Originally introduced as Mystic Rookies, Billlie (빌리) is a dynamic seven-member girl group featuring Moon Sua, Suhyeon, Haram, Tsuki, Sheon, Siyoon, and Haruna. Since their debut in 2021, these talented idols have been carving out their space and leaving a lasting impression in the K-pop world.
Who Are Billlie?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c03d37426d6d32ba0efee79890c77f0d9db7a46e69b7b2a1502a9c9fb5729da7" />
Billlie is a South Korean girl group formed by Mystic Story in 2021, known for their unique storytelling, experimental music, and innovative approach to K-pop. The group originally debuted with six members&mdash;Moon Sua, Suhyeon, Haram, Tsuki, Siyoon, and Haruna&mdash;and later added Sheon, who joined after appearing on the reality survival show Girls Planet 999. Billlie is celebrated for their immersive and creative concepts, which revolve around an ongoing narrative called "the B series," blending fantasy, mystery, and personal growth.
Billlie made their debut with the mini-album The Billage of Perception: Chapter One and its lead single &ldquo;RING X RING,&rdquo; showcasing their ability to combine eclectic sounds with intricate choreography. Their music spans genres like pop, hip-hop, and EDM, often featuring thought-provoking lyrics and rich storytelling. Songs like &ldquo;GingaMingaYo (The Strange World)&rdquo; and &ldquo;EUNOIA&rdquo; highlight their experimental style and strong vocal performances.
Despite being a relatively new group, Billlie has quickly gained recognition for their distinct artistry and dedication to their narrative-driven music. Their quirky concepts and highly engaging performances have earned them a growing fanbase, both in South Korea and internationally. Billlie is widely regarded as one of the most promising fourth-generation K-pop groups, known for pushing creative boundaries and setting themselves apart in the competitive K-pop industry.

If you&rsquo;ve been keeping up with Billlie on social media, you&rsquo;ll know the girls have been busy touring the globe and connecting with Belllie&rsquo;ve (their devoted fans). While the "Our FLOWERLD (Belllie&rsquo;ve You)" world tour has focused on Europe and America so far, the group is set to bring their magic to Asia next year.
According to the concert poster, Billlie will kick off their Asia tour in Hong Kong, followed by stops in Taiwan, Thailand, and Indonesia before arriving in Malaysia. After their performances in Southeast Asia, the group is slated to head to Japan and Australia.

As fans eagerly await more updates, excitement is building for Billlie's first Malaysian concert. With concert tickets often being a splurge, we&rsquo;re crossing our fingers for a price point that&rsquo;s kind to fans' wallets!
Catch Up With This Music
On October 16, Billlie unveiled their fifth mini-album, Of All We Have Lost, featuring the dual-title tracks Remembrance Candy' and 'Trampoline'. This comeback is particularly significant as it marks the group's first release with all seven members in nearly two years, following their previous full-member album, The Billage of Perception: Chapter Three.

The group expressed their desire to explore their true selves and reflect on the things they may have forgotten along the way.

Catch K-Pop Sensation Billlie Live In KL For Their ‘Our FLOWERLD (Belllie’ve You)’ Tour This February 2025!

