National gymnast Farah Ann Abdul Hadi delivered a withering rebuke after Internet trolls criticised her for wearing revealing clothing at the SEA Games.
Some Facebook users slammed the 21-year-old for her attire, saying they could see the shape or her "aurat" (parts of body to be covered according to Islam) in her leotard.
But the double gold medallist fired back on Twitter: "Empty cans make the most noise."
Many Malaysians rallied round Farah, who starred with six medals in total including golds in the women's team event and women's floor exercise.
Among them was Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin, who tweeted: "In gymnastics Farah wowed the judges and brought home gold.
"In her deeds only the Almighty judges her. Not you. Leave our athletes alone." – AFP
