ACTRESS Amy Nur Tinie once received an offer to be the third wife of a Datuk, Kosmo! reported.
Tinie, whose full name is Amy Nur Tinie Abdul Aziz, said the incident happened when she was 23 and still active in the beauty pageant circuit.
“It required a lot, financially to join international competitions, and corporate sponsorships were needed.
“A Datuk offered to sponsor me on the condition that I be his third wife. He also said he would provide amenities such as a house.
“My mother was shocked and said she was not selling her child,” the now 29-year-old actress said, adding that the man was old enough to be her father.
“I was unwilling to accept the offer. I would rather work day and night to find halal revenue because I was supporting my family.”
> A boy almost lost his finger after saving a kitten trapped in a drain at the People’s Housing Project (PPR) in Hiliran, Kuala Terengganu.
Sinar Harian reported that 10-year-old Muhammad Aiman Haziq Mohd Raffizi had gone to rescue the animal upon hearing its cries in the drain on April 23.
“I went inside the drain but while I was picking up the kitten, the cement cover of the drain fell on my finger.
“Three of my fingers were injured while my ring finger almost got cut off,” he said.
His mother Sharifah Nurul Fatihah Sayed Saiful Amizat said the doctor told her the finger was at risk of being amputated if the operation to reconnect the nerves was unsuccessful.
Muhammad Aiman Haziq is currently under strict observation.
