Malaysian actress Saidah Kamarudin has opened up about the reason behind her decision to end her engagement to fellow actor Muhammad Muntazar Ghufran in October last year.
The former couple got engaged in May 2024, after a year of dating.
In a recent interview with mStar, The Star’s Malay-language news portal, Saidah, 29, cited financial instability as one of the main reasons she called off her wedding.
According to her, Muntazar, 22, had only RM500 in his bank account.
“How can you take care of someone with that amount? You shouldn’t be marrying. You should be looking for a job or continuing your studies,” she lamented.
The actress further alleged that after the breakup, Muntazar hacked into her TikTok account and posted fake comments under her name to damage her reputation.
One of the comments reportedly said she had not moved on from the split and was also taking pills due to stress.
It’s understood that Saidah filed a report at the Setia Alam police station in Shah Alam, Selangor, on May 31.
“When Muntazar and I were still together, we’d share the passwords to our social media accounts. After we broke up, I changed my passwords and removed all access.
“He wasn’t like this before and only began showing his true colours after the split,” she added.
Meanwhile, Muntazar has refuted Saidah's claims that he couldn’t afford to proceed with their wedding.
In a separate interview with mStar, the actor said he has additional funds invested in unit trusts.
“I already told Saidah about it, but she told me that’s investment savings and not actual money.
“If it’s true that I have only RM500 in savings, how is it possible for me to pay close to RM1,000 monthly for my car while also giving my family around RM1,000?" he questioned.
