SPM achievers in Gua Musang, Kelantan, were feted with free burgers courtesy of Mohammad Fadli Mohammad Fendi, who owns a stall in the remote district.
Utusan Malaysia reported that Mohamad Fadli, 37, wanted to reward the recent batch of SPM students and motivate future teens to do well by offering 200 burger meals worth RM6 to RM15.
The meals were offered to 200 students from the 12 schools within the district who scored 3As and above in their exams.
The initiative started with 50 burgers for the 2022 SPM batch before it expanded to 100 in 2023 and 200 in 2024.
Mohammad Fadli said the gesture was also a way of sharing his God-given fortune with others, particularly the young who made up most of his customers.
To date, 37 sets of burgers have been claimed by eligible students here.
One of them, Muhamad Aqid Syaqir Md Azau Fazlin, 18, who scored 9As in the SPM examinations, expressed gratitude for Mohammad Fadli's reward.
> Although she has broken her silence on her love life, Berita Harian reported that singer Dayang Nurfaizah, 44, is still keeping mum on the identity of the handsome man she is dating.
The singer, whose real name is Dayang Nurfaizah Awang Dowty, admitted that speculations of her relationship surfaced recently following her song Jodoh Di Hari Raya, which was released during Ramadan.
'I do not deny knowing someone, nor do I confirm or deny a possible marriage.
'It's a common cliche to hear about a suitor,' she said at a recent press conference.
She said that she had left the matter to fate because she was currently enjoying her life.
Previous rumours had linked Dayang Nurfaizah with another local singer who is already engaged, but this has been denied by the latter, who stated they were merely friends.
On her career, Dayang Nurfaizah said she intends to return to her Sarawakian roots to record the song Bekikis Bulu Betis in Iban.

#SHOWBIZ: Ruhainies claims income of up to RM100k per month

KUALA LUMPUR: Actress Ruhainies, 33, has captured attention after claiming her monthly income as an artiste can reach up to RM100,000. The claim was made during a recent interview, where she openly discussed her earnings, drawing various reactions from netizens. In a Berita Harian report today, Ruhainies, whose full name is Nur Ruhainies Farehah Zainul Ilyas, said that throughout her nearly decade-long career in the entertainment industry, she has successfully built multiple income streams. These include acting, brand ambassadorships, affiliate marketing, and various brand collaborations. "My income is around RM50,000 to RM100,000 a month," she said. "On Instagram, I have 1.7 million followers, while on TikTok I have over 700,000 followers." When commenting on her lifestyle, the star of the TV series Sayang Tak Dikenang emphasised that she prioritises quality over price. "With such a high income, I spend a lot on personal care, living expenses, and operating costs, which are quite high," she said. "When selecting products, I focus more on quality. If a product is suitable, of course, I will buy it." A subsequent review found that the original interview video had been taken down. However, it was subsequently re-uploaded on social media by another user.

From ‘Pi Mai Pi Mai Tang Tu' to more serious roles

ACTOR Sabri Yunus, who is best known for the sitcom Pi Mai Pi Mai Tang Tu decades ago, has decided to step away from comedy roles, Berita Harian reported. Sabri, 64, said he made the decision after considering the changing trends of fans, but stressed that this does not mean that he wants to get rid of his 'comedy DNA'. He said the change was necessary as he needs to move on to more serious roles. 'For me, comedy roles are not something you can continue forever. 'Comedy is seasonal and, at a certain point, it may no longer be appropriate for people to watch. 'If you play a serious role, it might be 'evergreen'. Comedy is for the young; when you're older, it feels awkward. 'Times have changed. I believe comedy should evolve. 'Those who play comedic roles should transition to other roles,' Sabri said at a press conference and premiere of his new film Denu. > A pair of pythons left behind 67 hatchlings after the reptiles were discovered by a cattle farmer in a village in Kuala Krai, Kelantan, Sinar Harian reported.
