The duo – Alvin Tan Jye Yee and Vivian Lee – who caused a scandal here and across the Causeway with their explicit sex blog in October last year, now appear to be out to nudge the sensitivities of Muslims during the holy month of Ramadhan.
In a photo posted on their Facebook fanpage, the pair is seen enjoying a meal of ‘bak kut teh’, a dish popularly known to consist of pork. The words “Selamat berbuka puasa (dengan bak kut teh…wangi, enak menyelerakan!)’ (Happy breaking fast (with bak kut teh….aromatic, tasty and appetizing) appear at the top.
These words captioned the photo: Izinkan kami memperkenalkan cara kami memupuk semangat 1Malaysia dengan bertukar-tukar makanan antara kaum-kaum Malaysia pada musim perayaan yang mulia ini. Hak untuk menikmati juadah enak tempatan seharusnya merentasi batasan bangsa dan juga agama. Kepada saudara-saudari yang beragama Islam, selamat berbuka puasa dan Salam Aidilfitri! - Sahabatmu, Alvin dan Vivian.
[Allow us to introduce our way of inculcating the the spirit of 1Malaysia and that is by exchanging food between the races in Malaysia during this holy celebration. The right to enjoy local delicacies should cross the boundaries of race and also religion. To Muslims, happy breaking fast and Salam Aidilfitri - Your friends, Alvin and Vivian).
Needless to say the post drew the wrath of not just Muslims, but Facebook users of various races and faiths who joined the bandwagon and slammed the couple for using the Halal logo on their photo and insulting Muslims.
