The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has been directed to take action on a YouTube video which allegedly insults Islam.

NONE Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Jailani Johari said the commission was instructed to immediately carry out investigations as the video could affect Muslim sensitivities.

"I’ve received many questions on this although the MCMC has yet to get any report on the matter.

"Therefore I directed the commission to investigate the video," he told Bernama in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

The video, which lasts 1 minute and 44 seconds, shows a woman known as Chetz strolling near a mosque with three dogs with the 'takbir raya' playing in the background.

The recording also portrays the woman in a black Baju Melayu performing ablution before preparing kuih raya for her dogs.

It also broadcasts the words ‘ Raikanlah Aidilfitri bersama-sama, tanpa mengira spesis, warna, asal usul’ (Celebrate Aidilfitri together regardless of species, colour, origin) while featuring a shot of the three dogs.
