SHAH ALAM - A billboard advertising the horror movie "Nun" has been altered in Bandar Sunway, Selangor.

The cross in the poster has been replaced with a ghost emoji.

The billboard was first shared on social media by Twitter user @10befiend, who posted a picture of it with the caption "Nun billboard in Bandar Sunway."

The post has since garnered over 38,200 views and received mixed reactions from netizens.

Some netizens were amused by the alteration, while others expressed their disapproval.

Twitter user @RafaYeoh commented, "This can't be real," adding laughing emojis.

Another user, @palmoswince, questioned why the cross was not simply pixelated.

It is unclear who is responsible for the alteration.

However, it is possible that it was done by the billboard owner or the movie's distributor in Malaysia.

The movie "Nun" is a spin-off of the 2016 horror film "The Conjuring 2." It is scheduled to be released in Malaysia on September 6, 2018.

The alteration of the billboard has sparked a debate about the role of religion in advertising.

Some people believe that the cross should not have been removed, while others believe that the alteration was necessary to respect religious sensitivities.
