<b>Ning Baizura</b> may sue Malay-language newspaper | The Kuala <b>...</b> Posted: 25 Jul 2012 11:15 PM PDT KUALA LUMPUR: Songstress Ning Baizura is considering taking legal action against a Malay-language newspaper for claiming that she was on the verge of joining pro-Muslim political party PAS. The 37-year-old, known for hits such as Awan Yang Terpilu, is disturbed by the daily's allegations, which she claimed was irresponsible. She said she was taken aback when she saw the article, but stressed that she wasn't angry. "I'm not a politician, I'm just a singer, but I have my rights too. As someone who has never been remotely involved in politics, why am I being made a victim here? "If someone comes out and labels me an Opposition supporter against my will, it is definitely a sensitive issue for me. "I've always been supportive of the government, and I'm proud of Malaysia. That has been my principle from before," she told Malaysian Digest yesterday. She said she has since discussed her next move with her lawyer. "For me, this case certainly isn't closed yet. I leave everything to my lawyer. Perhaps some parties who had spread this malicious gossip should be compelled to apologize or retract the statement," she said. The controversy broke out when a local Malay daily had ran article last week, claiming that the singer was on the verge of joining PAS. The daily had run an accompanying picture, which showed her wearing a tudung. Local celebrity blogs subsequently picked up on the news, and speculation escalated over her links to PAS. The matter was made all the more controversial as only recently, Gerak Khas actress Abby Abadi had publicly declared her PAS membership. Following the allegations in the daily, Ning had vented her frustration on her Twitter account. Her rant drew attention and sympathy from fans and the local celebrity community alike. "I had to correct the situation. The quickest and easiest place to do it was on Twitter, as I could reach my fans and clear my name. Maybe my actions have offended anyone, and if it did, I apologize," she said. Ning explained that the images of her in a tudung were from her Instagram photo collection following her involvement in a telemovie, Haji Bakhil, last year. "The issue isn't about me wearing a tudung, that is something I'm okay with. In fact one day, when the call comes, it is something I will do. "However, I will not accept being taken advantage of, such as linking me to any organisation that I have never endorsed," she said. – Malaysian Digest |
<b>Ning Baizura</b> is pregnant « www.<b>ning</b>-<b>baizura</b>.com Posted: 26 Sep 2012 10:00 PM PDT By Hariz Mohd KUALA LUMPUR: Singer-cum-actress Ning Baizura is pregnant. The 37-year-old celebrity, who is married to British citizen Omar Sharif @ Chris Dalton, announced the good news to the audience during a fundraising mini-concert at Hits Club, Scott Garden in Jalan Klang Lama here on Sunday. Ning was talking to the audience and cracking jokes in between songs while performing at the "Just For You, Loga" fundraising event, held to collect donations for the family of Alleycats late lead vocalist Datuk Loganathan Arumugam, when she suddenly put her hands on her stomach and made the announcement. "Yes, I am proud to share with you that I have a bun in the oven," said Ning, responded with cheer and applauses by the some 150 audiences. It is learnt that Ning, who married Omar in Feb 2008, was in her third month of pregnancy. However, the pregnancy did not affect her performance that night, in which she presented three songs in tribute to Loganathan, including her favourite high-pitched hits 'Awan Yang Terpilu'. The fundraising event was organised by Malaysian Artistes Association (Karyawan) to help Loga's wife Datin Susan Lovie and their two children whose house in Tanjung Bungah, Penang was razed in a fire last month. Ning was among other artistes – including Alleycats members, Datuk Leonard Tan, veteran bands Heavy Machine, Havoc, and Vijay David And The Band, who performed in the four-hour concert which began at 9pm. The organiser managed to raise RM5,000 from entrance fees and individual contributions during the event. |
