Abang Bas Who Was Arrested for Filming Minors Claims Girl is His Niece, Calls for People to Stop Slandering Him
ICYMI, several days ago, a 24-year-old bus driver was arrested after posting content about primary school students on his TikTok page and calling one of them his ‘crush’. He even woke a girl up in one of his videos by holding her lips. In another video, he took off the hijab of a young girl before kissing her on the cheek. There was outcry online after the videos went viral, with many netizens deeming his behaviour disturbing and inappropriate. When we last checked on September 6, the TikTok page of Abang Bas was apparently deactivated.
Here is one of the already deleted videos:
However, the young man is back on TikTok, hoping to clear his name. It is not entirely certain if it is the same individual as the TikTok username is different. As of the time of writing, @muhdhadhim, who goes by the name ‘Abang Bas’ has posted 8 videos on the issue.
In the first video, he wrote, “Assalamualaikum, everyone. I will not stay silent towards netizens who have accused me of this and that and I will fight back!!!”. In the comments, many netizens seemed to support him; some even said he should clear his good name.
In another video, he wrote, “If I really have evil intentions towards the schoolchildren, I would’ve done inappropriate things towards them. But that is not my intention. I am the type who is always friendly towards children and you can see that the child I always hold, carry, and wipe sweat for is my niece. I also have the brains to not treat the children of others as I like.”
“To the media who want to accuse me, wish to make attention-catching headlines, to the influencers who made content accusing me on their own assumptions: watch out! Enough trying to make a name for yourself so that others will like you. Remember your own sins because I won’t forgive you!”
He also posted screenshots of netizens posting negative comments towards him with the caption, “Humans can’t keep their mouths shut.” Some negative comments included, “I pity the girl who is afraid to look in front. She must be used to being recorded all the time. This Abang Bas is terrible.”
What do you think of this issue? Do you think his behaviour is appropriate even if the girl is his niece? We hope the truth will come out, no matter what!
