#SHOWBIZ: Yassin back in Malaysia, wants to spend time with family
His wife, Farah Waheeda Maharidan, confirmed his return to Harian Metro, stating simply: "Yes… Yassin has returned to Malaysia."
Farah did not disclose the exact date of Yassin's return but affirmed that her husband, a member of the popular group Senario, was now reunited with his family after an absence of seven months from the entertainment industry.
While not yet prepared to share the full story of Yassin's experience in Jeddah, Farah requested privacy for her husband to recover.
"Please give Yassin space to rest and spend time with his family," she urged.
"Actually, I wanted to keep this quiet, but I understand many are waiting for his return."
According to Farah, Yassin is in good health and has gained weight.
"Thank God he is healthy. His weight is also increasing," she said.
"My whole family and I are happy to be reunited with Yassin."
Previously, Yassin's absence from a Senario group event sparked concern among fans.
The situation escalated when media outlets reported the arrest of a Malaysian comedian at King Abdulaziz International Airport, Jeddah, last October, for possession of marijuana.
Yassin's name was subsequently linked to the incident, although his Senario colleagues declined to comment at the time.
It was understood that the comedian had been sentenced to six months in prison in Saudi Arabia and was expected to return to Malaysia around April.
However, comedian and fellow Scenario member Saiful Apek had stated that Yassin was undergoing rehabilitation rather than being imprisoned.

DRB-Hicom, Harian Metro launch proverb-themed pantun competition for Selangor students
KUALA LUMPUR: Harian Metro, in collaboration with its strategic partner DRB-Hicom Bhd, is organising a proverb-themed pantun competition open to secondary school students across Selangor. 'Pertandingan Pantun Bertemakan Peribahasa DRB-HICOM bersama Harian Metro 2025' reflects DRB-Hicom's commitment as a leading player in Malaysia's automotive industry and Harian Metro's role as a mainstream media outlet in strengthening their brand presence among the younger generation. The initiative also serves as a vital platform to promote the literary art of pantun while discovering and nurturing students' talent and creativity — ensuring this cultural heritage remains alive for generations to come. The competition is also supported by Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) and the Selangor Education Department. Harian Metro group editor Husain Jahit said the newspaper is excited to host its first pantun competition in partnership with DRB-Hicom. "This competition provides an important platform to reinforce the role of Malay literature as a national heritage. "It not only encourages appreciation of pantun and proverbs but also nurtures a more creative, competitive, and culturally proud generation of students. "To ensure the accuracy and fluency of Malay language and literature throughout the competition, we've partnered with DBP, which will provide the official panel of judges. "We hope this event will attract young people to appreciate and preserve the beauty of pantun so it won't be forgotten," he said during the launch at Balai Berita Bangsar today. Also present were Media Prima News and Current Affairs Division group managing editor Jasbant Singh, New Straits Times group editor and Media Prima Bhd deputy group managing editor Farrah Naz Karim, Berita Harian group editor Zulkifli Jalil and Media Prima Television Networks News and Current Affairs group editor Azhari Muhidin. DRB-Hicom was represented by its chief communication officer Cairil Irwan Amir, and group general manager of Strategic Communications, Nur Balkish Hood. Meanwhile, Cairil Irwan said the pantun competition would serve as a platform to uncover young talent at the secondary school level. "It will also help strengthen unity and instil a sense of love for our culture and heritage as Malaysians. "This Selangor-level proverb-themed pantun competition shows that education is not solely about academic achievement. DRB-Hicom recognises the need to build a creative and visionary next generation," he said. He added that the competition is made more special as it is held in conjunction with the 68th National Day and Malaysia Day 2025 celebrations. "In this context, it helps nurture values of unity and harmony, with participation open to secondary school students of various races and backgrounds. This reflects the true spirit of Malaysia — diverse yet united," he said. The competition is open to students from Form One to Form Six at government secondary schools across Selangor. The quarter-finals and semi-finals will take place on Sept 23, while the grand final is scheduled for Sept 29, at Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka. Each team must consist of three performers and one reserve, and the registration period runs from Aug 12 to Aug 31. To qualify, each team must respond to three pantun stanzas published by Harian Metro. They must upload their reply along with a link to an interactive pantun video via a provided Google Form. The initial screening will be conducted by the Selangor Education Department, which will select the top eight teams to advance to the quarter-finals, where pantun performances will be held live before a panel of judges. From there, four teams will advance to the semi-finals, and the top two teams will compete in the finals, where they will present a theatrical pantun performance, combining poetry with acting elements. Judging for the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals will be handled entirely by a DBP-appointed panel and a representative from the Selangor Education Department.

