Malaysian TV worm-eating criticised

Malaysia's culture minister has criticised the country's satellite TV operator for broadcasting shows in which people eat worms or talk too frankly about sex.

Rais Yatim said the programmes offended local sensibilities, and he asked the company to be more discerning.

The nation's main TV channel offers an unrelenting diet of grim-faced Islamic scholars and wholesome family entertainment.

But while such programmes may be morally superior, a growing number of Malaysians prefer watching people enjoying a very different diet.
