  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR – Khairul Aming, the popular entrepreneur and content creator, may have visited London for his mother's long-desired holiday, but an unexpected consequence of his recent post on social media platform Threads has led to a surge of marriage proposals. The 33-year-old shared a humorous \"self-introduction\" on Threads, outlining his skills, such as cooking, childcare, business acumen, and an allergy to shrimp paste. He also clarified that the child in the accompanying photo is not his own.\n\nSome Threads users took advantage of his post, crafting mock introductions for themselves. One woman, a 38-year-old single mother of two, admitted she had been single for 10 years and held two master's degrees. She expressed interest in meeting Khairul, even suggesting her 26-year-old daughter who is a doctor and passionate about cooking, teaching the Quran, and traveling. Another commenter, a 26-year-old single woman from Selangor, offered to work with Khairul and become his partner, provided he approved.\n\nKhairul, however, has not indicated any interest in pursuing potential partners. His London trip, shared on his social media, appears to be focused on spending time with his mother. His friend Kemey also played a role in the trip, jokingly taking charge of the navigation. Despite the unexpected attention from Threads users, the availability of \"Rembayung slots\" remains unknown.",
