"UNDILAH" video taken off the air
A video promoting the right to vote has been taken off the air by local broadcasters despite a push for greater democracy because it contains opposition figures and Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah's speech talking about Malaysia having problems.
The Malaysian Insider learnt that the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission MCMC directed local broadcasters this week not to use the public service announcement PSA produced by musician Pete Teo just days after its launch on September 16.
"MCMC emailed both Astro and Media Prima Bhd about the issue telling them the video clip should not be aired because Ku Li speaks about the country having problems and also because it features opposition leaders " an industry source told The Malaysian Insider referring to Tengku Razaleigh by his popular nickname.
