Punt on girlfriend's IC digits wins 33-year-old RM14mil jackpot
PETALING JAYA : A 33-year-old project manager in Selangor won RM14.6 million in the Toto 4D Jackpot game thanks to a lucky punt with the digits of his girlfriend's MyKad.
The man had been betting with the same set of digits for the past three years since first meeting his girlfriend, STM Lottery Sdn Bhd said in a press release.
'I always play Lotto games with this winning set of numbers – 4, 8, 11, 18, 20 and 29 – and I would buy eight draws in advance. I combined our IC numbers and the personal connection has made the win feel even more surreal,' he said.
The elated winner said he could not sleep the night before collecting his winnings at STM Lottery's office, and that he had yet to tell anyone that he was now a multi-millionaire.
He said he would channel the winnings into investments.

Amy Search files counter report denying Shila Amzah's assault claim at KL rehearsal
PETALING JAYA, July 16 — Veteran rocker Amy Search has filed a police report denying claims he attacked singer Shila Amzah during a concert rehearsal at Merdeka Stadium in Kuala Lumpur. Berita Harian reported that Shah Alam police chief ACP Iqbal Ibrahim confirmed receiving the report last night, describing it as a 'counter report' rejecting Shila's allegations. 'Yes, a report was lodged, but it was more of a counter report and a denial. The case has been referred to the Dang Wangi district police headquarters,' he was quoted as saying by Berita Harian. Earlier, Harian Metro reported that Amy, whose real name is Suhaimi Abdul Rahman, had given his statement at the Shah Alam police headquarters. The move follows Shila's accusation that Amy had scolded her during the rehearsal last Thursday. Kuala Lumpur deputy police chief Datuk Usuf Jan Mohamad previously confirmed that an investigation paper had been opened into Shila's complaint of criminal intimidation. Shila, full name Nurshahila Amir Amzah, alleged on Instagram that she was 'openly attacked' in front of crew members during the session. Several veteran and popular artistes are set to perform at the upcoming concert.

Ahead of the highly anticipated concert, a press conference was held at Hilton KL, where Henry reflected on how life hasn't changed much since rising to fame as a TikTok star in 2022. 'I still have a similar friendship group, I still live at home with my parents, I guess the one thing that's changed is I'm much busier now and travelling a lot. 'My private life, I manage to keep it private, which I'm quite happy about. 'But I do feel like I live this double life, it is literally like Hannah Montana. 'So yeah, I guess Henry Montana,' he playfully told Malay Mail. Now on his fourth visit to Kuala Lumpur, Henry shared his appreciation for the fans and the city's landmarks. 'The earliest time we were here, we explored the Batu Caves, and explored around the Twin Towers. 'This time we can't get to see much of Malaysia, but I'm excited to keep coming back and keep exploring, because it's such a beautiful city. 'I also wanna see different parts of Malaysia, like go to an island, so it's cool to maybe one day branch out and see different things,' he added. At the press conference, Bradley also revealed the story behind teaming up with Henry for tonight's much-anticipated show. 'I've known Henry for years because he toured with our band, like four or five years ago. 'We became good friends and have written songs together. 'When he texted me saying he was doing a show and asked if I wanted to join, I said absolutely — I'd love to, and it would be really fun,' he said. He also shared some of his latest experiences in Malaysia.

Fresh off the debut of his solo album, released in February, The Panic Years, Bradley revealed that more music is on the way. 'I believe what's different with being in a band and a solo artist is that it's slightly quieter day to day. 'When it's with the band, we're all very loud, which is great. 'I think overall it's just slightly a different challenge in terms of music,' he added. Tonight's first stop of Henry's Asia tour is expected to be a highlight, with many local fans eager to experience the Henry vibe. Other stops on the tour include Bangkok, Taipei, Hong Kong and Tokyo, all of which have already sold out, while tickets for Shanghai and Seoul are selling fast. In addition to Bradley joining him on stage tonight, Henry shared that tonight's concert will include some unreleased tracks. 'Expect the performance at Zepp KL to be a group therapy vibe, we are all there singing the songs together, and I feel like I'm really gonna take it all in,' Henry added.
