‘Like a robot': Syed Saddiq laughs off Kaamatan dance struggle with Bella Astillah (VIDEO)
KUALA LUMPUR, May 31 — Muar MP Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman had social media in stitches after a video of him dancing with singer-actress Bella Astillah during the Kaamatan Festival made the rounds online. Clad in traditional Sabahan attire, Syed Saddiq gamely attempted local dance steps in a clip shared on social media. But it was his stiff, robotic moves that stole the spotlight — and sparked light-hearted teasing from netizens, including the MP himself. 'Not sure whether to laugh or cry watching the video again. I think I'll just stick to Parliament,' he wrote on platform X. According to him, filming took hours as he struggled to loosen up. 'From afternoon till night. Had to keep reshooting because I was so stiff — like a robot. 'Thankfully, Bella was there. That helped ease the awkwardness,' he said. Syed Saddiq also took the opportunity to send festive greetings: 'This is Malaysia. Happy Kaamatan and Gawai to all.' Sabahans celebrated the Kaamatan Festival on May 30 and 31, while Sarawakians observe Gawai Day on June 1 and 2. Bella later shared on Instagram that the dance was a first for both of them. 'Our first dance collab! Not perfect, but definitely a lot of fun. What a transition – from daylight to night. 'Thank you, Syed Saddiq. I truly appreciate your courage and willingness to try something new. That's what made it special,' she said.

DEAR CAROLINE: My friend is tight with money, notoriously late, always asks for favours but never returns them, and exaggerates being ill. Should I give up on her?
Q I have always had a difficult relationship with a friend who now seems to be seriously ill. However, she has claimed to be ill before so often and I can't help feeling that this was exaggerated. On one occasion, she said she had had a serious fall and arrived at our pilates class on crutches – but when she saw someone she wanted to talk to she walked across the room without them. We became friends through our husbands more than 25 years ago. We had similar interests, got on well and took up dance and pilates together. However, after a while I noticed she was competitive. She has alienated several people through being tight with money and notoriously late. Her husband left her many years ago.
