A 66-year-old Malaysian woman has gone viral after marrying her former brother-in-law, six years after losing her husband and just over a year after her sister passed away, according to Weird Kaya.

Jariah Idris and 72-year-old Megat Abdul Malek Megat Abdul Hamid tied the knot on May 30 in Manjung, Perak, Malaysia, in a ceremony attended by around 500 guests. The wedding was organised by both families.

How it came about

Megat Abdul Malek had been married to Jariah's elder sister, who died of liver cancer in March 2025. Jariah herself had been a widow since 2020, and is a mother of seven and grandmother of 19.

According to Weird Kaya, the idea of the two marrying came from Jariah's younger brother, who had noticed Megat Abdul Malek growing quieter and less cheerful after his wife's death.

Jariah told Harian Metro:

"He then suggested my name to my brother-in-law. At first, both of us were shocked because we had never thought about it in that way. But after discussing it and seeking our family's views, we began to consider it more seriously."

"Not looking for love like when I was young"

For Jariah, the decision to remarry was not about romance in the conventional sense.

She told Harian Metro:

"At this age, I am no longer looking for love like in my younger days. Instead, I am looking for a companion to share stories with, to care for me when I am unwell, and to accompany me in the days ahead."

She added:

"In our golden years, having a life companion brings a sense of peace and happiness that is difficult to describe, because there is someone to talk to, share stories with, and care for one another."

Megat Abdul Malek echoed her sentiment. He told Harian Metro:

"At this age, I no longer see marriage as being solely about love. What is more important is having a life companion who can accompany, help, and care for one another."

He continued:

"I hope to live a peaceful, healthy, and happy life with my wife and family until the end of my life."

Children gave their blessing

Jariah said the marriage only proceeded after her children and family gave their blessing.

One of her sons, 32-year-old Badrulmunir Khushairi, admitted the family was initially taken aback.

He said:

"For us siblings, the most touching moment was seeing our mother and father smiling on the wedding dais. At that moment, we felt that giving our blessing to this marriage was the right decision. We hope society can view this from a positive perspective because everyone deserves happiness, regardless of age. Our mother and father's happiness is also our happiness as their children."

Went viral unexpectedly

According to New Straits Times (NST), the wedding footage spread online after one of Jariah's children uploaded it as a family keepsake, drawing both warm wishes and mixed reactions from netizens.

Jariah told NST:

"I am touched by the prayers and kind wishes given by many people. At the same time, I respect every opinion that has been shared."

Yes 933 DJ Hazelle Teo has tied the knot with her partner, Singapore-based musician James Wong.

The 32-year-old shared photos of her and Wong, 26, on her Instagram with the caption: "Today, the Wongs gained a daughter and the Teos gained a son."

"It was such an incredible day, soaking in all the love. Thank you, thank you, thank you. With that, we're officially married," Teo added.

Congrats.

Met during a work collaboration

The couple met in 2024 during a work collaboration and have been dating ever since.

On Jun. 6, 2025, Teo announced her engagement to Wong.

Teo shared the news in an Instagram post, recounting the surprise proposal that took place during the final night of a work trip in Qingdao, China.

According to Teo, she had returned from her hotel at 1am, expecting a few hours of rest before catching a 6am flight back to Singapore.

Instead, she was greeted by a room filled with flowers and warm lighting, where Wong stood waiting with a camera set up, ready to propose.

Teo revealed Wong had planned everything behind the scenes.

Teo also addressed the six-year age gap between the two.

Speaking on their podcast, The Couples Classroom, Teo shared that it was "refreshing" to be in a relationship where the woman is older than the man, and Wong added that the six-year age gap is "just a number".

Teo and Wong both said they were surprised that the dynamic between an older woman and a younger man worked out, since society often expects the man to be older.

Wong shared that when he first started dating Teo at 24, he felt he needed to grow up "mentally" so they could talk about "mature stuff" like life, work, career, and starting a family.

Teo also broke down in tears over negative online comments about her relationship with Wong.

Teo opened up about how episodes five to seven of The Couple's Classroom featured stories that were deeply personal to them, and those episodes drew the most backlash.

She revealed:

"I lost sleep. Every time I woke up, I would think, 'Are there still many people online who hate me?'"

A stun device and suspected drug paraphernalia were found in the vehicle.

While the Police were conducting the follow-up investigations at 153 Yishun Street 11, a 32-year-old man believed to be the car driver apparently locked himself in a residential unit.

