Kuala Lumpur —- The authorities in Malaysia have banned a popular live television talk show following a comment a local artiste made about the Prophet Muhammad’s first wife, according to a report yesterday.

The weekly Sensasi (Sensation) programme on TV3 was banned after well-known actress Rosnah Mat Aris reportedly linked gossip about her relationship with a younger man to the Prophet’s marriage to his first and older wife, Siti Khadijah.

Ms Rosnah made the comment while answering a question on the programme, which features discussions with people in the arts and entertainment industry.

The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) said the broadcast on Jan 30 did not abide by licensing and content codes and TV3 had failed to control inappropriate content, The Star newspaper reported.

“TV3 has been asked to stop the live broadcast of the show with immediate effect,” the commission was quoted as saying in a statement to the newspaper.
