KUALA LUMPUR: Golden Screen Cinema Sdn Bhd (GSC) and the distributor of Aire Libre have been asked to explain why the film was screened to the public without cuts.

Film Censorship Board (LPF)chairman Datuk Raja Azahar Raja Abdul Manap said the film was screened at the GSC cinemas in Kuala Lumpur in conjunction with the 10th edition Latin American Film Festival between Oct 20 and 23.

"Based on the LPF assessment report on Oct 22, the film has been approved for screening on the condition that cuts be made on 14 scenes and only after it is done, the film can be classified as PG13.

"PG 13 is the category for films which are suitable for public viewing. However, children under 13 years old have to be accompanied by their parents or guardians," he said in a statement.

The film 'Aire Libre', directed by Luis Armando Roche from Vanezuela, has won several awards, like the OCIC Award (Best Film Award) at the Havana Film Festival in 1996 and the Patron's Award (Best Film Award) at the San Diego International Film Festival in 1997.

Raja Azahar said an investigation was conducted by LPF following public complaints over the screening of the film.

"Following the investigation, LPF found that the distributor of the film did not make the cuts as instructed by LPF based on the provision under Section 11 of the Film Censorship Act," he added.

He said the board would call the film distributor to explain, adding that since the request to screen the film was made by the Venezuelan Embassy, an invitation would also be sent to the embassy to send its representatives to the hearing. BERNAMA

JOHOR BARU: An explosion caused by air released in a manhole jolted Kampung Wadihana early Saturday.

The 7.15am explosion caused the tarred road to crack at Jalan Mohamad Taib.

Syed Najib Syed Yassin, 46, said his family was about to have breakfast when they heard the explosion and rushed out of the house.

"There was only one explosion and it sounded like a bomb," he added.

He said water supply to the area was cut off due to maintenance work in the area.

Syarikat Air Johor (SAJ) Corporate Communication Department head, Jamaluddin Jamil, said the explosion was caused by the air release valve.

"The air that was released from the valve increased the air pressure in the manhole, causing it to explode," he said.

He said investigation would be conducted by SAJ on the explosion. BERNAMA

KOTA BARU: Sultan of Kelantan Sultan Muhammad V has reminded the people to be on guard against anti-authority elements who were out to create an unhealthy atmosphere in the society.

"These elements will try to stir up issues related to Islam, and challenge the rulers' authority and the Malay language to achieve their personal and group interests.

"I urge these elements to stop playing with fire and their provocative attitude could create turbulence and disrupt peace in the society and country," he said at an investiture ceremony in conjunction with his 42nd birthday at Istana Balai Besar here.

Sultan Muhammad V hoped the agriculture, livestock and fisheries sectors would be more effective and responsive to technological development, become environmentally friendly and sustainable.

On the state's 2012 budget, he asked that the state government take positive steps to reduce the deficit to a manageable level.

"To reduce the budget deficit, the state government should take prudent expenditure management and spend according to actual needs.

"The state government should give emphasis to increasing revenue and income streams," he added.

Armed Forces chief Gen Tan Sri Zulkifli Mohd Zin, who headed the state honours list, received the Darjah Kebesaran Mahkota Kelantan Yang Amat Mulia (Al-Muhammadi I) (SPMK) award which carries the title "Datuk".

Present were Mentri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat and former prime minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. BERNAMA
