00:00The Kuala Lumpur High Court has refused to set aside the charge against the director and producer of local indie film Mentega Terbang for wounding the religious feelings of others.
00:11Justice K. Muniandi said there was no need to repeal Section 298 of the Penal Code, under which film director Kairi Anwar Jailani and producer Tan Meng King were charged.
00:22The judge said the provision blends well with Malaysian culture and is needed to preserve religious sensitivities.
00:30The court also said it was up to the prosecution to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Kairi and Tan deliberately wounded the religious feelings of others.
00:39The defendant's lawyer N. Surendran said they would be filing an appeal against today's decision.
00:45Kairi and Tan face imprisonment of up to a year, a fine or both if found guilty.
