A Bible, published by the Bible Society of Malaysia, has been banned by Malaysia's Home Ministry (KDN).

The Iban-language Bible, known as the Bup Kudus, was among 35 books banned by the ministry last week, for being considered "detrimental to the public peace" of the largely Muslim nation.

According to an April 8 article on Utusan Malaysia Online, a statement issued by KDN publications control unit said, "Printing, importing, production, reproduction, sale, circulation, distribution and possession of books listed under the schedule are banned in the country."

Utusan Online goes on to say that if found guilty, offenders can be jailed or fined.
