From some of these netizens’ perspectives, attending the Chinese funeral and paying last respects is not in line with the teachings of Islam.
Moreover, the negative group of people were also critical about the white T-shirt that actor Ozlynn wore when attending the funeral simply because other Chinese family members were wearing the same white T-shirt. What’s wrong with you guys?

Following the attack on his family on social media, Johan uploaded a photo that contained a heartbreaking message by his mother. According to Johan, his mother pretended to be happy even though she was sad.
Johan’s mother wanted him to tell the netizens who criticized their family that even though she had eaten pork, she is neither stupid nor smart. She is still learning about the religion.
