KUALA LUMPUR, March 23 — The BFM radio station said it is “exploring all options” including seeking legal advice after police said they will investigate the producers and presenter of its “Kupas” show for blasphemy over a video critical of hudud.

The radio station’s spokesman, Ezra Zaid, also said BFM will cooperate with relevant authorities on the matter, as they have “consistently done with the past”.

“We are currently exploring all options which includes taking legal advice on the necessary steps forward,” he told Malay Mail Online yesterday.

English language daily New Straits Times yesterday reported Inspector-general of police (IGP) Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar as saying the police will investigate the producers and presenter of BFM show Kupas, following a public uproar over a recent video clip questioning the implementation of hudud in Kelantan.

He said the video’s creators as well as its presenter, Aisyah Tajuddin, will be called up for questioning under Section 298 of the Penal Code.

Khalid said the police decided to launch the probe after five police reports were lodged against the video, with the complainants claiming their religious beliefs had been mocked.

Aisyah has reportedly received numerous death and rape threats on various online platforms, following outrage over a video titled “Hudud Isi Periuk Nasi? (Kupas)” (Does hudud fill our rice bowls?) that was posted on BFM’s website and YouTube channel on Thursday. Khalid had said the police will also investigate those who have made the threats as well.

In the video, Aisyah points out that even as Kelantan is attempting to implement hudud, the east coast state is facing other problems like its homeless flood victims, as well as increasing drug and divorce cases.

BFM later removed the clip and apologised for any offence caused, saying that it was not meant to question the “desirability” of the Islamic penal code, but that it was a satirical commentary on whether hudud’s implementation should be Kelantan’s top priority in light of economic issues and problems faced by flood victims.

The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission is also investigating the clip under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 over improper use of network facilities.
