#SHOWBIZ: Tengku Ampuan Pahang visits Akiko Okumura's grave
KUALA LUMPUR: The Tengku Ampuan of Pahang, Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah, recently paid her last respects to the late Akiko Okumura, also known as Aisyah Abdullah, by visiting her final resting place.
In a video shared on social media by Akiko's widower, entrepreneur and social media influencer Abd Ridzuan Abdul Mutalib (better known as Ridzuan Ridzokumura), Tunku Azizah is seen visiting Akiko's grave in Subang Jaya, Selangor.
Ridzuan expressed his gratitude in the caption, writing: "Thank you very much to Tengku Ampuan Pahang, Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah, who is willing to visit the grave of Aisyah Abdullah @ Akiko Okumura."
In the comment section, netizens fondly recalled how Tunku Azizah used to leave comments during the couple's live TikTok sessions when Akiko was alive.
One netizen commented, "If I'm not mistaken, Tunku Azizah used to comment when Akiko would prepare food for her family. She's lucky that, while people may not know her personally, many people still remember her, including a beloved Sultan's consort."
Another added, "Maybe Tunku also feels sad like all of us. Al-Fatihah for a good person, the late Akiko."
Akiko was confirmed to have died after falling from the fourth floor of a condominium in Subang Jaya on Feb 28.
She married Ridzuan in February 2009, and they have a 13-year-old son, Sky Taizo Okumura.

Alif Zafran wins KJH cosplay contest with homemade Satria suit
PIC BY NSTP/RAIHANA MANSOR KUALA LUMPUR: Eleven-year-old Alif Zafran Zairif stole the spotlight at the Ejen Ali cosplay competition during Karnival Jom Heboh at KL Base today, wearing a striking homemade replica of the animated hero's Satria suit. The Satria suit, short for System Advance Tactical Raid Intelligence Armor, is a signature upgrade from the animated series, characterised by its high-tech design, glowing blue LED lights, visor helmet, and reinforced combat-ready body plating. Alif's father, Zairif Affizal, 38, was the creative force behind the costume, completing the project in just two weeks after learning about the competition. "I only found out about the Ejen Ali cosplay contest two weeks ago, so I worked on it day and night," said Zairif, who used images and videos from Facebook and TikTok for reference. "This was my second time making a costume, and I wanted to go all out for my son." Rather than ordering a custom made suit which can cost up to RM1,000, Zairif built the ensemble from scratch himself for under RM300, using mainly EVA foam and recycled materials. He said the most challenging part was crafting the helmet. "To get it right, you really need skill. Without the proper technique, it ends up looking odd. "It took some trial and error to get the shape, proportions and finish just right." Alif took home RM500 and some goodies, followed by the runner-up and third place both cosplaying as Ejen Alicia winning RM400 and RM300. Judging the competition was Ejen Rizwan voice actor Azman Zulkiply, who praised the high level of creativity shown by all participants, especially the support shown by parents. "If I could, I'd make everyone the winner. "Every contestant had their own unique effort, and you could see how happy the kids were on stage," he told reporters. He admitted it was a tough decision but ultimately named Alif as his personal favourite. "I really liked Alicia, the last contestant with the action scene, very cool with the cut-outs and all. "But if I had to choose one, I'd go with the Satria suit. The glowing blue eyes and lights were next-level. You could see the effort." Azman also praised the Ejen Ali franchise for instilling positive values in children. "The series promotes friendship, loyalty and other strong values. "It's wonderful to see parents supporting their kids through local content like this. "It shows how much fun and pride there is in celebrating something made in Malaysia." The day's activities kicked off at 9am with Zumba with Ejen Ali, followed by a colouring contest at the mini stage at Studio Tonton Drama Sangat and the cosplay competition at 11am. Yesterday, Fans of Ejen Ali: The Movie 2 flocked to a special meet-and-greet session at Karnival Jom Heboh 2025 to catch a glimpse of the voice actors and mascots of the popular animation. Shafiq Isa and Noorhayati Maslini Omar, who voice Ejen Bakar and Ejen Alicia, charmed the crowd with an interactive session and prize giveaways.

Bella Astillah, Syed Saddiq delight fans with traditional dance
PETALING JAYA: Local celebrity Bella Astillah and Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman wowed social media with their captivating rendition of traditional ethnic dances to celebrate the harvest festivals of Sabah and Sarawak. Bella, whose full name is Dayang Ara Nabella Awang Astillah, posted the TikTok video of her and Syed Saddiq performing while dressed in traditional costumes, complete with headgear and accessories. 'My first dance with YB (Syed Saddiq) was not perfect, but it was perfectly fun. 'I am grateful for your courage and willingness to try something new. That's what made it special,' she wrote in the post. She also wished everyone a meaningful and happy Kaamatan Festival and Gawai Day celebration. While many social media users commended them for their efforts, some teased Syed Saddiq for his dance moves, and some also advised him not to quit his day job as a politician. Online portal Majoriti also quoted Syed Saddiq as labelling himself a 'robot' for his dance moves. 'From day to night, we had many retakes as I was awkward/robotic. Luckily, I had Bella by my side to make things less awkward. 'I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I rewatch the video, but it's okay, I will just focus on parliamentary work,' he said. Sabahans celebrated the Kaamatan Festival on May 30 and 31, while Sarawakians observe Gawai Day on June 1 and 2.
