It’s a reminder for all of us to uphold our core Asian values of mutual respect and living in harmony. Thank you, fellow Malaysians, for making it clear that his actions crossed the line and went against our Rukun Negara. Even the most liberal among us would be offended by such deliberate disrespect toward Islam. At the end of the day, we just want to live in peace—and for those who didn’t know,
what he did went far beyond what he claimed in his posts.
A. Criticising Islam openly – Alvin Tan compared Islam to Nazism and called it a "dangerous ideology." He pushed for the separation of mosque and state.
B. Mocking Islamic practices – In 2015, he posted a video of himself singing the Azan (call to prayer) while playing a keyboard, which many viewed as disrespectful.
C. Desecrating the Quran – He later uploaded a comic strip showing himself defecating and wiping with a page from the Quran, sparking outrage across the Muslim world.
D. Provocative Ramadan post – He and Vivian Lee once posted a “Selamat Berbuka Puasa” greeting with a pork dish (bak kut teh), which was seen as mocking Muslim fasting practices.
E. Fleeing from court – While on bail for sedition and obscenity charges, he left Malaysia and refused to return, avoiding court proceedings.
F. Posting explicit content – On his blog “Sumptuous Erotica,” he shared nude photos, sex videos, and personal writings, challenging local social norms.
G. Promoting atheism aggressively – He often attacked religious beliefs online and declared religion, especially Islam, as a threat to freedom.
H. Boasting about porn career – He openly spoke about joining the adult film industry and justified it as an act of free expression.
I. Insulting Malaysian institutions – He regularly criticised the Malaysian monarchy, government, and legal system in his posts and interviews.
I know he’s chosen his path. But if he were my friend, I’d still tap him on the shoulder and ask to talk, heart to heart. I’d want to understand why he holds such a deep grudge against Islam—“Who hurt you, bro?” I say that with sincerity, because I know some people carry real pain. I believe no one becomes bitter without a reason. And as Malaysians, we’re like siblings—we only have each other, and only we can help each other heal.
Imagine all the years of lost opportunities spent fighting a battle he’ll never win—pushing for an atheistic or secular Malaysia. It’s not something that will happen, not even in a hundred years. We need that same courage and energy, but channelled in the right direction. Just imagine if he had grown wiser, with the right mindset, and became a political leader—he could’ve been a promising anak muda. Sad.
