VETERAN star Noor Kumalasari is missing her beloved sister Anita Sarawak who “disappeared” after suddenly leaving for the United States in 2011, Harian Metro reported.
Noor Kumalasari, 69, shared her longing for Anita, 72, in an audio programme hosted by media personality Syahril A Kadir on the Tanah Berdaulat TV channel, which began airing on YouTube on Wednesday.
“I really miss you from the bottom of my heart. It’s been a long time since we talked and laughed like the old days,” Noor Kumalasari said.
The actress revealed that the last time she spoke with Anita was about two years ago.
Noor Kumalasari said Anita was her “saviour” when she was depressed following severe criticism by journalists on her performance at a stadium in Kuala Lumpur in the 1970s.
Recalling Anita’s return to the United States, Noor Kumalasari claimed that she was not informed and did not know about her sister’s plans to leave Malaysia.
> Instead of the usual blue colour for nasi kerabu, a trader from Kampung Padang Air in Kuala Nerus, Terengganu, has shaken things up by introducing a purple nasi kerabu, Kosmo! reported.
Faridatul Nur Akmal Abdul Wahab, 38, decided to use “daun pitam” (Indonesian bay leaf) to produce the natural purple colour for her nasi kerabu.
“Usually we use bunga telang (butterfly pea flower) for the blue nasi kerabu, but sometimes the colour isn’t so prominent.
“I am also not a fan of using colouring as it ruins the dish,” she said.
Faridatul Nur Akmal said the daun pitam leaves were easily available in the forest near her housing area.
To get the purple colour, the leaves are blended and left for four hours until it changes colour, she said.
She said the daun pitam has its own aroma as well as health benefits.
