Statement was clarification that I have nothing to do with the viral issue, says Fattah Amin

Malaysian actor Fattah Amin has issued a clarification through his legal representatives to distance himself from allegations of assaulting a domestic helper. The statement aims to prevent further misunderstandings and address claims that have begun to tarnish his reputation.

“

Actually, our lawyer already issued a statement recently. So I don't plan to comment further because I don't want to cause more confusion.

Amin, whose full name is Abdul Fattah Mohd Amin, explained that the legal statement was released because some individuals were unclear about the actual situation. He expressed surprise at how viral the issue had become, suggesting that a lack of clarity or understanding might have fueled the spread of misinformation.

We actually didn't expect the issue to go viral. Maybe some people were unclear, didn't understand, or didn't know the real situation.

"We issued that statement to clarify that I have nothing to do with the viral issue concerning this matter," Amin stated at the Picklebash 2.0 event. He emphasized his reluctance to comment further, as the case is currently under investigation by the authorities. "As far as I know, the case is still being handled by the police and lawyers."

So, we issued that statement to clarify that I have nothing to do with the viral issue concerning this matter.

The clarification follows a viral video depicting physical abuse against an Indonesian domestic helper. While the video circulated, some netizens made defamatory posts linking Amin and his wife, Amira. His legal firm, Arief & Iskandar Advocates & Solicitors, has since issued a statement denying any involvement by their clients in the incident, asserting that Amin and Amira are not the individuals seen in the video.

As far as I know, the case is still being handled by the police and lawyers.
