KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 10 — Love was in the air high above Kuala Lumpur this morning as Muar MP Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman and singer-actress Bella Astillah officially became husband and wife in a romantic solemnisation ceremony at Merdeka 118.

The couple, affectionately known to fans as BASS — a combination of the initials of their names, Bella Astillah and Syed Saddiq — got engaged on March 28.

They tied the knot in front of family, friends and political heavyweights, becoming the first to hold a wedding ceremony at the iconic skyscraper.

At exactly 10.40am, their marriage was declared sah (valid) after Syed Saddiq presented Bella with a mas kahwin (marriage dowry) of RM500, marking a new chapter in a romance that has captured the attention of Malaysians.
