M'sians Left Stunned As Datuk Fazley Proposes To Datuk Seri Vida With 1,200 Drones Over KLCC

If you were near the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) area last night, you may have noticed an elaborate drone display lighting up the sky.

As it turns out, the spectacle was part of singer Datuk Fazley Yaakob's marriage proposal to celebrity entrepreneur Datuk Seri Vida.

According to reports, the extravagant proposal involved 1,200 drones creating various images and messages in the sky. Fazley reportedly spent three weeks preparing for the event, which cost approximately RM500,000 and was sponsored by several parties.

The 55-year-old Vida, whose real name is Hasmiza Othman, admitted she had absolutely no idea the romantic surprise was coming. The proposal unfolded in the presence of both her children and Fazley's children.

Vida shared that she did not suspect a thing, as the pair had not seen each other for nearly three days despite both being in Kuala Lumpur.

"Actually, I hadn't had an appetite for two days because I hadn't seen Dida (Fazley). I had been in Kuala Lumpur for two days, yet he didn't come to see me at all, giving the excuse that he was busy."

She described the gesture as a "proposal from heaven" and revealed that she was so overwhelmed by emotion that she nearly fainted.

Beyond the drone show, Fazley also presented Vida with an exclusive custom-made tiara-shaped ring worth RM7,000.

Their romance began with a setup by their children

According to Fazley, he chose the drone display to create an unforgettable moment for Vida while leaving a lasting memory for their children.

Although he admitted that organising the proposal was no easy feat, he said Vida is an extraordinary woman who deserved an equally extraordinary gesture.

"This proposal is also for the children. I discussed it with all of them, including Kacak and Cik B. I see them as Generation Z. If we did an ordinary proposal, perhaps the memory wouldn't last."

"I wanted them to have a memory they can pass down to their own children and grandchildren. So, I combined what I wanted for Vida with something the children could appreciate, and that's how the drone idea was born," he shared.

While Fazley said he had considered every possible outcome, he was especially touched when Vida first sought her children's approval.

Vida and Fazley first sparked public interest after appearing together in the second season of the reality programme Talk To My Manager.

Their romance blossomed after Vida's daughter, Cik B, and Fazley's eldest son, Fariedz Fazley (better known as Payish), playfully arranged a meeting for them at a Japanese restaurant.

Fazley was previously married to Azrene Soraya Abdul Aziz for 18 years before their divorce in October 2024. Meanwhile, Vida has been married three times, with her most recent marriage to Fairuz Ahmad Zainuddin ending in April 2017 after three years together.

More than just social media content

Both Vida and Fazley have yet to set a wedding date, although the couple plan to tie the knot next year.

For now, Vida said they intend to focus on their businesses, particularly year-end sales campaigns, while enjoying each stage of their relationship without rushing into marriage.

Meanwhile, Fazley hopes the proposal will put to rest speculation surrounding the authenticity of their relationship.

"I want people to know our relationship is not just social media content or marketing. Many have asked whether we are genuinely in love or already married. So, this is the answer to all those questions."

He added, "I still hold fast to tradition. The first step is proposing properly while following customs, but in a Generation Z style. We are not engaged. We have not gone through the merisik stage yet. There are still several ceremonies to go through before the wedding reception. Please pray that everything goes smoothly, insya-Allah."
