COSMETICS entrepreneur Aliff Syukri Kamarzaman today gave his statement to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) in connection with the controversial Aidilfitri video clip.

He arrived at the MCMC headquarters in Cyberjaya at 9.58am and left the building at 2.41pm.

When met by reporters, Aliff said he apologised to those who were offended by the video and hoped that his family would not be dragged into this matter.

“Alhamdulillah, everything went smoothly. Thank you MCMC, for treating me well. I apologise to all who are offended by my song and video,” he said.

The video clip, depicting a group of male dancers in make-up who display effeminate behaviour, has courted controversy as it was said to be unsuitable for public consumption, especially during Ramadan.

Yesterday, Communications and Multimedia Minister Annuar Musa said MCMC had issued notices to individuals identified in the video to turn up at the commission’s headquarters.

He said MCMC’s preliminary study revealed that there are reasons for an investigation to be conducted and as such, an investigation paper has been opened under section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998. – Bernama, April 26, 2022.
