  "account": "A viral video has surfaced of a pushy guest grabbing singer-actress Bella Astillah at her wedding reception in Muar, Johor. The 32-year-old actress, whose real name is Dayang Nabellah Awang Astillah, was greeting guests with her husband, Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, 33, at their grand celebration on October 18. In the clip, a woman unexpectedly grabbed Bella by the back of her neck and pulled her for a cheek kiss. Social media users quickly expressed their anger, deeming the woman's behavior deeply rude and unsafe for the petite star. One netizen commented, \"I don't think this kind of behavior should ever be normalized. Even if you intend to kiss someone on the cheek, you must understand boundaries and respect their personal space.\" Another user wrote, \"It's not funny at all. Learn some basic etiquette when attending someone's event, especially when you're enjoying a free meal.\" Concerned fans have urged the couple to enhance security at their next wedding reception in Sabah to prevent a similar incident. They believe Bella should have bodyguards around her and that guests should not crowd her, especially considering her small stature. Netizens have strongly condemned the woman's actions as tactless and not cute.",
