That's because public broadcaster Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) has banned the Luis Fonsi single, following complaints from conservative Muslim groups.

"We ask the radio stations to be sensitive to local norms and apply self-censorship of the song," the minister said, adding that stations should either take it down from airwaves or censor explicit parts of the song.
The single by Luis Fonsi featuring Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber was recently named the most streamed song of all time, with over 4.6 billion streams globally.

Its arts and culture chairperson Atriza Umar, noted in an interview that young children were singing the song without understanding its lyrics.
The song describes a sexual encounter between two people.
"['Despacito'] has caused a phenomena and it is now uncontrollable," she said.
Apart from its 44 public radio stations, the country has another 24 private radio stations, owned by Malaysian satellite TV giant Astro as well as academic and private ventures.
