NIBONG TEBAL, Aug 2- The Nibong Tebal Umno Youth and Wanita Umno Thursday lodged a police report against a video clip showing a woman celebrating Hari Raya with three dogs with ‘takbir raya’ playing in the background.
Nibong Tebal Umno Youth information chief Mohd Nor Hiesam Ismail said the woman’s action was rude, disrespectful and insensitive to Muslims, especially in the month of Ramadan.
“I hope that her action would be addressed as it could raise tension among the society, especially Muslims,” he told reporters after lodging a police report at the Seberang Perai Selatan district police station, here, yesterday.
He said the government should not compromise with those making fun of Islam as it gives a bad impression to the society.
Yesterday, Maznah Yusof, 38, also known as Chetz, was arrested at the Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department to facilitate investigations into the case under Section 298A of the Penal Code.
The 104-second video clip shows an individual walking with three dogs near a mosque with the “takbir raya” playing in the background.
It also shows the individual, clad in a black baju Melayu, washing her dogs’ paws, which mimicked the ablution performed by Muslims before prayers, and feeding her dogs Raya cookies.
The video also carries her Hari Raya greetings, “Raikanlah Aidilfitri bersama-sama, tanpa mengira spesis, warna, asal usul.(Celebrate Aidilfitri together, regardless of species, colour, origin).
