#SHOWBIZ: Diana Danielle: 'If I wanted a rich man, I would have one long ago'
KUALA LUMPUR: Actress and singer Diana Danielle has firmly defended her independence after a netizen suggested she should seek a wealthy partner.
The exchange occurred in the comments section of a TikTok post, where the individual advised Diana to "catch a rich man" to ensure her financial security.
Diana Danielle Danny Beeson, however, was quick to assert that she is capable of supporting herself without relying on a man's wealth.
"If you're looking for money, get a job," she retorted.
"If I wanted to catch a rich man, I would have done it a long time ago."
"Now," she continued, "I'm the one who's rich. And there are many men who depend on women."
The majority of netizens rallied behind Diana's stance, urging her to disregard the negative comment.
"No need to pay attention to comments like this. Just focus on surviving; you already know what's good and what's bad," one netizen commented.
Another added, "That's right, don't listen to such foul language."
"Not everyone wants to rely on someone's wealth; these days, many women are working," another netizen pointed out.
One comment offered a different perspective: "If she marries a rich man, what's wrong with that? God has already decided."
This exchange follows Diana's second divorce from actor Farid Kamil, which was finalised at the Federal Territory Syariah Court, here, on March 24.
The couple's first divorce, delivered via Google Meet, took place on Aug 10, 2023. However, they reconciled 21 days later.
Diana and Farid were married on Nov 3, 2012, and have two children: Muhammad, 12, and Nur Aurora, 10.

Fahmi: MCMC to call up TikTok over ‘PK Battle' trend, after concerned parents decry trend's wastefulness, expense
BUKIT MERTAJAM, July 1 — The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) will meet with TikTok's management to seek clarification following growing parental concerns over the popular PK Battle or Personal Knockout Battle trend among the app's young users. Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the ministry is taking the matter seriously, particularly regarding reports of children spending large sums of money on in-app gifts simply to participate in the trend. He said an official directive was issued yesterday morning, and the ministry expects TikTok representatives to respond soon, no later than this week. 'This issue has been reported by the media, and we are taking it seriously. Since TikTok has obtained its operating licence here, they need to come forward to provide an explanation and state what steps can be taken to resolve this problem,' he told a press conference after visiting the Kubang Semang National Information Dissemination Centre (NADI) here today. Also present were Communications Ministry secretary-general Datuk Mohamad Fauzi Md Isa and Information Department director-general Julina Johan. Fahmi also stressed that the government is committed to protecting minors from inappropriate content on social media platforms. 'That is why we have consistently said that children under 13 should not have accounts on TikTok, Instagram, or any other social media platform. They are highly impressionable and can easily be drawn into trends like PK Battle without understanding the consequences,' he said. On May 28, a non-governmental organisation, Pertubuhan Damai Revolusi Masyarakat, submitted a memorandum to Istana Negara urging royal intervention to ban the PK Battle feature in Malaysia. The group also called on the government to consider the request, arguing that the trend undermines social values and promotes cyberbullying and humiliation. On another development, Fahmi said that efforts to establish the Malaysian Media Council (MMM) are ongoing, though certain financial processes may take time. He said he had tasked Mohamad Fauzi with identifying the most effective mechanisms to ensure the smooth disbursement of funds to the council, even under the newly enforced law, MMM will also be able to source funding from any legal channel. 'I hope that within the next one to two months, we'll be able to hold at least a few preliminary meetings. However, within six months of its formation, the council's founding board must conduct a selection process to appoint the office bearers,' he said. According to Fahmi, the government has yet to hold detailed discussions on the matter so as to give the founding board space to assess several key issues. A formal dialogue may be held in the coming weeks, he said. The establishment of MMM was made possible after the Malaysian Media Council Bill was passed by the Dewan Rakyat on Feb 26 and the Dewan Negara on March 19, before it received the royal assent and subsequently gazetted. Fahmi announced the law's enforcement beginning June 14, in conjunction with the 2025 National Journalists' Day (HAWANA) celebrations, and described it as a landmark media reform that will significantly benefit journalists and media professionals across the country. — Bernama

Malaysia's haunted holidays
