PETALING JAYA – Sex bloggers Alvin Tan and Vivian Lee are again in the spotlight for the wrong reason.
This time, instead of posting videos of them having sex they posted a Selamat Berbuka Puasa message on their joint Facebook page.
But the message was posted along with a photo of them eating bak kut teh (a kind of herbal pork stew) and described it as “wangi, enak, menyelerakan” (fragrant, delicious, appetising).
Alvin Tan confirmed that they posted the greeting when The Star contacted them.
He said it was for “no reason. Just a joke, I guess”.
When asked if he regretted posting it, Tan said “not yet…”.
“Yeah, in a way. I don’t know. I was just curious to see how people will perceive it. It seems not everybody is on the same page as us. It is dark humour. It is just our attempt to see how it will be perceived. It is just trying to be humorous on the matter,” he said in a phone interview with The Star Online.
To him, the unfavourable response shows that “people don’t see the humour, people are mostly angry and upset”.
As to whether he will delete the posting, Tan said he would probably take it down, but “by now, many have shared the picture.”
The post received hundreds of comments mostly slamming the couple for their insensivity.
