Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Hajiji Noor and the Minister of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali are expected to officiate at the opening ceremony of the event, which is poised to attract over 1,000 attendees.

He added that 10Star Cinemas has invested around RM5 million for its project in Papar, and the company plans to invest RM7 million in Kinarut. In addition to a cinema and banquet hall, the new development will include a café, bookstore, and other related outlets to create a more comprehensive wellness and leisure entertainment hub. Furthermore, he said the facilities at the Majestic Ballroom in Benoni will be continuously upgraded, to provide the people of Papar with a better event venue and services. Onn Norshal revealed that demand for venue rentals at the Majestic Ballroom is overwhelming, with weekends almost fully booked. There are already customers who have booked for September, October, and even November, he said. He said the company actively collects customers' feedback to improve the interior facilities of the ballroom. He said curtains, air conditioning units, heat-insulating window film, and additional lighting are being installed to improve the experience for clients.

Aydeel Idham denies nepotism in dad Ahmad Idham's "Impak Maksima 2"
25 Jun - Even though he is the son of Ahmad Idham and is making his debut in his dad's film, Aydeel Idham said that he never once received any special treatment from his filmmaker father. The young actor, who will be seen in Idham's "Impak Maksima 2" soon, said that his father treated all the actors the same, and that means he is also subject to his scoldings. "My dad is very strict and stern when he is on set. There is no special treatment even if I am his son. I also understand what he wants and I see it as an advantage when it comes to making this movie," he said. Aydeel also denied the notion that he is getting a shortcut when it comes to his acting career, as he has already gone on many auditions in order to gain more knowledge. And this includes going to audition for "Impak Maksima 2". "I prefer to start from the bottom. I still go to auditions. My dad also encouraged me to do that so that I can understand the true colours of the industry," he said. The upcoming film stars Eizlan Yusof, Zul Huzaimy, Dynas Mokhtar, Riezman Khuzaimi and Opie Zamie, with the new additions of Nelissa Nizam and Arfie Shah. (Photo Source: Aydeel IG)

Nelissa Nizam denies being Ahmad Idham's favourite actress
23 Jun - Nelissa Nizam recently dismissed the notion that she is Ahmad Idham's favourite actress, after appearing in four of the filmmaker's films since his directorial comeback. The actress, who will be seen next in Idham's "Impak Maksima 2", stated that it would be wrong to call her the director's "golden child", but that there is nothing she can do if that's what people think. "I have worked with other filmmakers too. But maybe it's because he is comfortable with me. We have known each other for quite a while, so maybe that's what made it easy for us to cooperate. I know how he works and he knows what I can give," she said. Nelissa also hopes that their closeness would not be misinterpreted by the public. "He treats all the actors the same. When he is comfortable with a particular actor, he would call them back," she added. Aside from "Impak Maksima 2" which will be releasing on 17 July, Nelissa has also collaborated with Idham in "Saka Perawan", "Reza GTR" and also "Sahak Gangster". (Photo Source: Nelissa IG)

Ahmad Idham betting it all on "Impak Maksima 2"
16 Jun - Ahmad Idham is betting all his chips on his upcoming new movie, "Impak Maksima 2", after his recent film, "Sahak Gangster" didn't do well in cinemas. The director, who made his filmmaking comeback last year following his departure from FINAS, stated that he is ready to retire as a director if the film doesn't do well in theatres. "Impak Maksima 2 is the most critical work of my life. The film will determine my direction in the industry from now on," said Idham. "If it fails, I'm not sure there will be any more investors willing to give me a chance and it also means that I may no longer be relevant. And if that's true, I have to think about another career after this, so this film will be the deciding factor." Idham said that he does worry about the fate of the movie, but understands that it is part and parcel of being in the film industry. "That's why I always tell young artistes, from the first day they enter the industry, they need to have a long-term plan," he added. Taking the example of Yusof Haslam, who directed hit films like "Sembilu" and "Maria Mariana" before moving to producing, the filmmaker said that Yusof is lucky to have two sons who inherited his filmmaking talent. "I have to be realistic too. As great as we are, there is an end point to it," he added. Idham came back to the industry last year by helming "Anak Perjanjian Syaitan 2", "Saka Perawan" and "Reeza GTR". Aside from "Impak Maksima", he also directed "Sahak Gangster" this year.
