‘The company is one thing, I'm another,' says Fazura amid RM4.65m lawsuit
Despite being repeatedly pressed by the claimant as well as by netizens on social media to address the issue, the celebrity has remained silent, going about her daily life, including promoting her headscarves on social media.
Speaking to reporters at a press conference after launching the music video of her latest single Luar Biasa here last night, Fazura, 41, said the lawsuit against her company is a confidential matter and has been handed over to her lawyers for further action. Fazura, who is also a singer and television host, said she preferred not to comment further as it involves two separate entities.
'Honestly, there's nothing I can explain because we have to understand that I, Fazura, and the company are two different entities. I can't comment on company matters as that is beyond my scope as an individual. The company is the company, and Fazura is me personally, that's the distinction.
'So really, I can't say much about the company or whatever is going on. I've left all my company-related matters to my lawyers to take action,' she said.
Fazura made these remarks when asked by reporters to comment on the RM4.65 million lawsuit filed by a headscarf supplier against her company Pink Fate Sdn Bhd.
Admitting that she is affected by the controversy, the Pisau Cukur star said such issues are among the challenges any entrepreneur must face.
'What haven't I gone through in the past eight months? Of course, I've been affected. I'm not someone without feelings but as an entrepreneur, I understand this is normal. I don't think it's necessary to explain, because outsiders may not understand and could twist the facts,' she said.
'I know the business I'm running isn't a small one and I'm confident all entrepreneurs out there will understand the challenges that come with being in the business world,' she added.
According to media reports early last month, headscarf manufacturer Obor Holding Sdn Bhd is taking legal action against Pink Fate for allegedly owing the company RM4.65 million. Obor Holding claimed that Pink Fate had only paid RM2.68 million out of the total RM7.3 million value of headscarves supplied since June 2022. — Bernama

How former newsreader Zehra Zambri finds peace, purpose in comeback as traditional singer
KUALA LUMPUR, July 27 — While many local singers prefer modern music trends, Zehra Zambri remains committed to championing and elevating traditional Malaysian rhythms through a contemporary approach to stay relevant with today's audience. The former newsreader said singing is not just a passion but an integral part of her identity, which she is determined to strengthen after a long hiatus from the entertainment industry. 'Many (supporters) told me to continue with traditional music because that's my strength. I'm also very passionate about this genre. Maybe, I can give it a contemporary touch in line with the times,' she told Bernama recently. Zehra, who recently made a comeback by participating in the 11th season of Astro reality show 'Gegar Vaganza', acknowledged that there are still fans and organisers who value her talent and identity as a singer rooted in traditional music. 'I feel that among the many artistes championing traditional music, my name is still mentioned. That's truly an honour for me,' said Zehra, who is currently planning the release of her latest single. The 'Semalakama' singer said she is aiming to collaborate with talented young composers like Ikhwan Fatanna and Hael Husaini, believing that their fresh musical sensibilities could breathe new life into traditional Malaysian rhythms. 'If the opportunity arises and they're open to having me interpret their work, why not?' she said. Zehra, who was a host on 'Selamat Pagi Malaysia' (RTM) for over two years, said she does not regret giving up her job as it has brought her peace and more freedom to focus on both her family and personal passions. 'In the past, it was stressful being tied to a hectic newsroom job. Now that I'm doing something I love, it doesn't feel like work. In fact, I'm earning more than I did before,' she said. Zehra also said she would not rule out returning to hosting, particularly for formal programmes or events, though she admitted that acting is not her forte. She recently took part in 'Konsert Simfoni Budaya 2', organised by the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. She said the large-scale performance was a 'motivational boost' to stay active in the music scene. — Bernama

(Website pic) PETALING JAYA : A former top official at the Sabah Treasury will contest in the upcoming state election representing Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat (KDM). KDM deputy president Wetrom Bahanda said former Sabah Treasury permanent secretary Rusdin Riman will be fielded by the party in the Paginatan seat, the Borneo Post reported. 'Although (Rusdin) could not be with us today, his supporters are present and he has contacted me personally. 'Rusdin will be joining our fight for Paginatan,' Wetrom was quoted as saying. Rusdin is reportedly the deputy chairman of Progressive Insurance Berhad, a general insurance firm in which the Sabah government is the majority shareholder. The Paginatan seat is currently held by Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (STAR) vice-president Abidin Madingkir, who is also an aide to chief minister Hajiji Noor. Abidin won the seat with a majority of 1,323 votes in a nine-cornered contest in the 2020 state polls. At the time, STAR had gone up against Umno, Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS), Upko, Parti Cinta Sabah (PCS), Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), United Sabah National Organisation (Usno) and Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah. STAR and PBS have signed a pact for the upcoming state polls to avoid seat clashes, while the two parties are also part of the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah coalition along with Gagasan Rakyat, LDP, Usno and PCS.

‘RM5 a meal' eatery among 7 Rafizi plans for social change
Former economy minister Rafizi Ramli said he and his team have already found the necessary partners and assets for the social enterprises to start. (Facebook pic) KUALA LUMPUR : Former PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli has launched seven social enterprises under his 'Ayuh Malaysia' platform, including an eatery in Pandan Indah selling food at under RM5 a meal. The Pandan MP said the seven enterprises will commence operations in September, adding that he and his team have already found the necessary partners and assets for the initiatives to start. Besides the 'Kesum' eatery selling breakfast, lunch and dinner for under RM5, there will also be a sundry shop named 'FlexiMart' using the 'refill' concept. This concept involves the sale of goods without single-use packaging, with customers buying what they need by 'refilling' their own containers instead. 'We will also try to offer the installation of solar panels on roofs for low-income families, through the 'Suria' social enterprise in Petaling Jaya,' he said at the launch. Rafizi will also introduce a 'SagaSivik' civic education programme in Setiawangsa and a training initiative dubbed 'CLIB' in Ampang to prepare youths and undergraduates for the job market. Another initiative is called 'PinjamGajet'. It is based in Selayang and offers youths training on repairing laptops and smartphones, while the gadgets are then rented out to low-income households for as low as RM10 a year. The former economy minister will also introduce the 'TanamDuit' social enterprise in Rembau, Negeri Sembilan, which seeks to encourage modern agriculture on abandoned land. Rafizi previously said these social enterprises were another way of bringing change to society and local communities, outside of politics. He said 'Ayuh Malaysia' would operate differently from profit-oriented businesses and donation-reliant NGOs by empowering local communities to conduct economic activities that are both effective and self-sustaining.