SO you want a holiday, huh? But not just any holiday. No. You don't want the usual makan-makan, tidur (sleeping at) hotel, selfie depan (in front of) the Petronas towers. You want something edgy, something spooky, something to make your ancestors raise their eyebrows and ask: 'Anak ni tak cukup kasih sayang ke (This child does not have enough love?)'. Well congrats, sayang, you have just booked yourself on a Dark Tourism Malaysia Tour – brought to you by poor life choices and haunted regrets. First pit stop: Penang War Museum. Yes, war museum. Apparently, walking through underground torture tunnels where people were once interrogated and executed is fun now. Makcik's knees are already shaking and I haven't even reached the first bunker. But you? You're there with your camera, TikTok filter and one brain cell shouting, 'Let's do the night tour!' Why not just tattoo 'Hantu (ghost), come get me' on your forehead?' Also, they say there are ghost sightings and screaming sounds. Of course, you think spirits have nowhere to go? That place is their last known address, okay? Ah, Kellie's Castle – where colonial dreams came to die and ghosts came to squat. Think of it as Scotland meets pontianak, with less whisky and more weird vibes. Let me tell you, only in Malaysia can you find a half-built Scottish castle in the middle of a Perak jungle and somehow people say: 'Wow! So romantic!' Romantic, my foot! The man who built it died before it was finished, probably because even the hantu told him, 'Tuan (Master), this is a bad idea.' Now you can walk through the empty halls and hear things whisper – could be the wind, regret or William Kellie-Smith still upset no one installed proper plumbing. Whichever way you spin it, Makcik says – don't go stripping down like you are in your own living room. The spirits here also got pride, okay? They may be dead but they are not blind! Batu Gajah Detention Centre? Aiyoh, don't get me started. Once a colonial detention facility – home to rebels, communists and anyone who looked at the British sideways. If those walls could talk, they would scream. Now? Half-forgotten and eerily quiet – great for Instagram if you like 'haunted chic'. Meanwhile, in the afterlife, one detainee's on a ghost walkie-talkie: 'Hello control, we've got teenagers doing TikTok transitions in solitary confinement. I got locked up for subversion, not viral content!' A lost, time-travelling tourist from the future shows up with GPS yelling: 'Siri, where's the nearest Starbucks?' And a ghost just facepalms and floats into the bushes. But anak, why you wanna go places like this? Is your life too peaceful? Is the air con in your house not spooky enough? Or is this just your way of saying: 'I want attention but make it supernatural'? Let's be honest – people love dark tourism not because we are historians but because we are nosy, bored and low-key masochists. We love being scared and watching horror films alone. We read crime novels at bedtime and some of us – yes, you – actually pay money to walk into abandoned places that smell like regret and mould. I swear, if Makcik could throw a slipper through Instagram, I would. Also, don't play-play with Malaysian hantu. Western ghosts? They float around looking sad in a wedding dress. Malaysian ghosts? Got backstory, purpose and attitude. You disturb them, they don't just whisper, 'boo'. They follow you home, finish your Milo, rearrange your furniture and sit on your chest at 3am while saying: 'Cakap, tak percaya tadi-kan?' So, please – if you visit: Don't mock, don't act brave, don't suddenly speak English like the ghost doesn't understand. Hantu pun bilingual, okay? Last, but not least, let's not forget the ethics. Dark tourism is not a playground. These places hold pain, history and suffering. You don't go to a war camp and say: 'OMG, aesthetic!' You go to reflect, to remember and to learn – not to pose like you are in a Zara ad, next to a torture cell. You don't get to turn someone else's pain into an Instagram reel with ghost-filter and hashtags like #hauntmewithyou. Takde adab langsung (No manners at all). Respect the space. Respect the stories. And no, don't sell pocong plushies in the gift shop. I don't care how 'cute' the marketing team thinks it is – Makcik bagi flying slipper terus. So... Should you go? Honestly? Yes. If you are ready – ready to learn, feel uncomfortable and ready to face history, colonialism and your own overconfidence – all while sweating in a haunted tunnel. But bring torchlight, proper shoes, some humility and minyak cap kapak – for reasons both spiritual and physical. And most importantly, anak: Don't simply say 'Takde apa pun...(There is nothing here....)' You say that and suddenly your phone battery drops from 90% to 2%. And you'll hear a voice say, 'Cakap lagi? (You want to repeat that?)' Next time you plan a trip, skip the beach, skip the malls and go where the air is still – where the walls remember, where your holiday photos don't smile but stare back. Now go. Explore. Learn. Suffer slightly. And when you come back, don't forget to mandi bunga (ritual flower bath) – standard operating procedure. Makcik out.
