FILMMAKERS Tan Meng Kheng and Khairi Anwar Jailani have filed a legal challenge against gag orders imposed on them from speaking publicly about the criminal charges they face.

The duo, the producer and director respectively for the movie “Mentega Terbang”, were charged separately under section 298 of the Penal Code at the Kuala Lumpur magistrates court on Wednesday for allegedly hurting religious sentiments by making the movie.
