The recent media controversies in Malaysia began with the 'nude squats' incident and moved into the infamous and imported international controversy over carricatures of the Prophet Muhammad by Danish cartoonists.
That issue has now become the subject of an international debate over the right to expression versus bad faith in insulting Islam.
As stated earlier, I would view it as anthropomorphisation versus the 'limits of faith' debate. In our case, both the media controversies relate to the issue of rights to expression versus what is 'right'.
