Malaysian girl group Dolla’s ‘immoral’ video pulled over religious backlash
Dolla’s label axed the retro diner-themed video after religious critics and officials slammed their styling as indecent
The video for “Question”, released in early November, featured the three members – Sabronzo (Wan Sabrina Wan Rusli), Tabby (Tabitha Ariel Lam) and Angel (Angelina Chai) – confronting a cheating boyfriend inside a retro American-style diner.
It disappeared from all platforms on Saturday, hours after Religious Affairs Minister Na’im Mokhtar had said the footage would be reviewed by Islamic authorities and could fall under sharia criminal provisions applicable to Muslims. Sabronzo is the only Muslim member of the group.
“Celebrities are role models. As Muslims, we must ensure our actions lead others towards good,” Na’im told local media.
The ministry is drafting broader dress guidelines for Muslim women in Malaysia’s arts scene, raising fears among activists that state oversight of creative expression will harden.
For me, the video is very immoral