As it was assessed that the man might pose a danger to himself, officers from the Special Operations Command, the Crisis Negotiation Unit, and the Singapore Civil Defence Force responded to the incident.

The Police were able to gain entry to the unit at around 11:30pm and found suspected drug paraphernalia.

The man was subsequently arrested for possession of a stun device, traffic-related offences and suspected drug-related offences.

The suspected drug-related offences have been referred to the Central Narcotics Bureau for investigation.

Investigations are ongoing.

A Singaporean woman allegedly slipped and fell at a waterfall in Kanching Eco Forest Park and had to be carried down on a stretcher by local firefighters.

The incident reportedly took place on Jun. 6, 2026, Sinchew reported.

Rawang Fire and Rescue Chief Zaidi said a rescue team was immediately dispatched to the incident site to carry out rescue operations after receiving reports of the incident.

He said that firefighters had to haul a stretcher up the mountain for the injured victim.

They entered the waterfall area to evacuate the injured woman down the mountain and sent her to the hospital for treatment.

According to Zaidi, the injured woman was handed over to medical staff who arrived at the scene to examine her.

He said the extent of her injuries is currently unknown.

Prioritise safety

Zaidi reminded the public to prioritise safety when engaging in recreational activities at waterfall and rivers, and to follow on-site warning signs.

He also encouraged visitors to wear shoes with good anti-slip properties and to avoid climbing slippery rocks or entering high-risk areas.

Parents are also urged to keep a close eye on their children.

The public is also advised to avoid participating in dangerous activities during bad weather.

"Safe travel is the responsibility of tourists," Zaidi reminded.

A Malaysian hiker who went missing in the forests of Perak for 14 days has been found safe, surviving without food and drinking water from pitcher plants to stay alive.

According to Malay Mail, Jaslinda Saludin, 49, was found on the afternoon of Jun. 6 near Kampung Lubuk Gaharu, Pos Musoh, in Tapah, Perak, by Orang Asli villager Nazri Bah Eng. She was subsequently taken to Tapah Hospital for treatment.

How she went missing

Jaslinda was part of a group of 14 hikers and two Forestry Mountain Guides who set off on the Trans Spencer Chapman expedition at 2am on May 23, taking the Pos Gedung-Gunung Bah Gading-Gunung Batu Putih-Kuala Woh route.

She and another hiker encountered health problems and stopped during the climb. Jaslinda later pressed on towards the summit alone and was last seen by a guide at 7:30am on May 24.

14 days without food

In a short video shared on social media, Jaslinda recounted how she had gone through the entire ordeal without food, relying on whatever water she could find in the forest to survive, per The Star.

According to The Star, she said:

"I had no food, I didn't eat for two weeks. I drank water… dark water, brown water, water from pitcher plants. So let's all be grateful to be alive."

She added:

"I only had my first meal earlier today after I was found and brought to the Tok Batin's house."

In another video, she described repeatedly falling and struggling to survive each day in the forest.

Multiple falls, minor injuries

Perak Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) Operations Division assistant director Sabarodzi Nor Ahmad told reporters that, based on information Jaslinda provided to rescuers, she had fallen several times while navigating difficult terrain, including near river areas and from heights of about five and three metres.

She also sustained insect bites during her time in the forest.

He said:

“She is in stable condition and sustained only minor injuries."

Found by Orang Asli villager

Perak Fire and Rescue Department director Sayani Saidon said after Nazri found Jaslinda, he contacted his nephew in Johor to report the matter to the authorities.

She said in a statement:

"Upon finding the victim, he informed his nephew in Johor, who then lodged a report with the authorities.

Singaporean actress and filmmaker Annette Lee held a refund event for her debut movie Dream Stall — and one person actually took her up on the offer.

In an Instagram Reel posted on Jun. 7, Lee said the event was over and that she had spoken to 12 people in total.

According to Lee, the others either gave feedback without asking for their money back or wanted to talk about how they resonated with the film.

One person asked for refund

The refund session was held at *SCAPE.

Lee had earlier announced that she would offer full refunds to moviegoers who watched Dream Stall during its opening week and felt that they had “wasted their time”.

Viewers who wanted a refund were asked to bring their ticket stub and share feedback with her at *SCAPE Gallery Level 5 on Jun. 5, from 8:30pm to 10pm.

The offer did not apply to tickets bought using SG Culture Pass, due to legal reasons.

