> Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman has defended his wife, actress Bella Astillah, against online criticism that they are not well-matched, describing her as a strong and independent woman, Kosmo! reported.
Speaking at their wedding reception at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre on Sunday, Syed Saddiq said Bella had been helping her family from a young age and had raised her two children before marrying him.
He said Bella began participating in RTM’s Bintang Kecil competition at the age of five, with her talent helping her family move from Sabah to Kuala Lumpur when she was seven.
While he had the opportunity to pursue higher education, Bella was already a mother, raising her two children and providing them with the best education.
“If we want to talk about being well-matched, I am the one who is not worthy of standing beside Bella.
“She is an extraordinary person and an amazing mother,” he said.
