: The Magistrate’s Court has set June 14 for the decision on the application by ‘Mentega Terbang’ film director and producer to refer the constitutional question regarding Section 298 of the Penal Code, involving charges of hurting the religious feelings of others, to the High Court.
On Jan 17, Mohd Khairianwar and Tan pleaded not guilty in two separate Magistrate’s Courts to a charge of intentionally hurting the religious sensitivities of others through their movie ‘Mentega Terbang’ last year at premises in Jalan Semarak Api, Kuala Lumpur, at 12.34 pm on Feb 26 last year. Earlier, Surendran argued that the offence element is unconstitutional because it contradicts Article 10 of the Federal Constitution.
“If the Section is declared unconstitutional, the charges against my clients would be nullified, and there would be no case against them,” said the lawyer who submitted the application under Section 30 of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964.
