PETALING JAYA: When rock icon Amy, formerly of Search, found out that his idol Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali was staying at the same hotel in Langkawi, he did not miss the chance to serenade the 95-year-old with a rendition of “Isabella”.
The nonagerian sat beside him and attentively listened to the crooning of the rock singer, garnering much applause from fellow Instagrammers with over 4,000 likes as of noon on Thursday (Dec 31).
In an Instagram post, Amy said that he was having breakfast at a hotel in Langkawi when he heard Dr Siti Hasmah was also there. He asked the person who was caring for her if he could meet her.
“Thank God we managed to get to see Tun and he wanted me to sing her “Isabella”. She said although she cannot see well, she can recognise my voice. She advised us to wash our hands and wear our masks - so sweet of her. We hope Tun and her husband (Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad) will always be in good health and protected, ” said Amy in his Instagram account under the username qasander.
In the Insta clip, Amy is seen singing “Isabella”, a Malay slow rock song which once took Malaysia and Indonesia by storm in 1989, topping the charts for months.
Amy, whose real name is Suhaimi Abdul Rahman, had announced he left Search last March.
