Singer Ameng Spring has clarified the reasons behind his fractured relationship with his two daughters, emphasizing that it was an unintended consequence of his past imprisonment rather than a personal choice. The 57-year-old artist, whose real name is Wan Aminuddin Wan Ismail, revealed that his bond with his second daughter, Azeva Natassha, 25, suffered significantly due to a decade-long separation.

During his eight-year incarceration, Azeva was still very young, and all forms of contact, including visits and phone calls, were forbidden. This complete lack of communication inevitably led to a breakdown in their family ties. Ameng recounted how Azeva became emotional during rehearsals for the TTMM (Talk To My Manager) 2 program, a sentiment echoed by her older sister, Wan Az Aleesa, who cautioned Azeva against crying on stage to avoid disrupting her performance.

Kakaknya, Wan Az Aleesa, juga kerap mengingatkan supaya dia tidak menangis di pentas kerana bimbang menjejaskan nyanyian.

He sees his role as both a father and a musician, aiming to support his daughter's burgeoning artistic career. The unexpected nature of their reunion on stage, amplified by the presence of Azeva's mother, created a poignant and moving spectacle.
