#SHOWBIZ: 'Santan Berlada' actor Khairul Azhar dies at 70
KUALA LUMPUR: Actor, comedian and singer Khairul Azhar, best known for the popular 1980s sitcom Santan Berlada, passed away at his home in Taman Sri Andalas, Klang, at 10.37pm last night. He was 70. It is understood that the deceased was discovered unconscious in his car by his personal assistant. A medical team, contacted thereafter, confirmed Khairul's death. Beyond his acting and hosting career, Khairul was a prominent member of the Santan Berlada trio, alongside the late Ali Mamak and Accapan, with whom he also released a studio album. His passing marks the end of an era, as all three original members of the iconic trio have now departed. News of Khairul's demise was also shared by 1990s singer Anna Zanariah on Facebook, who penned a heartfelt tribute. "In 1997, when I was an artiste, I already knew him. The first time we met was on RTM for the HMI programme. "I was in the singing segment, and he was in the comedy segment. Suddenly, we were able to meet in the same organisation," she wrote. Anna added, "We continued to work together from 2000 to 2001 until he retired. Although retired, his contract was renewed for a few more years because the 'big boss' liked him." "We have so many memories together. He was always a reference point if I got an 'emcee job'. "Safe journey home, brother Khairul Azhar of Santan Berlada, my mentor is no more. "He left on a glorious Friday night. Paying that you'll be in heaven. God willing. April 1, 1955 - May 29, 2025. Al Fatihah," she concluded. Khairul was also known for his musical talent, serving as the drummer for the Klang Municipal Council (MPK) combo. His remains will be laid to rest at the Kampung Raja Uda Islamic Cemetery, Klang, after Friday prayers today. In addition to Santan Berlada, Khairul's extensive career included numerous roles in dramas and telefilms, as well as a memorable appearance in the film Mat Som alongside Imuda.

Perlis Incurs RM2.4 Million Loss From Coupon Parking Non-compliance
KANGAR, April 30 (Bernama) -- The Perlis government has incurred a loss of RM2.4 million from the coupon-based parking system, implemented by the Kangar Municipal Council (MPK) between 2022 and 2024, due to some users failing to comply with the system. Menteri Besar Mohd Shukri Ramli said the implementation of the smart parking application system in Perlis this year, with a trial period from May to mid-June, is a positive innovation for the state government and will benefit the people. 'The collections from this smart parking system will be returned to the people. I hope that the people of Perlis will accept this reform, as I believe we are not implementing anything that could harm them,' he said, at a press conference after chairing the state executive councillor meeting at the State Legislative Assembly Complex, here, today.

Perlis incurs RM2.4mil loss from coupon parking non-compliance
KANGAR: The Perlis government has incurred a loss of RM2.4mil from non-compliance with the coupon-based parking system, implemented by the Kangar Municipal Council (MPK) between 2022 and last year. Mentri Besar Mohd Shukri Ramli (pic) said the implementation of the smart parking application system in Perlis this year, with a trial period from May to mid-June, is a positive innovation for the state government and will benefit the people. "The collection from this smart parking system will be returned to the people. "I hope that the people of Perlis will accept this reform, as we are not implementing anything that could harm them,' he told a press conference after chairing the state executive councillor meeting at the State Legislative Assembly Complex here on Wednesday (April 30). Also present was MPK president Affendi Rajini Kanth. Shukri said the charges for using the smart parking system are minimal, at only 60 sen for the first hour. Parking is also free for the first 15 minutes, he added. He added that the smart parking system would be fully managed by an appointed private company, and the state government is expected to earn more than RM1mil annually through its use. Meanwhile, Affendi noted that, from January until now, MPK had not charged any fees to users for parking, resulting in lost revenue of about RM600,000, before the full implementation of the smart application system in mid-June. – Bernama
