"Their traditional Malay attire sparked a keen interest and admiration amongst the international audience," he said.
"This act of cultural diplomacy added a special touch to their artistic presentation."
Inteam described their first tour of North Africa as a journey that transcended linguistic, national, and cultural boundaries through nasyid.

Infidel hubby caught cheating by spouse but should he alone shoulder all the blame?
IT TAKES two to tango. That seems to be the sentiment among some commenters in relation to a video posted on Singapore Uncensored Facebook page. In it, a middle-aged man is caught with his pants down as his spouse caught him in the act of cheating with another woman, apparently in their own home! It is not known if the lady was a professional escort or a lover engaged in a sordid affair, but from the angry rantings of the wife, it would appear that the hubby's cheating has been going on for some time. The post was shared on the Facebook page of by award-winning lifestyle writer, fashionista creative director and accomplished beauty pageant judge Francis Yip. Of course, there was plenty of sympathy for the wronged wife with some admiring her calm demeanour when confronted by such a scene! One commenter just advised the wife to move on as the husband no longer has feelings for her. One advised that the scorned wife just file for divorce. In fact, better to never get married to avoid such headaches, it was counselled. No point harping on his foibles, contended one commenter, as the man was never going to change. Just walk away from the marriage was the advice proffered. The other woman was also blamed for breaking up marriages and families. A few also suspected that the video was Malaysian in origin judging from the dialect spoken. But rather interestingly, quite a few commenters sympathised with the cheating husband, pointing to the wife's incessant nagging. Like the poster aptly hinted, it takes two to tango in a successful relationship. 'Husband caught by wife in bed with other woman. Then she started scolding him. Very long video but it made you realise why the husband flirt – the wife loves to nag,' he observed. 'Yes, the husband is wrong. But we've only heard one side of the story – the wife's side. We haven't heard from the husband's side yet. Ask yourself why (the) husband flirt?' With one further advising the 'uncle' to keep calm as the storm would eventually pass. Some commenters went on to surmise that the wife had neglected her husband and the man was forced to seek out companionship elsewhere. However, quite a few were in disbelief that the man thought it was wise to commit adultery under his own roof with one observer pointing out that it was a cost-saving move. Men behaving badly and instances of marital breakdown due to infidelity are nothing new. But this video does highlight a few moral lessons. Firstly, there are reasons for straying and it isn't confined to lust and desire. It could just be the need for a friendly ear and perhaps, to escape incessant nagging for a while. Secondly, this is not an excuse for philandering but it does seem like common sense that such activities should NOT take place in one's own home! – July 7, 2025

(Video) Local Actor Bell Ngasri Stunned After Meeting Fan On The Street In New Zealand
They say you've made it big when people recognise you on the street in a foreign country. Perhaps that's why Malaysian actor and comedian Bell Ngasri was stunned when he got stopped by a fan in New Zealand. According to reports, the actor is currently in Auckland, New Zealand, filming for a project with several of his fellow Malaysian stars, including Fattah Amin, Amira Othman and Irfan Haris. However, while he was walking around town, Bell was stopped on the street by a parking warden. The 44-year-old was stunned, initially thinking he had done something wrong and was about to receive a fine, but it turns out that the parking warden was a fan. In a video posted on TikTok, the parking warden was seen rushing to Bell after spotting him on the street, hoping to get his autograph. The comedian even asked in disbelief, 'This isn't a fine, right?,' before being assured that everything was okay. After getting Bell's signature, the parking warden walked away with a bright smile on her face. The rest of the group then teased the actor over his unexpected popularity overseas. In the comment section of the TikTok video, the sibling of the parking warden shared more context to the story. According to the user, the parking warden is a Malaysian who had long been a fan of Bell. She has since migrated to New Zealand and is now living as a permanent resident. The user also shared a photo that the parking warden took with Bell on the night the two met. Netizens have reacted to the sweet moment, mostly expressing excitement for Bell's popularity. Many poked fun at the actor's speechlessness after being recognised overseas, saying it's not often they see him stunned. Some also said the parking warden was a real fan, as she never approached the other celebrities who were also there with Bell, like Fattah Amin. Others argued that Bell can now hold bigger roles given his popularity. We're sure Bell was just as excited to meet the fan, just as she was to meet him.
