The 30-year-old, whose full name is Mas Hidzhir Khan Mas Fadzillah Khan, described the accusations as going overboard and vowed to put an end to them.
“I’m not one who gets bothered easily when people criticise me but this is too much.
“You can ask my former partners whether I’ve ever raised my hand against them,” he posted on social media.
Mas Khan said he is also collecting evidence of the rumours spewed by certain people and would bring them to court.
“I have screenshots of negative comments against me on social media and will teach these cyberbullies a lesson.
“Get your lawyers ready. I’ll see you in court,” he said.
This comes after a social media user accused Mas Khan of beating his ex-fiancée Diana Nasimuddin.The person also alleged that the actor behaved like a thug.
> Actress Anna Jobling says she has no qualms about acting with male colleagues who are already married as she is clear about boundaries to avoid being entangled in controversies, Harian Metro reported.
“I previously worked with actors who are married. If we don’t step over boundaries and have the mindset that work is work, it won’t turn into anything personal.
“I am also someone who never brings work into my personal life, so there’s no issue,” the 23-year-old said.
On scenes involving physical touch, the actress said she would hold prior discussions with colleagues and directors to ensure all those involved are comfortable.
“We also discuss what is needed and what we’re not comfortable with. We have to work professionally,” she said.
> The daily also reported Sherry Ibrahim describing her hike up Mount Kinabalu as akin to “going to war.”
The actress, who completed the hike up South-East Asia’s highest peak earlier this month, said it was one of the most valuable experiences in her life.
“Upon reaching the summit, I felt like I had achieved something even greater than being an actor. “It was as if I went to war as that was a truly challenging experience,” she said.“I learnt to appreciate my body, nature and those who take up jobs as porters. “They are the true heroes and should be given due recognition,” Sherry added.Despite experiencing a muscle tear in her right leg which hindered her ability to move, Sherry said her companions always made sure she was well.
