Censorship is the suppression of speech or deletion of communicative material which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient to the government or media organizations as determined by a censor.
We have certain human rights, freedom of speech, freedom of press, and freedom of thought. Obviously, there is no absolute freedom in any countries.
I agree with that China government restrict the Internet, press, and some kind of our freedom. Malaysia is more freedom than China in some sides, such as YouTube and Facebook can open at Malaysia. We cannot open YouTube and Face book, there is lots of offensive information to China.
I feel uncomfortable when I watch film in Malaysian cinema. I think I have not seen a whole movie in Malaysian cinema, some kissing and violence scene is cutted. Even though there has classification of movie, such as U, 18 SG, 18 SX, 18 PA, and 18 PL, I cannot watch a whole film in 18 either. Some scene also is cutted in 18 SG, 18 SX, 18 PA, and 18 PL. Some films were banned at some point of time; some films are still banned, such as series of SAW, Underworld, and Sin City.

I know that the Film Censorship Board of Malaysia is a Malaysian government ministry that vets films. It is under the control of the Home Ministry. The Board was established under the Film Censorship Act, and its role was revised in 2002 under an updated version of the Act. Any film that is to be screened in Malaysia must be certified by the Board. Under the provisions of the Act, no one is allowed to view any film that has not been licensed by the Board.
I think there is nothing to compare in different countries. Different countries have different censorship base on their norms, culture, environment, and economy.
