#SHOWBIZ: Amyra, Amar grateful to celebrate Aidiladha together
Amyra, whose real name is Nur Amira Izzati Rosli, admitted she hadn't expected Amar to be back for the celebrations.
She thought his #JourneyToTanahHaram expedition would keep him away for three months.
"Alhamdulillah, Amar returned last Thursday. His flight was actually scheduled for Friday, but thankfully, he arrived early.
"We thought the expedition would take three months because he planned to travel through India and Pakistan, but that wasn't possible, so he shortened the trip.
"Before he left, I was sad, thinking I'd be celebrating Eid al-Adha alone, but I told myself it would be okay.
"It seems Allah allowed me to celebrate Eid al-Adha with my husband. Alhamdulillah, we were even able to fast on the Day of Arafah together," she told BH Online.
Sharing an update on Amar, Amyra said her husband is in good health and will be holding a small Thanksgiving ceremony with his family this evening.
"Amar is doing well because he had enough rest in Madinah for about five days. I'm so relieved to see him. "The first thing Amar said when he saw us was that he missed us," she shared.
Speaking about her role as a wife, Amyra emphasised that she supports her husband's passions and always maintains a positive outlook.
"Honestly, I don't see it as much of a sacrifice; I simply allow it because it's Amar's passion. I have to support what my husband enjoys. What he's doing is an experience very few people get.
"I haven't had to manage many new things, but I'm learning to be more independent. I like to manage my own life, and even when Amar isn't around, I can handle things myself.
"I can manage everything well – the children, family, work, household chores, and everything else. Really, God allowed me to experience independence," she explained.
Amar and Datuk Muhamad Muqharabbin Mokhtarrudin, also known as Qobin, concluded their cycling mission under the #JourneyToTanahHaram programme in Madinah.
Amar and Qobin, who were also the first Malaysians to conquer Mount Everest, began their cycling journey from Perlis, traversing several countries, including Thailand and Iran, before arriving in Saudi Arabia.

#SHOWBIZ: Spring guitarist Iskandar passes away in Miri
KUALA LUMPUR: Tengku Raden Iskandar Tengku Ismail, better known as Iskandar Spring, the talented guitarist from the popular rock band Spring, sadly passed away at his residence in Miri, Sarawak, at approximately 1am this morning. He was 53. Ayob Abd Majid, Vice Chairman of Music Malaysia, confirmed the news, stating his association was informed by Iskandar's wife, Nur Hidayah Cecilia. "I was informed that Iskandar died at 1am this morning in Miri. I immediately informed Ameng Spring's wife, Sabariah, who then contacted Cecilia. His body is currently being prepared at the mosque," Ayob told BH Online. "He had been suffering from a stroke and kidney failure for a long time." Attempts by BH Online to reach Cecilia for comment were unsuccessful. Ayob remembered Iskandar as not just a gifted musician and one of Spring's co-founders, but also a dear friend and "comrade-in-arms." "We used to work closely when we were at Sony Music, where Spring was under my care at the time. Our relationship wasn't just professional; it was also full of friendship and mutual respect," he shared. "I've been saddened to follow the progress of his health, where he suffered from a stroke and kidney failure, before he moved to his wife's village in Miri. The last time we were in touch was when I delivered a donation to him. Even during that difficult period, his voice remained calm, patient, and full of gratitude." Ayob added that Iskandar was never forgotten by his fellow artists. "We at Konsortium Irama, together with PJ Art Lane, Ameng Spring, and Umarul Iklim, once organised a special charity programme to help ease his burden when he was ill. The programme wasn't just a fundraiser; it was a symbol of love and loyalty within the country's arts scene. His passing is a great loss for the Malaysian music world." "However, his legacy, rhythm, spirit, and friendship will continue to be remembered. May Allah forgive all his sins, accept his good deeds, and place his soul among the righteous," he said. Previously, it was reported that Iskandar had been paralysed and was suffering from various chronic illnesses, including diabetes and speech difficulties. He also required regular dialysis due to kidney complications, which left him unable to work and without a source of income.
