#SHOWBIZ: Saiful Apek: I was not arrested, police came to break up fight
KUALA LUMPUR: Comedian Saiful Apek has clarified that a viral photo depicting him with police officers was not an arrest, but rather the result of police intervention to quell an argument between him and another individual. The 56-year-old Scenario member explained that the confrontation was triggered by the other person's disparaging remarks about his film, 6 Jilake, and its director, Aziz M. Osman. "The person in the photo is indeed me, but the situation was not an arrest. The police were resolving a misunderstanding," Saiful Apek told BH Online. "It may have appeared as if I was fighting, but I was not." "My patience was tested when the individual insulted Abang Aziz and called the film 6 Jilake 'rubbish'. "I could have tolerated insults directed at me, but this involved someone I consider a 'sifu'," he added. Apek revealed that the incident occurred at a recent open house event hosted by the Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Razarudin Husain, in Cheras. "During the Inspector-General of Police's open house, this unknown individual provoked me with derogatory comments about 6 Jilake, which caused me to lose my composure," Apek said. "I initially walked away to avoid causing a scene. However, the individual persisted, following me to the car park, where the police eventually intervened to separate us." The incident surfaced on Tuesday when a portal reported the sighting of a comedian resembling Saiful Apek, wearing a pink shirt, being escorted by two police officers. The location and cause of the incident were not immediately known. Apek has since apologised to his family and friends who were affected by the controversy. "I hope this statement clarifies the situation. I urge everyone to remain calm, especially my family and close friends who were alarmed by the reports of my arrest. "My biggest concern was the reaction of my fellow Scenario members, particularly Azlee Jaafar, who, as you know, has a heart condition," he said.

#SHOWBIZ: Saiful Apek: I was arrested due to a fight
KUALA LUMPUR: Popular comedian Saiful Apek has confirmed his identity as the individual depicted in a viral video of a recent police arrest. "I can confirm that it is indeed my photo. I know many are now wondering about the circumstances of my arrest," Saiful told BH Online. "What I can say at this time is that it stemmed from an altercation. That's all I'm prepared to reveal for now. I will provide a full explanation later," he added. The incident, which surfaced yesterday, involved a portal report of a comedian resembling Saiful Apek, clad in a pink shirt, being detained by two police officers. The location and specific reasons for the arrest were initially unclear. Saiful, a member of the renowned comedy troupe Scenario, expressed his regret over how quickly sensationalised news can spread. "It's a familiar refrain: good deeds often go unnoticed, while missteps are amplified, and in the absence of information, speculation runs rampant," he said. "I urge everyone to refrain from spreading unverified information until you hear the full story directly from the source," said the 56-year-old artiste, whose real name is Mohd Saiful Azam Mohamed Yusoff. "Avoid jumping to conclusions, regardless of where your sympathies lie." "Rest assured, I will provide a comprehensive explanation in due course. In the meantime, I ask for your prayers and refrain from sharing unconfirmed reports," he said. This incident follows closely on the heels of another recent controversy involving a Scenario member. In March, Yassin Yahya was reportedly detained by Saudi Arabian authorities at Jeddah Airport while performing Umrah with friends. The comedian is believed to be serving a six-month prison sentence, following his conviction in November of last year, on suspicion of carrying prohibited substances.

Mohamed Elkholy: Innovation and Technology Are Core Pillars of Egypt's Real Estate Futur
Mohamed Elkholy, group senior marketing director at Akam Developments, emphasized that innovation and the integration of advanced technologies have become essential pillars in the real estate development sector. This direction aligns with Egypt's national vision for establishing smart, sustainable projects that adhere to the highest global standards, aiming to create eco-friendly buildings that enhance well-being and promote happiness. Speaking during a panel discussion titled 'Innovation and Opportunities in Real Estate Development' at the 10th edition of the She Can Conference, Elkholy stressed that the future of real estate lies in adopting technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and sustainable smart systems. He pointed out that the Egyptian government has already set a strong precedent through initiatives like the New Administrative Capital, where strict building regulations foster both sustainability and smart infrastructure. 'Innovation is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity,' said Elkholy. 'The global transition toward technology-driven real estate is transforming the market, and Egypt is actively keeping pace with this trend.' The panel was moderated by Architect Lilly Ghorab, Business Development Manager at Mohamed Talaat Architects, and featured Omar El-Tayebi, CEO of TLD – The Land Developers, alongside Eng. Rasha El-Kady, Head of Tourism at the Egyptian Junior Business Association and one of the Middle East's Top 30 Creative Thinkers. Elkholy noted that since entering the Egyptian market, Akam Developments has remained committed to creating environmentally responsible, human-centric communities that prioritize quality of life and well-being. He explained that the company's innovation model is data- and research-driven, with every project preceded by comprehensive customer needs assessments conducted by its dedicated research division. He cited Scenario, the company's first residential project, as a prime example of user-focused innovation. Prior to its launch, Akam conducted a detailed study involving 4,500 Egyptian women to better understand their daily struggles—particularly the challenge of balancing work, household duties, and self-care. 'We found that many women—especially working mothers—are overburdened, despite being the cornerstone of the family,' Elkholy explained. 'This insight led us to design Egypt's first residential compound specifically tailored to support women's everyday needs.' Among Scenario's unique features is a centralized kitchen facility—the first of its kind in Egypt—offering customized meal preparation to reduce the daily cooking load for residents. The compound also includes secure children's play areas connected to fitness centers, enabling mothers to work out while keeping an eye on their kids. Elkholy concluded by reaffirming Akam's mission to serve both people and the planet, designing every development to improve community well-being, environmental sustainability, and long-term value. In his closing remarks, he shared advice with young entrepreneurs and She Can participants, encouraging them to pursue their ambitions guided by four core principles: patience, commitment, excellence in performance, and continuous learning. He emphasized the importance of being patient through early career challenges, maintaining discipline and time management, striving for excellence through ongoing personal development, and embracing lifelong learning to improve practical skills and unlock greater opportunities in the job market. Finally, he urged attendees to hold steadfast faith in God's wisdom and timing, trusting that what is meant for them will always lead to goodness and serve their best interests in the long run. تم نسخ الرابط