After more than a decade of dazzling performances with EXO and a string of solo hits under his belt, Baekhyun is finally embarking on his first-ever solo world tour &mdash; and it&rsquo;s one for the books. Titled Reverie, the highly anticipated tour will span multiple continents and includes stops in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, marking a significant milestone in Baekhyun&rsquo;s solo journey.
Who Is Baekhyun?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/500aeb59f8b7424b52950248eaf5f64941fb76f1ebcc47dce690e1a1308929b0" />
Baekhyun is a South Korean singer, songwriter, and actor renowned for his dynamic vocals and charismatic stage presence. He debuted in 2012 as a member of the K-pop group EXO, as well as its sub-units EXO-K and EXO-CBX, and later became the leader of the supergroup SuperM.
<iframe style="border-radius: 12px;" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/album/6AeMj5CMeTXRGhmUuv0LH3?utm_source=generator" width="100%" height="352" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" loading="lazy"></iframe>
Baekhyun launched his solo career in 2019 with the EP City Lights, which sold over 550,000 copies, making it the best-selling solo album in South Korea for that year. He continued his success with Delight (2020), which became the first album by a South Korean soloist to surpass one million sales in 19 years, and Bambi (2021), which also achieved million-seller status. His 2024 album Hello, World was the world's best-selling album by a K-pop soloist that year, with 1.4 million units sold.
Throughout his career, Baekhyun has received numerous accolades, including three consecutive Mnet Asian Music Awards for Best Male Artist from 2019 to 2021. He has also been recognized with awards from the Golden Disc Awards, Melon Music Awards, and Seoul Music Awards.
In 2023, Baekhyun established his own label, INB100, seeking greater creative autonomy while continuing group activities with EXO under SM Entertainment. He embarked on his first solo tour, the Lonsdaleite Tour, in 2024, performing across Asia and showcasing his versatility as an artist.
Beyond music, Baekhyun has ventured into acting, notably starring in the historical drama Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016), for which he received the New Star Award at the SBS Drama Awards. He also co-hosted the music program Inkigayo and participated in various variety shows, further demonstrating his multifaceted talent.
A New Era Begins: Baekhyun&rsquo;s First Solo World Tour
The Reverie tour is more than just another concert series &mdash; it&rsquo;s the beginning of a new chapter for Baekhyun as he reconnects with fans across the globe in an intimate and powerful way. Kicking off this June 2025 in Seoul, the tour will support his forthcoming solo EP titled Essence of Reverie, due for release on 19th June 2025. This marks Baekhyun&rsquo;s fifth solo project, continuing his successful streak as one of K-pop&rsquo;s most accomplished male soloists.
From his silky-smooth R&amp;B vocals to his emotive stage presence, Baekhyun has consistently proven that he&rsquo;s a force to be reckoned with &mdash; not just as a member of EXO, but as a standalone artist in his own right. Fans can expect a blend of old favourites like Candy, UN Village, and Bambi, as well as brand-new songs from his upcoming album.
Malaysia Finally Gets Its Wish: KL Concert Confirmed
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d8b97ed008510fd0f1b7186b8c013e98e87d9a350bf8b10d1c8f8b33d6fed8e5" />
Malaysian EXO-Ls have waited a long time for this moment. After skipping the country during his previous Asia-focused Lonsdaleite tour, Baekhyun is finally making his way to Kuala Lumpur. The concert is scheduled for:
<ul>
<li>Date: 23rd August 2025 (Saturday)</li>
<li>Venue: Idea Live Arena, 3 Damansara Mall, Petaling Jaya</li>
<li>Organiser: iMe Malaysia</li>
</ul>
This marks one of the first large-scale K-pop events to be held at the brand-new Idea Live Arena, which officially opened on 27th April 2025. The state-of-the-art venue can accommodate between 5,000 and 7,000 fans, depending on the configuration. Its modern design and upgraded acoustics make it a fitting location for an artist of Baekhyun&rsquo;s calibre.
While ticketing information has yet to be announced, organisers have confirmed that more details &mdash; including seating maps, pricing tiers, and fan benefits &mdash; will be revealed in the coming weeks. For now, fans are encouraged to stay tuned to iMe Malaysia&rsquo;s official channels for updates.
Singapore Welcomes Baekhyun in November
Southeast Asian fans unable to catch him in KL will have another chance later in the year when Baekhyun takes the stage in Singapore. His Singapore concert is set for:
<ul>
<li>Date: 1st November 2025 (Saturday)</li>
<li>Venue: Singapore Indoor Stadium</li>
<li>Organiser: To Be Announced</li>
</ul>

A Beloved Voice of His Generation
Since debuting with EXO in 2012, Baekhyun has carved out a legacy defined by vocal excellence, charismatic performances, and genre-defying solo work. Whether it&rsquo;s R&amp;B slow jams, groovy pop, or soul-stirring ballads, Baekhyun consistently delivers high-quality music that resonates deeply with his audience.
His solo accolades &mdash; including multiple Best Male Artist awards &mdash; and his status as one of Spotify&rsquo;s most streamed K-pop soloists only reinforce his artistic credibility.
Now, with the Reverie tour, Baekhyun is ready to take his artistry to even greater heights &mdash; and fans across the world are eagerly waiting to witness it live.

