M'sian sex bloggers allowed out to star in documentary
Malaysian sex bloggers Alvin Tan and Vivian Lee will be travelling to Singapore to star in a documentary about their lives, after a Kuala Lumpur court granted their application to travel out of the country until early June, news portal Malaysian Insider r
Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court judge Abdul Rashid Daud allowed the controversial duo, better known as “Alvivi”, to have their passports back until June 3. The prosecution did not object to their application, but reminded them to refrain from commenting on their ongoing cases while in Singapore.
The infamous duo was reportedly invited by a Singapore production house to speak about their lives in Singapore in a documentary.
The legal woes for Tan, a former National University of Singapore student, and his partner Lee began after they posted an offensive Ramadan greeting on Facebook last July.
The Malaysian authorities took the duo to court for inciting hostility between groups of different faiths, though the charge had been struck out last month on the grounds that it was not applicable to non-Muslims.
Tan and Lee, however, still face two other charges under the Film Censorship Act and Sedition Act. They were charged for uploading pornographic images on their blog, and sharing an allegedly seditious Ramadan greeting during the Muslim fasting month.
