Multilingual singer Masya Masyitah (pic) has released her first Mandarin single, Jiu Meng Xin Su, reported Utusan Malaysia.

The song, which was released on June 25, was composed by singer-songwriter Kai Kai.

“This is the second Mandarin song I have recorded, but it is the first to be released as a single.

“This song tells the story of a pair of lovers who are willing to sacrifice everything for happiness. Unfortunately, the boyfriend suffers from some kind of disease and has to keep it a secret from his girlfriend.

“His girlfriend is confused and finally, their romance ends in a way that is quite tragic,” she said, adding that the song was not about her.

Masya said that it had always been her long-time dream to record a Mandarin single as she can speak the language.

“The music video for this song was recorded in Bukit Jalil around March,” she added.

Masya, who is an artiste under Rocketfuel Entertainment, has four previous singles.

> A teenager tried to hide his motorcycle in a bedroom at his house in Taman Harmonis, Gombak, after a video of him riding it dangerously went viral, reported Harian Metro. However, his attempt failed and he was arrested by the police on Monday.

Federal Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department deputy director Senior Asst Comm Datuk Mohd Nadzri Hussain said his men had received information on two videos.

He said the first video showed an incident that took place in Jalan Sungai Tua heading towards Ulu Yam on July 4.

“From the video itself, we could identify the 15-year-old boy who was riding a blue-black Honda EX5 motorcycle in Batu Caves before he was arrested later in the afternoon.

“The second video showed another incident that happened on June 29 at 1pm in Jalan Batu 6 1/2 heading towards Kuala Lumpur.

“Further investigation found another 15-year-old boy riding a Yamaha 135LC motorcycle, living in Taman Harmonis, Gombak. He was arrested on Monday,” he said in a statement.

SAC Mohd Nadzri said the teenagers and their motorcycles were taken to the Gombak district police station for further action.