Baekhyun’s ‘Reverie’ World Tour Is Coming to KL and Singapore!

After ten years of making their mark on the Malaysian music scene &mdash; and in the playlists of countless fans across the region &mdash; pop-rock band Insomniacks are ready to take the stage for their first-ever solo concert. Titled Echoes of a Dream: Insomniacks Live in Concert, the event marks a significant milestone for the beloved group.
From YouTube Covers to Chart-Topping Hits
&nbsp;
Insomniacks is a Malaysian pop-rock band that has rapidly emerged as one of the country's most beloved music acts, known for their emotionally charged lyrics, catchy melodies, and youthful energy. Formed in 2015, the band first gained attention by uploading cover songs on YouTube, showcasing their raw talent and chemistry. It wasn&rsquo;t long before they transitioned into crafting their own original sound, debuting with the heartfelt single &ldquo;Selalu&rdquo; in 2017 &mdash; a song that resonated deeply with listeners and was featured on the Astro Ria drama My Coffee Prince.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/j4ckkzbbETk" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
However, it was their breakout hit &ldquo;Pulang&rdquo; in 2018 that propelled them into mainstream success. The single dominated local airwaves and rose to the top of the Recording Industry Malaysia (RIM) charts, becoming an anthem of longing and nostalgia for a new generation of listeners. Known for their seamless fusion of pop, rock, and punk elements, Insomniacks' distinct sound continues to connect with fans across Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and Brunei.
Their growing influence has earned them numerous accolades, including recognition as one of the Top 5 most-streamed Malaysian artists on Spotify in 2024. With multiple radio hits under their belt, including fan-favorites like &ldquo;Igauan Malam&rdquo;, &ldquo;Reminisensi&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Kepulanganmu&rdquo;, the band&rsquo;s momentum shows no signs of slowing down. As they continue to tour and produce new music, Insomniacks stands as a shining example of Malaysia&rsquo;s thriving contemporary music scene.
Today, the band comprises three members: frontman and lead guitarist Iqie (Syed Mir Iqbal), bassist and vocalist Wan Arif Iskandar, and rhythm guitarist and vocalist Danial Lee Hashim. Previously a quartet, drummer Gavin Wong departed the group in 2022.

Insomniacks Bring ‘Echoes Of A Dream’ To KL With Their First-Ever Solo Concert This July!

