The Malaysian Malay-language daily Berita Harian – which is unrelated to the newspaper of the same name published by SPH Media Trust in Singapore – reported that the MHO has submitted a memo to the Malaysian authorities to blacklist Wang and prevent him from entering the country.

MHO secretary Hishamuddin Hashim highlighted an April 25 live stream in which Wang wore a pink bra and cream skirt to help sell clothes by Johor clothing brand Peni Concept.

Datuk Hishamuddin called these actions “indecent” and said they “encouraged porn culture ”.
