9 Nov - Former Jinbara vocalist Tia has finally been laid to rest, following news of his passing.

On 9 November, fellow friends including Liza Hanim, Lan Solo, Baggio, Ameng Spring, Baggio, and Ali XPDC were seen at Masjid Kota Raja Muslim Cemetery in Klang, bidding farewell to the beloved rocker, who breathed his last on 8 November at Shah Alam Hospital.

Speaking to the media following the burial, Tia's wife Suzan stated that she is grateful that everything was eased for her throughout the whole ceremony by the members of the mosque.

Tia, real name Shamsul Bakhtiar Zakaria, passed away before his wife was able to amass donations of RM 250,000 for his liver transplant in New Delhi. Suzan previously stated that she would like to donate part of her own liver for her husband's sake, after Tia was diagnosed with liver cancer.

The couple tied the knot in 2009, but have no children together.

Trump says he might demand Panama hand over canal
President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday accused Panama of charging excessive rates for use of the Panama Canal and said that if Panama did not manage the canal in an acceptable fashion, he would demand the U.S. ally hand it over. In an evening post on Truth Social, Trump also warned he would not let the canal fall into the "wrong hands," and he seemed to warn of potential Chinese influence on the passage, writing the canal should not be managed by China. It also underlines an expected shift in U.S. diplomacy under Trump, who has not historically shied away from threatening allies and using bellicose rhetoric when dealing with counterparts.

OPINION - I'm sorry, but this is why I have no sympathy for the woman whose £10,000 handbag was stolen in London
It did not, I have to say, take long for my sympathy for the woman who had her designer handbag stolen from a changing room in Oxford Street to evaporate into thin air. Nothing sums up more the vulgarity of the culture than the fact that it’s now de rigueur for a young woman to flaunt £10,000 worth of designer handbag as a measure of success. As an artefact, the Hermes JPG Shoulder Birkin, in red is an attractive piece; it’s well made and an intelligent take on the original designed for Jane Birkin.
