ACTOR Aliff Aziz has defended himself following a khalwat case (close proximity), saying that the incident had been exaggerated, reported Berita Harian.

The Singaporean actor, 33, and local actress, Ruhainies, 32, were detained by Federal Territories Islamic Religious Department (Jawi) officers at a condominium in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday morning.

Aliff, whose real name is Mohammad Aliff Aziz, said there have been excessive rumours circulating amid public criticism regarding the matter.

“There have been too many speculations and exaggerated reports on what actually happened.

“It should have been a situation that could have been avoided.

“However, I will explain what actually happened soon to avoid further misunderstandings.

“I truly apologise for what has happened and I hope my future explanation will clarify the matter,” said the actor in an Instagram story. He is married to singer Bella Astillah.

Ruhainies, whose real name is Nur Ruhainies Farehah Zainul Ilyas, also shared a similar statement in her Instagram story.

The actress, who is currently single, urged the public to stop spreading rumours about the incident.

“I would like to apologise to everyone for the incident. I do hope that this speculation will stop once I give my statement (on what happened) to avoid confusion and misunderstanding,” she wrote.

> A senior citizen in Baling, Kedah, was shocked when she discovered a 5-metre-long python swallowing one of her goats at her farm on Saturday, Kosmo! reported.

Farmer Hamidah Halid, 65, said the 50kg python had been previously spotted skulking near the goat barn four days ago.

“The python managed to fit its head through the fence of the barn of about 20 goats before it managed to catch one. Fortunately, my son managed to prevent it from escaping to the nearby bush,” she said.

Baling district Civil Defence Force officer Lt (PA) Mohd Faizol Ab Aziz said that the reptile, identified as a reticulated python, had been captured and would be handed over to the Wildlife and National Parks Department (Perhilitan).
