Bukan sahaja praktikal untuk memasak, tetapi generasi masa depan keluarga sudah pasti akan terhibur dengan rasa bergaya mereka di dapur.

Pasangan ibu dan anak, Hot Chicks (Farahdhiya & Puan Aishah) berjaya mendominasi episod kedua dengan dua hidangan menu berasaskan aneka tepung iaitu ‘Tepung Bunga & Teh Masala’ untuk menu pertama dan ‘Mufin Coklat Bueno’ untuk menu kedua di mana kedua-dua kumpulan telah melalui cabaran ‘Tukar Stesen’. Arahan untuk menukar stesen memasak yang diumumkan di pertengahan sesi ketika mereka telah membancuh bahan masakan itu telah menerima rungutan daripada kedua-dua pasangan peserta. Walaupun meluahkan rasa ketidakpuasan hati mereka, para peserta terus bertenang untuk menghabiskan menu pihak lawan dengan sedikit kelainan dalam cara menghiasi persembahan juadah mereka.

Menjadi salah satu pasukan yang bertarung di Dapur Tempur Ra-Ra tidak membataskan pasangan adik-beradik ini melaram di dapur! Pasangan selebriti serba boleh kali ini adalah The Sizzling Sisters, Datin Seri Umie Aida dan adiknya Betty Rahmad yang menyahut cabaran untuk bertempur dengan penuh gaya.

Berasaskan tema aneka buah kurma yang jarang digunakan di dalam sesuatu resipi dan juga cabaran ‘Simpul Kasih’ istimewa minggu ini, dapatkah para peserta menonjolkan kreativiti mereka dalam masakan dan mencuri perhatian para juri?

Seorang pemuzik terkenal di negara ini, Hael Husaini telah kembali dengan lagu terbarunya, “Bintang.” Keinginan pengikut setia Hael, yang sering bertanya tentang lagunya yang mengharukan, telah diredakan dengan berkesan dengan kehadirannya dengan lagu terbaru yang telah disimpan selama 13 tahun!

Lagu Bintang merupakan lagu pertama Hael Husaini bekerjasama dengan TV3 dan Alternate Records Sdn Bhd. Bintang merupakan salah satu karya terbaik daripada Hael dan inilah peluang yang dilihat sesuai untuk mengetengahkan melodi serta lirik lagu ini yang menyentuh hati setelah lebih sedekad menyimpannya. Lebih menarik, Lagu Bintang ini dipilih sebagai runut bunyi drama Bintang kerana ia mempunyai jalan cerita yang hampir sama dengan drama Bintang sendiri yang telah ditayangkan di Slot Lestary TV3 bermula 6 April ini.

Lagu ‘Bintang’ ini sangat istimewa kerana merupakan hasil kreatif Hael sendiri sebagai penulis lirik dan juga komposer. Drama bersiri Bintang terbitan Country Universal ini merupakan arahan Nizam Zakaria dan menampilkan pelakon yang kian meningkat nama di persada seni iaitu Daniel Fong, Ruhainie dan Keith Foo.

Bintang mengisahkan tentang hubungan antara Iris (Ruhainies) dan Thirak (Daniel Fong) yang terpisah dari zaman persekolahan dan hubungan mereka tidak direstui oleh ibu bapa Iris. Beberapa tahun kemudian, mereka bertemu semula setelah kematian orang tua Iris. Dugaan mendatang apabila Mustafa (Keith Foo) muncul merebut cinta Iris. Adakah hubungan antara Iris dan Thirak masih bersinar seperti bintang?

Menurut Hael Husaini, ”Saya berharap lagu Bintang ini memberi makna yang istimewa kepada semua pendengar dan dapat menilai apa erti bintang kepada insan yang istimewa seperti orang yang kita sayangi. Bintang juga menggambarkan sepasang kekasih yang sentiasa ada bersama namun diuji dengan perpisahan antara dua dunia yang berbeza. Saya berterima kasih kepada semua pendengar yang sentiasa menyokong saya kerana tanpa mereka saya tidak mungkin berada dalam industri seni tanah air sehingga kini.”

Sejak Bintang dilancarkan di platform digital dan diperdengarkan kepada para pendengar, rata-rata peminat Hael Husaini sangat teruja dengan lagu yang dikatakan sebagai ‘award winning material’ dan dibanjiri dengan komen-komen positif lain seperti:

• Dengar lagu macam ini dah feels sama dengan KDrama OST
• Bangun pagi confirm mata bengkak sembab
• Nice cover art
• Ok ini….loveee
• Hael can defeat any genre
• Been waiting for this song

Jangan lupa untuk dengarkan Bintang di semua platform digital bermula 4 April 2023. Untuk maklumat yang lebih lanjut tentang Alternate Records & Talents, lawati YouTube rasmi di Alternate Records & Talents dan Instagram @alternate.my_

TV3 dan Alternate Records & Talents Sdn.Bhd teruja dengan kolaborasi sebegini dan berharap lebih ramai artis terkenal dan prolifik negara akan bekerjasama dengan kita di masa hadapan melalui runut bunyi  drama drama tayangan TV3 yang pastinya terbaik.

Ini adalah rezeki yang tidak disangka sangka, sejujurnya saya tidak pernah terfikir untuk berkarya serta menyanyikan lagu ciptaan bersama komposer hebat seperti Mel Ramlan yang pernah membuat lagu untuk artis ternama seperti Aizat  Amdan & Fattah Amin.

