Zara tyre-d over highway woes
ACTRESS Zara Zya ( pic) is upset with the country’s largest highway concessionaire, PLUS Malaysia, claiming it failed to give any assistance when the tyre of her car burst after it hit a metal rail in the middle of the road in Shah Alam, reported Kosmo!.
Zara, 35, vented her frustration on her Instagram story and uploaded a few pictures of the incident. She said she contacted PLUS but did not get any help.
“The incident took place along the North Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE).
“Somehow, there is an iron rail in the middle of the road, on the right side of the lane.
“My car tyre burst. When I contacted PLUS, they asked me to reach out to Guthrie Corridor Expressway (GCE).
“When I called GCE, they asked me to call PLUS back. When I called them, only then a patrol car came.”
She not only had to pay for the tow truck, the Seadanya Aku drama actress said the rim was also damaged and had to be changed.
“Come on, PLUS and NKVE, please give some attention to the safety and security of the roads of the highway ya,” she said.
> Local girl group Dolla says they are shocked and humbled when they are compared to popular K-pop band Blackpink, reported Harian Metro.
The group, which debuted its popular song Dolla Make You Wanna, comprises Sabrina, Tabby, Angel and Syasya.
Commenting on local and international media reports, Sabrina told the Malay daily that they remained humbled about the exposure given to the group.
“I don’t think they are trying to paint a negative image on Dolla, and many had compared us to Blackpink previously,” she said, adding that such comparison was reignited when they unveiled their debut song back in March.
“Whatever it is, with our current popularity, it is the best time for us to release our second song titled Impikan this Friday,” she said.
The group has often been accused of copying Blackpink since their debut – both bands have four members and sport outfits that combine elements of tough streetwear with girly colours and silhouettes.
Despite the comparison, Dolla members hope to carve out an identity for themselves by becoming a “new-generation girl group” in Malaysia.
