Ras Adiba condemns unauthorised entry into missing TV host Zalina Azman’s home

Former TV personality Datuk Ras Adiba Radzi has harshly criticized a content creator for unlawfully entering the residence of her missing friend, Zalina Azman, with intentions of producing social media content concerning the disappearance. Ras Adiba emphasized the importance of respecting Zalina's family's privacy, especially her children, who were still seeking answers about her whereabouts.

"While we might be tempted to share information to gain attention, we must also take into account the children's feelings," she stated to Harian Metro.

Ras Adiba implored anyone possessing information about Zalina's disappearance to promptly report it to the police, rather than taking matters into their own hands or stoking further speculation. She noted that unverified claims and assumptions could lead to confusion and exacerbate the family's anxiety as they remain hopeful for news of their loved one. Furthermore, she encouraged anyone with pertinent information to contact her privately or approach the police in order to aid the search for Zalina.

Her primary wish was for Zalina to be found and reunited with her family. She continued to follow up with the police monthly for updates on the case. The Shah Alam police chief, Assistant Commissioner Sarudin Samah, had previously reported that the police would convene with the content creator to gather an explanation following the incident at Zalina's home in Shah Alam and the subsequent social media posts.

Zalina, a former TV3 presenter, had been missing since November 24, 2021, after her son, Mikhael Norman, was unable to reach her when trying to inform her that his father had been admitted to the hospital. Police have maintained their classification of Zalina as a missing person, with no substantiated evidence suggesting her death or departure from the country.

In July 2022, Ras Adiba, alongside her husband and close friends, conducted a search around Shah Alam, including the vicinity of Zalina's home situated in Section 3, Kayangan Roundabout, and the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque. She has also reached out to police, hospital mortuaries, and hospitals in her quest to locate her friend.
