“Dear women, you must avoid men who expose you to great shame, he is in fact a masked demon who is trying to break a people (umat) and their family,” he wrote on his Facebook page today.

In an Instagram post yesterday, the Malaysian-Scottish beauty shared with followers that her decision to take off the tudung was not because of the recent controversy of an intimate snapshot with a friend that went viral last week but was done on her own accord.

The man in the photographs, Syed Abdullah Syed Abdul Rahman, has been receiving negative remarks on social media since the actress made the confession, causing the 27-year-old to address the comments.

Syed Abdullah admitted he was disappointed when he was said to be the cause of Emma’s decision that many viewed as inconsistent and volatile but remained positive.

 

“I take this all as a challenge. Thank you for your warnings, I appreciate the comments,” he wrote via the comments sections on Instagram.

The two who described themselves as close friends attracted unwanted attention last week over photographs that surfaced on social media and was forced to publicly apologise.
