IN an age where heartbreak is increasingly laid bare on social media, actress Fasha Sandha (pic) is striking a tone grounded less in romance and more in realism, reported Harian Metro.
The 42-year-old actress is urging women to rethink love through the lens of independence, saying women should always be prepared for any possibility that may occur in a relationship, especially when a partner cheats on them.
Fasha, whose real name is Nur Fasha Sandha Hassan, said cheating can be committed by either partner and the finger cannot be pointed at only one party.
“We need to have our own money. We can live without a man. Even if a man cheats on his wife, he already has his own money.
“If you feel cheated, you don’t even need to ‘stay’ just to convince yourself. It is best to think about our own circumstances, what can make us happy?
“I’m not a ‘love’ doctor. But I can give my opinion because I am not perfect and my life is not perfect either. I can only say that as a woman, you need to have your own money,” she said.
> The high price of ikan kelah (putitor mahseer), is the main reason why people are stealing them from the Sungai Petang Kelah Sanctuary in Lake Kenyir, Hulu Terengganu, Mingguan Malaysia reported.
The matter came to light following a break-in incident that caused the sanctuary to close on April 6, according to the report.
Quoting a source, the weekly said the drastic loss of the high priced fishes was detected several months ago.
“The fishes suddenly ‘disappeared’ and are believed to have been stolen by an irresponsible individual who trespassed the secured area,” the source said.
It is understood that the entrance to the area was under tight security, locked and monitored round the clock by a guard.
The source also pointed out the surrounding was a thick forest, and questioned how someone could have trespassed the security system.
Ikan kelah is among the most expensive freshwater fish species and is hard to get.
In the local market, they can be sold for between RM150 and RM300 per kilo, while the wild ones can fetch RM500 to RM1000 per kilo.
