Even worse, when religious matter is intertwined with moral values by words uttered by the most unlikely human being who themselves, a slave of rabble-rousing chantings: fucking politicians.

So these people, this time trying to take on filmography, and trying to be smart by trying to take a piss out of it. This is how they put it into words they expect us (at least me) to understand:

Puteri Umno wants the Government to ban the production of “horror, mystical and superstitious” movies, claiming such films can weaken the faith of Muslims in the country. - The Star

It easily raised my eyebrow, and spoon the fucking anger out of me right from the beginning of the news.

Let me cool down and say this in English.

I am sure Puteri Umno were not born adults, and were at a point looking for some entertainment other than Spektra and Majalah 3. As for myself, while too much Pi Mai Pi Mai Tang Tu might do a boost to my Malay-comedy dexterity, it might stifle the development of other important areas of my brain. So it is not good. I did not know all these while a toddler, so I consider myself lucky for being flexible enough not to watch Pi Mai Pi Mai Tang Tu all day and switched to Mighty Morphine Power Rangers and Scooby Doo once in a while.

The first movie I watched was Anastasia, and I’ve always love Rudyard Kupling’s brilliant masterpiece The Jungle Book. Not to mention, Aladdin from the Arabian Nights. I even forced my dad to buy Aladdin the video game on Sega, out of the craze of the amazing film.

If not because of football, my relationship with my brother blossomed by his nick of teasing me to tears. One of the ways was through a film any kid my age would remember: It. He would remind me the look of the nasty clown’s face and would do voices to scare and throw me into panic, especially when parents are away at night.

I am completely sure you can come up with your own set of experiences about how fantasy, horror and superstitious movies, books or whatever touches you as you grow up.

Imagine life without Stephen King’s imagination, Tolkien’s world of fantasy and Rowling’s sea of creativity. I am sure Rowling wouldn't be a Rowling in the first place! And imagine life without Rowling. Millions of kids and adults would be left untouched by her amazing writing artistry.

She casually teaches her readers what it is like to paint emotion through writing, and if not because of Harry Potter success, she wouldn't be able to fund a number of NGOs dedicated to literally save life of million others like through Multiple Sclerosis Society of the UK.

Just to note, she lost her mother to Multiple Sclerosis, and one can imagine how big it is for her to contribute and fight against the disease, and fantasy world and her creativity gave her just that.

Brain is a complex organ, and should never be dealt with objectivity. It is not a good idea to base the decision to ban fantasy, horror and superstitious movies just because you feel it can weaken the faith of Muslims in the country.

One thing to consider, is it just Muslims you are talking to? Are other religions so perfect that their followers wouldn’t get their faith weakened by watching Harry Potter or The Exorcist?

Art is so beautiful that you can take the most dubious and ghastly element and turn it into something beautiful. Along with it, it is compulsory to tie messages and wisdom, and it is your choice to do it subtly or otherwise.

That is why Puteri Umno have to start reading Harry Potter, The Lord of The Rings, and start watching The Exorcist to understand subtle messages underneath superstitious elements we ought to think a disease to our soul. Brain is more subjective than you think it is.

Most importantly, it is good for them to learn the meaning of tact, of humility and wisdom, because too much talking is not good for the soul.

What about money politics, contempt and trash talking? I am pretty sure they are in fact things that can weaken your religious faith, mister. Oh, missy.

Akademi Fantasia? Terang-terangan unsur fantasi kan. Ha ha.

P.S. Picture, the making of a horror movie about a superstitious bloke living in a fantasy world. Tak lama lagi kena ban lah tu.

P.P.S. Thanks for the wishes guys. I was 21 years old many years ago.
