Entrepreneur Datuk Adnan Abu, widely known as Datuk Red, was notably absent from a court hearing concerning a reconciliation case he filed against his former wife, singer Adira Suhaimi. His lawyer, Muhammad Akmal Amzan, informed the Gombak Barat Syariah Court that his client had unavoidable work commitments, refuting claims that Datuk Red was on a honeymoon with his new wife, Rohanita.

Datuk Red is not present. I was informed this morning that he has matters to attend to, but he is not traveling anywhere as stated.

โ€” Muhammad Akmal AmzanDatuk Red's lawyer explained his client's absence from the court hearing.

"Datuk Red is not present. I was informed this morning that he has matters to attend to, but he is not traveling anywhere as stated," Akmal Amzan told reporters. He clarified that Datuk Red was in the vicinity but unable to attend the morning session. The lawyer also mentioned that Datuk Red had previously indicated the possibility of his absence and confirmed it on the morning of the hearing.

The hearing was scheduled for a motion to withdraw the reconciliation case. Akmal Amzan stated that his client's absence would not hinder the proceedings, as he was prepared to represent Datuk Red. The court session, which lasted nearly two hours, was held in private, with Adira Suhaimi present as the defendant, while Datuk Red was absent due to personal matters.

He was in the vicinity but could not come this morning.

โ€” Muhammad Akmal AmzanThe lawyer clarified Datuk Red's location and reason for absence.

Datuk Red filed the motion on December 18, alleging that a reconciliation occurred in May 2024, within the 'iddah' period following their divorce. However, Adira Suhaimi has reportedly denied confirming this reconciliation. Adira, whose full name is Siti Adira Suhaimi, had previously expressed surprise at her ex-husband's actions, stating she was unaware of any confirmed reconciliation. Adira and Datuk Red married on December 3, 2015, with Adira being his second wife. They divorced on April 24, 2024, and have four children together: Anggrek, 7; Asan, 6; Anggun, 5; and Ayob, 3.

It's okay because there is a legal representative, so I can represent him.

โ€” Muhammad Akmal AmzanThe lawyer assured that the proceedings could continue despite his client's absence.
