Dato Aliff Syukri has been causing a massive stir on social media soon after announcing that he will be releasing another Hari Raya song this year. For the uninitiated, the controversy sparked after the wealthy entrepreneur posted a teaser of the single, titled “Kelepok Raya” (a duet with his wife Datin Shahida) on his Instagram.
In the video, Aliff was also accompanied with a pair of male dancers in Baju Melayu outfits dancing suggestively to the song. Clearly, this didn’t sit well with many netizens. Recently, Aliff found himself receiving another round of backlash after he uploaded a short clip ahead of the premier of the song’s MV.

In the 24-second snippet, the 35-year-old was spotted lying on the ground with several other male dancers. He wrote on the caption, “(To those) who tend to criticise, please don’t watch the video. I hate you.” The comments section on the post has since been flooded with netizens expressing their disgust towards Aliff and the dancers.
“Am I the one feeling disgusted here? Aren’t you guys disgusted (after seeing the clip)?” Instagram user @miyamustafa.14 remarked. Wak Doyok was also seen leaving his comment on Aliff’s post. He wrote, “They look like maggots (sago worms) getting fried.” Here are some of the comments left by netizens on social media:
In related news about Aliff, the “Cuba Bahagia” singer took to his Instagram yesterday (Tuesday, 19th April) to share with his followers a video of him singing a part of the song in a recording studio. “Please give your honest comments about my singing. I swear, this is my real voice. I’m ‘anti-autotune’,” the D’Herbs owner wrote.
Many netizens have taken to the replies space to share their two cents on the matter, including Iqbal Zulkifli. According to Vida’s former love interest, Aliff has a nice singing voice that is on par as his. That being said, not all of them were on the same boat with the “Hujan” singer’s opinion. Many pointed out that Iqbal’s vocals is far superior than Aliff.
