ALTHOUGH actor Fizo Omar and Fareeda headscarf entrepreneur Mawar Abdul Karim are divorced, their love for each other remains true, reports Sinar Harian.

Mawar, 30, and Fizo, 34, admitted they were still fond of each other even after the Hulu Langat lower syariah court accepted their divorce application earlier this week.

Mawar was quoted as saying that she still loved Fizo, but had to sacrifice her love for the sake of his family.

Fizo also admitted loving Mawar. Seeking apology from Mawar’s mother Faridah Zakaria, Fizo said he was still fond of his former mother-in-law.

The couple were married in 2013. Mawar was given custody of their two-year-old daughter Wan Maryam.

The media found out about cracks in the marriage when Fizo and Mawar celebrated Hari Raya separately in their respective hometowns in Kelantan and Penang.

> The Fisheries Department has raised a red alert warning that fish stocks in the peninsula is fast depleting, reported Harian Metro.

Fisheries director-general Datuk Munir Mohd Nawi warned that the existing stock could only last up to 30 years if left uncontrolled.

He attributed the depleting resources, among other reasons, to encroachment by foreign fishermen into Malaysian waters and stealing about 980,000 metric tonnes of fish worth between RM3bil and RM6bil annually.

He said the proposed amendment to the Fisheries Act could be read together with the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Finan­cing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 to check the problem of encroachment.

He warned that the authorities would revoke the licences of local fishermen involved in helping those encroaching into Malaysian waters.
