Fugitive Alvin Tan is under the spotlight again, this time with a video on his official Facebook page lampooning the azan, or the Muslim call to prayer, with an R&B cover.
In the two-minute-and-50-second video, Tan appears topless with a pair of sunglasses on, and plays a keyboard while reciting the azan in full.
“My latest goal is to get all mosques in Malaysia to play my cover instead of having them old geezers hunched over the mics (microphones), straining their vocal chords and cracking their voices,” he said in the sarcastic status update that accompanied the video.
At the time of writing, the video has received over 100 likes and over 700 shares, nine hours after it was published.
Despite his antics, several Muslims who commented on his post asked other adherents to have mercy and patience for Mr Tan, with some even commenting that he was now “one step closer” to Islam.
“Patience... Relax. He wants to provoke us. Remember that the Prophet although he was pelted with excrement and garbage, he kept preaching Islam with smiles to his enemies,” said a comment by a user called Mr Halimi Noordin, which received over 100 likes.
“Without him realizing it, he bore witness that there is no God besides Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. Allah is great. Hopefully he will receive guidance from Allah and this will give a lesson to infidels who tease Islam,” said a comment by user Mr Shah Shafeeq.
