Royal couple's marital affair is personal: Kelantan palace

KUALA LUMPUR, Sat: The Kelantan palace has reiterated that the marriage of Tengku Temenggong Kelantan, Tengku Muhammad Fakhry Sultan Ismail Petra and Cik Puan Manohara Odelia Pinot is a personal matter.

In a statement to Bernama here today, Royal Palace Coordinator Datuk Abdul Halim Hamad said that as such, it had nothing to do with the Sultan of Kelantan, Sultan Ismail Petra Ibni Almarhum Sultan Yahya Petra, Regent of Kelantan Tengku Muhammad Faris Petra, who is also the Crown Prince, and the Kelantan Sultan's Office.

Abdul Halim said the statement was issued as instructed by Tengku Muhammad Faris.

"It is hoped that the issue will be resolved fairly according to the law. I hope both of them will be given enough space to solve their problems," he said.

This is the first time the Kelantan palace has issued a statement on the marriage after Manohara ran away from the prince last month, upon returning from Singapore where the couple had gone to visit the Sultan who was recovering from a heart ailment at the Mount Elizabeth Hospital.

The issue of the marriage was sensationalised by the media, especially in Indonesia. Manohara, a former Indonesian model, has filed for divorce while her husband lodged a police report, denying allegations made against him by his wife and her mother, Daisy Fajarina.

Meanwhile, Abdul Halim said that the Sultan, who was still receiving treatment at the Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore, was in stable condition.

He said all members of the royal family were also in Singapore.

He also urged the public to pray for the recovery of the Sultan and all issues involving the Kelantan palace to be resolved. -- BERNAMA

I rasa this is most appropriate of the Istana Kelantan in handling this matter. It is highly commendable. Istana Kelantan memang cool. Memang kes ni being sensationalised at its worst.

Personally, I will pray for the speedy recovery of the Sultan and for this particular matter to be resolved in the most appropriate way.

A Smart Move

Kelantan prince orders estranged wife to return by July 2

PETALING JAYA: The Tengku Temenggong of Kelantan Tengku Muhammad Fakhry Sultan Ismail Petra has ordered his estranged wife Manohara Odelia Pinot to return to him by July 2, failing which he will proceed with legal action.

Stating that he was her lawful husband under Syariah law, he said Manohara’s rightful place was by his side and that she should obey him as long as it was according to the law.

Tengku Muhammad Fakhry said this to Manohara in a letter that was passed to his lawyer in Indonesia to be forwarded to her.

A copy of the letter was also sent as a press release to the media by his lawyer Zainul Rijal Abu Bakar here yesterday.

Tengku Muhammad Fakhry’s letter further read that he had engaged Zainul Rijal as his Syariah lawyer and Mohd Haziq Pillay as his civil lawyer.

Manohara, 17, a former Indonesian teen model, had fled from her husband on May 31 when they were in Singapore to visit his father, the Sultan of Kelantan, who was being treated at the Mount Elizabeth Hospital for a heart ailment.

She returned to Jakarta after accusing the 31-year-old prince of abusing her physically and sexually.

A medical examination in Jakarta allegedly stated she was repeatedly slashed with sharp objects on her chest and had been burnt with a cigar on her forehead.

Manohara had previously said she wanted to divorce her husband. Tengku Muhammad Fakhry lodged a police report on June 11 against her allegations.

sebenarnya i kalau boleh tanak comment apa-apa pasal issue ni. i setuju dengan pendapat bahawa ini isu suami-isteri between Tengku Fakhry dan Manohara. Tapi lately dah makin melampau juga dan contradictory tuduhan-tuduhan sebelah sana pada Tengku Fakhry ni.

first thing yang buat i geram, was their actions naming Al-Sultan Kelantan yang sedang gering tu sebagai one of the defendants. ada ke patut, orang tengah sakit nak di bother nya.. pula yang tengah sakit tu a State Ruler yang belum tentu ada salah kat dia. dan yang best sekali ada pula video clip Manohara buat statement yang dia 'kurang tau' involvement Tuanku Sultan dalam kes dia ni.

secondly, i tengok argument dia dah melampau-lampau sangat. and contradicting everytime. macam ada satu instance dia kata dia kena dera menggunakan seterika di dahi at a certain date. tapi at that date and the days after that dia punya public appearance tak ada lak bekas cop seterika kat muka dia. to this, i suka nak say something, ayat yang selalu i gunakan untuk orang-orang yang 'perasan cerdik' ni : JUST BECAUSE YOU think YOU'RE SMART, JANGAN INGAT ORANG LAIN TAK PANDAI. Kan dah last-last statement sendiri belit leher sendiri.

itu baru sikit aje, tak perlu la disenaraikan accusations dia yang lain-lain. they are so ridiculous in such a way that daripada I nak ketawakan dia, sampai jatuh kesian pula menengokkan betapa teruknya level of thinking dia...

Referring to the above news report, I think that's a smart move by Tengku Temenggong. Biarlah segalanya diselesaikan dengan ikut procedures dan in a proper and noble way. I tak rasa dia long for his so-called wife to return sangat pun.. I wish him all the best and I hope he will move forward after all these dah selesai.

APOLOGIES

Kan ku tahan apa hukuman
Di hati hanya berdoa
Biar aku cium tangan mu
Sekali lagi bersama

My New Song

Goodbye My Lover

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

Merry Xmas and Happy Birthday

To my readers who celebrate Christmas today, Have A Joyful Christmas with your loved ones.

Tak Taulah...

Yang ni plak, tak taulah nak kata apa dah... BADLY DETERIORATING kot... kehkehkehkeh :p

~ AMPUNKAN KAMI PENUNGGU GUA ~

That's Why He Is My Hero...

He made the mistake of leaving his pit before it was safe to do so, resulting in a pit crew being injured. His Drivers' Championship is at stake. His car had an engine failure in lap 46 at European GP in Valencia today. But he did not hesitate in the slightest to admit that it was his mistake :

Quoted from The Official Formula One Website :

“I made a mistake and left before I should have done,” he said. “Fortunately, Pietro is not too badly hurt. I wish him all the best and hope he gets better soon. In any case, it would not have changed anything as then the engine broke. Now we must concentrate on preparing for the next rounds and on improving our qualifying performance."

And that is why Kimi Raikkonen is my hero. He is highly professional and is not afraid to admit his mistakes. Unlike some people who would blame others and engaged into a fight in the same situation. Kimi has an obvious resemblance to a certain someone.

And Wave alone knows.

Voice and Sexiness

Interestingly, I found this in Yahoo page. I had a rather interesting and heated discussion with Him the other day on a quite related subject.

I haven't got the time to ponder on this article and the related ones. But I will read it thoroughly later.

Sexy People Sound Better

So, Hon, I am right! :p

How On Earth..

~ Dedicated to a man with the truest definition of a man ~

I just do not care how many times I have posted this vc. 'Tis my blog and so it is.. sukatila kan. Hehehehe.. yes, I just love this one.

Thankful

I wanna say that I am most thankful for everything that has been granted.. esp when my prayers are answered. Praise be to Allah.

Dan rasanya, that is a strong statement. Paham kot.. tak kisahlah betul ke tak, yang penting kita ni ada vision sendiri. Janji tak kacau sesiapa sudahlah... I could say I am happy and content and thankful for what I have now. For being with my family, for having a wonderful niece, dan segala macam benda yang I am thankful for. Memanglah there are times the path was not that easy, but hey, that's life. And I am still thankful.

Oh, and I am most thankful for Kimi, who would be racing in Turkey this Sunday *wink*.

So, if you ask me, my answer would be, yes, I am thankful. Okay?
