Why is Malaysia so fascinated by Nur Sajat, the transgender tycoon who fled to Thailand?
The beauty entrepreneur, who built a successful cosmetics company, is wanted by Malaysian police for allegedly insulting Islam
Her courage to live as an openly transgender woman, and her business success and reality TV show, made her a household name in her home country.
When news broke last week that prominent Malaysian transgender businesswoman Nur Sajat was detained in Thailand over an invalid passport, she trended to the top of Twitter.The 36-year-old Muslim cosmetics entrepreneur disappeared from Malaysia in February after being accused of insulting Islam by dressing as a woman.

Meanwhile, Thailand is mulling over their decision on whether or not to deport the wanted Nur Sajat back to Malaysia. The process of her deportation is currently ongoing but it could take time as right groups have urged Thai authorities not to deport the queer businesswoman as she could face the ill-treatment of transgender people in Malaysia.

Thai foreign ministry spokesman Tanee Sangrat said the government was “considering this matter based on the law and Thailand’s humanitarian principles”.

Meanwhile we have these clowns protesting in front of Australian Embassy. 🙄
Ketika usahawan kosmetik, Muhammad Sajjad Kamaruz Zaman merancang untuk berpindah ke Australia, muncul 5 pertubuhan badan bukan kerajaan (NGO) untuk menghalangnya. 5 NGO ini telahpun ke Kedutaan Australia hari ini menyerahkan memorandum bantahan untuk memastikan Sajat tinggal di Malaysia dan tidak berpindah ke Australia.

Menurut laporan dari Harian Metro, lima wakil NGO itu iaitu Persatuan Pengguna Melayu Malaysia (PPMM), Pewaris Malaysia, Pertiga Malaysia, Harimau Bukit dan Warisan Takwa Malaysia telah buktikan keseriusan mereka dalam hal ini.

Sajat dilaporkan telah memohon kad pelarian untuk berhijrah ke Australia. Ibu pejabat Suruhanjaya Tinggi Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu Mengenai Pelarian (UNHCR) di Bangkok juga sudah menyediakan peguam untuk Sajat dan membantunya untuk mendapatkan kebenaran berpindah ke Australia.

Presiden Persatuan Pengguna Melayu Malaysia (PPMM) Che Hassan Che Johan berkata, pihaknya bersama rakan NGO Islam lain berharap pihak berkuasa Australia tidak melayan sebarang permohonan dikemukakan.

“Cukuplah dengan tindakannya yang menconteng arang, memalukan imej Malaysia dengan lari keluar negara. Dia menjadi contoh tidak baik apabila meloloskan diri dengan kuasa duit.

“Perkara ini tidak sepatutnya berlaku jika kita mempunyai integriti yang tinggi. Jadi isu seperti ini perlu diambil tindakan tegas, tidak boleh dikompromi dalam apa keadaan sekalipun,” katanya kepada Harian Metro.

Nampaknya 5 NGO ini berharap Sajat kembali ke Malaysia dan menghadapi perbicaraan yang sudah tertangguh sebagai satu proses undang-undang di negara ini.

Ahli perniagaan ini kini menggunakan nama Bella ketika berada bersama rakannya di Bangkok Thailand. Usahawan itu juga dikatakan mempunyai kad UNHCR sebagai jaminan tidak ditahan pihak berkuasa.

Switzerland same-sex marriage: Two-thirds of voters back yes
Sos: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-58696604

I'm a bit surprised by the size (2/3) of the majority in favor, I've regarded Switzerland as one of the more conservative countries in Europe.
Anyhow great for the swiss.

pusyed official (wtf this name) butthurt seeing Malay lady marrying her wife in overseas.
Well first of all she's no longer staying in Malaysia. So these religious bigots are upset they cannot cane this lesbian couple in public like the one in Terengganu 3 years ago? What kind of tindakan they expect to be done actually? They wanna come to France and cane them both there???
Forbidden or not,her sins and salvation is on her only,not for you all here to condemn. Let the Lord be the judge Himself why many sibuk sangat nak jadi Tuhan?



Edit: just realized that was Haflin Aziz young sister who posted controversial YouTube videos few months ago about her relationship. Big 🦅🦅🦅 clan.
Sorry to the religious pipits here coz they're the untouchables.

It is normal among them. Most of them think they are closer to the God just because they do not support LGBTQ. But they forgot that they themselves are sinner at first for condemning other. Let alone their busybody and jealousy which are big sins in the eyes of God.

Mean Girls' Jonathan Bennett and Jaymes Vaughan Wed in Inclusive Ceremony: 'We're So Blessed'

Jonathan Bennett and Jaymes Vaughan are officially married!

The Mean Girls actor — who got engaged to the TV host in Nov. 2020 — and his groom celebrated their love in front of their closest friends and family in an inclusive, destination wedding on Saturday at the Unico Riviera Maya Hotel in Mexico.

"When you're part of the LGBTQ+ fam, not everything in the wedding space is for you yet," Vaughan tells PEOPLE. "The whole purpose of our wedding is to come together and join the two of us together, join our families together and start a new family."

"And all that, as we were going through this process, we realized that our wedding is also more than just about us," Bennett adds. "It's about the entire community."



The newlyweds skipped a typical wedding walk down the aisle. Instead, they chose to meet one another at the altar after walking in from the beach to a song that Vaughan wrote for Bennett at the couple's engagement.

Each man wrote his own vows and placed a diamond-encrusted Kay Jewelers ring on the others' hand.
"[It was a] new tradition we created," Bennett adds, while mentioning the rings are now actually for sale in the retailers' stores. "That's what we're all about."

For the floral arrangements, the couple chose white roses in honor of Bennett's late mother. Guests also honored her memory by wearing only shades of white so Bennett could feel her presence on his big day — continuing the wedding party's attire theme.
"I got to marry my best friend! I knew we'd be emotional but I don't think either of us realized just how overwhelming that moment would be until we were in it," Vaughan tells PEOPLE. "Seeing him crying only made me cry harder, and then our guests cry harder, and then we'd all start laughing, and then all back into crying."
