TGV Pictures marketing manager Grace Tan said the company has received “official approval” from the the Film Censorship Board (LPF).

“We are pleased to inform you that Power Rangers has passed the censorship with no cuts, rated P13,” she told Malay Mail Online this afternoon.

“And yes, it will be screened tomorrow,” she added.

“Ticket sales will resume today at all cinemas ― TGV, GSC, MBO, LFS, MMC and many other independent cinemas,” she added.

LPF chairman Datuk Abdul Halim Abdul Hamid confirmed in a brief text message that the film was approved with a P13 classification and without cuts.

“Lulus bersih,” Abdul Halim told Malay Mail Online in Malay, roughly meaning “approved unconditionally”.

“P13. No cut,” he added, saying that the film distributor had collected the approval certificate from LPF.

The LPF website, which had placed Power Rangers under its list of latest movies approved, yesterday stated the approval date as March 21 and listed it with a P13 classification.

A check this afternoon shows the LPF website as stating the approval date for the Power Rangers film as March 22 and with other details unchanged.

According to the LPF website, a P13 classification means that viewers below the age of 13 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian during viewing, with such movies containing elements such as horror, negative acts, non-excessive suspense elements, plotlines that are difficult to understand and elements that can disturb children's emotion.

Earlier this week, The Hollywood Reporter reported Power Rangers as being the first superhero movie to feature a protagonist from the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, citing movie director Dean Israelite as saying that the movie contains a scene where the female Yellow Ranger character named Trini realises that she is actually having “girlfriend problems” instead of “boyfriend problems”.
