Malaysian actress Izara Aishah recently came under fire when she uploaded a “controversial” photo on Instagram during Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
One picture in particular drew a ton of criticism and negative responses from the public. It was a snapshot of her hugging Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in an affectionate manner. Many thought it was inappropriate.
Following the backlash, Izara took to Instagram to offer a public apology to Dr Mahathir, Siti Hasmah, and their family. She wrote:
“Just like most Malaysians, I am always in awe every time I see YAB Tun Mahathir. A few days ago was no different, but I may have taken it a bit too far by posting a private moment during our family’s Raya visit. I regret that some have reacted negatively towards my posting, and to YAB Tun and family, I apologize for any hurt I may have caused for being overly expressive. Maaf zahir dan batin.”
The affectionate photo has since been deleted from her Instagram account.
