Instead of screaming blue murder at controversial videos online, the matter should be referred to the relevant authorities, advised Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Jailani Johari.

NONE "Whoever gets (hold) of these viral videos shouldn't disseminate them.

"Whenever someone sees or uploads (such videos), they shouldn't distribute it," he told reporters at a press conference at the World Press Photo (WPP) 2013 exhibition today.

Jailani ( left ) was responding to questions by reporters on the necessary actions needed to be taken by the public should they come across similar video clips in the future.

"If they feel (that the video) contains sensitive content, then they should call or lodge a complaint with (the relevant authorities) to pull it out," he said.

As of late, a string of videos touching on religious sensitivities have emerged.

The latest being that of a group of Buddhists meditating in a surau at a resort in Johor, which have sparked an outcry from Muslim groups.

The resort ' s owner, a 45-year-old Singaporean Muslim with Malaysian PR, has since been arrested and is being remanded to facilitate investigations.

Prior to this, a Muslim woman’s Hari Raya video with her dogs had also ignited a firestorm of protest.
