He is expected to be released earlier than scheduled for good behaviour.
> The daily also reported that actress and social media personality Siti Elizad has hit back at netizens who criticised her husband, Shamsul Baharin Abdul Rahman, claiming he cannot provide her with a luxurious lifestyle.
Elizad, whose full name is Siti Elizad Mohd Sharifuddin, said that while her life may not appear lavish to some, she is happy in her own way.
“Stop saying ridiculous things about my husband. What looks ordinary to you is extraordinary to me,” she said.
Elizad said this in a post showing photographs of the couple during a motorbike convoy while celebrating her 41st birthday on Sunday.
“Our little home, meals at rest stops, RM80 hotels, laughing throughout the bike ride, taking boat rides. Those things already make me grateful,” she said.
