Amy Search files counter report denying Shila Amzah's assault claim at KL rehearsal
Berita Harian reported that Shah Alam police chief ACP Iqbal Ibrahim confirmed receiving the report last night, describing it as a 'counter report' rejecting Shila's allegations.
'Yes, a report was lodged, but it was more of a counter report and a denial. The case has been referred to the Dang Wangi district police headquarters,' he was quoted as saying by Berita Harian.
Earlier, Harian Metro reported that Amy, whose real name is Suhaimi Abdul Rahman, had given his statement at the Shah Alam police headquarters.
The move follows Shila's accusation that Amy had scolded her during the rehearsal last Thursday.
Kuala Lumpur deputy police chief Datuk Usuf Jan Mohamad previously confirmed that an investigation paper had been opened into Shila's complaint of criminal intimidation.
Shila, full name Nurshahila Amir Amzah, alleged on Instagram that she was 'openly attacked' in front of crew members during the session.
Several veteran and popular artistes are set to perform at the upcoming concert.

Task force report says fatal UPSI bus crash mainly caused by speeding, but highlights ‘systemic breakdown' in safety oversight
KUALA LUMPUR, July 18 — The Ministry of Transport has today named 'failure to control speed while navigating a downhill bend' as the primary cause for the fatal express bus accident that killed 15 Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) last month. The Preliminary Report of the Special Task Force on the incident, however, noted there were several other contributing factors that reveal 'a systemic breakdown' that demands comprehensive reform by all parties involved in the public transport ecosystem. 'This incident was not solely the result of technical failure or driver error, but was also driven by operational shortcomings, inappropriate driver selection, insufficient safety protections, and ineffective monitoring and enforcement systems. 'The discovery of high traffic offence records among the drivers and the operator's failure to conduct routine checks as required under ICOP–Safety reinforce evidence of organisational governance failure,' the report said, referring to the Industrial Code of Practice. The report said the failure to control speed resulted in the bus losing control and overturning towards the left side of the road. Other contributing causes and factors listed included the road's physical design, absence of speed control and monitoring devices, unauthorised operating practices, absence of seat belts for passengers, and lack of proactive monitoring and poor inter-agency coordination.

Going the extra mile with artist riders: A way for event organisers to showcase the ‘tuan rumah' hospitality
KUALA LUMPUR, July 18 — Manager of the famous Indonesian band Cokelat and event organiser Udzir Harris thinks going the extra mile with artist riders can go a long way for event organisers (EOs). This comes in regard to the Indonesian music scene, which is currently abuzz following famous Indonesian musician Ari Lasso's recent public call for bands to provide simpler riders to EOs. Riders or artist riders, are a list of requirements provided to EOs by artists during any concerts or live performances. There are typically two types of riders. The first and most important, the technical rider, where the artists will specify the technical equipment or setup that they require. The second is the hospitality rider, which covers the artists' food and snacks, right down to their dietary restrictions and other personal needs. Ari, the former vocalist of Dewa 19, said in his initial Instagram post that performers shouldn't take advantage of their artist riders and should treat EOs as their partners, as both need each other. The post went viral, being shared over 2,000 times on Instagram, which prompted Ari to follow up with another post on July 8 after some of his EO friends admitted they too experienced a similar situation. In his latest post, Ari admitted that during his Dewa 19 days, he and Dewa 19's founding member and composer Ahmad Dhani would have a lengthy list of riders; however, they have since done their best to simplify their riders over the years. Ari said the reason behind this long list was mainly because there were a lot of unprofessional EOs at that time, adding that nowadays their technical rider list and hospitality rider list would each be just four pages long. However, Udzir, who is currently set to debut the first Ruang Inspirasi Fest Kuala Lumpur 2025 (RIFKL2025) this August 17, said that although he agrees with Ari, he believes that as EOs — especially those hosting international artists at their events — they should at least consider going the extra mile in fulfilling their artist riders. Udzir, who has also worked on Kunto Aji's Sama-Sama Tour 2025, said that in his experience as an EO, he has never encountered artists with outlandish riders — pointing out that even Juicy Luicy, the alternative pop outfit who is also one of the headliners for RIFKL2025, along with chart-topping singer-songwriter Tulus, had very simple riders. 'Both of them had humble requests and at the end, we called them and decided to add some things for them as their request was just food takeaways. 'Thank you Juicy Luicy but as promoter and tuan rumah (host), we took the initiative to add more things so that they can have a better backstage experience. 'We even had a meeting about this where we thought of some of the best Malaysian food to serve them, which includes satay Kajang, nasi ayam Chee Meng in Bukit Bintang as well as nasi kandar Hameediyah,' Udzir said during the RIF Kuala Lumpur 2025 virtual press conference. Meanwhile, Juicy Luicy, who was also present at the virtual press conference, told local media that they too agreed with what Ari suggested and said that for them, when an EO fulfils their riders, it shows that the EO is attentive to details, allowing the band to perform without any worries. Both Juicy Luicy and Tulus are set to take centre stage at Mega Star Arena this August during RIFKL2025, where Tulus will headline the afternoon showcase starting at 1.30pm, while Juicy Luicy will be take the evening session, which starts at 7.30pm.
