A female TikToker became an instant online sensation after many netizens pointed out her striking resemblance to the businessman who is now being hunted by the authorities, Jho Low.
One of the many hilarious comments that the girl (known as Eiqa Maleq) received reads, “I was shocked! I thought Jho Low was wearing a hijab.”
In response to a netizen’s comment, Eiqa uploaded an edited video of her with the notorious entrepreneur on her TikTok. The video was met with overwhelming amount of responses from local commentators. Most of them were greatly amused by the fact that the two of them look shockingly alike. To quote one user, “Both of you guys could pass as a father-and-daughter duo!”
So how does Eiqa feel about people comparing her to the wanted fugitive? In an interview with mStar, she revealed that she didn’t expect to receive such comments coming from netizens. “The first time I came across the comment, I laughed. I even Googled him because I wanted to take a look at his face. I wasn’t sure which part (of our faces) look the same.” she said.
Take a look at some of the bone-tickling comments that we found online here:
Eiqa added by saying, “I saved his photo afterwards. Then I thought, maybe I can come up with a simple video on TikTok to address the similarities, because I myself was also amused. I didn’t expect the video to blow up. I didn’t expect that many people would respond to my post. Some of the hilarious comments that I receive include, ‘Give Malaysians their money back’. Some even asked me to reveal his current whereabouts.”
“In my opinion, the reactions left by netizens on TikTok were mostly positive. I didn’t even take all the remarks to heart. I’ll take that as a joke instead. Just so you know, this was my first time seeing people compare me to Jho Low. Back then, others used to say that I look like Michael Ang!” the Sungai Besar-born content creator was quoted as saying.
During the chat, the 26-year-old revealed that she has been active in producing content on her social media since the beginning of last year. Eiqa shared, “I came up with a video content previously, and it went viral. Following that, I decided to pursue a career in this field. I often post reviews for TV series, movies and also songs on my social media. Sometimes, I also post random content online.”
