Dewi Persik reveals divorce reason nine years later

ALTHOUGH singer Dewi Persik divorced from her husband nine years ago, it is only now she has revealed the cause behind the break-up, reported Kosmo!

Dewi said her ex-husband, actor Aldi Taher, had not fulfilled his marital responsibilities (nafkah zahir dan batin) to her.

“I respect Aldi because he’s very open. He has admitted his mistake, which is that he did not fulfil his responsibilities as a husband,” said Dewi during a television show.

She said they had only gotten married as a result of a bet between Aldi and his friends, which also indirectly contributed to their divorce.

“He did not genuinely love me, which is why I feel traumatised with men,” she said, adding that she has forgiven Aldi.

Mohd Ammar Ariff Rosdidi, who was from Alor Setar, was believed to have drowned while reaching for his raft to take selfies at the Lata Hammer waterfall.

The 25-year-old’s friends, who were with him, said they saw his head going underwater and thought that he was swimming.

They could not save him as the current was too strong.

Bentong Civil Defence Force Lieutenant Zulkhairi Adek Awang said they later found the victim’s body trapped between tree branches.
