THE Road Transport Department’s (JPJ) new vehicle registration with the BRK prefix for Selangor has drawn a lot of attention for resembling a certain Malay word, Utusan Malaysia reported.
The bidding for the BRK series, which opened yesterday, was announced through JPJ’s official channels and the post went viral with various public interpretations.
The bidding process for the series is only available for five days via https://jpjebid.jpj.gov.my and the winning bids will be announced on April 10.
The remaining numbers that have not seen any bidding will be opened to the public as soon as the BRJ registration series ends.
> Johan As’ari said he was surprised by the domestic turmoil plaguing fellow actors Farid Kamil and Diana Danielle after taking them to perform the umrah in Mecca in February, Berita Harian reported.
Johan said he was praying for the couple to be given a chance to reconcile.
“When we were in Mecca, they seemed happy. When I returned to Malaysia, I was surprised to learn of their marital woes.
“However, I still wish them the best. I hope they will make up with each other. I’m sad if Farid and Diana break up because I’m their fan,” he added.
Asked about Farid’s condition during the mini-pilgrimage, Johan said the lead actor of the film Anwar: The Untold Story was always in tears and looked overwhelmed.
“I spent a lot of time with Farid and took him to perform the tawaf and saie (religious rituals).
“During the tawaf, Farid cried a lot, and during the saie, he was still crying. When Farid entered Raudah, he did not stop praying.”
Johan described Farid as a good husband who was always full of praise for Diana.
