POPULAR actress Umie Aida has dismissed rumours that she chose Datuk Khairuddin Abu Hassan to be her husband for his wealth and status, reported Utusan Malay-sia.
She said the businessman managed to “steal her heart” as he was a humble and responsible man.
“It is his charming personality. Honestly, his wealth does not matter,” she said during a meeting at her posh condominium in Taman Tasik Titiwangsa.
Umie, whose real name is Umie Khalsum Rahmad, 36, said her soon-to-be 47-year-old fiancee, changed her views of men.
She had almost given up looking for love after several failed relationships.
Khairuddin, a divorced father of two, who is from Bukit Mertajam, Penang, heads two companies listed on Bursa Malaysia.
Umie, who acted in the movie Embun, directed by her sister Erma Fatima, has two adopted sons.
About 50 of Khairuddin’s family members from Penang will attend the betrothal ceremony today.
The couple plans to get married early next year.
> The Selangor Religious De-partment (Jais) has given followers of Abdul Kahar Ahmad, who proclaimed himself a prophet of the Malays, three months to come forward to undergo rehabilitation and avoid the same punishment given to their leader, reported Harian Metro.
Jais’ strategic planning division assistant director Shahrom Maarop said the department did not want them to die as apostates.
It is understood that there are 32 loyal followers of Abdul Kahar, including six of his children, living in the Klang Valley.
