On Tuesday (Aug 20), actress Puteri Sarah Liyana posted an interesting message on her Instagram that quickly caught the attention of her followers.
In the post, the 38-year-old wrote: “Always remember that you can have the worst days of your life, and a few weeks later, you can have the best days of your life. Keep pushing (forward).”
Although the words were not directed at anyone specific, many netizens connected her post to her personal experiences during her marriage to director Syamsul Yusof.
Puteri Sarah and Syamsul divorced on June 14, 2023.
But the proceeding to the divorce was not an easy one, which started soon after Syamsul married Ira Kazar in Thailand in January 2023.
Even before Syamsul’s sudden second marriage, Puteri Sarah had taken to social media to expose Ira as the other woman causing a rift in her marriage.
Since the divorce, Puteri Sarah has focused on caring for her two children while keeping her career on track. She's currently starring in the new TV drama, Polis Peronda.
Her resilience in moving forward with her life has been widely praised after enduring numerous challenges in her marriage.
Similarly her new post received over 500 comments with many urging her not to return to her ex.
"This is an example of a high-class woman. Don’t let anyone walk all over you. She (Puteri Sarah) deserves to be happy in her own way. Don’t tell her to get back with her ex-husband because she’s happy now," wrote one netizen.
"Don't get back with him. You must find someone better than your past. It's ok to be friends with him but don't continue what has already broken as not everyone deserves a second chance," a supporter commented.
"Maybe in the past, God was testing your faith, and now, without having to do anything, God has answered everything," said another.
On Monday, it was reported that Syamsul has filed for divorce from Ira.
Syamsul's lawyer, Azmi Rais, confirmed this to mStar, The Star's Malay-language portal.
According to Azmi, the Mat Kilau director took this action because the couple no longer has mutual understanding in their marriage.