More than a decade since audiences were first dazzled by sleight of hand and cinematic spectacle in Now You See Me, the franchise is poised for a thrilling return. The third instalment, Now You See Me: Now You Don&rsquo;t, promises the most audacious heist yet &mdash; blending the original gang of illusionists with a new wave of rising stars in a high-stakes battle against a dangerous criminal organisation.
The Original Horsemen Saddle Up Again
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2f76970b131a7df4894f1d346146e4ff95918b953c9f1a9ea6bbf084709595a2" />
The film marks the long-awaited reunion of the core cast that captivated fans in the first instalment. Jesse Eisenberg returns as the cerebral and enigmatic J. Daniel Atlas, once again orchestrating plans that blur the line between magic and manipulation. Rejoining him are Woody Harrelson as the hypnotist Merritt McKinney, Dave Franco as sleight-of-hand specialist Jack Wilder, and Isla Fisher as escape artist Henley Reeves &mdash; whose return is particularly notable, as she was absent from the second film.
Mark Ruffalo is also back as Dylan Rhodes, the former FBI agent who famously flipped sides and joined the Horsemen in the 2016 sequel. Meanwhile, Morgan Freeman reprises his role as Thaddeus Bradley, the once-imprisoned debunker of magic and moral wildcard whose allegiances are always unpredictable.
This reunion of familiar faces is certain to delight longtime fans, especially with Fisher&rsquo;s return to the fold. However, this time, the original Horsemen are not the only ones under the spotlight.
Passing the Torch: A New Generation of Magic
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a83ebc675e615454f31d47fd32c3810b90553167b6ea536b82d5c7c9f80a72ba" />
With the Horsemen now seemingly retired from active duty, Atlas seeks to reignite their legacy by assembling a new team of young, daring illusionists. Enter Ariana Greenblatt, Dominic Sessa, and Justice Smith &mdash; rising stars who play ambitious newcomers drawn into the world of magic-fuelled heists. The trio initially build their own fame by using holographic projections of the original Horsemen, but soon find themselves working with the real deal under Atlas&rsquo; guidance.
The trailer teases a mission unlike anything the franchise has attempted before &mdash; the young magicians, with Atlas at the helm, set their sights on an ambitious diamond heist that propels them into direct conflict with a shadowy and powerful criminal network.
Watch the trailer below:
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-E3lMRx7HRQ" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
A Formidable New Foe: Enter Rosamund Pike
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/19272ec348899f9efd8d046ab14d5d1705bffbadefcef48941aed1a04a70e532" />
Leading this criminal operation is Rosamund Pike, who makes her franchise debut as the matriarch of the Vanderberg family &mdash; a cold, calculating adversary whose wealth, influence, and cunning present a formidable challenge. Following her performance in Saltburn, Pike brings a sharp edge and air of menace that feels tailor-made for the Now You See Me universe.
Her role signals a thematic evolution for the franchise &mdash; pitting illusionists not just against law enforcement or rogue magicians, but against a deeply entrenched criminal power structure. With the addition of Pike and the blending of old and new talent, Now You See Me: Now You Don&rsquo;t is setting the stage for the series&rsquo; most complex battle yet.
Lights, Camera, Illusion: A Bold Times Square Reveal
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b77e24d5209759b6cc02b000801eeda6beb9f9f45f74b500851bc59220a2c779" />
To launch the film&rsquo;s marketing campaign, Lionsgate pulled off a real-world publicity stunt straight from the Horsemen&rsquo;s playbook. In the heart of New York City&rsquo;s Times Square, a digital billboard teased fans with the phrase &ldquo;Now You See Me,&rdquo; accompanied by a countdown and a phone number. As the timer hit zero, the display changed to reveal &ldquo;Now You Don&rsquo;t&rdquo; &mdash; and fans who had texted in received instant digital cash giveaways totalling $250,000, as well as exclusive access to the official trailer.
Newcomers Greenblatt, Smith, and Sessa appeared in person to help carry out what Lionsgate dubbed a visual &ldquo;heist,&rdquo; adding to the fanfare and bringing the energy of the franchise&rsquo;s big-screen illusions to real life. It was a fittingly dramatic entrance for a film built on misdirection and flair.
Behind the Curtain: Direction, Production, and the Future
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/e95db965d6dda2bd2324db98e8c733bdc8c1042e1b9a8ba36d521b7e60e6ea01" />
Now You See Me: Now You Don&rsquo;t is helmed by Ruben Fleischer, best known for directing Zombieland and Uncharted. Fleischer, who previously worked with Eisenberg on the Zombieland films, brings a blend of humour, action, and timing that should pair well with the franchise&rsquo;s blend of spectacle and suspense.
The script is penned by a team including Seth Grahame-Smith, Michael Lesslie, and the duo of Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese &mdash; known for their work on the Deadpool series. Original producer Bobby Cohen returns alongside Alex Kurtzman of Secret Hideout, with Meredith Wieck overseeing the project for Lionsgate.
During CinemaCon earlier this year, Lionsgate revealed that a fourth instalment is already in early development. &ldquo;We were so happy with the director&rsquo;s cut, we&rsquo;re already developing the next chapter,&rdquo; said Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson. &ldquo;We can&rsquo;t wait for audiences to discover what he&rsquo;s done with the third film and are thrilled he&rsquo;ll be making even more magic with us.&rdquo;
What to Expect: More Tricks, More Twists
Fans of the first two films can expect the return of the franchise&rsquo;s signature tone &mdash; a fast-paced mix of showmanship, deception, and dazzling set pieces. The third film promises to raise the stakes both visually and narratively, combining old-school stage magic with new-age technology and globe-trotting ambition.
The interplay between the returning cast and the fresh recruits is set to create a compelling dynamic. With eight magicians &mdash; four veterans and four newcomers &mdash; all involved in what appears to be a multilayered operation against Pike&rsquo;s organisation, the film looks poised to deliver spectacle, suspense, and perhaps a few well-earned surprises.
Release Date and What&rsquo;s Next
Now You See Me: Now You Don&rsquo;t is scheduled to premiere in cinemas on 14 November 2025. As audiences gear up for a return to this world of magical mischief and high-concept heists, one thing&rsquo;s for certain: the Horsemen haven&rsquo;t lost their touch &mdash; and they&rsquo;re about to pull off their biggest trick yet.

