KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian celebrity Siti Nurhaliza Tarudin and her husband, Khalid Mohamad Jiwa, were each given a fine of RM10,000 (US$2,400) for breaching COVID-19 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) during a religious ceremony known as ‘tahnik’ for her newborn baby in April.
PETALING JAYA: Popular singer Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza and her husband have denied claims that the tahnik ceremony for their second child breached Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOP).
In a joint statement, Siti Nurhaliza and Datuk Seri Khalid Mohamad Jiwa explained that the presence of a celebrity preacher did not involve any form of interstate travel. Instead, the individual agreed to attend as he was coincidentally in Kuala Lumpur when the ceremony was held, they said in the statement on Monday (May 3).
Siti Nurhaliza s tahnik ceremony for her son Muhammad Afwa became the subject of controversy after social media users claimed that some prominent guests had breached Covid-19 SOP to attend.
