Syed Saddiq, Bella Astillah pay courtesy visit to wan azizah with wedding card in hand

On September 15, Muda president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman and actress-singer Bella Astillah paid a courteous visit to the home of former Deputy Prime Minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail. In their hands were a wedding invitation and the warm thanks of the recipient, who provided the pair with nearly two hours of matrimonial wisdom.

The Instagram update from Syed Saddiq called the meeting an opportunity to "berguru bab perkahwinan" with the former DPM, whom he affectionately dubbed "Malaysia's Compassionate Iron Lady." Wan Azizah's lifelong journey, marked by political trials, family challenges and public scrutiny, was a focal point for the couple. The visit was light-hearted and devoid of political intent, as the pair entered bearing their wedding card, which elicited laughter and warmth.

Syed Saddiq expressed gratitude for Dr Wan Azizah's guidance, stating it would be a constant companion in their married life. The post quickly captured public affection, with comments highlighting Bella's growth and the high-profile nature of her guest list. Wan Azizah's humility and strength were lauded, with some comparing her to a model of integrity and compassion.

Some even jokingly noted that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, nicknamed PMX, had finally received the wedding invitation he had anticipated. The commenters wished the couple well, hoping for a smooth path to their big day, and expressed excitement to see another anticipated celebrity-political wedding unfold in the year.
