SINGER Aina Abdul has created buzz again with her fashion choice – this time for her red kebaya songket that appeared to be made of RM10 notes, reported Kosmo!.

Her outfit in the video for her latest song Gema Raya was made by local designers Wan & Mary.

The kebaya was decorated with 200 pieces of “duit raya” envelopes that looked like RM10 notes.

“We took about three days to complete the design,” said the designers.

This is not the first time that Aina has generated talk with her outlandish fashion as she also appeared in the Anugerah Juara Lagu show dressed in leaves and flowers.

In the video, Aina, whose full name is Nurul Aina Abdul Ghani, also wore designs decorated with ketupat and fairy lights.

The new music video directed by Mohd Hisham Saleh had received 57,819 views within 16 hours of being released.

The calf was born to a female named Bera and weighed around 9kg.

Selangor Wildlife and National Parks Department director Dennis Ten Choon Yung said this was the second tapir calf born in the centre this year after a birth in March.

The Malayan tapir is an endangered species on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List.

> Utusan Malaysia highlighted the plight of a woman in Kedah who had been taking care of her husband after he lost both his legs to a bacterial infection three years ago.

Asmah Adam, 49, from Kampung Batu 16, Serdang, said her husband, Morad Kassim, 65, had to rely on her and their son Amirshah, 17, to move around after his legs were amputated.

“I can’t go to work as no one takes care of our house and my husband,” she said during a visit by Kedah National Security Council director Mohd Zawawi Zakaria.

The family has to rely on the monthly assistance of RM500 from the Kedah Zakat Department as well as another RM500 from the Social Welfare Department.

“My son and I also collect the fibre from the kapok tree to make pillows and mattresses for sale,” she added.
