A COUPLE never expected to find love in an unexpected place – at a cemetery.
According to Kosmo!, Noorafizah Muhd Jalil, 40, said she never thought she would marry a second time after her husband’s death in 2018.
“I feel comfortable living by myself and taking care of my child, but I believe that this is an act of God,” she said.
Noorafizah said she would often visit her late husband’s grave where she met Ramlan Ramly, 58, at the cemetery in Tampin four years ago.
Ramlan, who is a school principal, lost his wife in 2021. He has three children aged 20 to 35.
“After four years of dating and getting to know each other’s families, we felt there was compatibility,” she said.

At just 21, Harris Irfan Jamaludin has chosen to embrace the 1970s fashion trend.
For Harris, the trend is not reserved for special occasions or social media content, but a daily expression of identity – one he carries even at home.
He has embraced this style since 2023, drawing inspiration from veteran entertainers such as the late Datuk Hail Amir, Datuk Sudirman Arshad and Latif Ibrahim, as well as Hollywood icons Elvis Presley and John Travolta.
