#SHOWBIZ: Syed Saddiq, Bella friendship shines as MP gets eye surgery
KUALA LUMPUR: Muar Member of Parliament, Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, is once again in the spotlight after undergoing LASIK treatment for his vision problems.
In an Instagram post shared earlier today by his close friend Bella Astillah, the 32-year-old politician was seen preparing for the procedure, dressed in a surgical gown and hair cap.
In the caption, Bella, 31, wrote: "Someone's about to start seeing life in 4K, so goodbye glasses!"
The post quickly garnered significant attention from netizens, who flooded the comment section with words of encouragement and prayers.
It received nearly 60,000 likes and over 800 comments.
Many expressed their anticipation for the former Minister of Youth and Sports' new look without glasses.
Among the comments, one user wrote: "The first person YB will see after the LASIK procedure must be Bella, right?"
Another added: "How lucky for YB, even when going for LASIK treatment, he's accompanied by 'someone'."
The two personalities continue to capture public interest and have been affectionately dubbed "BASS" by netizens.
Their friendship developed after they collaborated as ambassadors for a local clothing brand.
Despite their frequent public appearances together, neither Syed Saddiq nor Bella has confirmed the nature of their relationship.
Bella was previously married to actor Aliff Aziz.
They divorced for the second time on June 13 of last year and share two children: Ayden, 8, and Ara Adreanna, 5.
