Siti Nurhaliza's akad nikah captures much attention
The live telecast of the “Wedding of the Year” between Siti Nurhaliza and Datuk Khalid Mohamad Jiwa on Monday caught the attention of many here.
Wherever television sets were switched on, people stopped to watch the akad nikah of Malaysia’s pop princess and her Datuk K. They included shoppers at the Tanjung Rambutan wet market and those at the magistrate’s court here.
Even a group of cleaners, busy making sure that the lobby of the Ipoh City Council was spotlessly clean, stopped in their tracks when a glamorous Siti, dressed in her stunning all-white kebaya, appeared on the large plasma television screen there.
Although not a fan, Ooi Bee Teck, the council’s Chinese language interpreter stationed at the information counter, thought the wedding was special.
“It’s not like everyone’s wedding is shown on television, let alone broadcasted live,” she said.
Those at the council’s Public Relations Department also managed to sneak glimpses of the wedding while carrying out their duties.
Computer graphics intern Arni Hasliza Abdul Aziz, a self-confessed diehard fan of Siti, could hardly contain her admiration for the 27-year-old artiste.
“She was so beautiful and radiant. She looked like a princess. No bride has ever dressed in all-white like her before and the style in which she wore her tudung was so glamorous.
“I’m so sure she is going to start a new trend,” said Arni Hasliza, 24.
Assistant public relations officer Mohd Syahrizal Azmi, 30, exclaimed: “It was indeed the wedding of the year!
The fact that it had been telecast live, he added, meant that Siti had made her fans very happy.
Amir Shah Kamaruddin, 30, a dancer with the council’s entertainment troupe, felt that the couple’s akad nikah ceremony was a grand affair.
“I must confess I’m not a Siti fan but I just couldn’t miss out on watching it.
“Following the akad nikah ceremony, I’m sure people can’t wait till Aug 28 to witness the wedding reception, which is going to be even grander,” he said.
