Ex-Playboy bunny sees red over 'Amanah poster'
Former Playboy bunny Felixia Yeap is upset that her photo was used without her consent in a poster bearing flegdling party Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah)'s logo.
The poster depicts the model as rejecting racism. She converted to Islam last year and adopted the name Raisyyah Rania.
"Dear whatever party it is, please do not use my picture or my name for any political usage.
"I am not interested in being involved in anything political. please remove this at once. your desperation makes you look pathetic," she said on her Instagram account.
She also urged social media users to 'tag' the person who uploaded the poster online to tell him "he is getting 'famous' for being desperate."
The poster was allegedly uploaded by an Amanah Youth member.

Amanah Youth just as surprised
Amanah Youth vice chief Shazni Munir Mohd Ithnin expressed his regret over the posting, but denied that the party had anything to do with the poster.
"First of all, we did not know about the poster. We deem it to be a form of sabotage to smear Amanah's name.
"Amanah Youth's focus on all levels currently is on a charity concert for musician Yazid Search. This poster of unknown origins suddenly pop up," he told Malaysiakini.
He added that the youth wing only knew about the poster when Raisyyah Rania contacted them this morning.
"It's not just Raisyyah Rania who was surprise. We were even more surprised!" he said.
Shazni hopes those behind the poster to focus on matters that will benefit the rakyat instead of trying to create hate towards politicians.
