LFL: Hypocritical to praise Michelle Yeoh's Oscar win but probe 'Mentega Terbang'


PETALING JAYA: It is hypocritical of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and other government leaders to praise Michelle Yeoh's Oscar win when police are continuing a probe on a locally produced film, says Lawyers for Liberty (LFL).

LFL director Zaid Malek said it is distasteful for the government to "ride on the coattails" of Yeoh's acting success when the producers and actors of the independent movie "Mentega Terbang" are being investigated by police.
