Malaysian singer Atilia Haron shared her disappointment after some friends requested complimentary tickets for her upcoming concert. The 52-year-old artist revealed that the requests came after she personally reached out to old acquaintances via WhatsApp to promote the event, which is scheduled for September 19.
Atilia, whose full name is Raja Putri Atilia Raja Haron, expressed her sadness over the situation, emphasizing that friends should ideally offer support rather than ask for freebies. She had sent out concert posters and other details to her contacts in an effort to generate ticket sales and build excitement for the show.

Sad, friends should be supportive.