The one moviegoer who asked for a refund, according to The Straits Times (ST), was a 29-year-old software engineer who had paid S$15 to watch Dream Stall at GV Tampines on May 29. He received the refund in cash.

Felt restaurant scenes did not look like Singapore

The man’s main issue with the film was that some restaurant scenes were filmed in Malaysia, even though the story is set in Singapore.

He felt that the filming location affected the movie’s immersive quality, as the surroundings did not look like what he expected of Singapore.

He said, as cited by ST:

“When I imagine Singapore, I expect HDB [flats] and high-rise buildings in the background. In shots filmed from inside the restaurant, [you can see that] there is too much parking space outside. It feels very Malaysia."

Lee explained to him that the team had wanted to film in Singapore, but could not secure a suitable location.

“Either we could not meet the rent, or [the shop owners] just did not want to rent it out. We needed two spaces side by side [to film in], and it was just impossible to find,” she said.

Lee also said her team used visual effects in post-production to add more buildings behind the restaurant.

Feedback on humour and Singlish

The moviegoer also felt that some of the humour in Dream Stall did not come across naturally, particularly in scenes referencing a Taiwanese movie.

He said some of the dialogue felt “a bit jarring”, possibly because it was delivered in a Singaporean accent.

In response, Lee explained that Singaporeans come from diverse backgrounds and speak a mix of English, Singlish and their mother tongue.

Annette Lee responded, according to ST:

“That is why I wish to see more local movies being made, so we can get used to how Singlish feels like when spoken on-screen."

The man later said that Lee’s willingness to offer refunds showed confidence and courage, adding:

“Being open to feedback is something I cherish a lot.”

However, he still felt the film had flaws and left the cinema with “very mixed feelings”.

About Dream Stall

Dream Stall is Lee’s feature film directorial debut.

She also stars in the film as Enya, a recent university graduate who tries to save her family’s bak kut teh business after her father, played by Mark Lee, decides to shut it down.

The film also stars actors such as Ya Hui, Xixi Lim and Xander Pang.

The comedy-drama opened in cinemas on May 27.

The Hong Kong school principal, Lee Cheuk Hing, who was involved in a bus dispute in Singapore, issued a statement on Saturday (Jun.6) stating that he was "highly surprised and full of regret" regarding the school's decision to immediately fire him.

This follows a previous update where the principal had tendered his resignation.

He also released a tearful apology for his actions.

According to The South China Morning Post, the school rejected his resignation.

In his resignation letter, Lee requested that his final day be Aug. 31.

Instead, they fired him.

The management committee said that if Lee were to remain as principal, it would "gravely disrupt" the school's operations and prevent teachers and students from "moving forward as soon as possible".

The statement also mentioned Lee's "vulgar" behaviour and how it contravened guidelines for teaching staff.

"Very surprised" by the school's decision

Zaobao reported that in response to the school's decision, Lee said that he was "highly surprised and full of regret" at their decision.

Despite this, he said he respects the decision.

Lee said in the statement that he has entrusted a legal representative to clarify matters concerning his relevant rights and interests under his employment contract.

In his statement, Lee also reiterated that he was trying to protect the safety of his students that day, but acknowledged his good intentions could not justify his actions and behaviour.

He also expressed that he was aware that his personal and discourteous actions had brought immense public pressure and governance challenges to the school.

He apologised again for his actions, and said this would be a lifelong lesson.

Here is what happened previously:

Jin Ze, a 33-year-old model-turned-actor known for roles in dramas such as "Begin Again" and "Legally Romance", has passed away on Jun. 4.

Zaobao reported that according to sources, Jin had suddenly felt unwell after returning home from filming on Jun. 4, and subsequently found dead in his apartment.

On June 6, Jin's management agency released a statement confirming the tragic news.

The company described him as a hardworking and dedicated young actor, who was always professional and humble.

According to Zaobao, in recent years, he had focused on short dramas, and several high-quality works were still awaiting release.

The company also asked the public to respect Jin, and be considerate of his family, and not fabricate rumours on the cause of death.

Zaobao noted that the 188cm Jin, whose real name is Zhang Jiawei, had shifted to micro dramas in recent times, starring in several such popular dramas.

They cited concerns by both netizens and industry insiders on the high-intensity working environment of the industry, saying that such micro dramas involve tight schedules and working long hours.

Jin's death has prompted a wave of tributes, including one by his co-star and Singaporean actress, Eleanor Lee.

Lee said that Jin was a "great friend and a great person" and appreciated him taking good care of her on set.
