After a string of controversial posts, Malaysia's most infamous blogger Alvin Tan's official Facebook page has been taken down. The sex blogger confirmed the news via his personal account:

His several previous Facebook posts have also offended Muslim sensibilities, including a video of him singing a cover of the Azan
In the video, Tan, bare-chested and wearing sunglasses, plays the piano while singing a lyrically garbled version of the Azan – the Muslim call to prayer. Underneath the video, he has written: "Please don't badger me about the wrong lyrics … First, this is a cover, so creative modification is permitted. Second, I ain't a suicide bomber."
