KUALA LUMPUR: The recent leak of banned 2006 film Dukun has angered the National Film Development Corporation (Finas) and its director-general Datuk Fauzi Ayob. Fauzi said they were shocked by the "screening" of Dukun on the Internet and was awaiting a full report about it as well as feedback from the producers. “We've been working closely with the Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and the Malaysian Film Producers' Association (PFM) to crack down on film piracy, especially live streaming on social media. Fauzi added that Finas called on cinemagoers and netizens to give their fullest cooperation in bringing the video pirates to book. “Dukun” was supposed to be screened in 2007, but the National Film Censorship Board (LPF) banned it, stating that its storyline offended the families of the individuals portrayed in it.