Now You See Me: Now You Don’t – The Four Horsemen Return With New Allies, Bigger Illusions, And Their Most Daring Heist Yet

Kuala Lumpur has found itself in the global spotlight once again, thanks to the upcoming release of Thunderbolts*, Marvel Studios&rsquo; latest instalment in the cinematic universe. The film, which features Academy Award-nominated actress Florence Pugh reprising her role as Yelena Belova, is scheduled to premiere in Malaysian cinemas on Thursday, 1st May. But it&rsquo;s not just the release date that has people talking&mdash;it&rsquo;s the astonishing stunt that took place at one of Malaysia&rsquo;s most iconic landmarks.
A Superhero Leap from the Sky: Florence Pugh&rsquo;s Daring Stunt at Merdeka 118
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c9a84f62bec961c06ef86a48798ec95a900222a0266363ba176b560f7dce3fdc" />
Filmed in August 2024, Thunderbolts marks the Hollywood debut of Kuala Lumpur&rsquo;s towering Merdeka 118&mdash;the second-tallest building in the world at 678.9 metres. In a breathtaking sequence, Florence Pugh performs a daring jump from the skyscraper in full character as Yelena, showcasing not only the character&rsquo;s grit but also the actress&rsquo;s fearlessness.
Director Jake Schreier initially expressed hesitation about letting Pugh attempt the stunt, but she was adamant. The scene was executed in one seamless take, without cuts, to preserve authenticity. &ldquo;It was a mad, mad experience,&rdquo; Pugh later remarked in a promotional interview, revealing the stunt had barely been rehearsed. The thrilling base jump required meticulous planning, with Marvel collaborating closely with Malaysian engineering teams to ensure everything was carried out safely and responsibly.

To celebrate this cinematic milestone and honour Malaysia&rsquo;s place on the global stage, Merdeka 118 has been transformed into a glowing tribute to the film. A special Thunderbolts-themed light show is currently being projected onto the building nightly, from 29th April until 1st May, between 8pm and midnight.
Marvel Studios shared a teaser of the dazzling display via its official Facebook page, declaring, &ldquo;LIGHT &lsquo;EM UP: Marvel Studios&rsquo; #ThunderboltsMY is taking over the Merdeka 118 once again!&rdquo; Locals and tourists alike have been urged to look up and catch a glimpse of this unique moment, with thunderous branding illuminating the Kuala Lumpur skyline.
Marvel&rsquo;s New Team of Misfits: What to Expect in Thunderbolts*
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5d000fca45e26298a17a506df2c1b90e5ed7b06a528b307ab7d937d4cdec653e" />
Thunderbolts* assembles a team of morally complex antiheroes&mdash;far removed from the pristine values of the Avengers. The film will see the return of Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), Red Guardian (David Harbour), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko), and U.S. Agent/John Walker (Wyatt Russell).
The story follows this unlikely team, recruited by a covert agency to undertake morally murky missions that require unconventional methods. As they navigate betrayal, power struggles, and the ghosts of their pasts, the group must unite to survive a mission described as a deadly trap.
The film promises to explore darker themes of redemption and identity, delving into the psychological struggles faced by heroes operating in the grey areas of justice. With high-stakes storytelling and a gritty tone, Thunderbolts is expected to be one of the MCU&rsquo;s boldest entries to date.

