#SHOWBIZ: Rockology Concert Tour 2025 in JB going on as planned
In a statement released today, Datuk Ahmad Azhar Othman, also known as Awie, who is both the concert producer and a performer, addressed recent social media rumours suggesting the concert's cancellation.
"We deny such claims," he said.
"Preparations are progressing smoothly, with final technical and security arrangements currently underway."
Awie added, "I believe many fans are eagerly looking forward to reliving the rock spirit and reviving the nostalgic vibe of the 1980s and 1990s with us in Johor. Regardless, we will rock EduCity as promised. God willing... Don't believe the baseless talk. See you all at Rockology on July 5, and bring your rock spirit, and let's sing together."
The concert, to be held at the EduCity Sports Complex in Iskandar Puteri, promises an exclusive performance featuring two legendary names in Malaysian rock history: Awie and Search (Kid Din).
They will unite on stage to electrify the southern region of the country.
Datuk Eddy, Director of concert organiser RPM Events, commented, "Rockology is more than just a concert; it's a movement to reignite the true spirit of rock. We are committed to delivering an extraordinary concert experience and deeply appreciate the continued trust and support from fans and sponsors alike."

#SHOWBIZ: Umie Aida fined over RM1k by New Zealand authorities for undeclared apple
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian actress Datin Seri Umie Aida, 51, whose full name is Umi Khalsum Rahmad Ali, was recently fined NZD400 (approximately RM1,024) by Biosecurity New Zealand after an undeclared apple was discovered in her handbag upon her arrival at Auckland Airport. The incident, which Umie Aida shared on Instagram Threads, occurred when a scanner at immigration detected the fruit. The actress admitted that the oversight was due to her own carelessness and viewed it as a valuable lesson. "I did not bring food to New Zealand because I wanted to avoid problems like this," she explained in a recent video posted to her social media. "But, while I was at MAS Golden Lounge at KLIA, I took the apple intending to eat it on board the flight." She further elaborated, "However, I fell asleep and forgot about the apple. When I arrived in New Zealand, and when the officers found it, I was immediately imposed a fine." Umie Aida emphasised the importance for all travellers to be mindful of the immigration regulations of the countries they visit. Umie Aida has been in New Zealand since July 1 to film a new drama series, where she stars alongside Nora Danish, Datuk Remy Ishak, and Fattah Amin.

Who needs a lavish wedding feast when there is Ayam Gepuk?
DOES a wedding ceremony always have to be huge and lavish? Anything small, or budget friendly should get the relatives' tongues wagging. In a world where people often compete with each other in terms of materialism, weddings have become little more than events to show off one's wealth. But for a brave couple, love is all that matters and that is exactly that. Instead of a grand feast capable of making holes in one's wallet, the couple decided on a simple meal of Ayam Gepuk at Ayam Gepuk Ori Selayang. This article is not an advertisement, but a statement that weddings could be something as simple as a plate of rice with fried chicken. After all, isn't a wedding about the union of two people? Aku rasa macamnilah nanti kahwin. Buat kenduri makan ayam gepuk je. Settle takyah pening kepala 😭 — kamaghul deghaman (@kamaghul) July 4, 2025 And our fellow netizens who witnessed the video too have nothing but praises for the couple. Some of them commented that it was good budgeting while others hoped this would not cause problems in the future. But why Ayam Gepuk? Why not Nasi Lemak? Or perhaps Laksa. There are countless delicious meals out there where the Malaysian gastronomic landscape is being considered. First off, Ayam Gepuk came from Indonesia, so expect some angry Indonesian critics to come knocking at your door if you ever claimed Ayam Gepuk as Malaysian. At first glance, the dish may appear ordinary, but what makes it truly exceptional is the sambal, which takes centre stage in this culinary experience. The sambal used for ayam gepuk is typically known as sambal geprek or sambal gesek. It is made from bird's eye chillies, garlic, peanuts, sugar, salt, and occasionally a dash of seasoning. Cashew nuts may also be added sometimes. Sounds delicious, and perhaps that was what prompted the couple to treat all their guests with the dish. On another note, many people may assume that ayam geprek, ayam penyet, and ayam gepuk were the same dish, as their preparation methods are quite similar. All three dishes share a feature, a fried chicken that is pounded in a mortar and topped with sambal. But there are subtle differences. —July 4, 2025 Main image: @kamaghul (X)
