Actor Jaa Suzuran has spoken out against the stigma surrounding single mothers, calling for greater respect and understanding towards them. The 32-year-old actor, whose real name is Mohammad Faizal Ahmad, expressed his dismay that some in society still look down on women solely based on their marital status.

Single mothers are actually very welcome to get to know. I want to emphasize one thing, sometimes when people hear that status, they start to look down and belittle. For me, that's a big mistake. In my eyes, they are very kind and good. I don't practice prejudice. Whether she is a widow or a maiden, to me, it's all the same. Everything comes down to the individual's attitude and behavior, not the title.

I am not the type to wait for people to approach me. I will take the initiative myself. Alhamdulillah, the response was indeed warm and there were those who were genuinely looking to make friends.

However, Suzuran mentioned he filters applicants, preferring those who have been single for at least a month, joking that some who just ended relationships were still in their "healing process."

From the experience I have, I can detect which one is good and which is not. Sometimes just through the way someone communicates, I can already judge.

When asked about the risks of seeking partners online, Suzuran, known for his role in "Autumn in Wales," expressed confidence in his ability to discern sincerity based on his experience. He believes he can gauge intentions through communication styles. He is looking for a compatible partner who is attractive to him, ideally someone who wears a hijab, though he remains open to guiding those on a path of self-improvement. Currently, he is casually getting to know a few individuals.

First, of course, a woman. Second, if possible, let's be on the same wavelength and beautiful in my eyes. What others say is not beautiful, that's up to them. If possible, one who wears a hijab, but if not yet, it's okay. We can guide them slowly.
