Series of Mean Comments from Malaysian Netizens to Bunga Citra Lestari who Returns to Singing After the Departure of Ashraf, Even Mentioning the Homeland Ustadz

Kapanlagi.com - Bunga Citra Lestari is still grieving over the departure of her husband, Ashraf Sinclair. Recently, she returned to singing at SQ Dome Cilandak on February 28th.

However, unfortunately, there are several netizens who commented on BCL's return to singing. Some of these netizens are from Malaysia, who consider BCL's return to singing to be too soon.

These comments were recorded through Hot FM's Instagram, one of the Malaysian radios that uploaded a video of BCL's performance at SQ Dome. Malaysian netizens commented that BCL should not have returned to performing yet.

1. Considered to Violate the Waiting Period

"Eh, still in the waiting period, right?" commented the account @abunouzeynaj. For your information, the waiting period itself lasts for 3 menstrual cycles or about 4 months and 10 days. The waiting period is intended for women who separate from their husbands due to divorce or death.

"Differentiate between people who have a salary and people whose salary never runs out for seven generations. After 3 or 4 months, sing as much as you want," commented the same account.

2. Bringing Up Ustadz

Some comments were also quite negative. In fact, there were those who even offended local ustadz (religious scholars) who were considered unable to advise BCL.

"What I find strange about Indonesia is that there are many ustadz, many knowledgeable people, but there is not a single person who advises on the proper conduct of an Islamic woman who lives after her husband's death," tweeted @iamnourrellmell311.

3. Indonesian Netizens Also Comment

Not only Malaysian netizens, but also netizens from our country have commented inappropriately. It is known through Instagram @nenk_update a while ago, an account named Gita Mandasari made a comment that can be considered inappropriate.

"BCL is so lucky. She must be happy because she will inherit all of Ashraf's wealth and then she will remarry and have fun with her new husband," she wrote.

4. Some Give Support

However, not all Malaysian netizens made mean comments towards BCL. Some gave support to BCL and understood the situation she is going through.

"She works for her child's sake so they can eat. If she cancels, how will she be sued?" tweeted @eykin_ismail.

"Just think positively, maybe her work contract has been going on for a long time, we don't know when death will come. BCL knows when her iddah period will end. BCL works in entertainment and still tries to be a strong woman in front of the audience. Even though her heart is still grieving. I know Ashraf's in-laws and family support BCL to resume her activities," tweeted @thea6650.

5. Keluarga Ashraf Bangga

There are also comments that singing during the Iddah period is allowed because the context is to earn a living, not to find another man. "For work matters, it is not a problem even during the Iddah period, she works to earn money, not to find a new husband," wrote the account @jahirahhassan.

Mohamed Anthony John Sinclair, the father of Ashraf Sinclair, is also proud of BCL for rising again after her husband's departure. The same goes for her sister-in-law, Aishah Sinclair, who is proud to see BCL singing again on stage.
