Neelofa had been making headlines since her wedding on 27 March and most of them weren’t that positive.
Despite allegedly being non-compliant with the COVID-19 SOPs on her Chatime-Langkawi controversial work trip, she had gotten herself attention once again after launching a new slipper in collaboration with local footwear brand, Fipper.
Halal Sandals?
One of the selling points of the sandals were “Muslim Friendly”. The slip-on sandals comes with a comfort dual-layer rubber strap and moisture absorb finishing and it is priced at RM79.90 a pair, which comes in 4 colours.
This immediately caught the attention of netizens and it wasn’t for a very good reason too. Netizens had accused her of taking advantage of her religion to market such a product, labeling her “Penunggang Agama”.
As the saga continues, Fipper had stood up and explained that their previous products were less suitable with a ‘muslimah’. Despite being marketed as “Muslim-friendly”, non-Muslim women and men who wear socks can also use the Fipper x The Noor sandals.
However, this had not change netizen’s perception about how the product is marketed and more had join to comment on the sandals.