GOF nabs 36 undocumented Myanmar migrants in Rantau Panjang
RANTAU PANJANG: The General Operations Force (GOF) nabbed 36 undocumented migrants from Myanmar after stopping a tour bus in an operation in Serongga here today. Southeast Brigade commander Datuk Nik Ros Azhan Nik Abd Hamid said the Myanmar nationals were arrested about 6.30am following public tip-offs received around midnight. He said a GOF team from the Eighth Battalion, comprising one officer and seven personnel, stopped the bus and found 37 people onboard, including the 37-year-old Malaysian driver. The Myanmar nationals comprise 34 men and two women, aged 20s to 40s. Ros Azhan said the Myanmar nationals told GOF personnel that they were on their way to work at a rice factory in Kampung Tok Deh near the border. "Checks revealed that no such factory exists." He said only four of the Myanmar nationals had passports, but they were all empty and had no immigration stamps. "This indicates that the four did not enter Malaysia legally. After interrogation, they admitted to slipping into the country illegally several years ago." He said another Myanmar national had an expired passport, while the remaining 31 had no travel documents at all. Ros Azhan said the driver, who acted as a 'tekong' (agent), admitted to receiving RM2,300 to transport the Myanmar nationals from Meru, Klang, to Kelantan. "The driver claimed the group was picked up from a factory in Meru to be sent to Kelantan, supposedly to work in rice packing, involving 5kg and 10kg bags of Thai rice. "All of them were detained and handed over to Pasir Mas police for further action."

The business of 'real' influence: Fashion's celebrity ambassadors and muses
In an industry where image is everything, celebrities hold a strong sway. Their influence can turn a fledgling label into an overnight sensation or cement a legacy brand's relevance for a new generation. Designers turn to famous faces as their muses as well, often drawing on their persona, style and achievements to shape entire collections. When Jonathan Anderson released a 15-second Instagram video featuring Kylian Mbappe in June, shortly after taking the reins at Dior, it set tongues wagging. Speculation swirled over how the football star might influence his creative direction and shape the fashion house's new aesthetic. In the past, names like Kate Moss and Harry Styles have also helped set the style agenda. Moss brought a rebellious grunge-glamour to brands like Calvin Klein and Burberry, reshaping the supermodel ideal of the 1990s. In the 2010s, singer-songwriter and actor Styles challenged traditional menswear codes as the face of Gucci's then vintage- inspired vision. Fashion ambassadorship is not purely a commercial affair – at least for Malaysian songstress Yuna Zarai. Nayeon of K-pop group Twice is said to represent elegance, authenticity and creative individuality. Photo: Bonia 'When I work with a brand, I like to get my ideas in, not just my styling notes, but also the human aspect of it,' she says, having recently shot a campaign for Ecco. It is certainly not about the money. Yuna is comfortable turning down offers that are not aligned with her vision or beliefs. 'I've said 'no' to corporations asking to mould my identity and my image,' Yuna shares. 'When I'm collaborating with a brand, I don't see it as 'Yuna wearing the clothes or shoes', I see it as an extension of me.' For her, the right partnership feels almost like cooking. 'Brands and designers create something uniquely beautiful using the right ingredients and a meaningful message – but if it's communicated to someone who doesn't speak the 'language', you won't get the right reaction back,' she explains. Read more: Are Malaysian men stylish? They're catching on, with growing fashion confidence Instead, she believes the right way is to approach artistes or public figures who have substance – those with a genuine appreciation for art, history, music and film, and real opinions that make them who they are. 