Puteri Sarah Liyana and Syamsul Yusof celebrate Eid together despite no longer together

Yahoo03-04-2025

3 Apr - Two years after they ended their marriage, it looks like Puteri Sarah Liyana and Syamsul Yusof are cordial enough to finally celebrate Eid together.
Syamsul's brother and director Syafiq Yusof recently attracted everybody's attention after he posted a family photo on the first day of Eid Al-Fitr, that sees Syamsul uniting his two children, Syaikhul Islam and Sumayyah.
Meanwhile, Puteri Sarah can be seen sitting next to her former mother-in-law, Datin Patimah Ismail in the same photo.
Syamsul himself posted several photos from the family reunion on his social media, sans a photo of his ex-wife, writing, "This Eid, may my prayers be answered."
On the other hand, Puteri Sarah, who are still close to her former in-laws, shared a few images of her own including one with Dato' Yusof Haslam and wife Datin Patimah, writing, "Selamat Hari Raya".
In another post, she wrote, "Eid is the best time to forgive and forget. May this Eid Al-Fitr be a new beginning in our lives," to which her former mother-in-law responded, "Our love cannot be broken for the sake of our beloved grandchildren."
The couple ended their marriage back in 2023 after a long divorce battle that had Puteri Sarah accusing Syamsul of cheating on her with another woman. The filmmaker then tied the knot with the said woman, Ira Kazar, though the marriage didn't last long.

Culture and colour come out in praise of a Nigerian king

Thousands gathered on Sunday in an ancient town in south-west Nigeria for a spectacular display of culture, colour and tradition. The Ojude Oba festival in Ijebu-Ode, brought together locals and visitors to pay homage to the Awujale - the traditional ruler of the Ijebu people. This union of drummers, musicians and dancers coupled with a fashion parade told a tale of people deeply connected to their roots. Ojude Oba - a Yoruba phrase meaning "the kings forecourt" - began over two centuries ago. Earmarked for the third day after Eid, this was originally a modest gathering of the Muslim faithful, thanking the king for allowing them to practise their religion freely. But it has grown to symbolise pride, unity and identity among all the Ijebu people regardless of religion. The women were elegantly turned-out in colourful traditional dresses, known here as iro and buba, along with the gele, or head wrap. Their outfits were made from lace or aso-oke, a locally sourced fabric woven by the Yoruba people. The sunglasses and hand fans meant to provide respite for the blistering sun were must-have accessories, complementing the looks. Dressed in traditional Yoruba agbada, the men agree months ahead on what outfits, colour and accessories to use for the festival. Each year, they tweak the style and colour and display. Accessories include matching caps, beads and shoes. Regardless of social status, the people are classified into age groups known as regbe-regbe, with hundreds belonging to each one. They are aimed at fostering unity among the locals. The horses were adorned in colourful ornaments of gold and silver. Their riders displayed their prowess and the strength of their horses circling the arena to thunderous applause from spectators. Shots from locally made guns sent white smoke into the air, signalling the arrival of each of the traditional warrior family, known as Balogun or Eleshin. They protected the Ijebu kingdom from external aggression at one time. The flamboyant parade of culture provides an economic boost to the area as dress makers, weavers, shoe makers, jewellers and others are contracted to make the desired outfits and matching accessories.
