Nelissa Nizam denies being Ahmad Idham's favourite actress
23 Jun - Nelissa Nizam recently dismissed the notion that she is Ahmad Idham's favourite actress, after appearing in four of the filmmaker's films since his directorial comeback. The actress, who will be seen next in Idham's "Impak Maksima 2", stated that it would be wrong to call her the director's "golden child", but that there is nothing she can do if that's what people think. "I have worked with other filmmakers too. But maybe it's because he is comfortable with me. We have known each other for quite a while, so maybe that's what made it easy for us to cooperate. I know how he works and he knows what I can give," she said. Nelissa also hopes that their closeness would not be misinterpreted by the public. "He treats all the actors the same. When he is comfortable with a particular actor, he would call them back," she added. Aside from "Impak Maksima 2" which will be releasing on 17 July, Nelissa has also collaborated with Idham in "Saka Perawan", "Reza GTR" and also "Sahak Gangster". (Photo Source: Nelissa IG)

Ahmad Idham betting it all on "Impak Maksima 2"
16 Jun - Ahmad Idham is betting all his chips on his upcoming new movie, "Impak Maksima 2", after his recent film, "Sahak Gangster" didn't do well in cinemas. The director, who made his filmmaking comeback last year following his departure from FINAS, stated that he is ready to retire as a director if the film doesn't do well in theatres. "Impak Maksima 2 is the most critical work of my life. The film will determine my direction in the industry from now on," said Idham. "If it fails, I'm not sure there will be any more investors willing to give me a chance and it also means that I may no longer be relevant. And if that's true, I have to think about another career after this, so this film will be the deciding factor." Idham said that he does worry about the fate of the movie, but understands that it is part and parcel of being in the film industry. "That's why I always tell young artistes, from the first day they enter the industry, they need to have a long-term plan," he added. Taking the example of Yusof Haslam, who directed hit films like "Sembilu" and "Maria Mariana" before moving to producing, the filmmaker said that Yusof is lucky to have two sons who inherited his filmmaking talent. "I have to be realistic too. As great as we are, there is an end point to it," he added. Idham came back to the industry last year by helming "Anak Perjanjian Syaitan 2", "Saka Perawan" and "Reeza GTR". Aside from "Impak Maksima", he also directed "Sahak Gangster" this year.

Place to hold functions for Papar folks
Published on: Thursday, May 01, 2025 Published on: Thu, May 01, 2025 By: Hayati Dzulkifli Text Size: Armizan (second left) showing thumbs up after signing a plaque to mark the opening of the Majestic Ballroom, with Susan (second right), Onn Norshal (third right), Ahmad Idham (right) and ST Muk (left) in the event. PAPAR: The opening of a 'Majestic Ballroom' of 10Star Cinema at Parklane City in Benoni, here, has created economic opportunities to boost socio-economic activities of the local communities, here, especially the entrepreneurs. Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali thanked 10Star Cinemas Sdn Bhd that manages the new ballroom in the cinema building for opening up economic avenues for the local community here. He said the local entrepreneurs here are fortunate for being given the chance to participate in the growing hospitality development in Parklane City as well as able to generate income for their services and products. 'I was informed that local vendors in Papar will be given priority to supply services such as catering, furniture rentals, and event decorations for functions held at the new Majestic Ballroom and surrounding facilities. 'Those interested are encouraged to register with 10Star Cinemas Sdn Bhd as official service providers and be part of their suppliers' panel for future events so as to ensure compliance with hygiene and safety standards. 'This commendable initiative is part of a broader effort to ensure that Papar's economic development is inclusive and benefits small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the area,' he said. Armizan who is also Member of Parliament for Papar said this when officiating the opening of the Majestic Ballroom at the top floor of the 10Star Cinemas building, here on Monday. Also present at the launch were WSG Group Managing Director Datuk Susan Wong Siew Guen, Chief Executive Officer of 10STAR Cinemas Sdn Bhd Onn Norshal Hamzah, representative of MAA Group ST Muk and Impak Maksima 2 film director Datuk Ahmad Idham. Armizan said the new ballroom accommodates the local community needs here because there is a limited number of function halls or ballroom in Papar especially when outside guests coming here to attend events. 'Actually Papar people are very lucky as it is one of the most well-equipped and aesthetically pleasing halls available for public use in the district here. 'Furthermore, this new facility offers a much-needed alternative venue for local social programs, including weddings and school events such as graduations and convocations, especially given its proximity and convenience. 'Hence, the Papar folks do not have to go to the State Capital to rent ballrooms or functions halls which is over 50km far from here,' he said. Armizan advised headmasters and principals of preschools and schools here to highly consider of organising their respective graduations and convocations at the new ballroom which is nearer and save the parents transportation costs, among others. Parklane City developer, WSG Group Managing Director Datuk Susan Wong Siew Guen said the Majestic Ballroom has a special design of providing a spacious ballroom and another small ballroom at the back. She said it can accommodate up to 40 tables or about 400 people suitable to organise wedding receptions, community events, graduations and social gathering events while the small hall can accommodate up to 15 tables for those who wish to organise private events and meetings. * Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel(s) for the latest news you don't want to miss. * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
