#SHOWBIZ: Mimifly dedicates 'Sahabat' to 'loving big brother' Jojo
KUALA LUMPUR: Singer Mimifly, whose real name is Mimi Norhisham, has released a heartfelt tribute to her "loving big brother, sifu, and soul mate," Jojo Hasan Baias, who passed away from a heart ailment on Jan 26. Titled Sahabat, Mimi's heartfelt tribute to Jojo premiered as a music video at 11.11am today on her official YouTube channel. Sahabat, co-composed by Mimi and Bo Curley with lyrics by Mimi, serves as a deeply personal farewell to her dear friend and fellow One Nation Emcees member. In a statement released today, Mimi shared: "Our friendship went beyond music — it was built on trust, loyalty, and shared dreams. Sahabat captures that bond in both melody and words, and I've poured all my emotions into the lyrics as a message of gratitude, remembrance, and love." The music video brings these emotions to life through a retro-inspired visual concept, thoughtfully crafted with Mimi's own creative input. "The nostalgic feel, vintage styling, and expressive cinematography were carefully planned to reflect the soul of the song," she explained. Mimi has once again collaborated with Konda Kondi Studio, a production team that she feels shares a "similar wavelength, creative synergy, and commitment to storytelling with heart." Sahabat has also been chosen as the official end-credit song for the film Mencari Ramlee, which premieres on June 19. "I hope that this music video will resonate with fans and new audiences alike — serving as both a tribute to a beloved friend and a reminder of how music preserves the people and memories we carry in our hearts." Mimi will also donate proceeds from the song to Jojo's widow, Siti Rohayu Saharudin, whom she regards as family. "Thank you, Jojo, for the laughter, the stages we shared, and the joy you brought to my life from the beginning," Mimi expressed. "One Nation Emcees was not just a group; we were family."

Ernie Zakri teams up with Anggi Marito for ‘Kisah Penuh Kecewa' in bid to break into Indonesian market
KUALA LUMPUR, June 5 — Talented Malaysian singer Ernie Zakri is penetrating the Indonesian music market through a collaboration with promising young Indonesian singer Anggi Marito in a duet titled 'Kisah Penuh Kecewa'. The song marks the first collaboration in Ernie's upcoming album 'Sahabat', featuring collaborations between Ernie and Malaysian and Indonesian singers. According to Ernie, the choice of Anggi as her duet partner was based on the recommendation of the latter's record label in Indonesia. Ernie said she did not hesitate to accept it, believing in the potential of the 'Tak Segampang Itu' singer. 'Anggi is my first featured artiste in this project ('Sahabat'). When Universal Music Indonesia suggested Anggi, I immediately agreed because I knew it was a big opportunity to widen my reach. 'Besides that, Anggi is a very talented singer with a unique vocal strength. She is also technically skilled,' she told reporters after the song's launch yesterday. Ernie also said the duet's production process was different from the norm as it began with a special workshop involving the singers, lyricists and composers from both countries to collectively create the song. 'Usually, over there, we start with a workshop. It means we gather everyone involved and discuss the theme, melody and other elements. 'That's typically how the process goes. From there, Anggi and I also contributed ideas to the creation of the song. We completed it in just two to three hours,' she said. Meanwhile, Anggi described the experience of working with Ernie as fun and easy even though it was their first time meeting in person. 'Our chemistry developed quickly. We shared a lot of stories, including about life and children, so the connection formed naturally,' said the singer from Tarutung, north Sumatra. It was reported previously that Ernie's new album 'Sahabat', which is expected to be released later this year, will consist of 10 duet tracks. Among the singers reportedly collaborating with Ernie on the album are Dayang Nurfaizah, Amir Masdi, Andi Rianto and Ronny Parulian. Asked if she was also collaborating with Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza, Ernie replied: 'I'm praying for a long career so I'll have the chance to duet with great singers like Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza. I would not say no to including a duet with her. 'But everything is still in the planning stage. In fact, more artistes have been added to the 'Sahabat' album, and we'll reveal soon whether Datuk Seri Siti will be part of it or not.' — Bernama

Sahabat is seen near the reptile enjoying his beverage. However, he soon starts teasing the snake as it lunges to bite him. At times, Sahabat tries to touch the snake's mouth and, in another instance, pulls its tail. While he smiles, the snake looks disturbed by the teasing. While the internet praised how "cute" the king cobra looked, it wasn't happy with how the reptile was getting teased. A comment read, "Cobra: Bro, take me seriously, I am king-cobra." A person said, "How did you tie that in the first place?" "Cute and funny at the same time," an Instagram user said. A post shared by SAHABAT ALAM (@sahabatalamreal) "When you play with Pookie and suddenly they get angry," commented another person. Another comment read, "You have to have a lot of reflexes to be able to dodge this beauty." A section of the people didn't like the cobra getting teased. A comment read, "Let it go if the insult is over." A person wrote, "It's not a funny video; you are literally torturing the cobra." Another Instagram user said, "It's all fun and games until you get bit. Then you're fighting for your life in a hospital." Another person commented, "Now I understand why the population of women is more." A social media user said, "It looks cute, but I'm sure God would have given it a cover if it needed. Let go of the snake. How would you feel if someone did it to you?" asked another person. Many videos emerge time and again of humans teasing and torturing animals, as well as reptiles. Recently, a video shared on Instagram by Mike Holston showed a man kissing a massive king cobra on its head.

It is noted that Ernie has already collaborated with Indonesia's Ade Govinda through the hit songs, "Hal Hebat" and "Masing Masing".
