Local influencer Ryzal Ibrahim or @ryzalibrhm on Instagram has come under fire for his provoking video seemingly targeted towards the B40.
In his video captioned "The Life Routine of The B40", he can be seen getting ready and putting on a few designer items including a Prada phone case with matching chain, a watch believed to be from the luxurious watch brand Bell & Ross, as well as a pair of Versace slippers. In the following scene, the influencer is shown shopping with his family and adding a couple cartons of Evians to his cart along with a few other items.
The poorly taste video is quick to gain traction online, slamming the influencer for his content. Many are criticising him for his satirical piece against the B40 community, calling it insensitive and unnecessary. Replying to one of the negative comments, Ryzal Ibrahim simply replied, "Let them realise how do we feel when the B40 make fun of T20. I won't be apologising for this one."
Below is the video in question:
The same influencer was nationally condemned back in 2021 for making insensitive comments towards the Iban community's Ngepan costume. Some netizens are speculating that perhaps he went to the same marketing school as another influencer slash business mogul Aliff Syukri, whose approach to marketing always seem to revolve around creating provocative content and advised others not to contribute to the engagements.
