Back you up for many cases of censorship in Malaysia

Malaysia is an Islamic country and we have to be careful about this.
It is not allowed to use images such as ladies who wear a revealing dress, pork and dogs.
In case it does not comply with Islamic law, it could damage the image of the company.
To avoid these risks, it is important to choose the right advertising company where complies with censorship.
