Malaysian Film Directors Association wants 'Mentega Terbang’ director to apologise to viewers and Muslim community

KUALA LUMPUR, March 3 — The Malaysian Film Directors Association is disappointed with the content of controversial indie filmFDAM’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.

“FDAM felt that the public don’t have to watch the film to criticise it because the dialog and scenes are clearly insulting to Islam.“Just through a couple of scenes such as the dialog between the father and the daughter on choosing religion and the dialog on consuming pork have shown a clear message,” Ahmad said in the statement.

“Sensitive issues relating to religion are not something to be trifled with, be it through acting or anything else.
