Weekend Mail on May 26, reported that a clip depicting a woman resembling a local award-winning actress famous for her Pan Asian looks French-kissing a man had been widely circulated via e-mail.

The 18-second clip showed the woman kissing an Asian man wearing a grey blazer and pink and red shirt.

Wearing an off-white cardigan on top of an off white top and a pair of pinstriped pants, the woman in the clip bore an uncanny resemblance to the local actress.

The man she kissed in the clip was a dead ringer for a Singaporean TV and fi lm actor.

When Weekend Mail contacted the actress resembling the woman in the clip, she declined to comment.

She also refused to say if the clip was a scene leaked from a new movie, or if it was a footage shot without her knowledge and permission.

A check through the actress’s filmography could not connect the scene to any of the films she had acted in.

However, Weekend Mail came across a Singaporean TV series called Random Acts: The TV Series in which the two actors had acted in. This was confirmed by one of the directors, Esan Sivalingam.

Produced by Hoods Inc, the eight-episode TV series highlights problems often faced in society. It premiered in January on Singapore’s MediaCorp TV12 Arts Central, and ended its run in March.

The incident ignited a firestorm within the entertainment industry.

The Malaysian Indian- Muslim Congress’ secretarygeneral, Kamal Batcha Noor Mohideen, demanded that the actress apologise to Muslims in the country for the kissing scene, if it was indeed her in the clip.

Kamal, along with three other senior members of the organisation, lodged a police report against the actress for her alleged indecent behaviour, which they claimed had a negative impact on Muslims.

Karyawan president Freddie Fernandez also called on the actress to own up.

“It’s bad that something like this is being viewed by people in the country, especially if it happens to be something that is meant to be private.

“I don’t want to pass judgement without evidence, so I’ll leave it to the actress to own up. She should know what’s best for her,” said Fernandez.
