KUALA LUMPUR: Comedian Mamat Sepah has issued a public apology for the ongoing rift between his two close friends, Jep Sepahtu and Shuib Sepahtu, during a recent TikTok live broadcast.

Mamat, whose real name is Mohd Noor Haji Murad, 41, urged people to stop sending him negative direct messages (DMs).

"With a humble and sincere heart, I apologise to everyone. Therefore, to those who are still sending DMs with unpleasant words to read and hear, I earnestly ask that we put an end to it together," he said.

"Let us all be decent human beings. Like myself, I have realised my mistakes, so let us work together to improve ourselves."
