I was deeply offended by ‘Mentega Terbang’, witness tells court
Yamna Ismail, who lodged a police report after watching the film, says it could lead Muslims astray in matters of faith.
Yamna Ismail, a 39-year-old Muslim housewife, testified in court that the film "Mentega Terbang" deeply offended her and hurt her feelings. Released in November 2021, the film was subsequently banned by the Malaysian Home Ministry in September 2023. Yamna's testimony, presented as part of the criminal trial against director Khairi Anwar Jailani and producer Tan Meng Kheng, revealed that several scenes of the film had offended her religious sentiments.
She specifically cited scenes dealing with faith, reincarnation, prejudice, double standards towards Islam, and comparative religion as particularly insulting and blasphemous.
