Cosmetic millionaire Datuk Seri Dr Hasmiza Othman, better known as Dr Vida, has asked to be given the space and time as she finalises her divorce with Fairuz Ahmad Zainuddin, 39. However, the 46-year-old businesswoman has kept a tight lip over the split. "Yes, I admit that I am in the process of getting a divorce. That's about it for now because I do not want to (make comments and) worsen the situation," she told Utusan Malaysia. She was asked to respond to rumours that her marriage was on the rocks. Dr Vida and Fairuz tied the knot in January 2014.
A 16-year-old boy has filed a RM2mil lawsuit against nine parties, including his former school seniors and headmaster, over a bullying case at SM Sains Sultan Mahmud (Sesma) in Wakaf Tembusu, Kuala Terengganu, two years ago. His father, Ahmad Fauzi Abdullah, 46, filed the suit on his behalf at the Kuala Terengganu High Court on Sunday. The boy named five former senior students, the school's senior assistant of student affairs and former headmaster, Education Ministry director-general, and the Malaysian Government as defendents. The boy alleged that he was assaulted and bullied at the head prefect's room by the five seniors on Apr 26, 2015. Ahmad Fauzi said the incident caused his son to be injured, and he suffered trauma and emotional distress. He said the purpose of the lawsuit was to hold those responsible accountable and to highlight the serious issue of school bullying.
