Ummi Hafilda to wed beauty therapy specialist soon

Ummi Hafilda Ali, the star witness in the Sodomy I trial, will be marrying beauty therapy specialist Dr Zaman Khan soon.

According to Utusan Malaysia, Zaman Khan, 33, originates from Pakistan and the wedding will be attended by numerous VIPs.

“There are two things that attracts me to Zaman. He is a person who is very dedicated and loving towards his family. As the eldest child, he has never forgotten his responsibilities towards his mother and seven siblings.

“Secondly, he maintains his relationship with God. He performs his prayers. God has instructed us to find a spouse who has looks, strong religious convictions, knowledge and possessions,” said Ummi, who is 45 years old.

Ummi said that Zaman’s presence in her life had brought happiness to her mother, Che Tom Yahaya, who she described as someone who is yearning for her son’s affection.

Although Ummi did not provide specifics, it was likely that she was referring to her elder brother Azmin, who is the PKR deputy president.

Ummi has previously alleged that Azmin has not visited their mother for several years. Typically, such news reports appear during the Aidifiltri celebrations.

She is best remembered for penning a letter, which was signed by four of her siblings, in 1997 to then-prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad to accuse his deputy Anwar Ibrahim of various acts of misconduct.

After Anwar was sacked, Ummi Hafilda was put on the stand as a prosecution witness during the Sodomy I trial. Over the past few years, she has also been active on the BN ceramah circuit.
