#SHOWBIZ: Fazley Yaakob proposes to Datuk Seri Vida with custom ring, 1,200 drones

KUALA LUMPUR - Celebrity chef and singer Datuk Fazley Yaakob surprised entrepreneur Datuk Seri Vida with a marriage proposal during the Live 11.11 Mega Shock concert at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. Overwhelmed by the proposal, Vida, 56, accepted three times and expressed gratitude, saying "My answer is yes, yes and yes. Thank you, darling."

The proposal included a custom RM7,000 ring designed by Habib Jewels, shaped like a tiara due to Vida's love for crowns. Fazley had performed two songs, including Vida's favorite, "Di Alam Fana Cinta," before popping the question. The proposal, attended by children from both families, had been planned for two to three weeks, with intensive preparations in the last 14 days.

Fazley explained that the decision to propose during the TikTok concert was due to Vida's strong social media presence, particularly in Malaysia and Singapore. The surprise proposal was sponsored by several parties and cost an estimated RM500,000, covering the drone display, production, and event preparations. The ring symbolized the seriousness of their relationship, addressing speculations about their partnership being a publicity stunt.

Fazley and Vida first gained public attention as contestants in the second season of reality show Talk To My Manager (TTMM 2) in May.
