In May 2019, a gay bar in the capital Kuala Lumpur was raided by police and religious enforcement officials, while a transgender woman was beaten up by a group of assailants in Seremban, near Kuala Lumpur. Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad denounced the punishment, saying it "did not reflect the justice or compassion of Islam". In September 2018, two women were convicted for attempting to have lesbian sex in a car parked in public area, and were fined 3,300 Malaysian ringgit and caned six times before an audience in a courtroom in Terengganu state.
The event was condemned by pro-Islamist blogs because it was disrespectful to do in the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. In May 2017, the LGBT pride march organised by Taylor's University planned in June was cancelled due to Islamist pressure. The censorship board also had no objections to the screening of Power Rangers even with a lesbian scene in the movie.

In 2017 Malaysia tried to censor Beauty and the Beast over some gay moments but eventually relented and let the movie be shown. In 2010, the Film Censorship Board of Malaysia announced it would only allow depiction of homosexual characters as long as the characters "repent" or die.

In 1995, the Religious Affairs Minister of the state of Selangor praised the Islamic Badar vigilante groups, who had organised in 1994, to assist in the arrest of 7,000 individuals for engaging in "unIslamic" activities such as homosexuality. In 1994, the government banned anyone who is homosexual, bisexual or transsexual from appearing in state-controlled media. No political party or elected member of Parliament has formally proposed such a reform. Some members of the major opposition party have expressed support for such a reform, most notably Latheefa Koya, but this is not the official position of the party. There has been some public discussion about reforming the law so as to exempt private, non-commercial sexual acts between consenting adults. Vigilante executions, beatings, and torture are also tolerated, with the additional risk of being deported. In addition to the secular law, Muslim citizens may also be charged in special Islamic courts.

A subsection of the Criminal Code also provides additional punishment for men convicted of "gross indecency with another male person". Malaysia retains its colonial era criminal ban on sodomy (including oral sex involving the penis), broadly defined to include both heterosexual and homosexual acts, with possible punishments including fines, caning, and prison sentences of up to twenty years.
Sodomy is a crime in the country, with laws strictly enforced, and social attitudes towards the LGBT community are shaped by Islam, the official state religion of Malaysia. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender ( LGBT) persons in Malaysia face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Vigilante executions and beatings are also tolerated. Muslim citizens may be charged in Islamic court.
Up to 20 years imprisonment with caning, fines, and deportation.
