Producer 'vanished,' I won't forgive RM8,000 loss: Wafariena

Actress Wafariena Roslan expressed deep disappointment over a producer and production company allegedly disappearing to evade legal action following injuries she sustained on a film set years ago. The 31-year-old actress stated that despite multiple attempts, including legal channels, to resolve the issue, the case remains at an impasse.

“

I issued a demand letter three times, but suddenly the company vanished. My lawyer went to check and found the company's office empty. Then the producer disappeared. So, nothing can be done.

"I issued a demand letter three times, but suddenly the company vanished," Wafariena said. "My lawyer went to check and found the company's office empty. Then the producer disappeared. So, nothing can be done." She added that their lawyer had engaged with the opposing counsel, who eventually withdrew from the case.

Wafariena shared her lingering regret over having to cover a significant portion of her hospital treatment costs herself due to the injuries. "I paid over RM8,000 of my own money for the treatment at that time. The final payment I was supposed to receive, amounting to tens of thousands of ringgit, also remains unpaid to this day." She declared, "I am not at peace. I do not forgive and cannot yet forgive. I bore the pain and faced all the consequences."

The actress also noted that the horror mini-series involved in the dispute cannot be aired until the production company settles the outstanding claims. "The drama cannot be shown because the matter is not resolved. My voice-over recording is still there. They also haven't settled the final payment to me. That's why this matter is pending. If they air the work, it would be an offense because I have filed a lawsuit," she explained. The incident occurred in 2022 when Wafariena was asked to perform a stunt requiring her to be pulled, simulating being thrown into the air. The production team insisted she perform the stunt herself, rather than using a stunt double as initially planned, leading to internal injuries, including tissue damage to her buttocks and a tear in her abdomen.
