#SHOWBIZ: Actor-director M Jamil sets terms for divorce, eyes final marriage journey
SUBANG JAYA: Veteran actor and director M Jamil has declared his willingness to grant his wife, Sharila Markom, a divorce once ongoing discussions regarding the custody of their two young daughters are fully resolved.
Veteran actor and director M Jamil, 62, has agreed to grant his wife, Sharila Markom, a divorce while the custody battle over their two young daughters is settled. The proceedings in the Gombak Timur Lower Syariah Court are set for September 28, with legal representation already engaged. Jamil expressed no issue with divorcing Sharila, stating the main problem is their lack of communication since she left their home in December.
Despite the marital dissolution, Jamil remains open to the prospect of remarrying, ideally for a life companion to share his days with. He prefers a single mother with no children, as he already has 11 children. Jamil has saved money to perform the haj pilgrimage next year with his current wife, but those plans have changed. He hopes to fulfill that sacred journey with a future spouse.
A stroke and a recent leg amputation due to diabetes complications have affected his health. Jamil lives with his two daughters in Subang Jaya, awaiting the distribution of inherited family land in Pahang, where he plans to build a home with a future partner.
