Actress Faye Kusairi calls out 'Datuk's' company for unpaid campaign work

Actress Faye Kusairi has publicly voiced her frustration over a company, reportedly owned by an individual with the title 'Datuk,' that has yet to settle payment for a campaign project she completed a month prior. The 39-year-old actress, whose full name is Dayangku Faratiwan Adnil Awang Kusairi, stated that she was compelled to speak out due to the company's continued silence and failure to meet their payment obligations.

“

For now, I am still giving them face and do not want to reveal their identities. But if they still don't pay, I will reveal the individual's name and the campaign company's name.

Kusairi clarified that the outstanding payment is not related to any drama series, including her latest work "Bidadari Tanpa Syurga." Instead, it pertains to a specific campaign project that has been finished for a month. She mentioned that the company had apologized and promised to make the full payment by the day she was contacted, but as of Friday afternoon, there had been no communication or settlement.

Adding to the issue, Faye revealed that several fellow artists are also experiencing similar payment delays from the same entity, indicating a broader problem. She is considering escalating the issue, planning to discuss it with artist management before her trip to Brunei and potentially filing a complaint with the National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (FINAS).

Before this, they had apologized and promised to settle the payment by today at the latest. But even after Friday prayers today, they remained silent and gave no answer at all.

While Faye has chosen not to disclose the names of the individual or the company at this stage, she warned that she would reveal them if the payment remains outstanding. This situation highlights ongoing concerns within the Malaysian entertainment industry regarding timely payments for creative work.

After this, I will talk to the artist management to inform them of what happened before I fly to Brunei on Monday. Meanwhile, another actor involved said he wants to go and complain directly to FINAS.
