Hint: They haven't.
The film's original title had been Anu Dalam Botol, or Penis in a Bottle, but [producer] Raja Azmi [Raja Sulaiman] said she changed it after the board objected. She said that, in response to suggestions by the board, she had removed a scene from an earlier version of the film that showed a man in his underwear. She said she had agreed because it was not critical to the story.
Before she started shooting, Ms. Raja Azmi submitted her script to the censorship board, which advised her not to include intimate bedroom scenes, she said.
Ms. Raja Azmi described Dalam Botol as a "tragic love story" involving two men, one of whom undergoes a sex change to become a woman. The film, which cost about 800,000 ringgit, or $250,000, to produce, is based on the experience of a friend.
When asked about the requirement that gay characters must repent or be shown in a negative light, Ms. Raja Azmi would only say that the characters "indirectly" express remorse.
Ugh. First they cut Penis in a Bottle, and now this? Bring back a bootleg, Adam Lambert, I really must know how it ends.
