Those involved have been sent notices to show up at MCMC headquarters in Cyberjaya tomorrow morning, said communications and multimedia minister Annuar Musa.

He said a preliminary study showed there were reasons for an investigation to be conducted, and an investigation paper had been opened.

The music video entitled Kelepok Raya had drawn criticism for showing a group of male dancers wearing make-up and displaying effeminate behaviour. It was said to be unsuitable for public consumption, especially during Ramadan.

Annuar said the ministry had received complaints from the Prime Minister’s Department and especially from Jakim, the Islamic development department, and others.

Radio Malaysia closes Tagalog station

Annuar said the Cabinet had agreed that RTM’s Tagalog-language radio station should be closed as it could no longer be effective and the number of listeners were dwindling.

The Tagalog station was for the convenience of some residents in Sabah and the southern Philippines. However, the usual FM broadcast in Sabah was deemed adequate and the national and local languages effective enough on existing radio channels, he said.
