#NSTviral: Elderly woman in 'kain batik' wows crowd with perfect bowling strike
KUALA LUMPUR: What began as an ordinary day at a local bowling alley turned into a memorable one, thanks to an elderly woman dressed in a traditional kain batik who impressed everyone with her bowling skills.
The scene was captured by TikTok user @jahlelawati, who happened to be at the alley and recorded the remarkable moment.
The elderly woman calmly stepped up to take her turn, drawing attention from those nearby. Despite her modest attire and the casual setting, she carried herself with quiet confidence and poise.
With a smooth, effortless swing, she rolled the ball straight down the centre of the lane, sending it crashing into the pins and scoring a perfect strike.
"This grandma is amazing… always strikes! She must have represented the state when she was younger. Wearing kain batik is no obstacle… Well done," read the video caption.
The clip quickly went viral, sparking an outpouring of admiration in the comments section.
User @rozitakhodi wrote: "Wearing kain batik but still showing mad skills… Don't underestimate the older generation."
Another user, @onelifeonerunmakeitcount, added a touch of humour: "Dangerous paati (grandma in Tamil), this skill must have come from throwing slippers, brooms, and who knows what else."
The playful banter continued, with @run.cikgu.run joking: "This is the original coach of Shalin Zulkifli," referring to Malaysia's tenpin bowling queen and former world champion.
Meanwhile, @devadarshan_22 said: "Patti rocked it, and the people in the next lane were shocked."

#SHOWBIZ: Actress Saidah Kamarudin cancels wedding, claims ex has only RM500 in bank account
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian actress Saidah Kamarudin has revealed the reasons behind her decision to call off her engagement to fellow actor Muhammad Muntazar Ghufran in October last year. The former couple became engaged in May 2024, following a year of dating. In a recent interview, Saidah, 29, cited financial instability as a primary factor in her decision to end the wedding plans. She claimed that Muntazar, 22, had only RM500 in his bank account. "You should be looking for a job or continuing your studies," she lamented. The actress further alleged that following their breakup, Muntazar hacked into her TikTok account and posted fabricated comments under her name in an attempt to damage her reputation. It's understood that Saidah filed a police report at the Setia Alam police station in Shah Alam, Selangor, on May 31. "When Muntazar and I were still together, we shared the passwords to our social media accounts. After we broke up, I changed my passwords and removed all access." Meanwhile, Muntazar has refuted Saidah's claims that he was unable to afford their wedding. The actor explained that he told her he had additional funds invested in unit trusts. "I told Saidah about it, but she told me that's investment savings and not actual money. If it's true that I have only RM500 in savings, how is it possible for me to pay close to RM1,000 monthly for my car while also giving my family around RM1,000?" he argued.

However, one Sabahan woman took 'moving house' quite literally. Through a viral video shared on TikTok, user @siah0004 documented her method and journey in moving her entire house, with the help of some locals, in Kampung Terusan, Semporna, by placing it on small motor boats and floating the structure a few kilometers north to Kampung Balimbang. Simpan sini sebagai kenangan rumah # sister Pindah kg Terusan To balimbang 😍 lagu jiwang dulu kita🤣 Many were fascinated by how she managed to pull this off, and asked many questions about the entire process. One user on TikTok asked whether if the furniture remained in the house while it was being transported. The owner of the house said all the furniture remained in place while the pink home was floating to its new destination. Meanwhile, many also asked her to share a video of the house once it has reached its new destination. The woman obliged and uploaded a second video on her TikTok account showing her home safely sitting on stilts at its new location. Those who watched the unconventional house-moving process also shared some hilarious comments, such as how confusing it would be for couriers when they send a parcel to her address, only to find that the entire house is not there anymore. 'If I could move my house like this, I'd move every week,' one user commented. Another user said 'The neighbours will be confused. In the morning there was a house there, and in the afternoon it's gone'. Share your thoughts with us via TRP's . Get more stories like this to your inbox by signing up for our newsletter.
