KUALA LUMPUR: An estimated crowd of over 10,000 guests gathered in Muar, Johor, this afternoon for the wedding reception of Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman and popular actress Bella Astillah.
Conceived as a kenduri rakyat (people's feast), the grand affair drew well-wishers not only from the local community, but also from across Malaysia — including Perlis, Kedah, Terengganu, Kelantan, Sabah, and Sarawak — as well as neighbouring Singapore.
Although official proceedings were scheduled to begin at 1.30pm at the Yong Sheng Banquet Hall, eager crowds had started lining up as early as 6am.
By the time the newlyweds arrived, a massive, snaking queue had formed under the blazing sun.
