Shila Amzah Defends Nabila Huda Following Assault Allegations
Being attacked by obsessive fans is already a terrifying experience, one that many celebrities have faced. But to be assaulted by a fellow artist within the same industry can shatter your sense of trust in those you once believed you were safe around. Recently, singer Shila Amzah alleged that she was assaulted by a veteran artist. After identifying the individual involved, she urged fans not to drag a particular actress into the issue, clarifying that the actress had no connection to the incident. Here's the full story: Shila Amzah revealed that she was recently assaulted by a veteran singer during a rehearsal session for a concert. Following the incident, she lodged a police report at the Dang Wangi police headquarters on 10th July. The investigation is currently ongoing, with several witnesses having been called in to provide statements. The songstress claimed that the attack stemmed from something she had posted on social media. Since then, speculation has swirled over the identity of the perpetrator, with some accusing Datuk Awie, who was part of the concert lineup. However, the mother-of-two later clarified that it was Datuk Amy Search, who also happens to be actress Nabila Huda's father. Fans have since flooded the actress's social media accounts, urging her to speak out about the situation involving her father. Upon learning of this, Shila Amzah once again stepped forward to defend the 40-year-old star, stressing that she had nothing to do with the incident. 'I've said my piece. Please do not associate [Nabila] with this matter. Another thing — please find the cause of this issue. He was not alone. In the 17 years I've known his name, he's never acted this way,' she wrote on her Instagram Stories. Meanwhile, Nabila Huda has not directly addressed the incident but posted a cryptic monologue on her Instagram. In the video, the actress appeared to defend her father, saying that he had always been kind, calm and humble, but everything changed when a woman with the title of 'Datin' came into the picture. 'Look at what you've done. Now he has to bear the consequences of your actions,' she said in the clip. According to the captions, Nabila was apparently rehearsing lines for her next project, but the timing of the post could say otherwise. Was it really scripted, or was she indirectly addressing those words to a certain individual? Watch Nabila's video below: Sources: Instagram, SinarHarian, MalayMail, BHarian

#SHOWBIZ: Tackling mental health issues, from women's point of view
THE late playwright Jit Murad's acclaimed three-woman play about mental health issues, 'VISITS', made a triumphant return to the big stage at the Petaling Jaya Performing Arts Centre (PJPAC) in 1 Utama, Petaling Jaya recently. Staged there on June 20 and 21, and from June 24 to 29, this darkly witty play was in aid of the Malaysian Mental Health Association (MMHA) and its initiatives to support women and children in mental health crises. A production of Dramalab, first staged in 2002, it was part of the Jit Murad Festival 2025, PJPAC and Dramalab's on-going celebration of the late artiste's greatest plays. LAYERS Directed by award-winning actress Ida Nerina, the play had a star-studded cast comprising award-winning actresses Datin Sofia Jane, Nabila Huda Suhaimi and Nadia Aqilah. Set in a high-end mental wellness facility, it sees the lives of three women intersect in a single, emotionally charged hospital room. The narrative orbits around three female characters — The Patient, The Sister-In-Law, and The Nurse — portrayed by Nabila, Nadia and Sofia respectively. What unfolds among the three of them in an hour and 40 minutes, is a compelling struggle laced with maternal guilt, class disparity and the fragile line between healing and control. ENGLISH Nabila, a first timer in English theatre, said playing The Patient recovering from mental distress was "out of the ordinary". "One thing I love about theatre is that I can play multiple characters that I might not get on screen," she said. Nadia said it was the first big stage collaboration between the three actresses. "I've always wanted to work with Sofia and Ida. "They're among my idols whose movies I grew up watching," she said, adding that she and Nabila had collaborated in television dramas. CHEMISTRY Nabila said: "It's great that the three of us had almost instant chemistry. We shared a lot and bonded beautifully." Sofia said that she had long admired Nadia, especially as Puan Sri Saloma in 'P. Ramlee The Musical' and Zaiton Sameon in 'Zaiton, Ceritaku'. "It's great to work with Nabila, too, as she's one of our most versatile stars," she said. Nabila said working with Ida was a dream come true. "Ida is a brilliant director, she's friendly, always engaging." SUPPRESSED Nadia said The Patient, The Sister-In-Law and The Nurse each had "suppressed issues". "At the end of the day, all three of them are 'unwell' and want to heal themselves and fulfil their dreams," she said. Nabila added: "You get to delve deep into their minds, and relate to them with their interesting back stories." SAD Nadia said The Sister-In-Law appeared materialistic, but she had a sad family history. Sofia said: "Likewise The Nurse, who appears harsh, but this is a mask to hide her innermost demons." Nabila said: "The Patient tells audiences about how she ended up in hospital, and immerses them in her life story, until they come out of the theatre rooting for her. "What they have in common is they are strong, independent, human and gradually learn to be the best versions of themselves, through their chance meeting in the luxury room." ADMIRED The three actresses have never worked with Jit but have admired him from afar. Nadia said: "He was one of the greatest entertainers Malaysia has ever produced." Sofia said: "There are many great plays Jit came up with. If he were here today, he would be very proud to see 'VISITS' restaged." THEME Nabila said the main theme of 'VISITS 'was the need for mental health issues to be openly discussed. "People with mental health issues are pretty common. It is wholly normal, they are not crazy," she said. Nabila added: "Many people go through the same thing as The Patient." Sofia said Malaysians would have treated mental health differently years ago, but they now realised that it was normal and could be the result of trauma or the genes. "More people should talk about it, and we should all be more compassionate towards people who suffer from mental health problems, too." THOROUGH Nadia said it was a challenge for all of them to play such layered characters. "We had to get into character thoroughly, and at the same time, put a bit of themselves into their characters," she said. FOCUS Nabila said Malaysian theatre should have more plays which focus on issues from women's point of view, such as 'VISITS'. "Women should be portrayed as multi-faceted. They can be happy, strong, vulnerable and neurotic, in the same story. "Most importantly, it has to be their story," she said. Nadia said after the Covid-19 pandemic and the mental health issues that resulted from the lockdown, Malaysians gradually became more open about mental health in film, television and plays. "There are many methods to tackle this hot topic, and doing so through the creative medium gets audiences thinking about people with mental health issues, and seeing what they go through," she said.
