You might recognise her as Nana, the dauntless waitress in local TV series Sitik Tok, or Naz, one of the protagonist’s love interests in the comedy series Single Terlalu Lama.

But Mia Sabrina Mahadir, 28, is also a cat rescuer, an online thrift shop owner, a tarot reader and most recently, an artist who works with resin.
