Will Man on The Run continue to air on Netfllix? The fate now depends on Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission who have said they will scrutinise the demand made by former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s lawyer.
The Communication Minister said he will meet with the regulator soon to scrutinise various legal aspects before any decision is made regarding the matter.
“MCMC and myself have just received the letter. Some initial views have been conveyed, but I think it needs to be given some consideration because we need to ensure it is based on the law.
“We need to examine this because it has been raised in court. So there are several things that need to be investigated, especially the legal aspects,” he said.
This comes after Najib’s lawyer demanded the government instruct Netflix to take down and prohibit the documentary’s airing related to 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). Shafee stated that ‘Man on the Run,’ written and directed by Cassius Michael Kim, is sub judice and detrimental to Najib’s defence in the ongoing 1MDB trial.
