#SHOWBIZ: Yusof Haslam: 'Raja Nurfatimah was a dear friend who helped my family all the way'
KUALA LUMPUR: Filmmaker and producer Datuk Yusof Haslam has described the death of the late Berita Harian assistant entertainment editor Raja Nurfatimah Mawar Mohamed as the loss of a dear friend who supported his family throughout their careers. Raja Nurfatimah passed away today. "Raja Nurfatimah and I go back a long way," he said when contacted. "She covered my work when I was still an actor, and she was there when I became a filmmaker with the Sembilu series too." Yusof added that Raja Nurfatimah was a steadfast supporter of his sons. "When my sons Syamsul and Syafiq rose in the industry, she was the first entertainment journalist to give them support. "My family and I owe her so much, and we'll all miss her dearly," he told NST. Yusof also fondly recalled Raja Nurfatimah's annual Hari Raya Aidilfitri visits. "She would always visit me during Hari Raya Aidilfitri, and we would engage in hearty conversations about Malaysian entertainment." Describing her professional qualities, Yusof said, "She was very hardworking, dedicated, knowledgeable, but most of all, humble and friendly. Almost everyone in showbiz knew her and had good things to say about her." Yusof shared his regret, saying, "I had plans to visit Raja Nurfatimah in July, but alas, this was not to be." "On behalf of my family, I convey my heartfelt condolences to Raja Nurfatimah's loved ones," Yusof said. "Malaysia has lost a great entertainment journalist, and the entertainment world has lost a good friend. We will always remember her love and support for Malaysian entertainment." Several artistes also paid tribute to Raja Nurfatimah on Facebook and Instagram, including Fauziah Ahmad Daud, Datuk Hattan, and Datuk Fauziah Nawi. In an Instagram post, Fauziah Ahmad Daud wrote: "Rest in peace, Raja Nurfatimah. Thank you so much for being a great friend to all of us." Hattan shared on Facebook: "May she be placed among the righteous. We've lost a great friend." Fauziah Nawi also expressed her condolences on Facebook: "May her soul rest in peace. Heartfelt condolences to her family." Raja Nurfatimah, 49, passed away at her home in Sungai Long, Kuala Lumpur, around 2 pm today. Her death, reportedly due to breathing difficulties and chest pain, has shocked both the journalistic fraternity and the entertainment industry. She was an outstanding, award-winning journalist throughout her three-decade-long career. Raja Nurfatimah's remains have been sent to Kajang Hospital for a post-mortem. She will be laid to rest in her hometown of Kuala Terengganu later.

America conquers with bombs, Malaysia conquers American hearts with Nasi Lemak
WHILE America is out trying to conquer the world with guns and bombs, Malaysia is already conquering American hearts with its iconic Nasi Lemak. No blood and tears, just pure deliciousness. According to a recent video that has been going viral, a street vendor could be seen enjoying patronage and praises from a good number of American customers. And the meal? Nasi Lemak. He remarked that some even came back for a second helping. The brief video did not provide any details about the venue, but it is safe to say that the people enjoyed a hearty meal that we Malaysians can identify with. Nasi Lemak mendunia di Amerika. Rupanya dorang memang suka makam sambal pedas agaknya 😂 — kamaghul deghaman (@kamaghul) June 20, 2025 However, Malaysian netizens who viewed the video were rather sceptical, with some pointing out that the customers were mostly asians. Then there was netizen @GmJCrypt who claimed the dish belonged to Indonesia, not Malaysia. 'Later, many more Singaporeans will claim the Nasi Lemak as their own,' said @BottomSepi. Away from the culture war, @PrsonStufJunrio added that it was unsurprising that Americans would love Nasi Lemak since they had a taste for hot stuff from Mexico. A sharp-eyed @CosmicCabbages immediately identified the person in the video as Kumar Family who has a Youtube channel. Apparently, he married an American. But should we stop at Nasi Lemak? Apparently not, with @cygaraga recommending Malaysians to introduce QR payment and parking sensors to America soon. It appears however, that this was not the first time Nasi Lemak was introduced in America. While exploring a farmer's market in Honolulu, Hawaii in 2024, TikToker Aiman came across a stall selling what appeared to be nasi lemak. Initially thrilled to find a taste of Malaysia so far from home, his excitement quickly faded when he discovered the dish was not halal—it included pork floss as one of the toppings. Despite the disappointment, Aiman struck up a conversation with the vendor and uncovered the fascinating backstory behind the stall. The chef, Andrew Presslar, shared that he first encountered Malaysian cuisine while working in New York. There, he collaborated with chef Zach Lazio, who ran a Malaysian restaurant. It was through this experience that he was introduced to nasi lemak. Presslar explained that the rich and complex flavours of Malaysian food captivated him, and he soon became 'obsessed' with its unique taste profile, describing it as 'second to none.' Inspired by his time in New York and eager to bring those flavours to a new audience, he launched his own version of the dish in Hawaii—though not without his own local twist. While the non-halal adaptation may not cater to all Malaysians, Presslar's story highlights how Malaysian cuisine continues to influence and inspire chefs across the globe. —June 6, 2025 Main image: @kamaghul

Malaysian filmmaker Sanadtkumar wins Best International Short in Canada
MALAYSIAN filmmaker Sanadtkumar Ganesan has achieved a new milestone in his career, making the nation proud by winning Best International Short at the TFS FEST 2025 Pinnacle Awards Gala, held at the renowned TIFF Lightbox – Cinema 1 in Toronto, Canada. Sanadtkumar's short film, 'Late Night Mini-Mart', was selected from a pool of exceptional international entries and recognised for its outstanding storytelling, direction, editing, and overall production quality. The award category, which covers both scripted and documentary films, honours the best work produced by international students enrolled in Toronto Film School. In a statement today, Ascendance, an international youth organisation, said that 'Late Night Mini-Mart' stood out not only for its technical merit but for its heartfelt message about pushing beyond limitations and the film explores how individuals are often defined by what holds them back, whether internal fears or external pressures and invites viewers to question those boundaries. 'The Best International Short is presented for both scripted and documentary films by international students, based on the overall merit of the production – from writing and directing to editing and execution,' said the TFS FEST representative, quoted in the statement. Meanwhile, Sanadtkumar dedicated the award to his family, team and mentors at Toronto Film School. 'This film came from the idea that we are so much more than the things that stop us – our limiting beliefs, our comfort zones. I wanted this film to remind people: you are so much more than what you think you are. 'Thank you to all the instructors who were part of my journey, Steven Hoffner, Amy Wong, Blain Watters and to my parents back home in Malaysia. Let's continue to live and breathe movies,' he said. TFS FEST is regarded as one of Canada's most respected platforms for emerging filmmakers. The Pinnacle Awards, judged by a panel of industry professionals, represent the festival's highest honour and celebrate bold, original voices in cinema. 'Late Night Mini-Mart' has since garnered praise for its intimate portrayal of everyday life, weaving in elements of Malaysian culture while highlighting universally relatable themes. Sanadtkumar is a Malaysian writer-director, award-winning documentary filmmaker and co-founder of Ascendance, one of the largest Southeast Asia's youth organisations. His acclaimed documentary series, 'Wanted: Shades of Life', celebrates inspiring everyday Malaysians such as local chess master Genkeswaran Muniyan and has earned international awards including Best Inspirational Film at the Los Angeles Film Awards. He has received multiple accolades including the Diana Award for Social Change (2019) and a spot in the Prestige 40 Under 40 list in 2024. — BERNAMA