“Terima kasih kepada pihak AEG kerana sudi melamar saya menjadi artis naungan mereka dan  terutamanya kepada Dato’ KK Chua yang nampak dan juga percaya dengan bakat yang saya miliki,”  kongsi Mierul Hazly yang kini sedang menjalani latihan praktikal sebagai seorang guru di salah sebuah  sekolah rendah sekitar Sepang.

Pelantun suara untuk single DENGAN BISMILLAH ini yang dulunya pernah mewakili Negeri Sembilan  dalam pertandingan nasyid kebangsaan semasa berusia 17 tahun ini, berazam untuk membantu  keluarga dengan menceburi pelbagai bidang termasuklah bidang perniagaan selain ingin mengorak  Langkah dengan mencuba Nasib dalam bidang seni suara tanahair.

“Bermula dengan membuat “cover” lagu di platform social media seperti Instagram, Tiktok, Youtube  dan Twitter, saya juga aktif mencuba Nasib di dalam beberapa pertandingan nyanyian sekitar Lembah  Klang dan juga Negeri Sembilan. Pengalaman yang tidak dapat dilupakan adalah Ketika saya diberi  peluang untuk mewakili Negeri Sembilan dalam pertandingan Nasyid Kebangsaan di usia 17 tahun.  Seterusnya, peluang terbuka luas apabila saya menghantar video nyanyian saya ke Armani  Entertainment, dipanggil untuk ujibakat tertutup dan akhirnya rezeki tertulis bersama Armani  Entertainment” jelas Mierul Hazly.

“DENGAN BISMILLAH” adalah sebuah lagu cinta berirama “modern pop ballad”. Sebuah lagu yang  menceritakan tentang doa dan harapan seseorang tentang jodoh dan masa depan mereka. Doa dalam  lagu yang merayu dan meminta kepada Tuhan supaya diberikan pasangan hidup yang baik. Diberikan  seseorang yang sanggup berkorban dan bertanggungjawab, jatuh dan bangun perhubungan. Ribut  dan badai, hujan dan panas, susah dan senang, walau apa dugaanNya, Mereka tetap bersama hingga  ke hujung nyawa dan syurga hendakNya. 

“Proses rakaman ini memakan masa selama 1 jam, tetapi panduan lagu sudah diberikan sebulan awal oleh komposer kerana saya perlu mendalami rasa serta vokal yang dikehendaki agar meresap ke  dalam jiwa apabila dinyanyikan. Saya juga menyumbang dalam bentuk lirik dan gubahan juga supaya  ada sedikit suntikan jiwa saya dalam lagu ini” ujarnya.

Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad (Bank Islam) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Persatuan Syarikat Pengendalian Pelancongan Bumiputera Malaysia (BUMITRA) to provide financial solutions for prospective hajj pilgrims who intend to subscribe to hajj packages through 22 Pengelola Jemaah Haji (PJH) companies appointed by Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH), which are also members of BUMITRA.

The MoU also aims to affect a partnership and knowledge-sharing session educating BUMITRA members on financing solutions Bank Islam provides, especially for Hajj and  Umrah. The collaboration area includes disseminating information regarding the facilities  and services offered.

Among the services include Debit Card-i Bank Islam Visa Tabung Haji. The debit card has  various unique features and exclusive rewards for cardholders. Besides offering a vast  payment network and cash access worldwide, the card facilitates financial transactions  for hajj pilgrims in Arab Saudi, including waiving the charges for cash withdrawals during  hajj season.

At the event, Bank Islam also launched a campaign, ‘Once in a Lifetime’, especially for  potential Hajj or next of kin who want to help parents to perform Hajj by applying for this  personal financing with a minimum amount of RM50,000. The campaign runs from 24  March to 31 May 2023 and offers a chance to win Umrah package prizes.

The personal financing package provides an opportunity for prospective Hajj pilgrims  who can repay the financing in a structured manner according to their respective  financial capabilities.

Mohd Muazzam said, “Since the cost of the Hajj package is increasing due to external  factors, the personal financing offered is timely to enable more Muslims who can fulfil the  5^th pillar of Islam.”

“Meanwhile, Bank Islam’s role is not only limited to a financial solution hub for pilgrims but  will be expanded comprehensively to more than 600 tourism companies registered under  BUMITRA and their customers,” Mohd Muazzam adds.

Apart from Personal Financing products and Bank Islam Tabung Haji Visa Debit Card-i,  Bank Islam, as a hub of financial solutions for pilgrims, also offers other products such as  the Al-Awfar investment account, credit card-i, takaful protection products, will-writing,  online and mobile banking facilities and foreign currency exchange at Bank Islam’s  ‘Bureau de Change’ counter. With the existence of these benefits, it is in line with Bank  Islam’s aspiration, which is ‘Urusan Dipermudah, Lebih Tenang Beribadah’.

The MoU was signed by Mizan Masram, Group Chief Business Officer – Retail, Bank Islam  Group and BUMITRA and AB Rahman Mohd Ali, BUMITRA’s Honorary Secretary General.  Mohd Muazzam Mohamed, Bank Islam Group Chief Executive Officer; Harun KC Ahmmu,  President of BUMITRA and Mohamed Ameen S.M.A Abdul Wahab, Executive Director  Operations, TH Group Operations Division, witnessed the signing.
