La Luna has faced criticism in Malaysia for allegedly insulting Islam and promoting soft pornography after it was released on the streaming platform Netflix in February. Although the film premiered in local cinemas last November, the controversies surrounding the Singapore-Malaysia co-production only emerged when it gained popularity globally and topped the charts on Netflix.

Directed by Singaporean director M Raihan Halim, the Malay-language comedy tells the story of a city girl opening a lingeries store in a conservative village, portraying clashes between feminism and conservatism through humour.

How does La Luna reflect the anxieties within the Muslim community in Malaysia? In the era of globalisation, what insecurities and resistance do traditional Malay communities experience? How should the conflicts between personal freedom and tradition be navigated and balanced?

In this episode of Global Heartbeat podcast, host Han Yong Hong and Malaysia’s independent political commentator Lim Hong Siang share their thoughts on how La Luna has highlighted the conflict between modernisation and religion.
