Jakim backs decision over 'Madu atau Racun', lodges report with MCMC
KUALA LUMPUR: The Islamic Development Department (Jakim) has backed the decision by the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) to reject the airing of Madu atau Racun , a drama series.
The Islamic Development Department, Jakim, has expressed support for the decision made by the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, responsible for Religious Affairs, to disallow the broadcasting of the drama series "Madu atau Racun." Jakim's backing stems from their belief that the drama, accessible via the iQIYI platform, includes content that clashes with religious and cultural principles, leading to widespread apprehension.
This matter has been closely tracked according to Jakim's broadcasting guidelines, Jakim Bil. 4/2015. They have reported this issue to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and promise to collaborate with pertinent organizations such as MCMC and the National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (Finas) to guarantee appropriate measures are enacted in line with the law.
The Communications and Multimedia Content Forum Malaysia (CMCF) will convene with the drama's producers and representatives from iQIYI to address the situation.
