Amelia Henderson Denies Political Obsession, Hopes to Host PM Anwar Ibrahim

Amelia Henderson, a Malaysian actress and host, has refuted claims that her podcast, Studio Sembang, exhibits an obsession with a particular political party. Henderson clarified that the selection of guests, including former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri and politician Khairy Jamaluddin, was based on their significant profiles and national impact, rather than their political leanings.

"There's no such thing as obsession. They happened to have been part of the Barisan Nasional party, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri was the former Prime Minister, while Khairy Jamaluddin is a multi-talented individual now also involved in the entertainment industry," Henderson stated in response to a video circulating online. She emphasized that she was not paid to invite them and highlighted their undeniable influence as Malaysian citizens.

The host of the show 'Blood Brothers' further expressed openness to inviting figures from different political parties, provided they have a positive impact on the nation. However, she acknowledged that securing guests is challenging and depends on their willingness to participate.

"I would love to feature more guests from different political parties. Believe me, my team and I have contacted many people behind the scenes, but they also need to agree (to attend)," Henderson said. She is currently hoping to feature Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on Studio Sembang and asked fans to wish for this aspiration to be realized.
