#SHOWBIZ: Lawyer of Fikry Ibrahim's wife denies she withdrew divorce application
KUALA LUMPUR: The Syariah lawyer representing Siti Khalizah Alihan, Wan Muhammad Afiq Mohd Razib, has refuted claims made by actor and host Fikry Ibrahim on TV3's Melodi last night, asserting that his client, Fikry's wife, has not withdrawn her divorce application.
In a news report today, Wan Muhammad Afiq said that if the divorce application had indeed been withdrawn at the Federal Territory Syariah Court yesterday, as Fikry alleged, then no adjournment date would have been set for the divorce proceedings.
"Yes, the court had given a long period for reconciliation. However, if the application were withdrawn, there wouldn't be an extension date issued by the court," he said.
"We are requesting a further date to await the plaintiff's (Fikry's) response. If we had withdrawn it yesterday, then it would be over, with no adjournment date issued."
He added: "There was no retraction yesterday. What the media reported yesterday is correct. I also don't want to inform (the media) otherwise."
Fikry, who spoke to the media after the live broadcast of Melodi at Balai Berita last night, claimed that Siti Khalizah had appeared at the Federal Territory Syariah Court to withdraw her divorce application, which was filed last month.
Fikry maintained that his marriage to Siti Khalizah, whom he married on Jan 12, is stable, even claiming they love each other.
Commenting on Fikry's absence from the Federal Territory Syariah Court yesterday, Wan Muhammad Afiq confirmed that the summons had been served, but the plaintiff was not present.
"The question of whether he (Fikry) sent our client to the court is outside our jurisdiction. What is certain is that he was not present yesterday," Wan Muhammad Afiq said.
"We are all waiting for his stance on whether he wants to agree or not, or whether he wants to reconcile, because fundamentally, our client wants to reconcile. So, we need to know the plaintiff's position – whether he wants to reconcile or not.
"But he (Fikry) didn't come yesterday either, so we couldn't get a response. If we are to make peace, there may be terms that need to be followed. Perhaps we can reconcile, which is why we need his stance and answer.
"If he (Fikry) had come yesterday, we could have discussed it or received an answer. But he didn't come. So, we don't know his position. That's why the court set a postponement date."
Yesterday, Wan Muhammad Afiq announced that his client had filed for divorce due to a lack of understanding between the couple.
After the first mention of the divorce claim and application was completed yesterday, Wan Muhammad Afiq reportedly said that proceedings would continue on Sept 10 to allow both parties time to reconcile.

Malaysian Actor Fikry Abdullah Back Together With Wife After Divorce Fiasco
Yesterday (19th June 2025, Thursday), fans were surprised to hear that Fikry Abdullah's wife had sought divorce from the actor just four months after tying the knot. After much commotion, the pair reveal they're back together. Late last night, Fikry's wife, Khalizah Alihan, shared a photo of her and Fikry holding hands on her Instagram account. In her captions, she wrote, 'Thank you to everyone who prayed for our happiness,' assuring the public about her marriage. This post followed the recent issue where Khalizah allegedly filed for divorce from Fikry. This news shocked fans because the couple had only married last February. To recap, Khalizah appeared at the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur Syariah Court on Thursday morning, which sparked rumours that she and Fikry are divorcing. After the news broke out, Fikry appeared at his hosting gig for TV3's 'Melodi' to clarify the situation. The 31-year-old denies the separation, saying his wife's appearance at the courthouse was to retract her previous divorce filing made in May. The actor also denied allegations that the divorce filing was a marketing gimmick. Fikry then assured the public that the couple was doing fine and would continue to work together to maintain a healthy marriage. Fans and netizens have reacted to the couple's brief separation, expressing relief that the couple are back together. However, the issue also sparked concern over Fikry and Khalizah's marriage. Many netizens argued that Khalizah may have filed for divorce because the couple had an argument, which left her in an emotional state. This speculation led to criticism that the pair lacked communication skills and that Khalizah didn't share her concerns with her husband before filing the divorce. As such, netizens are now advising the pair to be more proactive and communicate with each other more. It's good that Fikry and Khalizah have worked out their differences. However, we agree with netizens that they need to work on their communication. Nevertheless, we wish all the best for the pair.
