Amy Search Denies Verbally Assaulting Shila Amzah; Files Police Report Against Singer
Fearing for her safety, Shila lodged a police report. Investigations are currently ongoing, and the case may take some time to resolve, especially now that it has been reported the accused has also filed a police report against the mother-of-two. Here's the full story:
According to several reports, police have confirmed that Amy Search has filed a 'covering report' against Shila Amzah, after being accused of verbally assaulting the singer in front of stage crew, musicians, and clients on stage during a rehearsal for a music festival. Shah Alam District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Mohd. Iqbal Ibrahim explained that the report is more of a counter-report to deny the allegations made against him.
'Yes, the report was made. However, it was more of a 'covering report' and a denial. The report has been referred to the Dang Wangi police station. It was filed on 15th July,' he told reporters. The rock legend's wife, Datin Norhasniza Hassan, later posted a photo showing that she and his lawyers were also present at the police station when the report was lodged. However, neither Amy nor his legal team have provided further explanation or responded to media enquiries about the case.
At the time of writing, Shila Amzah has yet to respond to the report filed against her. However, she previously stated that she would allow the authorities to carry out their investigations before deciding on her next course of action. She also clarified that she is open to sharing the stage with Amy and will remain professional when it comes to work.
As for actress Nabila Huda, the daughter of Amy Search, she has yet to comment on the allegations made against her father. However, many suspect that she may have alluded to issues with her stepmother in a recent Instagram post, which featured her rehearsing a monologue for an upcoming project, one that seemingly mirrors the current real-life situation.

The claw grip is trending, and it says a lot about women's fashion woes
Everywhere you look, women have their hands full. They are clutching water bottles, phones, cups of matcha and wallets. Now that it's summer, sunglasses dangle off the pinkies of already stuffed hands. Never mind that women's handbags, where these items could theoretically live, make up an entire industry and that bigger bags, in particular, are having a moment. The phenomenon, in which women are gripping their necessities without the aid of pockets or bags, is called the claw grip, and on social media, it has been crowned as a secret superpower. In one video on TikTok, a woman challenged herself to carry as many items as possible in one hand. She managed 15, including a lip balm, a pen, a bottle of hand sanitiser, a Kindle, a notebook, a wallet, a power bank, a comb and three water bottles. Read more: Why toes are taking over: Fashion's growing obsession with feet-first style An Instagram account dedicated to girls carrying things (which uses a profane synonym for 'things' and sometimes goes by GCS) posts images submitted by users of their hands full of various bric-a-brac. 'I have seen my grandma do the claw grip all her life,' comedian Atsuko Okatsuka said in an email. 'Every grandma of every culture and race always has, like, a napkin or a piece of trash that they've been carrying around for a long time, maybe years. 'I have taken on the passed-down tradition of claw hands myself,' she added. 'Whether it's mayonnaise packets, or napkins or my cellphone, I am always holding stuff.' For Halle Robbe, personal experience with this tradition prompted her to create the GCS account on Instagram. In 2021, Robbe had run out to a nearby bodega. 'I just brought my keys, my wallet and my AirPods with me, and then I was going to get a Red Bull,' she said, noting that she did not bring a bag. 'I had it all in my hand so I took a photo and put it on my personal Instagram with some silly caption that was some version of, like, 'After hundreds of years of evolution, this is what I can do.'' Her friends responded to her post almost immediately, saying they do the same thing. Robbe created the GCS account that same day. She initially solicited photos from friends and co-workers, and now she receives more than 100 submissions a day. 'I think we've all been there when we have just, like, an assortment of stuff and we're running out the door,' said Abby Cox, 29, a fashion historian and a YouTube content creator. 'I need to make sure I have my glasses. I need my water bottle. Do I need to bring a snack? 'And so you're going out the door with your purse,' she added, 'And then the stuff that should be in your purse.' A popular theory around the origins of the claw grip is that it is a reaction to the fashion industry's refusal to provide women with the functional pockets that are standard in men's clothing. It was not always this way. As far back as the Regency and Victorian eras, women had pockets in the form of bags that were tied around their waists underneath their big, flouncy skirts, Cox said. Their dresses had slits through which women could access these pockets, which could be as big or small as necessary. Cox added: 'They would have pockets in the hems of skirts or they would have what we call butt pockets, because in the back pleats of gowns, you could hide a deep pocket.' In one of her YouTube videos, in which she is dressed in Victorian clothing, she put an entire bottle of prosecco in such a pocket. In the late 20th century, as female clothing shifted toward narrower silhouettes and lighter textiles, substantial pockets became difficult to incorporate, so they were sized down or erased from garments altogether, she said. In February 2024, Hailey Bieber's brand, Rhode, released a phone case with a built-in lip gloss holder that generated a wait list of more than 200,000 interested customers. Now the case and the lip gloss have become immediately recognisable, partly because of how many times they're seen peeking through women's hands – or particularly, Bieber's hands. This month, Glossier – which from its earliest days had packaged items in pink transparent reusable pouches – released a pair of terry-cloth shorts with a sliver of a pocket that fit only lip balms. There are also side pockets, which could fit a phone, and a single belt loop, potentially for key rings. There are also theories that the claw grip reflects the chaos of the minds of women who are thinking through to-do lists and mentally writing text messages and running errands all at the same time. 'I think holding things in our hands actually is our need to keep something in control,' Okatsuka said. 'I started getting submissions that were like, 'Oh, I'm carrying XYZ and the weight of the world' or something metaphorical like that,' Robbe said. The claw grip, she added, could be seen as 'an extension of or in parallel with the mental and emotional and spiritual burdens that women carry'.

