ACTOR Kamal Adli has invited his followers to wish his former wife, actress Uqasha Senrose, a happy 33rd birthday, Kosmo! reported.
Kamal, 40, asked the public to pray for Uqasha and send her birthday wishes, expressing hope that she would continue to be an exemplary mother to their daughter, Hawra Uqaira.
“May you continue to be the best mother. Everyone, please wish her a happy birthday if you can,” he wrote on Instagram, while also wishing her good health, happiness and success.
Many netizens praised Kamal’s gesture, describing it as a sign of maturity and respect despite their divorce.
Kamal and Uqasha, who tied the knot on Nov 4, 2021, split on Jan 12 this year citing irreconcilable differences.
> Durian growers are urging the government to build frozen storage facilities in major producing areas to help reduce losses during the peak harvest season, when prices often fall because of oversupply, Kosmo! reported.
Kelantan Musang King Association coordinator Yuganu Yunus said these facilities should be built in Gua Musang, Kuala Krai and Tanah Merah, allowing growers to store their harvest instead of selling the durians at rock-bottom prices.
He said the move would also help ensure a steady supply for export markets throughout the year.
The call comes as more than 200 Musang King growers in Gua Musang face financial pressure following a sharp drop in prices this season.
Gua Musang Agricultural Investors Association vice-chairman Tan Hu Hoi said growers were finding it difficult to pay for fertiliser and workers’ wages.
He also called on the government to set up a dedicated agency to oversee the durian industry, similar to those for cocoa and pineapple, to coordinate industry development, marketing, exports and growers’ welfare.
