Let authorities decide, Anwar says to Najib’s bid to remove ‘Man on the Run’ from Netflix

PM refrains from interfering, emphasising that decision on documentary's fate should be left to authorities

KAJANG – The relevant authorities will decide whether the Man on the Run documentary will be removed from Netflix, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today.

“It’s just a documentary…let them (the authorities) consider it and do their job,” he told reporters when asked about it today after Friday prayers in Desa Pinggiran Putra, here.

Jailed former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak is seeking the removal of the documentary on 1Malaysia Development Bhd’s alleged mastermind, Low Taek Jho, from the streaming platform.

Najib’s lawyer, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, has sent a letter to Communication Minister Fahmi Fadzil, urging for the documentary to be removed.

The letter was also sent to Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) chairman Tan Sri Mohamad Salim Fateh Din and MCMC chief regulatory officer Datuk Zulkarnain Mohd Yasin.

It was also sent to Attorney-General Datuk Ahmad Terrirudin Mohd Salleh, the Kuala Lumpur Courts Complex, and the deputy public prosecutor’s office at the AG’s Chambers.

Shafee, in the letter sighted by Scoop, also urged the Communications Ministry and its agency, MCMC, to take action against director Cassius Michael Kim and the production crew with provisions under Section 211 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.

According to Section 211, no content application service provider or other person using a content application service may provide content that is inappropriate, obscene, fake, threatening, or offensive with the intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any person.

Shafee has claimed that Najib was misled throughout his interview during the making of the documentary, despite the director’s assertions that the former prime minister was well aware of his responses. 

Kim has dismissed Shafee’s claims and also said Najib’s push for the documentary’s removal only reveals his fear.

Najib, who was interviewed for the documentary on April 3, 2022, appears in snippets after the first hour of the two-hour film.

The former prime minister is currently serving 12 years in jail for corruption involving SRC International Sdn Bhd, a former subsidiary of 1MDB. – January 12, 2024
