ACTRESS Zizie Izette has dispelled talk that her late husband – former Kinabatangan MP Bung Moktar Radin – had left her an inheritance of RM1.17bil in a bank account.

“Believe me, nobody would be happier than me and our five children if this money really ­existed,” Kosmo! quoted her as saying.

“I challenge those making such a claim to come forward with proof, including bank statements and account details.”

Zizie, 47, married Bung Moktar in 2009. They have three children besides adopting two others.

Bung Moktar died on Dec 5, 2025, at the age of 66 after suffering kidney failure and a lung infection.

> At just 14kg, 18-year-old Khalisah Damia Abd Kadim is often mistaken for a child.

The girl, who lives in Petaling Jaya, has cerebral palsy (CP) and scoliosis, Harian Metro reported.

Her mother Siti Robaah Mohd Munaf, 56, said that Leesya, as she is known, was born healthy but developed severe jaundice on her fifth day, leading to the CP diagnosis.

“I initially struggled to accept her condition, but eventually came to terms with it,” she said.

Leesya, who is the youngest of six, isn’t able to walk or even crawl. And she could only utter two words – ayah and ibu.

“I have told my husband and other children that they must look after her if I am no longer around one day,” said Siti Robaah, who used to have asthma.

Leesya’s 23-year-old brother Mohamad Zamrin Abd Kadim is a university student who works as a p-hailing rider to pay his tuition fees and help support the family.

He would take turns with his family members to keep an eye on Leesya.

“I will never let her be alone,” he said.
