Gerik bus crash: Cousin of actor Zoey Rahman among victims who died
PETALING JAYA: A cousin of actor and entrepreneur Zoey Rahman was among those killed in the tragic bus crash involving Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) students on the East-West Highway near Tasik Banding, Gerik, Perak, on Monday (June 9). Zoey, or Mohd Hairey Azhar Abdul Rahman, told he was shocked to receive the news that his cousin had passed away through a family WhatsApp group early in the morning. He mentioned that Fakhrul was returning to UPSI in Tanjung Malim, Perak, from his hometown in Pasir Akar, Jerteh, Terengganu, after celebrating Hari Raya Aidiladha with family. "At first, we didn't know if he was safe, just that 15 people had died. But a few minutes later, we got confirmation that he passed away at the scene," he told mStar. Sharing about his relationship with the deceased, Zoey said they last met during Hari Raya Aidilfitri and said he was close to him and that he had a good character. "I didn't go back to my home town for Aidiladha, and the last time we met was during Aidilfitri. I can describe him as a kind, quiet, and intelligent person," he added. Zoey mentioned that Fakhrul's family had arrived at the hospital to claim the body but had not yet decided on the burial location. "I hope the family remains strong in facing this trial. The body is still at the hospital for a post-mortem. I also hope the family of the deceased and other victims find the strength to endure this test. "Accidents are unavoidable, but I hope actions are taken after this incident. Every festive season, there are always incidents involving heavy vehicles," he shared. On Monday morning, 15 people were confirmed dead in the tragic accident involving a bus carrying UPSI students and a car. The incident was reported to have occurred around 1am.

#SHOWBIZ: Fattah Amin: I'm not marrying Amira on May 25
KUALA LUMPUR: Actor Fattah Amin has once again refuted rumours claiming he will marry actress Amira Othman on May 25. In a Berita Harian report yesterday, Fattah clarified that neither he nor Amira has set a wedding date, contrary to what fans have suggested. "Perhaps May 25 is considered an auspicious date for weddings," he speculated. "However, as far as we are concerned, nothing is happening on that day." He further explained that his recent meeting with Amira's family in Singapore was purely coincidental. Fattah also addressed their joint appearance at a recent motivational talk, stating that both he and Amira were invited as guest speakers by the organiser. "Yes, my family was invited to the talk, and her family decided to join at the last minute. Fortunately, the organiser was able to accommodate both families, as hers resides in Johor Baru, which is nearby." Regarding interactions with Amira's family, Fattah described them as "very sporting," explaining that her younger brother, Irfan Harris, was simply joking when he "teased" them about being a "superb couple." Finally, Fattah addressed the speculation about their matching outfits. "That was merely a coincidence. We both have contracts with several fashion brands, which is why we sometimes wear similar attire." This latest denial follows Fattah's recent dismissal of rumours suggesting a wedding shortly after Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

#SHOWBIZ: Andi Arsyil: Puteri Sarah and I are strictly professional
KUALA LUMPUR: Indonesian actor Andi Arsyil, 37, continues to refute claims of a romantic involvement with popular actress Puteri Sarah Liyana, maintaining their association is purely professional. Andi emphasised his aversion to sensationalism, explaining that his appearances with Puteri Sarah on social media live broadcasts are strictly work-related, stemming from their business partnership. "In my nearly 18 years in the entertainment industry, I've always avoided cheap gimmicks. "My focus is on quality work, which speaks for itself. People can discern genuine efforts from artificial ones. "I adhere to that principle," Andi told BH Online. "As the saying goes, 'What you sow is what you reap.' Currently, my relationship with Puteri Sarah is that of business partners. "We maintain a professional working dynamic. Personally, I hold Puteri Sarah in high regard. "Despite some public perceptions, I find her to be a very good person." Andi acknowledged that their two-year working relationship has fostered a comfortable rapport. Their collaborations extend beyond skincare products to include a hijab business. He reiterated that their social media presence serves primarily to promote these ventures. "I recognise the inherent risks in this industry. Before working with Puteri Sarah, I was often linked to other women, as was she with other men. "Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but ultimately, our paths are divinely ordained. "I remain hopeful for the best outcome. If something isn't ideal, I'll strive to improve it," he said. Andi added, "The reason for our frequent live broadcasts is our shared objective: to educate consumers." "Many purchase skincare products without fully understanding their benefits or quality. "Our aim, our shared vision, is to provide valuable information, and thankfully, we can do so without resorting to gimmicks," Andi explained. "During these sessions, I often steer the conversation away from irrelevant personal questions, focusing instead on sharing useful insights." Recounting their initial encounter, Andi revealed that Puteri Sarah contacted him after using his products. "I've been involved in business in Indonesia since 2011, but my partnership with Puteri Sarah began in 2023. She reached out after experiencing positive results with my products, expressing interest in introducing them to the Malaysian market." "Puteri Sarah's satisfaction with the products led to our collaboration. We met and built the business from the ground up. Our active communication began in November 2023, following her initial contact in June 2023," he said.
