‘Mentega Terbang’ filmmakers enter not guilty plea

KUALA LUMPUR: Two filmmakers behind the indie movie Mentega Terbang have pleaded not guilty to a charge of deliberately hurting religious sentiments, an offence that carries a one-year prison term if convicted.

The film’s producer Tan Meng Kheng and director Khairi Anwar Jailani were also both slapped with a gag order by the Magistrates’ Court here yesterday, which will prevent them from speaking publicly about their case.
