Fadlan preps for future in farming

Actor looking ahead to life after showbiz

ACTOR Fadlan Hazim (pic) is already tilling the land for life after showbiz, reported Sinar Harian.

Fadlan, who is famous for his role in the serial drama Papa Ricky, said his farming business provided him with alternative investments and savings for the future.

“I wanted to help my mother. I found out that my family has a plot of land, but it was abandoned and overgrown with bushes.

“I thought I might as well cultivate it. We grow various fruits there and rear cows, goats and chickens,” he said.

Asked why he ventured into farming, Fadlan said he wanted to be ready for life after showbiz, as there were many other talented artistes vying for success.

He is set to appear in the drama Semerah Cinta Humairah on TV3 at the end of the month.

> Berita Harian reported that visitors to the popular Teluk Kemang beach in Port Dickson were annoyed that they now had to fight for space with canopy operators.

There are now 20 operators supplying almost 100 canopies along the beach.

The operators rent these canopies, which also come together with chairs and tables, for RM30 to RM50 for the entire day. However, visitors who wish to simply lay out their own mat on the beach cannot do so due to the space being taken up by the canopies, especially during the peak periods. Civil servant Mohamad Suzaini Sidik, 36, said he often came to the beach with his wife and child.

“Why pay for the rental of up to RM50 just to put your bags? Most of us here only want to swim and even if you bring food, you can just put it on a mat,” he said.

He hoped the Port Dickson municipal council would provide more seating areas. > Harian Metro reported that singer Misha Omar’s rendition of her song Sampai Bila while sitting down earned praise on social media for her vocals. Misha, 36, said she had sat and sung the song during the programme MeleTop because she did not want to stand in front of the hosts, Neelofa and Nabil.

“I wanted to stand and sing, but I realised they were sitting down, so it would not be appropriate if I stood in front of them.

“But I did not know it had become a topic of discussion online,” she added.
