Actress Slams Influencer for 'Hate Speech,' Urges Focus on Well-being

Malaysian actress Sharifah Sakinah has voiced strong criticism against fitness influencer Tareq Fit, accusing him of increasingly resorting to provocation and personal attacks rather than focusing on health and wellness content. Sakinah, who previously followed Tareq's content due to her passion for the fitness industry, expressed deep disappointment with his shift towards negativity and online confrontations.

“

Saya sangat sukakan industri kecergasan dan kesejahteraan, sebab itu saya rasa kecewa apabila dia mula memuat naik kandungan yang menyerang ramai orang.

Sakinah emphasized that true well-being originates from a healthy mind and urged Tareq to address his emotional state and communication style. She metaphorically stated that speaking with hatred is akin to 'collaborating with the devil,' highlighting the detrimental impact of such discourse. As a veteran in the fitness industry, Sakinah has observed the prevalence of shortcuts, including steroid use, but firmly believes in a natural and balanced approach to achieving fitness goals.

“

Bagi saya, kesejahteraan itu bermula daripada minda. Aku minta maaf Tareq, tetapi kau kena rawat emosi, minda dan cara percakapan.

She advocates for following credible influencers and certified nutritionists who are genuine in their advice and not solely motivated by financial gain. Sakinah also extended her support to other industry figures targeted by Tareq's criticism, praying for his eventual realization and a change in his approach. She views fitness itself as an art form, encompassing everything from breathing techniques during exercise to the way instructors communicate, and questions why Tareq would label this art as 'haram' (forbidden).

“

Apabila kau bercakap dengan nada kebencian, itu bermakna kau sedang bekerjasama dengan syaitan.

While acknowledging Tareq's potential intention to raise awareness, Sakinah implored him to convey his messages with love and compassion. She urged the public not to attack him but to pray for his guidance, emphasizing that constructive dialogue and positive reinforcement are more effective than condemnation. This incident highlights a growing concern within Malaysia's vibrant social media landscape regarding the responsible dissemination of information and the impact of online negativity on individuals and communities.

Tetapi selepas sekian lama, kita perlu kembali kepada perkara semula jadi dan keseimbangan. Saya hanya akan mengikuti pempengaruh atau pakar nutrisi yang bertauliah, ikhlas dan tidak bekerja semata-mata kerana wang.
