Malaysia offers up to US$1,000 for best 'gay prevention' video

Ohhhhhh boy >_>


KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian government is offering cash prizes of up to US$1,000 for the best videos explaining how to "prevent" homosexuality, according to a competition launched on the health ministry's website.
Activists on Saturday said the move will further spread fear among Malaysia's LGBT community, as conservative attitudes chip away at the Muslim-majority nation's one-time reputation for moderation and tolerance.

Contestants are invited to submit a video clip addressing various categories including gayness or "gender confusion", and offering suggestions as to how these could be "prevented or controlled".

Winners will receive between 1,000 and 4,000 ringgit after the competition closes at the end of August, the ministry's website said.

Nisha Ayub, Malaysia's most prominent LGBT activist, said health authorities were initiating hatred and discrimination against the community in Malaysia.
"The ministry needs to revise this and think about their actions," added Ayub, who last year became the first transgender woman to be named in the list of International Women of Courage by the US State Department.

This is awful, but man, if someone can get their hands on the losing entrants in this competition I bet there would be enough cringe and spicy memes to last a lifetime.

I'm just imagining a bunch of small community production acting with cheesy 80's VHS VFX and dated stereotypes.
 
There's an easy $1000 waiting for that Odo looking fucker Mike Pence.

Looks like Malaysia is going on my disappointingly long list of places to never visit.

As someone from the Netherlands it always surprises me how there are still so many countries that are anti-gay. We have legalized same sex marriage in the year 2001 and some countries are not even close to gay acceptance, let alone legalizing it.

"The only way to get rid of your gayness is to kill a homophobe and eat his still-beating heart. Often multiple doses of this treatment are required so don't stop just because it isn't working!"
 
I'm morbidly curious about the serious submissions that are bound to happen.

The whole thing is just sad and aggravating.
I sometimes forget how shitty the world is.

Zakir Naik, a radical preacher deemed dangerous by India and Bangladesh, is welcome by Malaysian government and now seeking citizenship here :/

Massive anti lgbt crackdowns are happening in Indonesia as well. A shame, both nations were far more liberal a few decade ago but the aggressive spread of wahhabism in has done a number on both nations.

I wish the videos were public uploads that we could see. I just imagine the amazing stuff that will get made.

This would be a great opportunity to make a legit video with a ton of hidden messages in it. Essentially the blinking "torture" WWII interview.

And dont forget the wingnuts in Thailand and the Philippines. SE Asia is becoming the new frontier for intolerant extremist twats.

An anticipated and obvious consequence of "The War on Terror", unfortunately.
 
Whelp, tome to dig up whatever hard drive has all my old porn on it.

If I can't win, I'll make whoever has to go through these very, very uncomfortable.

IIRC there are still conversion therapies in Malaysia. It's like one of the few things that unites the three major religions in the country.
