  "account": "Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman and singer Bella Astillah are set to host two community celebrations, known as \"kenduri rakyat,\" in Muar and Kota Kinabalu to mark their marriage on October 10. The couple explained at a press conference that they wished to share the joy of their union with the local communities.\n\nThe villagers were invited to participate in the traditional 'rewang' where they will cook together. Syed Saddiq stated that the attention they received was pointless unless they could share it with everyone. To distribute the items, Bella mentioned that tens of thousands of kilograms of rice, coconut milk, and other essentials provided by the primary sponsors would be handed out to attendees.\n\nThe wedding will take place in Kuala Lumpur on October 10, followed by a formal reception on October 18. The community gatherings are scheduled for October 25 in Muar and October 31 in Kota Kinabalu.",