'One day at a farmers market, I saw a woman carrying an absolutely gigantic cabbage,' Kalman said in a 2023 TED Talk. 'It made me think of all the things women hold, literally and metaphorically.' Yes, they hold cabbages, balloons, phones. But also, in her own words, "the home and the family and the children and the food". "The friendships, the work, the work of the world and the work of being human. The memories and the troubles and the sorrows and the triumphs and the love. Men do as well, but not quite in the same way,' she added. She turned her observations into a book of paintings. It is called Women Holding Things. – ©2025 The New York Times Company This article originally appeared in The New York Times.

Let it stylishly hang loose: Untucked shirts are all the rage right now
Somewhat unkempt, yet considered, this short-sleeve shirt is tucked in at the front, but hanging out slightly at the back. Photo: Instagram/Prada If fashion would have it, every day would be a dress-down Friday. Shirts are hanging out and proud, and we're not just talking polos, but crisp office shirts and even formal tuxedo ones. It's a deliberate departure from stiff, formal traditions, allowing shirttails fly free as a kind of modern nonchalance. It's fashion's way of saying, 'I'm not obsessed with fashion, but I am effortlessly aware.' It's a calculatedly casual way to look hip, cool and unbothered. This undone, off-duty trend carries an undercurrent of rebellion, which accords the wearer a certain rakishness. While this style may be relaxed, it does take some thought. The shirt has to be the right length, the fabric intentional, and the rest of the outfit, whether tailored trousers or casual denim, needs to balance the ease. Read more: Why toes are taking over: Fashion's growing obsession with feet-first style It's a look that requires a sense of fashion, perhaps a little swagger too, or you might end up looking sloppy than stylish. This Japanese label gives the trend a modern spin with a simple half-tuck that makes the undone look feel sharply styled. Photo: Instagram/Sacai The style can be seen in the Spring/Summer 2026 Louis Vuitton menswear collection where a traditionally formal pairing comprising beige trousers and white shirt complete with necktie is layered with a buttoned-up pink sweater. At first glance, nothing appears out of the ordinary. But the white shirt is worn untucked, its hem peeking out beneath the sweater, lending the outfit a quietly rebellious edge. Over at the much-awaited Spring/Summer 2026 Dior menswear collection, new Dior designer, Jonathan Anderson, champions a similarly untucked spirit. A light blue and white pinstripe shirt is not only left untucked, but its cuffs are left undone. Even the necktie is rendered inside out, which is a deliberate design quirk rather than a wardrobe blunder. Tailored, with a fun and casual twist! Japanese label Sacai's take on the trend is half-tucked, and we're here for it. A pair of black, baggy trousers is styled with a white shirt that is tucked in on one side, left to hang loose on the other.

Untied, of course. Call it bold or playful, it's a fresh take on evening wear. Chinese actor Deng Wei joins in with a brown Moschino suit, his crisp white shirt left untucked for just the right touch of ease. Then there's Prada, its striped short-sleeve shirt that is tucked in at the front, but hanging out slightly at the back. A little undone, but in a cool way. Dashing but not too neat. Now that's what you call a tuck with attitude.

Two officers nabbed over ‘flying passport' activity
Progress check: Roszita (second from left) speaking to enforcement personnel at BSI in Johor Baru. — THOMAS YONG/The Star JOHOR BARU: Two enforcement officers at the Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex at the Sultan Iskandar Building (BSI) here have been detained for alleged involvement in the 'flying passport' activity. The Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency CIQ BSI commander, Roszita Dim, said the male suspects, aged 31 and 49, were picked up on Friday during an operation by its compliance unit that began at 3pm. 'Suspicious activity was first detected around 7.30pm at the vehicle zone counter of the entry point. 'Investigators observed several questionable entries of visitor data using the login credentials of an officer posted at the counter, including data linked to foreign nationals flagged as problematic visitors. 'These entries triggered manual data correction actions by one of the suspects,' she told a press conference yesterday. Roszita said that around 9pm, the unit detected another instance of suspicious data clearance involving a problematic visitor, this time using the user ID of a supervisor stationed at the motorcycle zone. A search at the vehicle zone counter uncovered RM2,800 cash and two mobile phones in one of the suspects' possession, she added. She said the investigation then led to a concealed stash of 14 foreign passports – 11 issued by China and three by Indonesia – hidden inside a black bag above the ceiling at another counter. Further inspection at the motorcycle zone revealed two additional mobile phones belonging to the other suspect, she added. Roszita said both suspects were handed over to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission in Johor at 10am yesterday. She said the agency's integrity unit head in Putrajaya had been notified of the arrest, and that an investigation is ongoing to determine if the act was syndicated. Roszita emphasised that the agency is committed to upholding integrity and rooting out misconduct, particularly corruption among enforcement officers and department personnel at the country's border entry points. 'Flying passport' refers to an illegal immigration tactic in which passports are carried – often by third parties – across borders without the physical presence of their holders. The passports are then returned to their owners, who had entered the country through unauthorised channels. This method allows problematic individuals to bypass immigration checks and security protocols undetected.
