Sarah Yasmine demands SGD250k from Aliff Aziz for accusing her of defamation
On 9 March, Sarah, who made headlines in 2023 for not only admitting to be dating Aliff while he was still married but also sharing screenshots of his conversations with actress Ruhainies to the public, shared the said letter on social media for the public to see.
"In case you 'didn't receive' what I have sent to you personally yesterday on the 8th of March 2025, there isn't any way to say so I post it here. This is just the beginning," she posted.
"For those that did me wrong during the same period of time, especially those THAT CREATED LIES ABOUT ME, be it a big or a small lie, know that I'm coming for you too this year. You know who you are. Told you guys, the truth will surely win," she added.
In her LOD, Sarah said that she is demanding SGD250,000 (RM875,000) from the singer after he filed a Protection from Harassment Act (POHA) against her that led to an Expedited Protection Order (EPO) issued on 29 April 2024.
She said that Aliff's claim that her words were defamatory is considered baseless and without merit after he himself pleaded guilty to the khalwat case with Ruhainies.

Summer vacation hot spot may see more military than margaritas this summer
Tourists visiting Cancún and Mexico's Riviera Maya this summer are being greeted not just with ocean breezes and poolside cocktails, but by heavily armed patrols. In response to escalating cartel violence and crimes against travelers, the Mexican government has deployed more than 7,000 troops and security personnel to safeguard the country's most popular vacation zones. Advertisement Since 2021, Mexico has turned to deploying troops and local enforcement to patrol the beaches and tourist hot spots. Former Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Senior Special Agent Michael Brown, currently the global director of counter-narcotics technology at Rigaku Analytical Devices, told Fox News Digital that the sight of military rifles may do more to remind travelers of the danger than reassure them of their safety. 'The fluidity of Mexican organized crime, gang activity, is constantly moving from one side of the country to the next,' he said. 'Unfortunately, these high-end tourist areas represent an easy opportunity for organized crime to come, steal, assault, and rob.' Military muscle on patrol This summer, the Mexican government has launched an aggressive security campaign across popular tourist destinations in the state of Quintana Roo — home to Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and Cozumel.

NurPhoto via Getty Images Dubbed 'Operation Summer Vacation 2025,' the initiative was formally announced on July 18 and involves the deployment of more than 7,000 security personnel, including members of the National Guard, Navy, Army, and state and local police. While Operation Summer Vacation 2025 is the largest coordinated seasonal deployment to date, it follows a multi-year pattern of heightened military involvement in Mexico's most lucrative tourist zones. The goal is to safeguard the expected 2 million tourists throughout the summer and early fall months with a coordinated presence of land, air, and sea patrols.

Your conduct, your ethics, and your commitment will make the difference,' Gov. Mara Lezama Espinosa of Quintana Roo said in a news conference, according to Spanish-speaking regional media outlets. Brown views the militarization as a red flag rather than a reassurance. 'You're sitting on a beach looking at soldiers. I'm worried about something happening. That really works against the concept of a vacation,' he said. 'If I'm sitting on a beach looking at the armed military, is that really going to make me relax?'

AFP via Getty Images Concerns about traveling to Mexico as an American are not overstated, as cases of rampant crime against tourists have prompted the U.S. State Department to issue warnings. The agency issued a Level 2 travel advisory to Quintana Roo, meaning travelers should 'exercise increased caution' due to elevated risks connected to property crimes, scams, and occasional violent incidents – even in tourist areas. The U.S. Embassy in Mexico encourages U.S. citizens to remain vigilant at all times, especially in the downtown zones of Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and Tulum after dusk, and to stick to well-lit, populated areas to reduce vulnerability. Travel alerts also remind visitors of incidents where cartel-related violence and rival gang disconnects, though not necessarily targeted at tourists, have injured innocent bystanders. 'If you're going to go to places which represent a certain level of danger, you have to have a plan in place to mitigate that threat, because once it happens, you're not going to see it happen,' Brown said.

Brown recommends tourists carry personal GPS trackers, ideally concealed in a handbag, bracelet, or necklace, and set designated check-in times with family members back home. He also urges travelers to only use transportation arranged by the hotel when staying at resorts and to pre-verify the driver's identification and license plate. 5 Since 2021, Mexico has turned to deploying troops and local enforcement to patrol the beaches and tourist hot spots.

For cruise-goers or those venturing into local towns, he advises leaving all jewelry, designer items, and large amounts of cash onboard to avoid being targeted. 'Have a plan,' he said. 'Your awareness has to increase significantly the moment you step off that plane.'

