A visit with a card in hand

Muda president Syed Saddiq and actress-singer Bella Astillah stopped by the home of former deputy prime minister Wan Azizah to hand over their wedding invitation in person.

Two hours of marriage lessons

The courtesy call stretched to nearly two hours, most of it spent on marital advice rather than pleasantries or politics.

Learning the marriage chapter

On Instagram, Syed Saddiq framed the visit as a chance to "berguru bab perkahwinan", going to school on marriage with someone who has lived it publicly for decades.

Malaysia's Compassionate Iron Lady

He called Wan Azizah by that name, pointing to how she held steady as wife, mother and public figure through political storms, family trials and constant scrutiny.
