'Super handsome and an amazing runner' - Malaysian runner bumps into Syed Saddiq running, leaves her starstruck
Muar MP Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman is no stranger to the spotlight—thanks in part to his impressive running achievements and frequent participation in sporting events. Most recently, his athleticism caught the attention of a fellow Malaysian runner during her morning jog today (April 28) at Perdana Botanical Gardens. Louise Lau shared her amusing encounter on Threads, recounting how she was both starstruck and swiftly outpaced by the politician. 'Bumped into Syed Saddiq during today's morning run — super handsome and an amazing runner! 'I thought I could keep up and use him as my pacer, but dang, I lasted 0.5 seconds and failed spectacularly, hahaha,' she wrote. In the comments, she added that he was so quick, she saw him one moment—and the next, not even his shadow was in sight. Her post has since gone viral, with many netizens chiming in to praise both his running prowess and charm. 'He's really strong when it comes to running. I once joined an ultramarathon where he also participated—he was way ahead, running super fast,' commented user _evansay. Others couldn't help but gush over the unexpected run-in. 'The way he noticed you ahahaha—if I were you, I would've fainted on the spot!' wrote teachersyeri. 'Aduhh, so handsome lahhh!' added another. What a lucky encounter indeed!

Court sets June 25 for verdict on Syed Saddiq's appeal against graft conviction
KUALA LUMPUR, April 24 — Muar MP Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman will find out on June 25 whether he succeeds in overturning his conviction and sentence for criminal breach of trust (CBT), misappropriation of property, and money laundering. The Court of Appeal fixed the date during case management today, according to deputy public prosecutor Datuk Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin. The former youth and sports minister, 33, was sentenced in November 2023 to seven years' jail, two strokes of the rotan, and a RM10 million fine after being found guilty on four charges linked to his time as Bersatu Youth chief. Among the charges: abetting CBT involving RM1 million from Bersatu Youth (Armada) funds, misusing RM120,000 from an Armada Bumi Bersatu Enterprise account, and laundering RM100,000 in illicit proceeds. The appeal was heard by a three-judge panel led by Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim, with both sides presenting submissions over three days. If the appeal is allowed, Syed Saddiq will walk free — though prosecutors can still take the case to the Federal Court. If the appeal is dismissed, the Federal Court remains his final legal recourse.
