From the New Straits Times:
Actress Emma Maembong publicly apologises for her intimate photos which went viral today.
In her latest entry on her Instagram, she wrote: “I’d like to apologise to everyone for being careless. It (being photographed without a hijab and in close proximity with a man) was my mistake, not others. Thank you for your advice, and to those who are disappointed and upset with my actions, I sincerely apologise… Thank you for your support too. Love you guys so much. Again, I’m sorry.”
The photos showed her sans the headscarf and in a rather intimate position with Syed Abdullah Syed Abdul Rahman, the elder brother of Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq.
In a photo, Emma had her hand over Syed Abdullah’s shoulder, at a dining table, while another, depicted the pair in a room. Emma was sitting in between his legs.
According to a news report today, the photos had been taken sometime last week.
Here are the photos that upset the Malaysians so much (but no too much to avoid sharing them over social media):
The man’s brother was the sports minister who claimed that banning Israeli athletes from Malaysia was necessary because of Malaysia’s concern for “human rights.”
Malaysia does not mandate women wear hijab. Emma Maembong seems to have built her career on being covered, which is why these pictures are so controversial.
