Ameera Khan Expresses Desire To Move To Leave Malaysia: 'I Want To Be Myself & Be Accepted'
Lately, the public figure has faced a wave of backlash over her public displays of affection with the Indonesian actor. She's usually not one to react or respond to negative comments, but it seems the remarks have become increasingly overwhelming. Here's what she had to say:
Earlier this week, Ameera Khan responded to a fan's question on Instagram about which country she would consider settling in, if given the chance. The influencer replied, 'I don't really have an answer to this, but I've always wanted to leave Malaysia.' The 24-year-old clarified that while she loves her home country, she feels she would live a better life elsewhere, rather than feeling stuck among toxic people with toxic mindsets.
'I know that one day, when I'm ready, I'll move to a place where I can be myself, where that's accepted. Definitely not here. Bye!' she added. Although she didn't mention a specific incident that prompted her comments, it wouldn't be surprising if the constant online criticism played a part. After all, she frequently receives remarks whenever she posts on social media, particularly about her relationship with Jefri Nichol.
At the same time, Ameera Khan addressed and denied rumours that she was sleeping with her boyfriend. Responding to a netizen's allegation on Instagram, the model wrote: 'We 'sleep call' almost every night. When we're not asleep, we're always in touch. Please — some of you should know better and refrain from asking such inappropriate or unwise questions.'
With the volume of comments she continues to receive, it's little surprise that Ameera is considering a move abroad. Wherever she chooses to go, one can only hope she finds the peace and happiness she's searching for.

Gen Z women embrace an ancient code written for them
The photo taken on July 23, 2025 shows people learning Nushu calligraphy in a hotel conference room repurposed as a temporary classroom in Jiangyong county, southern China's Hunan province. Nushu, "female script", was created around 400 years ago when women were still barred from attending school. They secretly learned Chinese characters and adapted them into Nushu, using the script to communicate with each other through letters, songs, and embroidery. (Photo by Jade GAO / AFP) / To go with AFP story China-culture-history, FOCUS by Isabel Kua with Emily Wang in Shanghai At a studio in central Hunan province, a teacher grips an ink brush, gently writing characters of a secret script created by women centuries ago and now being embraced by a new generation. Nushu, meaning 'women's script', emerged around 400 years ago. Barred from attending school, the women secretly learned Chinese characters and adapted them into Nushu, using the script to communicate with each other through letters, song and embroidery. Passed down through generations of women in the remote and idyllic county of Jiangyong, it is now gaining popularity nationwide among Chinese women who view it as a symbol of strength. Student Pan Shengwen said Nushu offers a safe way for women to communicate with each other. 'It essentially creates a sanctuary for us,' the 21-year-old said. 'We can express our thoughts, confide in our sisters and talk about anything.' Compared to Chinese characters, Nushu words are less boxy, more slender and shaped like willow leaves. On Instagram-like Xiaohongshu, the hashtag 'Nushu' has been viewed over 73.5 million times – mostly featuring young women sharing tattoos and other modern work incorporating the old script. Student He Jingying said she had been enrolled in a Nushu class by her mother and that writing it brought her 'a deep sense of calm'. 'It feels like when the brush touches the paper, a kind of strength flows into you.' Nushu is more than just a writing system – it represents the lived experiences of rural women from the county, Zhao Liming, a professor at Beijing's Tsinghua University, said. 'It was a society dominated by men,' said Zhao, who has been studying Nushu for four decades. 'Their works cried out against this injustice.' An hour's drive away, around a hundred Nushu learners packed into a hotel room to attend a week-long workshop organised by local authorities trying to promote the script. Animation student Tao Yuxi, 23, one of the handful of men attending the workshop, said he was learning Nushu to gain inspiration for his creative work. As it represents part of China's cultural heritage, Nushu has to be passed down, he said. 'It's something that everyone should work to preserve – regardless of whether they are women or men.' — AFP

Linda Chung on natural childbirth experience: 'I struggled to walk afterwards'
Hong Kong-based actress Linda Chung shares three children with Jeremy Leung, whom she married in 2015. Photo: Linda Chung/Instagram Canadian actress Linda Chung has been happily married to chiropractor Jeremy Leung since 2015, and the couple share three children – Kelly, eight, Jared, six, and Anika, two. In a recent interview on Hong Kong actress Carol Cheng's online programme, Chung said marriage and family had always been part of her dream since she was younger. 'But after entering the entertainment industry, that dream kept getting pushed back. At one point, I even thought I might never get married,' the 41-year-old said. Chung, who's based in Hong Kong, then recounted her first pregnancy, revealing that the biggest struggle was dealing with the hormonal changes in her body. 'Although I looked slim, some parts of my body became swollen and painful,' the former TVB star said. The actress went on to explain why she chose a natural delivery over a caesarean section. 'I wanted to experience what my mum went through when she gave birth to me,' she shared. Chung revealed that the recovery was grueling as she had torn badly, adding: 'I struggled to walk afterwards.' Still, enduring the physical pain of a natural delivery made her realise just how strong she was. For her second and third child, Chung took an even bolder step, opting for home births. Inspired after speaking with other parents, she thoroughly researched the process and adjusted her diet to prepare. Her efforts paid off in the end. 'No stitches were needed then. I could walk right away, and the wound healed well,' she said.

#SHOWBIZ: Madonna urges Pope Leo to visit Gaza, pleads for aid to starving children
NEW YORK CITY: Madonna has urged Pope Leo to make a humanitarian visit to Gaza to help save starving Palestinian children, warning that "there is no more time" to act. The American pop icon, who was raised Roman Catholic, made her appeal in an Instagram post on Aug 11, addressing the pontiff directly. "Most Holy Father, please go to Gaza and bring your light to the children before it's too late. As a mother, I cannot bear to watch their suffering. The children of the world belong to everyone. You are the only one of us who cannot be denied entry," she wrote. Madonna explained she turned to the pope because she believes political solutions alone cannot end the crisis. "Politics cannot affect change. Only consciousness can," she said. Her plea coincided with her son Rocco's birthday, which she used as an opportunity to highlight the plight of children in Gaza. "I feel the best gift I can give him as a mother is to ask everyone to do what they can to help save the innocent children caught in the crossfire," she added. The 65-year-old stressed she was not taking sides in the conflict. "I am not pointing fingers, placing blame, or taking sides. Everyone is suffering, including the mothers of the hostages. I pray they are released as well," she said. Pope Leo, who assumed the papacy in May, has been openly critical of Israel's military actions in Gaza and has repeatedly expressed concern for Palestinian civilians. The Vatican has not yet issued a response to Madonna's request, and it remains unclear whether Israel would grant the pope entry into Gaza. Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government has restricted access to the enclave, even to humanitarian aid groups and journalists. Other artistes who have spoken out about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza — where thousands face severe food shortages amid ongoing fighting — include U2 and Massive Attack.
