Screenings of the Malaysian film Konspirasi were stopped nationwide on May 28, 2026, following a request by its producers Elepfilm Entertainment Sdn Bhd [1, 2, 3]. The film had been playing on 120 screens across Malaysia since May 21 after receiving approval from the Film Censorship Board and acceptance under the Mandatory Screening Scheme on May 14 [1, 2, 3].
The National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (Finas) and the Malaysian Association of Film Exhibitors (MAFE) were informed of the halt by the distributor, Media Prima Bhd [1, 2, 3]. Finas stated the withdrawal was initiated solely by the producers and not due to any directive from authorities or other parties [1, 2, 3]. Efforts by Finas to contact Elepfilm Entertainment for further explanation have so far failed [1, 2, 3].
Konspirasi tells the story of a secret mission by an enforcement team from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission dealing with corruption and leaked confidential information that triggers a political crisis [2, 3]. The film attracted attention for its sensitive subject matter and sudden removal from cinemas.
Malaysian actress Che Puan Sarimah Ibrahim publicly expressed shock over the immediate halt. She called it the second strange situation she had experienced involving a film and asked, “Malaysia, what is happening?” [3].
As of May 29, 2026, Finas and related parties continue to seek clarification from the producers regarding the reasons for the film’s withdrawal [2, 3].
