SINGER Marsha Milan enjoys living with her mother-in-law and feels comfortable with the living arrangement since getting married, reported Kosmo!.
The Sabah-born celebrity said it enabled her and her husband –Mohamed Shaiful Nizam Mohamed Ismail, whom she married in 2015 – to look after her.
“Over time I was able to adapt. If I stay with my husband alone, maybe I will be lonely. Sometimes I need someone to be at home after returning from outstation and I know my husband is also taken care of if I go out to work.
“Perhaps not everyone can live with their mother-in-law, I understand. I’m fine and comfortable. My father-in-law is gone, so it’s better that we take care of each other,” said the hitmaker.
Marsha also said that she was uncomfortable when a video of her in-laws’ residence was shared by an acquaintance on social media recently.
The now-deleted video tour, which featured a luxury three-storey bungalow with various facilities such as a swimming pool and a mini cinema, became the subject of public scrutiny – with some accusing Marsha of showing off.
> An 11-year-old girl with a large birthmark covering her face considers it a gift from God and refuses to get rid of it totally despite being taunted and called names, reported Harian Metro.
Nuraneesa Umairah Mohamad Isa said while she accepted it as a gift from God to make her unique and different from others, she did not deny that she still feels sad and embarrassed when people make fun of her.
“Maybe in this world people see me as not cute but it’s okay. In heaven, I’ll be beautiful.
“I had surgery to remove my birthmark but I told my mummy that I didn’t want to remove all of them because this is what God gave me and if I remove all of them, I will not have my original appearance.
“If people want to insult me, let them, I have forgiven them,” she said.
Her mother, Nazira Mohamed Samsuri, 37, said Nuraneesa Umairah is a strong child who forgives and does not hold grudges against others despite them taunting her.
Nazira said although the examination found that the birthmark on her face was harmless, they decided to gradually remove it due to the doctor’s advice.
