KUALA LUMPUR – Renowned actor Datuk Aaron Aziz has voiced strong criticism against individuals he perceives as exploiting viral incidents for personal attention and praise. In a recent statement, Aziz highlighted the issue of selective activism, particularly in relation to widely discussed topics such as the ongoing situation in Gaza. "We cannot force people to speak up just because they are asked," Aziz stated, emphasizing that a person's silence does not necessarily indicate a lack of support. He questioned the sincerity of those who only engage with issues once they have gained mainstream traction, describing such behavior as "hypocritical." Aziz further elaborated on his concerns, pointing out instances where individuals appear to leverage tragedies to sell merchandise, make public statements, or conduct live broadcasts, seemingly to boost their own profiles or gain followers. "What's the point if we speak up but take no action?" he queried, stressing the importance of genuine commitment over performative displays. He urged the public to avoid judging others based on their vocal participation in charitable acts or social causes. "Don't be a hypocrite," Aziz concluded, advocating for universal advocacy rather than focusing solely on issues that promise increased visibility or public acclaim. His comments have sparked considerable discussion online regarding the ethics of engagement in social and humanitarian causes.
