The ‘Mentega Terbang’ filmmakers’ application to refer two constitutional questions on the charges of wounding religious feelings under Section 298 of the Penal Code, will be heard on Oct 24 at the High Court here.
The two questions are to determine whether or not Section 298 of the Penal Code violates Article 10 of the Federal Constitution, which protects freedom of speech; and whether or not the phrase “wounding the religious feelings of any person”, an element in the offence, violates the rights to a fair trial as the phrase is ambiguous and thus contravenes Articles 5 and 8 of the Constitution.
On Jan 17, Khairianwar, 32, who is also a scriptwriter, along with Tan, 36, were charged with offending religious sentiments through the film by allegedly uttering audible words and displaying objects at a location on Jalan Semarak Api at 12.34 pm on Feb 26 last year.
