Putera” in cinemas located in the state of Penang,” the country’s leading cinema operator said in a statement.
The movie, which opens in theatres nationwide today, is no longer listed on GSC’s website, nor the websites of two other cinema operators, Tanjung Golden Village (TGV) Cinemas and Lotus Five Star Cinemas (LFS) for their Penang cineplexes.
