KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 1 — In a move likely to ruffle Perkasa's feathers, producers of “That Effing Show” aired a new video yesterday, taking the mickey out of the Malay rights group's Perak chapter for lodging a police report against its episode on the “Allah” controversy last week.

Titled, “Perkasa Terasa”, the three-minute, 28-seconds YouTube clip features three of the satirical online show's news crew - anchorman and co-writer Ezra Zaid, co-writer Umapagan Ampikaipakan, and creative producer Mark Teh - mocking Perak Perkasa for the report.

“All of us ... we were allegedly not to have been respectful to the sensitivities of Muslims in the country, specifically...” Ezra said, pausing before his colleagues chimed in together in unison:

“Video tersebut boleh dianggap menghina keputusan mahkamah dan ia juga telah menyinggung perasan umat Islam di Malaysia yang melihatnya,” Umapagan and Teh said, presumably repeating words from Perkasa's Wednesday report.

[Translation: The video can be deemed an insult to the court's decision and it also hurts the feelings of Muslims in Malaysia who watched it]

“To show that there is no offence taken to you taking offence, here's a quick shout out to our fellow brothers at Perkasa,” Ezra continued, before listing out several reasons why the Malay rights group should not have lodged the report.

Among others, Ezra pointed out that Perkasa and the crew at “That Effing Show” have “a lot in common”, citing as example the fact that both had kicked off operations in 2010.

“Kira sama gang la,” he said.

[Translation: We're the same gang]

Ezra also pointed out that in the Wikipedia page on Perkasa president Datuk Ibrahim Ali, the fiery Malay rights leader is described as a “comedian”.

“He likes comedy, I like comedy,” he reasoned.

As such, he told Perkasa there was no need to have taken offence to “That Effing Show's” previous episode on “Allah” and there was no need to have lodged the report.

“Tak macho,” he said. “Gentleman la. We minum kopi, main guli tepi sungai, hisap shi-sha,” he quipped, but his colleagues later shushed him on the invite to smoke shi-sha.

[Translation: Be a gentleman. We drink coffee, play with marbles beside the river, smoke shi-sha]

According to a Bernama report on Wednesday, Perkasa's Perak chapter lodged a police report on That Effing Show's 95th episode that was aired on YouTube on October 25, claiming it mocked the Court of Appeal's decision on “Allah”.

Its head Mohd Hafez Mubin Mohd Salleh together with 10 other Perkasa members lodged the report at the Ipoh police headquarters in Ipoh, at 1.44pm, the report said.

Mohd Hafez reportedly said that the six minutes, 30 second clip, titled “Allah, Apa Lagi?”, showed disrespect to the sensitivities of Muslims here.

Earlier this month, the Court of Appeal ruled that the Home Ministry’s decision to ban the use of the word in the Herald was justified, finding that the use of the word “Allah” was not integral to the practice of the Christian faith.

The ruling - which overturned an earlier High Court decision that the ban was unconstitutional - has since sparked confusion over the use of the Middle Eastern word by Christians in their worship, especially with conflicting opinions within the government itself on how far the ruling would affect practising Christians.

Churches in Sabah and Sarawak have said that they will continue their age-old practice of referring to God as “Allah” in their worship and in their holy scriptures.

Several ministers also said recently that the 10-point solution issued by Putrajaya in 2011 - which allows the printing, importation and distribution of the Al-Kitab, the Bahasa Malaysia version of the Christian bible, containing the word “Allah” - should stand, despite the appellate court ruling.

The Najib administration issued the 10-point solution shortly before the Sarawak state election in 2011 to end a Home Ministry blockade of shipments of Christian holy scriptures in the Malay language containing the word “Allah”.

The Cabinet, through Minister Datuk Seri Idris Jala, had stated in the resolution that the large Bumiputera Christian population in Sabah and Sarawak could use their holy books in the Malay, Indonesian, and indigenous languages.
