Amy Search Denies Verbally Assaulting Shila Amzah; Files Police Report Against Singer
Singer Shila Amzah recently alleged that veteran rock icon Amy Search verbally assaulted her during a concert rehearsal. She claimed the incident was sparked by a social media post, and added that his wife had been observing her from a distance with a piercing stare and crossed arms. 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.

Amy Search files counter report denying Shila Amzah's assault claim at KL rehearsal
PETALING JAYA, July 16 — Veteran rocker Amy Search has filed a police report denying claims he attacked singer Shila Amzah during a concert rehearsal at Merdeka Stadium in Kuala Lumpur. Berita Harian reported that Shah Alam police chief ACP Iqbal Ibrahim confirmed receiving the report last night, describing it as a 'counter report' rejecting Shila's allegations. 'Yes, a report was lodged, but it was more of a counter report and a denial. The case has been referred to the Dang Wangi district police headquarters,' he was quoted as saying by Berita Harian. Earlier, Harian Metro reported that Amy, whose real name is Suhaimi Abdul Rahman, had given his statement at the Shah Alam police headquarters. The move follows Shila's accusation that Amy had scolded her during the rehearsal last Thursday. Kuala Lumpur deputy police chief Datuk Usuf Jan Mohamad previously confirmed that an investigation paper had been opened into Shila's complaint of criminal intimidation. Shila, full name Nurshahila Amir Amzah, alleged on Instagram that she was 'openly attacked' in front of crew members during the session. Several veteran and popular artistes are set to perform at the upcoming concert.

Shila Amzah confirms Amy Search behind alleged altercation, says may hire bodyguard if working with rock star again in future
KUALA LUMPUR, July 14 — Shila Amzah has confirmed that the 'legendary' male singer who allegedly verbally attacked her during a concert rehearsal last week is rock star Datuk Amy Search. The Star reported that the 34-year-old singer made the revelation during a media interview at an event in Shah Alam yesterday, without naming him directly. 'In the 17 years I've known him in the industry, he's never been like this,' she shared in an Instagram Story. 'I'm sorry I couldn't name him openly with all the cameras in front of me last night – it made the situation worse.'. The incident occurred on Thursday during a rehearsal where Shila said she was unexpectedly scolded, prompting her to file a police report and share her experience on Instagram. Police have since recorded a statement from Amy, 66, with mStar reporting that the outburst stemmed from alleged interference by Shila in his family issues. Shila, however, denied being involved in any conflict between Amy's wife, Datin Nourish Hassan, and daughter, Nabila Huda, calling the accusations baseless. Shila explained her support for Nabila was a gesture of empathy and not interference in family affairs. Yesterday, Shila said she is open to reconciliation with Amy if he demonstrates a positive change in behaviour. 'To be honest, I'm in a difficult place [to make peace]... I just want to see a change [from Amy]. If there's a shift in attitude, then reconciliation can happen,' she was quoted saying by mStar. She added that there has been no serious discussion between them since the incident, though she is not ruling out working together again. 'I might hire a bodyguard if I have to work with him again... we all need to know how to protect ourselves,' she added. Last week, the police said they have opened an investigation paper following a report lodged by Shila, who claimed she was assaulted by a popular singer yesterday. Kuala Lumpur deputy police chief Datuk Mohamed Usuf Jan Mohamad said statements from two individuals have been recorded to assist in the investigation.

Nicholas Saputra surprise, Siti Nurhaliza and Amy Search spotted in crowd as Melly Goeslaw dazzles at third Malaysia concert
KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 — Indonesian singer Melly Goeslaw's third concert in Malaysia in three years proved to be yet another resounding success. Some 6,000 fans turned up to watch her perform at her recent concert 'Ada Apa Dengan Melly...? Prom Nite' at Axiata Arena Bukit Jalil here. They were there not just to watch Melly perform but to relive the magical moments of their youth through her songs which are synonymous with Indonesian film soundtracks. Known as Indonesia's Lady Gaga due to her unique fashion sense, Melly proved that music is more than mere entertainment — it is a language of emotion that unites two nations. Melly's opening number was 'Ku Bahagia', after which she took the audience on a journey through time, touching on themes of adolescence, first love and unrequited love. 'I'm grateful for this special opportunity and for being accepted by the Malaysian audience. Thank you for still listening to and feeling my music. Even though we speak different languages, we are united through the heart,' she said. As a tribute to her singer friends in Malaysia, Melly also performed a medley of iconic local songs such as 'Janji Manismu' (by Datuk Aishah), 'Aku Cinta Padamu' (Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza) and 'Isabella' (Search), creating a deeply meaningful moment. In a touching display of support, Siti Nurhaliza and Datuk Amy Search, who were both seated among the audience, rose to their feet and sang along with Melly.

In addition to melancholic ballads, Melly energised the crowd with upbeat numbers like 'Pencinta Wanita', 'Hey Ladies' and 'Tak Tahan Lagi', with the performance further enlivened by a special collaboration with rising Indonesian singer Dhinda Ghania. Popular Malaysian singer Aina Abdul also captivated the audience with her powerful solo performance of 'Cinta'. Throughout the two-and-a-half-hour concert, Melly, who is also a composer, appeared in four avant-garde outfits, each showcasing the bold and unique elements synonymous with the Indonesian diva. Towards the end of the concert, Melly shared a heartfelt wish: 'Allow me to keep coming here (to Malaysia) every year.' The concert was a fitting complement to the two concerts she had held in Malaysia previously — 'Ada Apa Dengan Melly (Back To School)' in 2023 and 'Ada Apa Dengan Melly & Friends (Malam Graduasi)' in 2024. — Bernama