Halal Fest expects to bring about 20,000 attendees to Naperville's Frontier Park this weekend
The third annual Halal Fest returns to Naperville's Frontier Park this weekend with Halal dishes from around the globe, artisanal crafts from local businesses, camel rides, and traditional dabke and zaffa dances. Previously known as the Naperville Halal Fest, the Chicagoland Halal Fest will be held from noon to 9 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 8 p.m. Sunday. About 20,000 people are expected to attend this year, according to the Illinois Muslim Chamber of Commerce, which organizes the event. 'Halal is kind of a way of living,' said Shafeek Abubaker, president of Illinois Muslim chamber. 'Halal in literal meaning, it means permissible by God. But when it comes to food, which is what halal is generally connected with, there is a specific way of slaughtering an animal or cooking a food when it comes to the halal regulations.' Last year, the Naperville event attracted 15,000 people, nearly double the 8,000 who attended in its debut year, Abubaker said. Its success may push the organization to move it to the DuPage Event Center and Fairgrounds in Wheaton next year, he said. One reason for the event's appeal, Abubaker said, is the diversity it features. 'What this event does is it brings the different cultures and communities within the Muslim community in Chicagoland together at this event,' he said. 'So we try to showcase different ethnicities, cultures, food and merchandise.' This year the food options will range from Mediterranean by the popular Al Bawadi Grill to Halal burgers from Bumper 2 Burger. Attendees can also find Halal Mexican food at this year's festival, a cuisine that has become more popular in the Muslim community in recent years, according to Abubaker. 'Celebrating the identity, showcasing and supporting small businesses, bringing the community together, allowing people to see the commonalities even when we may look different or pray different — these are the reasons why we do this event,' he said. Abubaker also thinks the festival's welcoming environment helps contribute to its popularity, noting that 20% to 30% of attendees are non-Muslim. This year they also will be featuring vendors and performers from outside of Illinois, including places like Pennsylvania and Indiana. One band he is particularly excited about is the Virginia-based group VADA, he said. 'It's comprised of young artists who are actually first generation kids who grew up in the United States but (are) connected with the music called the Qawwali,' Abubaker said. 'And so that's really popular within the Indo-Pakistani subcontinent culture so we will be showcasing them on Saturday evening.' The Illinois Muslim chamber bills its event as 'the nation's largest halal-themed festival' and says it reflects a growing demand for halal food, products and experiences. Last weekend, the first summer halal food festival was held in Atlanta. Philadelphia's second annual Philly Halal Food Fest in September 2024 drew more than 6,000, and Houston hosted its second annual Texas Halal Fest in December. Abubaker thinks the regulations around halal food is part of what's driving this interest nationwide, with requirements including making sure the animal is healthy at the time of slaughter and ensuring the animal's death is quick and humane. 'Even beyond the religious beliefs, there are a lot of people who are even outside of the Muslim community now starting to like or accept halal food, mainly because of the way the meat is being processed,' he said. Chicagoland Halal Fest is continues as other events in Naperville have been canceled this year. This week, Indian Community Outreach announced that this year's India Day Parade would not be held, a decision made after the organization decided to scale back its day-long celebration due to enhanced safety requirements. The annual Naperville Salute was also canceled this year. Abubaker said that despite the extra burden that comes with some of the enhanced safety measures from the city — like the clear bag policy and use of metal detectors — organizers wanted to carry on because of its popularity. 'The city of Naperville has been very, very supportive and helpful for us all along,' Abubaker said. 'It is for the safety and security of the attendees, as well as the larger community, so we appreciate and we understand that.'

Bride finally says ‘yes' to engagement — after her boyfriend proposed 43 times: ‘I just knew she was the one'
A would-be fiancé went through the ringer to give his beloved a ring. After seven years and 42 rejections, a woman finally accepted her boyfriend's proposal. Sarah Wintrip, 38, has finally said 'yes' to her long-term patient partner, Luke Wintrip, 36 — on his 43rd attempt. The couple, who tied the knot on May 17, 2025, have shocked many people with their unusual love story. Sarah, 38, from Chelmsford, Essex, initially turned down Luke's first proposal in 2018 after just six months of dating. Both had recently emerged from serious relationships and, despite being in love, Sarah wasn't ready for another commitment so soon — especially one involving her three daughters. 'I didn't expect it,' she recalled of the first proposal, which took place during a romantic horse ride in Jamaica. 'I loved him, but I didn't want to say 'yes' to something I later retracted. I wanted to make sure with kids and everything going on that it was right. Luke said 'Okay, fine, but I'm going to keep asking you,' she told Kennedy News. Luke, a 36-year-old tattooist, was undeterred. With each 'no,' he grew more creative — proposing in abandoned castles, hiring musicians, and staging candlelit dinners. One of the most elaborate proposals happened in Prague, where Luke transformed a deserted castle into a fairy-tale setting, complete with chocolates, champagne, and fairy lights. But even then, Sarah rejected him. 'I knew it was early, but I just knew she was the one,' Luke said. 'My friends said to me, 'You're trying to beat her down,' but it wasn't that. I wanted to prove to her how much I want this, and I hoped one day the girls would look at it and go 'Well, if Luke loves Mum that much, I need to find someone that loves me that much'.' Clips of Luke's repeated proposals — including one at a restaurant where Sarah shyly buried her head in her hands, and another on a busy street — went viral on TikTok. The caption '43 proposals and now we are getting married in two weeks' attracted thousands of viewers. Sarah finally said yes in 2023 after telling Luke to pause the proposals and wait for the right moment. That moment came in Greenwich, London — where the eastern and western hemispheres meet to form the basis of the Greenwich Mean Time time zone — with a hired busker playing all her favorite songs. 'When he proposed, he said, 'This is the center of the world and you are the center of my world and I want you to marry me'. He finally won my heart,' she recounted. Now happily married, Sarah reflects on her decision with no regrets and encourages other women to trust their own timing: 'If they're the one, they'll put in the effort. You don't have to say 'yes' if you're not ready. You can say, 'not right now.'' 'I think he probably should get a Guinness World Record. I am grateful he persisted for so long,' Sarah joked.
