Saipul Pays Tribute To Sudirman And Four Beauties Of Akademi Fantasia
Saipul Bakeri, Malaysian Idol’s cute fifth placer from Kuching, Sarawak is a big fan of the late Sudirman Arshad, Malaysia’s legendary pop king and the country’s equivalent of Freddie Mercury.
Sudirman died after a long illness in 1992, when Saipul was only six. Saipul said that had the pop king lived, he would have loved to meet him.
“I grew up listening to his music. There will never be another Sudirman,” he said.
Saipul is also a fan of Native Pop stars M. Nasir and Yassin Sulaiman.
Saipul also admires Camelia, the beautiful Kuching-born pop star.
She recently paid tribute to him and Nurul (Nurullah) Hamid, the eighth placer of Akademi Fantasia Season Two (AF2), and described them as pop stars with a lot of potential.
On Nurul, Saipul said that it was good to have a fellow Kuching-born in the pop reality show industry, to guide him along the rocky road of stardom.
He said that Nurul was a special friend of his family, and she is perhaps the elder sister he never had.
Saipul has two younger sisters named Nurul, while Nurul has an elder cousin named Saipul.
Nurul and Saipul live a 15-minute drive apart in Petra Jaya, northern Kuching.
He visited her Hari Raya Aidil Fitri open house last year.
Saipul said that Nurul was a loving and caring “kakak” (elder sister), who always gave him strong support, and encouraged him to be brave and to do his best in everything.
Saipul and Nurul have known each other through their participation in talent contests in Kuching over the last few years.
Nurul’s closest friend in AF2, Farah Diana Anuar, is another AF2 singer he greatly admires.
“Farah has a great voice. I’d love to duet with her. She carries herself well, too.
“Farah has the potential to become a great pop star, if she maintains her consistency,” he said.
Saipul paid tribute to Suriati (Atie) Abu Bakar, the 10th placer in Akademi Fantasia Season One (AF1), who recently expressed her love and admiration for him.
Atie, who is an actress, recently said that Saipul had what it takes to become a great entertainer.
She advised him to “stay on the middle path” in coping with fame.
She said that this was Malaysian pop queen Siti Nurhaliza’s advice to her.
“Thanks for your support Kak Atie. You are a great actress and a great friend.”
Atie is a fan of Sudirman. She hails from Janda Baik, near Genting Highlands, the mountain resort where the Malaysian Idol finals was held.
Sudirman hails from Temerloh, and thus shares the state of Pahang with Atie.
Model and actress Azza, who has hosted a cookery show on satellite television station Astro, recently said she admired Saipul’s courage in facing the harsh criticisms of Malaysian Idol judge Roslan Aziz and Paul Moss.
She, too, is a Sudirman fan.
