#SHOWBIZ: Pak Nil aids needy radio listener with monetary transfer
KUALA LUMPUR: Popular TV host Datuk Aznil Nawawi's appearance on Kool 101 yesterday, where he spoke to radio announcer Haiza, moved many listeners to tears. 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."

'Fafau' tells Malaysian women's gamers to boost mental power
KUALA LUMPUR: To do better than bronze at the Sea Games two years ago, Malaysia's female Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) players must strengthen their minds. This was stated by Nurul Effa Fauzana "Fafau" Fauzi. Nurul was part of the team that won Malaysia's first ever Sea Games medal in eSports (for women), in 2023 in Phnom Penh. While the national squad for the Thailand Sea Games in December have not been finalised, Nurul and her team, NAVI MY, will compete in the World Cup x MLBB Women's Invitational and the World Esports Championships in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, later this year. "The main area we need to improve on is our mental strength," said Nurul. "As long as we possess mental resilience and a burning desire to win, we are capable of bettering our bronze-medal finish in Phnom Penh." Nurul and her NAVI MY teammates have been competing in Season 3 of the MLBB Academy League (MAL) against male teams. Although they lost all their five matches so far, Nurul said facing male opponents has been a valuable experience for them. "We are using the MAL as a platform to mentally prepare ourselves for high-pressure tournaments. "There is no women's league in Malaysia, so playing against the boys provides us with vital match experience.
