Mentega Terbang

KUALA LUMPUR, March 3 — The Malaysian Film Directors Association (FDAM) is disappointed with the content of controversial indie film Mentega Terbang.

Ahmad added that FDAM also thinks that the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) should take action against the film as suggested by the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim). Ahmad said that the film’s director, Khairil Anwar, who is a member of FDAM, failed in terms of philosophical aspect and clearly breached the ethics of directing. FDAM’s president, Datuk Ahmad Ibrahim via a press statement said that they were taking the matter seriously as it touched on the sensitivity of the Muslim community in the country and for spreading messages that go against the Islamic creed.
