The police have opened an investigation paper on a video clip by singer and director Namawee for allegedly insulting Islam.

Penang Police chief Datuk Abdul Ghafar Rajab said they received several reports from non-governmental organisations (NGOs) against the song video titled 'Oh My God.'

"Preliminary investigation found that the video was shot at Masjid Terapung in Tanjung Bungah. The first police report was received on July 27," he told reporters here, today.

The 4:05 minutes video showing four men singing 'Oh My God' in a mosque went viral since yesterday.

The video has angered the public for allegedly insulting Islam.

Meanwhile, Timur Laut Police chief ACP Mior Faridalatrash Wahid said the four men in the video had angered Muslims for tarnishing the image of the mosque.

"The chairman of Masjid Terapung lodged a police report after he was told that the video of four men dancing and singing was shot in the mosque.

Mior Faridalatrash said the four men also shot song video in houses of worship such as temples and churches in the state.

"Police will summon Namawee and several people, including those involved in the making the video," he added.

The case is being investigated under Section 295 of the Penal Code.
