       THE Perak fatwa committee has declared the teachings of the “Si Hulk” cult, founded by Suhaini Mohammad, as deviant, Kosmo! reported.

       This follows similar declarations by the Johor and Melaka fatwa committees on May 30, 2021, which said that its teaching goes against Islamic belief, syariah and morals.

       Perak Mufti Datuk Wan Zahidi Wan Teh said the Si Hulk cult taught its followers, among others, that the Prophet Muhammad is God and he was neither a man nor a woman.

       “Its teachings misinterpret the Quran, specifically with regard to the forbidden fruit eaten by Adam and Eve, where it claims that the fruit was in reference to men and women’s private parts.

       “It also claimed that its ‘Si Hulk Water’ was bought from Prophet Muhammad himself and that many of its followers had a dream about the Prophet after drinking it,” he said in Ipoh on Sunday.

       Therefore, Wan Zahidi urged all Muslims in the country to stay away from Si Hulk teachings, while calling on those who were involved to repent.

       > Singer Aina Abdul and her attention-grabbing outfits once again made headlines when she was spotted wearing a massive red blazer on the Berita Harian Popularity Awards’ red carpet last Friday.

       Berita Harian reported that her red blazer was more than a metre wide and weighed 25kg.

       On top of that, she made her entrance by arriving in a “transparent lorry”, accompanied by an entourage of 20 people.

       According to Aina, she spent tens of thousands of ringgit on all the outfits she wore at the awards ceremony.

       “Previously, many people said I shouldn’t wear tight clothes and since I like oversized blazers, we decided to design this red blazer that took one week to be sewn.

       “Also, it was not my intention to arrive in a lorry. It is simply because the blazer was too big for a car,” she told the Malay daily.

       Aina also changed into a long dress that featured an oversized red rose on her chest.
