KUALA LUMPUR: Actress Puteri Balqis Azizi, 17, is furious that several netizens have been slandering her mother Norashikin Mohd Aziz over the last few years.
In a recent post on TikTok, Puteri Balqis shared how her mother, who is facing mental problems, read such negative comments which resulted in her depression getting worse.
"On TikTok, I have received more than 100 comments. All 100 comments are the same thing.
"There have been thousands of comments like this, for years.
"My mum doesn't have social media. But she was moved to read yesterday's comments."
Puteri Balqis said that her mother's depression had been diagnosed by eight specialist doctors from Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (HUKM) some years back.
"Mum has to always take her medication. Malicious lies traumatise her.
"Thank God she did not swallow all of her pills," said Puteri Balqis.
She added: "As a daughter I'm deeply hurt seeing what my mother has to go through every day.
"There are many horrible people out there.
"That is why I am rather reluctant to be interviewed."
Puteri Balqis said: "It is hard to focus on work when my mother is suffering.
"People don't understand how it feels seeing your mother being slandered all the time."
Puteri Balqis said that her mother had taken urine tests many times, but it was confirmed that she had not taken drugs.
Earlier, a TikTok user with the account name Pentafsir Senja wrote defamatory comments against the actress' mother.
The TikTok comment and account have now disappeared and are no longer found on the platform.
