Malaysia's government said Thursday that all Swatch products that contain lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer elements — including watches, wrappers and boxes — were banned, warning that anyone found with one could be jailed for up to three years.

The ban has been published in the Federal Gazette — which makes it official — as part of a printing law that includes distribution and possession, citing concerns that such products were detrimental to the nation's morality.

Malaysia, which is predominantly Muslim, already criminalizes same-sex relationships, with punishments ranging from caning under Islamic laws to 20 years in prison for sodomy under colonial-era civil laws.

In May, authorities raided Swatch stores and confiscated more than 160 watches from its Pride Collection. Some of the watches have rainbow colors while others are in a choice of six single colors that correlate to the gay pride flag, with two rainbow loops on their straps.

Swatch contested allegations that the watches were harmful, saying they carried a message of peace and love. The Swiss watchmaking company has sued the government for damages and for the return of the watches.

The Home Ministry statement said the products are "detrimental, or possibly detrimental, to morality, public interest and national interest by promoting, supporting and normalising the LGBTQ movement which is not accepted by the general public."

Anyone found in possession of such Swatch products face up to three years in jail or a fine of up to $4,375, it warned.

In July, the government cut short a music festival in Kuala Lumpur after the lead singer of British band The 1975 kissed a male bandmate during their performance in protest of the country's anti-gay laws. Footage of the kiss was posted on social media and sparked a backlash in the country. Malaysia also blacklisted the group from the country. The band later canceled its shows in Jakarta and Taipei.

No matter what branch of the military you are interested in joining, you're essentially going to follow the same process. Before sending in your application, you'll have to decide what branch you want to join.

You can choose to join the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard or the newest addition, Space Force. You can also decide to enlist in the National Guard.

You need to have a high school or general equivalency diploma (GED) to join the military. You can also decide to apply for one of the five military academies if you want to earn a college degree.

ALL ABOUT THE COAST GUARD: WHEN IT WAS ESTABLISHED, HOW TO ENLIST AND WHAT THE MILITARY BRANCH DOES

Here are the basic steps you'll need to take in order to enlist in the military and further information on military academies. 

The first step of the process is to send in your application through the military branch's website that you wish to join. You'll get connected with a recruiter who will help you get the process started. During these initial steps, you'll gain more information on the branch you are interested in, talk about your goals and make sure that you meet all the eligibility requirements needed to join, which may slightly differ depending on the branch.

The next step in joining the military is taking the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). This is a test that the military uses to help determine the right job for you.

There is also a physical exam needed to join the military, which includes both a medical evaluation and a physical evaluation. The fitness test differs slightly depending on the branch of the military you are joining. They typically include a variety of exercises like push-ups, sit-ups, planks and a run.

If you are joining the Navy or the Coast Guard, you'll also need to do a swim test as part of the fitness exam.

Once you've completed your exams, all recruits will have to complete basic training before beginning their job in the service.

Military basic training lasts between seven and 13 weeks, depending on the branch, and includes rigorous training for recruits.

For those who want to earn a college degree, possibly play a sport, become an officer and gain the core values of the military, applying to one of the five military academies in the country may be a good option.

The five are: the U.S. Military Academy (USMA) or West Point in West Point, New York; the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) in Annapolis, Maryland; the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA) in Colorado Springs, Colorado; the U.S. Coast Guard Academy (USCGA) in New London, Connecticut; and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) in Kings Point, New York.

Getting into a military school is a highly competitive process. The United States Naval Academy has the most competitive program with just around an 8% acceptance rate. West Point is also extremely competitive with a 10.7% acceptance rate. The Air Force Academy has a 12.4% acceptance rate, Coast Guard Academy has a 19.3% and Merchant Marine Academy has 25.2%, making all of these colleges very selective.
