Responding to the situation, Muaz stated, "I don't know if the video exists or not."

Saya tidak tahu sekiranya video itu wujud atau tidak.
Muaz conveyed his apologies if past events have caused dissatisfaction to any parties, emphasizing his belief that people are not born "villains" but are shaped by their environment. He urged everyone to move forward, stating, "I hope everyone moves forward because the earth keeps spinning." He reiterated his unawareness of the video's existence, noting that the matter was settled and apologies were made at the time, even without confirming or denying the allegations.

Maintaining a positive outlook, Muaz believes that everything happens for a reason and is open to meeting the individual involved to find an amicable resolution if past apologies were insufficient. "I am a very positive-thinking person. I believe every event that happens must have a lesson," he remarked. He expressed a desire to prevent the issue from escalating further and is willing to discuss the matter to achieve a positive outcome.
Namun, dengan rendah dirinya saya minta maaf kalau perkara yang pernah terjadi itu dibawa sampai ke hari ini sehingga menyebabkan ada beberapa pihak yang tidak berpuas hati.
From a Malaysian perspective, this situation highlights the complexities of celebrity relationships and the public's fascination with personal lives. While international media might focus on the scandal itself, local reporting often delves into the personal statements and emotional responses of the individuals involved. Muaz's calm and measured response, emphasizing forgiveness and moving forward, reflects a cultural inclination towards resolving disputes peacefully. His openness to dialogue, rather than outright denial or confrontation, is a characteristic often seen in public figures navigating sensitive personal matters within the Malaysian context.
Saya berharap semua pihak bergeraklah ke hadapan kerana bumi ini berputar. Tetapi saya tidak menghalang apa orang mahu keluarkan dan lakukan
