Alvin Tan Jye Yee.- File picture
KUALA LUMPUR: The bak kut teh Facebook posting by sex bloggers Alvivi was meant as a joke though in poor taste, the Sessions Court was told.
The Star Online editor Philip Golingai testified Tuesday that Alvin Tan Jye Yee told him it was meant to be a joke although there was no obvious reason why he posted such a controversial picture.
“No reason. Just a joke, I guess,” Golingai told the court when asked to describe Tan’s reaction to his question on why he posted the photo.
Golingai was testifying based on a phone interview he had done with Tan back in 2013 that the latter wanted to see how people would perceive the bad joke.
“It seems not everybody is in the same page as us,” testified Golingai as he was telling the court what exactly Tan had said to him during the interview.
