Faizal fans slam deejay

FANS of Akademi Fantasia 4 winner Mohammad Faizal Ramly are angry at Era deejay Linda Onn for asking if he knew “what a condominium means,” said Kosmo! 

Faizal won the competition last Saturday and was interviewed by Linda over the radio station two days later. 

Linda had asked if Faizal knew what he had won, and added: “Do you know what a condominium means?” 

Faizal: His fan club said thedeejay was unprofessiona

Kosmo! reported that many fans of Faizal contacted the publication to complain about Linda’s question, saying that it was an insult to Faizal. 

Aswani Saat, 27, said: “How could she ask Faizal if he knew what a condominium is? 

“To me, the question was meant to put down Faizal’s mentality.”  

One of the prizes that Faizal won was an A Famosa Resort condominium in Malacca. 

Faizal’s Fan Club spokesman Amran Othman also expressed disappointment over Linda’s question, adding that she was not professional.
