A deaf and mute Malaysian woman known as Manisah Manja from Alor Setar, Kedah, Malaysia faced backlash after it was revealed she was selling explicit videos on Telegram.
According to @/BMVFM on X, her activities were uncovered when a family member subscribed to her channel. Distressed by the discovery, the said family member urged her to stop, expressing they did not want to be complicit.
Explicit Transactions and Conversations Revealed
The situation took a turn when screenshots from the Telegram channel were shared online, showing not just the payments being made but also the conversations happening in the group.
The screenshots included payment receipts and messages thanking the woman and looking forward to the explicit content she was sharing.
These messages made it clear that people were paying to join a private Telegram channel where they could access explicit material.
Comments like “Ahh, your video is so good” and “It’s nice to see Wani’s body hehehe” showed the responses to the content, revealing the inappropriate nature of the group’s discussions and the content being shared.
Criticism of the Family Member Who Subscribed
Netizens have also criticized the family member who exposed the woman’s activities. Comments on the thread point out the perceived hypocrisy of the situation.
One user remarked, “This part doesn’t make sense. You subscribed and now you say you don’t want to be complicit?”
Another added, “Even Manisah Manja’s family member should repent for subscribing to explicit content. They’re telling others to stop but they were doing the same.”
A third user simply responded with, “Umm wtf?” expressing bewilderment towards this entire thread.
While the woman has faced considerable criticism, some social media users have shown sympathy, emphasizing the employment challenges faced by disabled individuals. They shared their two cents, “This is what happens when employers don’t hire disabled staff. What are we supposed to do?”
Low Employment Rates for Disabled Workers in Malaysia
According to the Malaysian Bar, individuals with disabilities, or Orang Kurang Upaya (OKU), face significant employment challenges. As of February 29, 2024, only 2.1% of Malaysia’s population holds OKU cards, despite the World Health Organization estimating that 16% of the global population has some form of disability.
This gap shows the ongoing barriers faced by disabled individuals in employment and other areas, largely due to the lack of explicit legal protection against discrimination in Malaysia’s Federal Constitution.
