KUALA LUMPUR – The Federal Territory Perikatan Nasional Youth today lodged a police report against rapper Wee Meng Chee, also known as Namewee, over a poster for his latest film, Babi, which allegedly 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 at 11.07am.
Azwan said they had made the police report as the movie poster contained the words “Melayu Bodoh”, “India Keling” and “Cina Babi”.
“This insult and provocation is an outrageous, rude, and insolent act; it may cause interracial tensions 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 his Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram accounts. – Bernama, November 19, 2020
