SpaceDollah gives blessing to rumoured Syed Saddiq
4 Mar - Bella Astillah and Syed Saddiq might be keeping mum about the actual nature of their relationship, but that doesn't stop the politician's brother from giving his blessings to the rumoured couple.
In a recent livestream session, content creator SpaceDollah, real name Syed Abdullah, stated that he is definitely okay with the idea of his brother being more than colleagues with the Sabahan singer.
"I will bless them. Even I think they are good together. They have chemistry," he said, when asked by netizens to share his two cents about them.
Syed also said that his politician brother seemed to look happier since he got to know Bella.
"I know my brother. I rarely see him so happy. If he is happy, I am happy too," he added.
Jokingly calling Saddiq "Syed Segaraga" (a character from the classic P. Ramlee movie "Tiga Abdul"), Syed said that he hopes to see his brother settle down.
"I think Bella suits him. Pray that they are meant to be. Let's hope that there is a spark," he said.
Saddiq and Bella were first united by fashion brand Primavalet to promote their new Eid collection together, before their chemistry had Malaysian netizens supporting and calling for real romance.

Ozomatli, celebrating 30th anniversary, returns to Fountain Valley
Los Angeles-based band Ozomatli is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and those in Orange County have not one, but two chances to see the eclectic, multi-genre act perform. Ozomatli will be playing a free concert at Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley on Thursday at 6 p.m., kicking off the OC Parks Summer Concert Series. Ulises Bella, who plays saxophone and provides vocals, is one of six founding members that is still at it three decades later. 'It's a trip,' Bella said in an interview with the Daily Pilot. 'When we were younger, when we were kids, none of us thought that this was going to last that long. When you're younger, you're thinking maybe the band would last a couple of years, maybe it would last 10 years. Now we're at 30, and it's incredible. It's a testament to the chemistry of the members of the band, and our commitment to the music and to ourselves as a group.' The band will return to Orange County on Aug. 3 for an OC Fair show at the Pacific Amphitheatre in Costa Mesa, along with X and Los Lobos. The shows are part of Ozomatli's '30 Revolutions' tour. A hometown anniversary show was scheduled for Saturday night at the California Plaza in downtown L.A., but Bella said it has been postponed due to the curfew and ICE raids in the city. Bella said Ozomatli, a band whose origins are steeped in activism, instead plans to perform at 'No Kings' demonstrations planned for Saturday. 'That's going to be Plan B,' he said. 'I think [the raids are] pure political theater. The worst kind, too, because the people who are suffering are working class people.' Three decades in, Ozomatli also still features founding members Asdru Sierra on vocals and trumpet, Raul Pacheco on vocals and guitars, Wil-Dog Abers on bass, Jiro Yamaguchi on percussion and Justin Poree on vocals and percussion. The group has won three Grammy Awards, including a Latin Grammy, and is unique in the way it blends Latin, hip-hop, reggae, funk music and more. 'All of us grew up with all kinds of different music growing up, and it's this blend of those different kinds of music that make up the gumbo of what Ozomatli's sound is,' Bella said. 'I will say that the scope of the influences from where we've started to where we are now has grown over the years. We used L.A. as our foundation, and traveling around the country, you go to places like Chicago and New Orleans, cities with very important musical traditions, [Washington] D.C., New York. 'Then we go all around the world, and we're able to soak up some of those obscure references and obscure music styles,' Bella said. 'It's expanded our whole musical horizon.' Admission and parking are both free for Thursday's show at Mile Square Park, with attendees welcome to save their spot on the grass for the concert and enjoy food trucks and concessions starting at 5 p.m. The concert, which will take place by the north lake near Freedom Hall, starts at 6 p.m. The OC Parks Summer Concert Series continues back at Mile Square Park on June 26 with Doin' Time, a Sublime cover band. More free concerts are scheduled throughout the summer at Mason and Irvine regional parks in Irvine, Craig Regional Park in Fullerton and Salt Creek Beach in Dana Point.

Malaysian-born actress Pik-Sen Lim, known for roles in ‘Mind Your Language', ‘Doctor Who' and ‘Johnny English Reborn', dies at 80
KUALA LUMPUR, June 13 — Malaysian-born British actress Pik-Sen Lim, best known for her role in the sitcom Mind Your Language, has died on Monday at the age of 80. Lim gained international recognition and became a familiar face on British and Malaysian television for her role as Chung Su-Lee in Mind Your Language, a popular British comedy that aired in the late 1970s. Born in Penang in 1944, Lim's birth name was romanised as Lim Phaik-Seng, but she later changed her given name to Pik-Sen after noticing that her British friends frequently mispronounced 'Phaik' as 'fake.' She starred in Doctor Who, playing Chin Lee in The Mind of Evil (1971), and appeared in British series such as military drama Spearhead, Coronation Street, Casualty, Holby City and The Bill. Her film credits include Johnny English Reborn (2011), in which she played the Killer Cleaner. More recently, she was the narrator in the Dark Souls video game series and appeared in American TV series The Nevers (2023) and Vampire Academy (2022). The British Film Institute described Lim as "the most recognisable Chinese actor on British television throughout the 1970s and 80s." She was fondly remembered by fellow actor Daniel Y Loh in a heartfelt tribute on Facebook. 'I acted on stage in two plays with her as well as numerous readings, workshops, audio etc as well,' Loh wrote. 'A joyous person, full of love and laughter and mischief, she was so much fun to be around and her gift for comedy was such that you always felt safe in front of an audience with her, that absolutely unique voice and vivacious energy carrying us all with her.' Loh recalled their time working together on several productions, including Citizens of Nowhere?, which they performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival the summer before the Covid-19 pandemic. They also shared the stage in a production of Romeo & Juliet, where he played Mercutio opposite Lim's Nurse. 'We've shared the same agent for the last 25 odd years and she'll be hugely missed there as well,' he wrote.
