Reen Rahim elated to be honoured with Most Admired Actress award
10 Jun - Reen Rahim is elated to be named Malaysia's Most Admired Actress by the Malaysian Industry Personalities and Entrepreneurs Awards 2025.
The actress, who accepted the award in late May, stated that she had never been awarded or recognised for her work for the past 15 years since she became an actress, and is elated to finally receive one.
"I would like to thank everyone involved directly and indirectly for this award. I didn't expect this event to raise the name of Noreen Ashikin Abdul Rahim, an ordinary woman from an ordinary family," she said.
In addition, Reen and her husband also received the 2025 Outstanding Business of the Year award at the event. The two founded the Reen Rahim Hygiene Wash.
The actress said that every success comes from one's parents' blessings.
"The foolish can become smart, the poor can be rich, the ordinary can become extraordinary. Please pray that my husband and I will become more known and that the higher we go, the humbler we become," she added.

'Sadly, largely true': Ex-Newsboys singer speaks on sexual assault allegations
Michael Tait, former lead singer of Christian rock band Newsboys, has admitted to wrongdoing after allegations of sexual assault surfaced. Tait, 59, took to social media on June 10 to share his side of the story, telling fans in a statement titled "My Confession" that a recent report detailing his drug and alcohol abuse and sexual activity are "sadly, largely true." "For some two decades I used and abused cocaine, consumed far too much alcohol, and, at times, touched men in an unwanted sensual way. I am ashamed of my life choices and actions, and make no excuses for them," he wrote. "I will simply call it what God calls it-sin." Tait's admission comes nearly a week after his bandmates released their own statement addressing the allegations highlighted in a years-long investigation by Christian media outlet The Roys Report. Three men, who were all 22 at the time of their encounters, told the outlet that Tait befriended them and later engaged in non-consensual sexual acts with them. Tait made friends with the men while on tour in 2004, 2010 and 2014, according to The Roys Report. "Last night, our hearts were shattered when we read the news alleging drug abuse and inappropriate sexual actions by our former lead singer, Michael Tait," the Nashville-based band shared in a June 5 statement. "While Michael has not addressed these allegations, we are devastated even by the implications." The statement continued: "First and foremost, our hearts are with the victims who have bravely shared their stories. If you are a victim, we urge you to come forward. We absolutely do not condone any form of sexual assault." Tait was the former lead singer of Australian-formed Christian rock band Newsboys. The four-time Grammy-award winning vocalist replaced original member Peter Furler as the group's new lead vocalist in 2009. Tait officially left the group in January 2025 after 15 years. Before he performed with Newsboys, Tait was a founding member of DC Talks, a Christian rap and rock trio, that released five major studio albums together. Tait's bandmates were "horrified, heartbroken, and angry" to learn of the accusations made in the report, writing in the statement that they felt as though they and their families were "deceived for the last fifteen years." "The four of us are husbands and fathers. Between the four of us, we have fourteen children," the band said in the statement. "Our wives and children have made many sacrifices while we have dedicated our lives to playing music together that glorifies God." In the statement, Newsboys members also revealed that Tait confessed to them and management that he had "been living a double-life" when he abruptly left the band in January. Tait, who said he does not blame anyone or anything besides himself, said he left Newsboys earlier this year "to get help." "I was not healthy, physically or spiritually, and tired of leading a double life," Tait wrote. "I spent six weeks at a treatment center in Utah, receiving help that may have saved my life from ultimate destruction. I have been clean and sober since, though I still lots of hard work ahead of me." Contributing: Marcus K.

Funds Pile Into Southeast Asian Bonds Despite Record Low Yields
Investors are making a beeline for Southeast Asian sovereign bonds despite their record low yields amid a shift away from US assets and on bets for further interest-rate cuts in the region. The average of 10-year yields in Southeast Asian nations relative to US Treasuries has dropped to the lowest in data going back to 2011, according to Bloomberg calculations. The region's bonds are benefiting from investors seeking alternatives to US assets as part of the ' sell America ' trade fueled by unease over President Donald Trump's policies.
