Meet & Greet + friendly match with Bella Astillah & YB Syed Saddiq 

Bella hails from Sandakan and is a singer, actress, and model. She is known for her role as Qaisara in Cinta Belum Tamat Tempoh and her singles Tenang, Pano, and Lebih Indah Berpisah.

Syed Saddiq is a politician who is arguably the best looking in the country (*cough cough*), co-founder of the Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (MUDA), and the country’s youngest-ever federal minister, known for championing youth empowerment.

What’s better than a fun match up on the mountain? Why, a match with the duo, who are now frequently referred to as BASS, a portmanteau of their initials. They have made numerous joint appearances at social events, and Syed Saddiq even featured in the music video for Bella's song, "Tapi Bukan Denganmu."

This is your once-in-a-lifetime chance to hit the court with Bella Astillah and YB Syed Saddiq in a fun, friendly pickleball match. Limited spots available. Secure your wristband, join the crowd, and get ready for a lucky pick that could put you face-to-face with your idols.