'When they try the product, you get to see how it fits with their uniqueness, how it makes them feel, and whether they believe in it. That's when you get better collaboration and a deeper understanding of your brand.' If that connection clicks, she adds, it resonates beyond the celebrity. It can then extend to all their 'real followers' (here, Yuna emphasises how social media clout should never ever be bought). Relatability, after all, is what makes a partnership feel authentic – a sentiment shared by national cyclist Nur Aisyah Mohamad Zubir. Athletes like Nur Aisyah Mohamad Zubir are redefining brand partnerships by bringing passion and drive to the spotlight. Photo: Oakley 'What I love is how Oakley blends lifestyle and sport. Fashion is part of lifestyle, so it just clicks with me. I think that's why the brand resonates with so many people too,' she says about her current role as one of the eyewear maker's local ambassadors. Nur Aisyah, who represented Malaysia at the 2024 Paris Olympics, points out that the personalities themselves can benefit from such tie-ups too. For her, it means being part of a global family of great athletes – including Mbappe, who is also the face for Oakley – a connection that motivates her to keep improving and perform at her best. Despite the prestige that comes with such a role, she remains grounded. 'When I put on a pair of Oakleys, I feel like I can just be myself. Plus, they look great too ( nampak gah ),' she says, when met at an event in Kuala Lumpur. Profoundly meaningful One question remains though. Is appointing a celebrity ambassador really the golden ticket to success? Not quite. Brands are increasingly aware that it is not a shortcut to instant popularity. You cannot just attach a famous face to a collection or campaign and expect fans to come running. The relationship should not be viewed as purely transactional. Managing director of Ecco for Malaysia and Singapore, Benjamin Chin, even goes so far as to call celebrities as 'cultural collaborators'. He cites the example of how his footwear brand has been featuring Yuna (which he says is a muse, not just an ambassador) for several campaigns, from International Women's Day to Hari Raya and now, National Day. To him, the long-term partnership was not built for one-off sales spikes. 'This kind of continuity builds emotional capital. It shapes not just perception, but memory. In a fast world, that's what lasts,' he insists. Chin says a brand should establish a strong identity first, then seek talents who naturally align with it. 'It starts by asking not 'who's trending', but 'who naturally shares our values and who moves like us',' he advises. Yuna Zarai says celebrities should not allow brands to mould their identity. Photo: Ecco Others in the industry uphold this view, regarding partnerships as a way to enrich rather than define a brand's story. 'We see celebrity influence not as a replacement for our creative voice, but as a dynamic amplifier of it,' says Bonia's chief creative and marketing officer, Linda Chen. The leather goods brand previously featured Yuna in a Hari Raya campaign. It also flew in Nayeon, a member of K-pop group Twice, last year for its grand event. Chen stresses that, when thoughtfully chosen, famous stars can bring fresh perspectives, attract new audiences, and deepen a brand's relatability. 'Regarding Nayeon, we weren't just looking for visibility. We saw in her a shared sense of elegance, authenticity and creative individuality that mirrors the Bonia woman,' she explains. Read more: Fashion's new power move? Turning away from influencers and the overhyped It should not be a one-sided transaction, too. 'Our collaboration with Nayeon (including a Kuala Lumpur meet-and-greet with fans in September) was carefully timed with our 50th anniversary and culminated in a symbolic double celebration: Nayeon's birthday and Bonia's milestone year,' Chen shares. The aim is to build an emotional connection that transcends the campaigns. 'It's about creating stories that feel personal, memorable and enduring,' Chen says. Malaysian designers, like their global counterparts, look to celebrities as their muses. Oftentimes, the relationship can be deeply personal. Like how Alia Bastamam calls Scha Alyahya her muse and friend. The actress had the honour of closing the runway for Alia's Dubai Fashion Week debut last year. 'She has been successful in what she does. She is effortless in her style, an icon in entertainment and beyond, she is a mother to two beautiful daughters and continues to do what she does best, which is just about everything!' Alia gushes. 'In what she does, she is honestly the past, present and future of the Alia Bastamam brand. And I can only wish, hope and manifest to be a woman like my friend Scha.' It goes to show that, in the end, the most powerful brand-ambassador partnerships are not about star power alone. They are about a shared vision that turns fashion into something timeless and deeply human.
