Malaysian entrepreneur apologises for spending only $300k on daughter's 11th birthday
Ms Farhana Zahra (left) also gave her 11-year-old daughter an Apple computer, a Rolex watch and a Toyota Vellfire multi-purpose vehicle (MPV). PHOTOS: SCREENGRABS FROM FARHANAZAHRA91/TIKTOK A Malaysian entrepreneur has come under fire after revealing that she spent RM1 million (S$303,700) to throw a lavish birthday for her 11-year-old daughter, and apologised for not spending more. Besides a celebration that featured balloons and cakes, Ms Farhana Zahra, who runs a beauty and dietary supplement business, also gave her daughter extravagant gifts. Among them were an Apple computer, a Rolex watch and a Toyota Vellfire multi-purpose vehicle (MPV). 'Forgive mama, this is all I could afford to give you. I only spent RM1 million for this birthday,' she posted in a June 3 TikTok video, which has since gone viral with over 2.2 million views. She also wished that her daughter's dream of becoming a businesswoman will come true. The video opened with her, her husband and three daughters all dressed up in matching black outfits descending a grand staircase. They stepped onto a stage outside the house where they and the assembled guests sang 'Happy birthday' to her eldest daughter, whom she called Yaya, before the unveiling of the gifts. Ms Farhana said Yaya's wishes are fulfilled on an almost daily basis, leaving her unsure of what else to give to the little girl, adding that she hoped the 'little gifts' will make her happy. The video and Ms Farhana use of the word 'only' to describe the amount she spent, did not go down well with netizens, who accused her of flaunting her wealth and trying to gain attention. 'Not to be rude, but trying very hard to show off,' a netizen with the handle Aiman said. Another netizen, Mono, said: 'That's not the right way to raise a daughter... I think you're overreacting and trying too hard.' Others noted the impracticality of the gifts, especially the car, given that the girl is still too young to drive. '(I) need to know the logic of giving cars to a child... They can't even drive, no they're not even going to drive knowing they can afford (to hire) drivers,' said a netizen with the handle Njwa. In another follow-up video, Ms Farhana also surprised her child's former driver with a luxury car as a token of appreciation.

Britain's Prince Harry explored changing surname to Spencer, says Guardian report , Entertainment News
LONDON — Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Meghan explored the idea of changing their family name to Spencer amid months of delays in their two children receiving British passports, the Guardian newspaper reported on Wednesday (June 4). Harry, the Duke of Sussex, believed that the passport delays were the result of British officials blocking the applications over the use of the Sussex surname and HRH titles (his or her royal highness) for his children, the newspaper said, citing an unnamed source. A source with knowledge of the matter told Reuters that the prince had a meeting with his late mother Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, to discuss the family name. The source also said other media reports which said Spencer had advised Harry against changing his surname and that the legal hurdles to doing so were insurmountable, were inaccurate. Harry, the younger son of King Charles, stepped down from royal duties in 2020 and moved to California, where he lives with Meghan and their two children, Archie and Lilibet. Since leaving, he and Meghan have been highly critical of the royals in TV documentaries, an explosive interview with US chat show host Oprah Winfrey and most notably in Harry's best-selling biography "Spare". The prince is barely on speaking terms with either his father or his elder brother, heir to the throne Prince William. In a BBC interview last month, Harry said he wanted reconciliation with the British royal family, but that his father King Charles will not speak to him over a separate row about his security.
