Bouquet sparks Ruhainies' courtship curiosity
Compiled by MARTIN CARVALHO, C. ARUNO and R. ARAVINTHAN ACTRESS Ruhainies (pic) recently pondered whether a delegation would be sent to court her after she received a bouquet of flowers from an unknown 'admirer', Kosmo! reported. The 32-year-old, whose real name is Farehah Zainul Ilyas, uploaded a photograph of herself with the blooms on TikTok. In the post, the Hikayat Pak Belalang star questioned who the 'mysterious admirer' was. It drew mixed reactions from TikTok users. One questioned whether Ruhainies already knew the identity of the sender but did not want to make a fuss, as it could be actor Aliff Aziz, 34. Another user suggested that the secret admirer might have a hidden motive, while another sarcastically remarked that one could only hope the sender was not someone else's husband. Ruhainies was previously embroiled in a controversy involving Aliff, who was then married to singer Bella Astillah, 31. The couple, who have two children, have since divorced. In February, Ruhainies and Aliff pleaded guilty to a charge of khalwat at the Syariah High Court of the Federal Territories and were fined RM3,000 each. > It is a nine-month wait for the Rafflesia to bloom, and the flower lasts only two or three days. However, for Ishak Samad, 41, from Kuala Berang, Terengganu, it is well worth the wait, Harian Metro reported. He said the discovery of the species of the world's single largest individual flower could become a tourist attraction for the Sungai Berua Orang Asli village, where he lives. There are at least seven such flowers located near Sungai Chomor near the village, which is accessible by foot via a jungle trail, he said. Ishak said flower lovers and even local Orang Asli would not mind trekking through the jungle to view the Rafflesia's huge petals before they withered.
