Despite being banned on religious grounds, latest Jim Carrey film "Bruce Almighty" will now be shown in Malaysia after all.  As Funny.co.uk reported last month , a Malaysian government minister stepped in, stamped his feet a bit, overruled the Film Censorship board and said "We cannot equate ourselves with God almighty even as a joke."

Meanwhile the rest of the Malaysian government were dancing around behind him wearing fake wigs and beards, shouting "Look at me! I'm God!" and trying to part things.  It is believed that a fellow minister took Abdul Hamid Zainal Abidin aside and said, loosely translated, "Calm down me old china! Only a movie, innit!?".

An official said that the revised decision was made after the movie had been viewed and assessed several times by numerous government officials including those from the Islamic Development Department and the Film Censorship board.

Key figures in Malaysia's own entertainment industry were also at a loss about the reasons for the original banning of the film, commenting that it is "just a comedy".  Bruce Almighty will now be released with an "18PL" certificate, much higher than the "12A" it was given in the UK.
