KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 8 — Muar MP Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman is officially on the countdown to ending his bachelorhood, with only days remaining before he ties the knot with singer-actress Bella Astillah.

This comes after nearly a year of keeping their relationship under wraps through coy denials and subtle social media posts which culminated in a surprise proposal on top of Mount Kinabalu followed by an engagement on March 28 this year.

As their big day inched closer, more details about their relationship and their wedding have begun to emerge, especially following the premiere of the first episode of the Walimatul Urus Bella Astillah & Syed Saddiq documentary on Tuesday.

The couple has been affectionately dubbed “BASS” by fans, a portmanteau formed from their initials — the “B” and “A” from Bella Astillah, and the “S” and “S” from Syed Saddiq.
