My heart felt heavy upon hearing the official closure of Blu Inc Media – a publishing company that I grew up with in my 15 years of entertainment career. The magazine editors, writers, photographers and stylists extraordinaire were not only major contributors to Malaysia’s fashion journalism but over the years, have also become my family. Their magazines were breeze of fresh air with pages upon pages of stylish, breath-taking contents that made many of us look forward to the next monthly issues. I observed that their magazines were game-changers in Malaysian fashion publication scene, setting different standards in many aspects for so many others. It is with tremendous amount of love and gratitude, I would like to thank each and everyone of you at Blu Inc Media for your talent, passion, contribution, ideas, kindness, love and friendship we have been blessed with. This is not goodbye. I believe that there are bigger plans beyond the horizon and I look forward to many great things from all of you in the near future. We shall all look forward to the brighter days ahead! Looking back at some of my best covers with my favorite magazines – I can proudly say I’ve been so lucky to have worked with such amazingly badass beings! Lots of LOVE! ???✨✨✨

Yup. That’s 26 year old me on my first Blu Inc Cover for @femalemag. Since then, I’ve done a few more covers through the years, my last one being just last July for @glammalaysia. I’ve literally grown up with these magazines and the wonderful people that work tirelessly behind the scenes to make beautiful things happen. Thank you Blu Inc for the constant love and support through the years, which I will always be grateful for. You will never be forgotten. Ever. ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you Blu Inc Media Malaysia for giving this girl her chance to explore fashion- I literally evolved from being a shy lil DIY indie rock chick to an international artist, and you guys were always the first to show love and support whenever I achieve something – anything local & overseas, giving me endless opportunities to grace your front covers throughout my career. This makes me very sad that we have to say goodbye, but I believe in new beginnings. Sending my love & positive vibes to all the Blu Inc magazines & their writers who believed in my story, my music, my crazy dream to becoming an international artist when no one was listening, my weird turban when no one was wearing it.. some fashion magazines wouldn’t even put a hijabi on the cover back then! And ofcourse- those who became my friends after working together at photoshoots. These are hard times- Give me a call if you need anything, we must never stop creating. ❤️ @glammalaysia @ehmalaysia @marieclairemalaysia @femalemag @cleomsia ❤️

It’s taken me a day to fully grasp what has happened, and allow my thoughts to settle. I am still utterly lost for words. What can I say? You are defined by those that support you, and Blu Inc have continued to do so through my career. I owe so much to you all. The end of a truly beautiful and extraordinary era. I would like to send my prayers and best wish to my lovely friends in Blue Inc who have been the pillars of the media industry in Malaysia. Thank you for shaping this nation and for being captains of our industry. Onwards and upwards my friends, the future is bright Inshallah. Thank you once again.
