CYBERJAYA, December 13 – The Malaysian Artists Association (Seniman) was urged to lodge a complaint with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) against a film titled Pork, so that the agency can evaluate its content.
MCMC in a statement said today that the call was made following a police report made by Seniman yesterday against the film that was directed by Wee Meng Chee or Namewee for allegedly having elements of racism that tarnished the image of Malaysia.
“The content evaluation process can be carried out based on the provisions of the Communications and Multimedia Act (AKM) of 1998,” he said.
Investigations may also be conducted by other relevant enforcement agencies in accordance with the provisions of other applicable laws.
MCMC said the relevant agencies will take appropriate action if investigations reveal elements that violate provisions stipulated in existing laws.
On November 19, MCMC contacted YouTube following the release of the trailer for the film that was uploaded to Namewee’s YouTube channel, but is still awaiting feedback from the online video-sharing platform. – Bernama
