Malaysian singer and lecturer Dr. Mohamad Fitri Mohamad Haris has firmly denied persistent rumors that he has entered into a second marriage. Fitri clarified that he has only one wife, Fazilah Omar, with whom he shares four children, and stressed that the circulating stories are entirely false.
The matter is untrue. I only have one wife and we are blessed with four children. That's all I can say.
"The matter is untrue. I only have one wife and we are blessed with four children. That's all I can say," Fitri stated during a press conference for the 'Showcase Jiwarasa Nizam Laksamana dan Kawan-Kawan 5.0' event. He expressed bewilderment as to the origin of these rumors, noting that many narratives have been created around the unfounded claims.
Fitri shared his frustration, particularly regarding a viral video that showed him walking hand-in-hand with a woman. He explained that the woman in the video was his 21-year-old daughter, and the footage was taken without his knowledge. This incident, along with previous instances where he was seen carrying a fan's child and was rumored to be the father, has contributed to the persistent speculation.
This is a personal matter, the important thing is that the story about marrying twice is not true. I don't want to comment further because the rumors did not happen and that is not the story.
His wife, Fazilah Omar, who also manages his career, is aware of the rumors and is not surprised, as similar claims have surfaced multiple times. "She is also my manager, who handles all my schedules. She knows my daily activities, where I go, and so on. And she is aware of the story. She is not surprised," Fitri said. Together, they have addressed the misinformation, with his wife assisting in media responses.
She is also my manager, who handles all my schedules. She knows my daily activities, where I go, and so on. And she is aware of the story. She is not surprised.
As a civil servant, Fitri has also filed a report with the authorities to protect his reputation and credibility. He reiterated his stance on accountability, stating he would readily apologize if he had indeed committed any wrongdoing, but stands firm in denying these baseless allegations. He urged for the rumors to cease, questioning the motive behind their continuous spread.
She doesn't get surprised. We resolve it in two ways, in the context of husband and wife, which is to find the truth, and in terms of my career, she helps me a lot in responding to the media.
