Tudung supplier sues actress Fazura, brother over RM4.65mil debt
PETALING JAYA : A tudung supplier is suing actress Nur Fazura Sharifuddin and her brother, Ahmad Faiz, for allegedly failing to pay RM4.65 million owed for tudung shipments.
According to the statement of claim, the plaintiff, Obor Holding Sdn Bhd, claims Pink Fate Sdn Bhd, a company owned by Fazura and Faiz, has paid only RM2,680,167.90 for 33 tudung shipments worth a total of RM7,330,197.04.
Fazura, Faiz and Pink Fate are listed as defendants, as well as Fazfit Sdn Bhd, a company owned by the siblings and in which Faiz is a director.
Besides being a shareholder in Pink Fate, Fazura was also a director in the company with her brother until her resignation from the position on Jan 13 this year.
'(Fazura's) resignation from (Pink Fate), demonstrating an apparent lack of concern for the management of (Pink Fate), suggests (Pink Fate) may face liquidation to enable the other defendants to evade liabilities,' read the statement of claim.
Obor Holding claims its representatives first met Faiz in early 2022 at the Fazfit office in Kota Damansara, during which the latter expressed interest in engaging the plaintiff to fulfil a high-volume order for tudungs.
'During the meeting, Fazura was presented by Faiz as his sister who is also a prominent Malaysian celebrity, widely recognised for her established and successful business ventures under her renowned Fazura brand.
'Fazura's reputation as a public figure and entrepreneur was emphasised, portraying her as an influential and trusted individual in the business industry.
'They highlighted her celebrity status as a cornerstone of their financial strength and success, further asserting that their ventures were supported by collaborative projects with government authorities and other prominent business partners,' read the statement of claim.
Utusan Malaysia quoted Obor Holding director Lim Boon Hai as saying his company filed their suit last month after failing to get a satisfactory response from the defendants.
'We have found it hard to claim the money from them since the end of 2023.
'Since the suit was filed, we have received no response from their companies until now. The last time we communicated with Fazura and the company management was at the end of 2024.
'It seems they have no intention of resolving this issue,' he said.
Lim claimed Fazura had given him empty promises, as well as a cheque that bounced in September last year.
'Our company is in dire financial straits as a result of this, forcing us to take these steps to resolve the matter,' he said.

#SHOWBIZ: Alif Satar: Bullying destroys one's future forever
KUALA LUMPUR: Popular Malaysian singer, actor, and television host Alif Satar has expressed his shock and sorrow over the recent death of a schoolgirl, allegedly due to bullying at a boarding school. Alif, 35, emphasised that the culture of bullying among students is not something to be proud of, but rather "a heinous crime against humanity that destroys the future of the perpetrators." "I just read about a boarding schoolgirl who died a brutal death as a result of bullying," he posted on the Threads application. "I just don't know what has got into the minds of many kids now, that thugs are great and people will respect them." Recalling a past interview with a convicted bully, Alif highlighted that such actions only serve to ruin a person's future. "Believe me, there is nothing great and no one respects you when you are in prison," he said. Many online users echoed Alif's sentiments, with some suggesting that the influence of films contributes significantly to bullying among students. "All local films about school gangsters ignore the lesson at the end of the story but focus more on the violence of the fight scenes," one netizen commented. The tragic incident Alif referred to involved student Zara Qairina, who reportedly died on July 17 after falling from the third floor of a school building in Sabah, believed to be a victim of bullying.

When something is good for me, I want to protect it. That's my instinct. I don't want to hide or lie or anything like that,' the son of actors Rajesh Khattar and Neelima Azeem reportedly said. At the same time, the 29-year-old actor also acknowledged that it's difficult to prevent people from taking photos when he's out with his partner. 'I won't stop living my life.

Local authorities issue 14,834 compounds against foreign-owned businesses
KUALA LUMPUR: Local authorities have issued 14,834 compounds against business premises for offences, including illegal licence transfers to foreigners, since 2023, Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming said. He added that 2,880 premises were sealed, and 23 business licences revoked. 'The Ministry and PBTs have never allowed foreign nationals to apply for or own hawker licences, grocery stores, eateries, or car workshops,' Nga stressed. Speaking in Parliament, he emphasised that hiring foreigners under hawker licences is prohibited, as the government prioritises Malaysian traders. The enforcement aligns with existing policies like the Hawkers By-Laws, which restrict business licence applications to citizens. Nga confirmed that PBTs conduct regular inspections, especially in areas with high foreigner presence, and confiscate goods from unlicensed foreign traders. Licences are revoked for misuse, with stricter application conditions imposed to curb foreign-owned businesses. Responding to concerns about Malaysians acting as proxies for foreign spouses, Nga urged citizens to uphold the Rukun Negara principles. 'Submit evidence to the ministry for action,' he said. - Bernama
