KUALA LUMPUR: The Federal Territory Perikatan Nasional (PN) Youth today lodged a police report against rapper-actor Wee Meng Chee, better known as Namewee, over his latest film poster which they claim touches on racial sensitivities.
The police report was made by Federal Territory PN Youth information unit member Mohammad Azwan Azmi at the Dang Wangi district police headquarters here this morning.
Azwan said the police report was made as the poster for his new movie, “Babi”, contains the words “Melayu Bodoh”, “India Keling” and “Cina Babi”.
“This insult and provocation is seen as outrageous and is a rude and insolent act. We fear it can cause interracial tension in Malaysia,” he told reporters after making the police report.
He said his party had also asked the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to block the content related to the film from being accessed by Malaysians through Namewee’s Facebook, Youtube and Instagram accounts.
