(Video) Indonesians React To Five Unique Laws From Malaysia

A Youtube Channel, About Sastra has uploaded a video reacting to 5 laws enforced in Malaysia, featuring his friend, Tika. The video that they react to is uploaded by TOP 5 MALAYSIA, another Youtube channel.

After their funny introduction, they seem to be intrigued by the use of the word “unik”, saying that they’d normally use “extraordinary” instead.

The first one on the list from the video already surprised them; which was Section 14, Small Errors Act 1995, mocking or insulting an individual in ways like actions, words, or language, to interrupt their peace. Similar to the rule under Section 233 (1) (b), Multimedia and Communication Act 1998 (Act 588), where cyberbullying takes place. Those charged against them can be punished by not more than one year of jail or RM50,000.

About Sastra was shocked at the fact that the suspect can be jailed for a year for something that was thought so menial. Tika, his friend, pointed out that Malaysia must be a country that is against bullying and how they hold respect for them for taking such a “small act” so seriously, in the name of defending their citizens.

For the next rule on the video, which is playing drums or trumpets from 12 am to 6 am in public spaces in cities or villages, that would interrupt the resident’s peace, can be charged under Section 13 (a) Small Errors Act 1955, with the maximum of RM100 fine.

They mentioned in Indonesia, people would play their instruments for up to 2 days, even in neighborhoods when there is a party or celebration.

Following the third rule, which they mention about singing or acting in a manner that promotes sex and unholy acts in public can be jailed for up to three months or fined. Fourth, Malaysia has also prohibited its citizens to name their child as fruits, animals, numbers, brand names, and even supernatural beings.

About Sastra and his friend pointed out that Malaysia has strict mannerisms and politeness, calling it the way of the ‘East culture,’ which they salute.

Coming up on the last rule in the video, the FINAS License, which prohibits Malaysians to do films or digital content without a license. The rule has ultimately been retracted as it received many backlash from the people.
