KUALA LUMPUR – Veteran musician Datuk David Arumugam has strongly denied any association with the couple at the centre of the controversy involving a recent comedy skit that allegedly insulted Islam.
The frontman and founding member of the veteran group Alleycats said he was completely unaware of the couple’s supposed plan to invite the band to perform at a sex-related event at Petaling Jaya music venue Merdekarya.
Contacted by The Vibes, Arumugam said he had also filed a police report at a station in Petaling Jaya yesterday after learning that his band had been associated with 38-year-old Alexander Navin Vijayachandran and his 26-year-old partner Siti Nuramira Abdullah.
This came after Alexander and Siti Nuramira reportedly mentioned the Alleycats as performers at an event they were planning to organise in Merdekarya, which was said to be a “sex workshop” of sorts, last month.
“I am unaware of this plan (for the event). I don’t know this person (Alexander) as I have never spoken to him. I have filed a report on the matter,” the Sampaikan Salam Cintaku singer said when contacted.
“I am very surprised and disappointed that my group (Alleycats) has been named (in this ordeal).”
Asked how he came to know about the Alleycats being widely mentioned on social media over the scandalous affair, Arumugam said his friends had sent him various media clips on the matter, which led him to file the report.
