Pray, if you slander, that's excessive! - Norreen Iman

Malaysian actress Norreen Iman has appealed for positive prayers from the public after deciding to stop wearing the hijab. She stated that while she wishes for well-wishes, she is upset by those who have crossed the line with their comments, resorting to slander.

"Just pray for good things. But if it reaches the stage of slander, it's excessive (out of line)," Norreen said in a social media post. She had remained silent since the controversy erupted but felt compelled to speak out against the extreme reactions.

Norreen has not disclosed the specific reasons behind her decision to remove her hijab. However, her recent appearance, showing her with short hair and sometimes wearing a turban, has sparked considerable debate online. Many netizens have expressed disapproval, with some criticizing her actions and calling for a boycott.

"It's time to boycott her. Don't give this type of person a chance. She'll probably wear it again when she has no more job offers," one netizen commented. Another wrote, "Wants people to pray for good, but shows bad things to the public."

Previously, Norreen was married to Mohd Raizi Abd Razak in 2011, and they were granted a divorce in 2026.
