The trailer for a film - entirely funded by a National Film Development Corporation (Finas) as well as a Multimedia Development Corporation (Mdec) - showed scenes of Chinese mobs marching by a streets of Kuala Lumpur after a success of a opposition parties in metropolitan elections

When contacted, Tanda Putera's executive refused criticism upon a matter, arguing which a film should be screened to a public initial before it can be reviewed.
"I am retiring to answer which subject as people have not watched a film yet. It is better for them to have watched it first," pronounced Shuhaimi.
Scheduled for recover dual months from right away upon Sept 13, Finas has however had put off a recover of a film until a after date, nonetheless to be announced.
While progressing it was reported which a postponement was since of a imminent ubiquitous election, Finas after clarified which it was since they wanted to prolong promotional activities.
Some netizens has additionally pounded a movie's storyline for assumingly being an try during brown-nosing to a powers-that-be as well as a propaganda square to drum up support for a statute coalition.

Not even in KL
we was in Sabah upon Jul 20 upon a three-day revisit with DAP MP for Segambut Lim Lip Eng. On a very same night during a DAP Inaman Sepanggar ceramah, we referred to a Malaysiakini inform upon a May thirteen film as well as denied in a strongest possible conditions which we had "urinated during a feet of a flagpole temperament a Selangor dwindle during a afterwards Selangor MB's Harun Idris' house" as progressing claimed by a film progressing Facebook page, as well as sparking a May thirteen riots as we was simply not in Kuala Lumpur upon May 11, twelve as well as thirteen of 1969!
Even a sketch which was used in a movie's progressing Facebook page was not a sketch taken in 1969 though was from a different situation in Sabah 15 years after in1984!
In a past fortnight, a multitude of UMNO/BN cybertroopers have escalated their debate of downright lies as well as dangerous falsehoods formed upon a movie's "urination" episode to stimulate racial hatred as well as criticise inhabitant togetherness completely preoccupied which this is a month when all Malaysians should have a special effort to come together as Malaysians, in any case of race, religion or segment to emphasize as well as underline their common temperament as Malaysians.
The spokepersons of a film have pronounced which ! a film w as formed upon a lot of research, such as study documented materials as well as photographs, to have sure a scenes were corroborated by chronological facts.
Where were a documented materials as well as photographs which we had urinated "at a feet of a flagpole..at a Selangor MB Harun Idris' house" upon May 11, twelve or 13, 1969 when we was never in Kuala Lumpur? For which matter, where have been a documented materials or photographs to show which there was such an situation as well as which it was not a small figment of a imagination?
The White Paper released by a National Operations Council in 9th Oct 1969 entitled "The May thirteen Tragedy" done no reference to any such urination incident.
If a film Tanda Putraja gives a biased as well as unbalanced account of a May thirteen tragedy in 1969, it will be a means of grave inhabitant disagreement as well as conflict upon a occasion of a 55th National Day/49th Malaysia Day, creation a sum mockery of a 1Malaysia objective to build a united Malaysian nation!
