Celebrity couple Neelofa and independent preacher PU Riz have finally addressed the criticism surrounding the fees for their religious classes, which some have deemed too expensive.
Previously, some questioned the price of around RM850, arguing it was unreasonable for a knowledge-based event.
However, Neelofa, whose full name is Noor Neelofa Mohd Noor, 36, defended the cost, saying the value provided is worth it.
According to her, the program was held at a five-star hotel with high-quality catering, offering participants a premium experience.
“Guests don’t just come, listen, and leave. We provide a completely different experience. So far, no one has complained,” she told mStar.
During a press conference for Mualim Muda in Petaling Jaya, PU Riz, or Muhammad Haris Mohd Ismail, 30, supported his wife’s explanation.
He explained that while religious knowledge can be accessed in many places, their concept and approach are designed to offer something unique.
“We want to elevate the lecture industry to a higher level. We also invite special guests to share exclusive experiences,” he said.
PU Riz hopes the program can reach even more participants.
Despite the criticism, the couple remains confident in their concept and believes there is an audience willing to pay for such an experience. -Boom!