The unexpected pairing of Muar MP Syed Saddiq and popular singer-actress Bella Astillah has taken social media by storm, with fans and netizens alike fascinated by the duo&rsquo;s growing closeness. While neither party has officially confirmed the status of their relationship, Bella&rsquo;s sister, fellow artiste Didi Astillah, recently let slip that the two are indeed in love.
This blossoming romance has developed in full view of the public eye, with the pair frequently seen working together on various brand partnerships and social media collaborations.
A Scent of Something More
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/dbf4a301db7ca75639909d56e56f4e4812d18841226346b3b25886b57b6cd403" />
The latest venture sees Syed Saddiq and Bella Astillah appointed as ambassadors for local perfume brand Dolcea. On 28 April 2025, Bella shared a series of glamorous photos on Instagram from their campaign photoshoot, where both were dressed elegantly in white while holding bottles of the fragrance.
But it wasn&rsquo;t just the visuals that caught attention &mdash; it was <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DI_a1SlzWO5/?img_index=1">Bella&rsquo;s caption</a> that truly stirred the internet. &ldquo;From Parliament to perfume, now we&rsquo;re making scents together,&rdquo; she wrote, playing on the word &ldquo;scents&rdquo; in what many interpreted as a romantic hint. However, what came next in the caption stole the spotlight: Bella revealed that Syed Saddiq had chosen to donate the entirety of his RM100,000 ambassadorial earnings to the people of Muar.
A Generous Gesture That Won Hearts
The gesture quickly gained traction, with over 97,000 likes and more than 1,700 comments pouring in. Netizens praised Syed Saddiq&rsquo;s altruism, especially given the current economic challenges many Malaysians face.
&ldquo;Not RM10k, not RM20k, but RM100,000 &mdash; all donated!&rdquo; exclaimed one user in amazement. Others complimented the MP for being an example of integrity and social responsibility, while some cheekily commented, &ldquo;From Parliament to perfume to pelaminan,&rdquo; referencing the Malay wedding aisle and further fuelling speculation of a future together.
Some even expressed envy and admiration for the people of Muar, saying they were fortunate to have such a compassionate representative. The donation was widely seen not only as a generous act but as a powerful example of how public figures can use their platforms and influence to serve the community meaningfully.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments from netizens:
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d2f3a5e378c080759691bb587b1762e48fce1962088d7d3a63772dd22ea593f1" />
A Friendship Turned Something More?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/def25701f464e621743c15d16fa00f1c94d90cc3f57dcf544f682ea6438dbf8e" />
The connection between Syed Saddiq and Bella Astillah first gained public attention when they collaborated as ambassadors for a local clothing brand. Their chemistry was apparent, and the relationship appeared to strengthen further when the MP appeared in Bella&rsquo;s music video, Tapi Bukan Denganmu.

Though both continue to remain tight-lipped about the exact nature of their relationship, fans have been quick to draw their own conclusions. Adding to the intrigue was Bella&rsquo;s choice of background music for the Instagram post &ndash; The Heart Wants What It Wants by Selena Gomez &ndash; a song many interpreted as a subtle confirmation of her feelings.
Court Decision Still Pending
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/aa8457fa0251080f980bdf74d95fc46ddd503b2e04bc30c17096366836651b59" />
For those who have been closely following Syed Saddiq, you may recall that he has been entangled in legal proceedings since November 2023, when the Kuala Lumpur High Court found him guilty on all four charges brought against him. These included abetting criminal breach of trust (CBT) involving RM1 million, misappropriating RM120,000 in political donations, and two counts of money laundering, each involving RM50,000.
Nevertheless, the Muar MP was granted a stay of execution pending his appeal, which means he remains free as he continues to contest the conviction.

According to the latest updates, the Muar MP is scheduled to appear before the Court of Appeal on 25 June, where the outcome of his appeal against his conviction and sentencing over offences linked to the Armada fund will be revealed. The decision will be delivered by Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim, who is heading the three-member panel of judges. The appeal may either be allowed or dismissed, based on a majority verdict of 2-1 or a unanimous decision.
Should the verdict go against him, Syed Saddiq will still have the option to take his case to the Federal Court for a final appeal.
Public Fascination Continues
Whether it&rsquo;s their coordinated fashion, their professional chemistry, or the subtle romantic undertones, the pairing of Syed Saddiq and Bella Astillah continues to draw attention. In a time when the public often grows weary of scandal or disconnection among politicians and celebrities, this unexpected duo appears to be rewriting the narrative.
They&rsquo;re engaging, charitable, relatable, and &mdash; if the speculation proves true &mdash; possibly in love.
Until an official confirmation is made, the public can only watch and wonder. But if one thing is clear, it&rsquo;s this: the story of Syed Saddiq and Bella Astillah is far from over. And judging by the response, Malaysia is eagerly turning the page to see what comes next.
