#SHOWBIZ: Pak Nil aids needy radio listener with monetary transfer
Aznil, affectionately known as Pak Nil, told Haiza he wished to give RM50 as an allowance to Malaysians in need.
Soon after, a caller named Nurul shared her ongoing hardships.
Nurul explained that she was seeking help for her parents, who were suffering from chronic illnesses and had recently undergone surgery.
"My parents are recuperating from bowel surgery, and I need to cover their medical costs as well as daily necessities," a tearful Nurul said.
"At the same time, my children are in school, and my husband, a factory worker, doesn't earn much."
Aznil asked Nurul if she had ever gone hungry, to which she answered in the affirmative.
"Yes, I've had to fast at times, Pak Nil, because I needed to save and make ends meet," she explained between sobs.
Aznil comforted Nurul and told her he would transfer money to her bank account.
Upon receiving the transfer, she thanked him repeatedly.
"I've transferred RM500 to your account; may your family be blessed and see better days ahead," Aznil told Nurul.
Many netizens praised Aznil for his humanitarian spirit.
Among them was actor Fauzi Nawawi, who remarked that Aznil was "always a friend in need for Malaysians."

Wayang Santri: Unique Tradition Of Javanese Commmunity With Moral Teachings
By Kamarul Halim M Kamal MUAR, July 21 (Bernama) — Wayang Santri stage performances may still be unfamiliar to many Malaysians, but this unique art form holds deep roots in the Javanese community across the Indonesian archipelago, where it has been passed down from generation to generation. According to a young millennial Wayang Santri puppeteer, Ki Haryo Susilo Enthus Susmono, many Malaysians still mistakenly associate Wayang Santri with wayang kulit, particularly the well-known versions from Kelantan and Terengganu. He said it was to address this misconception that the Wayang Santri stage tour was launched in Johor and Kuala Lumpur, starting July 19, to introduce the traditional art form to Malaysian audiences. 'Beyond serving as a platform for cross-cultural artistic exchange, the tour also aims to strengthen cultural ties between Malaysia and Indonesia, which share a deep and inseparable heritage. 'Unlike wayang kulit, which is performed behind a screen, Wayang Santri or also known as wayang golek, is performed live using wooden puppets,' he told Bernama after the Malaysia Wayang Santri Tour 2025: Indonesia-Malaysia Cultural Diplomacy at Keraton Mbah Anang here recently. Keraton Mbah Anang, a centre for cultural activities rooted in Javanese customs and traditions, served as the venue for the Wayang Santri performance in Johor. Ki Haryo explained that the Wayang Santri performances are distinctive in their emphasis on moral teachings and Islamic dakwah narratives, with the stories often about the Islamic kingdom of Sunan Kalijaga and are interwoven with contemporary elements, while remaining true to the original concept and values. Ki Haryo, who inherited the puppeteering skills from his father, the legendary Ki Enthus Susmono, shared that each performance is supported by 17 to 20 musicians who play a variety of traditional instruments, including the demung, saron, gong, bonang and Sundanese drums, alongside modern instruments like the violin and keyboard.
