-

COSMETICS entreprene­ur Nur Sajat Kamaruzzam­an (pic) is unfazed by criticisms of the “sexy” half shoulder dress she wore during the 32nd Anugerah Juara Lagu, Harian Metro reported.

She uploaded several video clips on Instagram, as well as photos of the green sequinned gown, designed by Gie Ismail, from the music awards show held last Sunday.

Her posts attracted heavy criticism from many netizens.

“It is all right – I am used to being teased and criticised,” Nur Sajat said.

“They can say whatever they want because they have their rights.

“If I entertain them, their comments will only get worse. So, I have decided ... to let them speak.”

The 33yearold was previously dragged into another controvers­y when the Department of Islamic Developmen­t Malaysia (Jakim) met with her following rumours that she might be a transgende­r.

Nur Sajat claimed she never felt pressured by online criticism.

“I believe that when I wore the dress and received such attention, it meant (I am) known to the public.

“The criticism will not weaken me. Instead, it will give me strength to come forward with more unique designs,” she added.
