Malaysia's ban on publication of content related to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer plus (LGBTQ+), such as the recent action on LQBTQ+ Swatch watches, should not be constituted as harassment against the group, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He said the government has to respect the consensus of the people.
Speaking to journalist Christiane Amanpour during an interview segment on CNN aired today, the prime minister was asked on the government's stand on the issue.
Anwar said that as prime minister, he has to respect the consensus of Malaysians and that they do not accept public displays of LGBTQ+.
"The Muslims, non -Muslims, Christians, Hindus or Buddhists, they have a consensus in the country. They do not accept this (LGBTQ+).," he said.
However, he said while there is a need to exercise some degree of tolerance, harassment has to be avoided.
Amanpour also asked Anwar on the word 'sodomy' that was falsely labeled to him, and that abuse of that nature has to be something he is sensitive of.
