What was Linda Rafar thinking?

Camus's picture

The issue of her picture with Edry surfaced years ago, and the public has mostly forgotten about it. Her recent police report trying to block Skandal Melayu website from publishing her allegedly doctored photos is back-firing. Police now looking into investigating the genuineness of those sensational photos. That was really stupid of her.

Anybody here hasn't seen the pics?

jimY's picture

Re:What was Linda Rafar thinking?

I have seen the pics. Kichi has too :P

Anyway, I think this sudden resurrection of the water under the bridge may have been the post-traumatic experience she's experiencing after the recent divorce?

Re:What was Linda Rafar thinking?

With all the publicity, I would at least hope she and her sister could sell more of their album. Poor gal.

Re:What was Linda Rafar thinking?

I couldn't help it Jimy. The news made headline which I tend to skim thru from time to time. :)

Plus I'm a big fan of her as well! Kekekeke.

Re:What was Linda Rafar thinking?

Call me sceptical but don't you think that this new "scandal" is timed perfectly to coincide with the release of her new album? After all, any publicity (even negative one) is good for the sales of the album. :?

Keluar in the papers today a teacher in Kuantan kena angkat by the cops. People did questioned that the photos were doctored...... hmmmm

Re:What was Linda Rafar thinking?

I have seen the pics long time ago, masa study kat US dulu. Frankly, I don't think the picture was doctored, it looked too real.

That's what I though so, if it was that person must be very good. Now, dia dah pandai sangat naik kan the issue, the police wants to check if it was doctored...... well, knowing them sure lepas punya.

Re:What was Linda Rafar thinking?

the topic shouldn't be "what was linda rafar thinking?", rather it should be "linda rafar wasn't thinking at all", but of course, i'm referring to the first issue, which was about her taking those photos in the first place.

i've said it before, and i'll say it again: run-on sentences are cool (despite what your english professor will say)!

whatever it is, those pictures aren't doctored, if you ask me. but i think linda and edry were playing doctor doctor, sans clothes hehe.

Sheryl ... I think that the pictures are real becuse if you look at the whole range of pictures, they are very difficult to fake. Suffice to say, just look at her locket - to me difficult to fake. Si Edry tu pun I rasa genuine tapi in his case tak banyak sgt gamber muka dia ... only of his penis.

I honestly don't know why this issue surfaces 'cept maybe to coincide with the release of her album. Maybe she thought she can be exonerated once and for all.

Jimy, ttg tak reti nyanyi ni, kan banyak artis yg. tak reti nyanyi - tengok sajalah "na na na na nana ke?" just to name one. Another one tu tak payah mention nama tapi suffice to say she made a living telling aspiring singers how to sing and how bad their voices are. ("Soooo stuck up!" Ingat tak?) Nasib baik lagu dia boleh tahan sedap.

sheryl1188's picture

Re:What was Linda Rafar thinking?

Yup, agree with u on the matter on her locket.. it's real wht...

On the matters of singers nowadays who can't really sing, and some even can't sing live at all.. alah, dah berlambak pun... take a very good e.g on the all girl group, elite. In the album punye laa gempak abis their voice. Bila nyanyi live, ALAHMAK oii... rasa mcm nak lari pegi batu belah batu bertangkup jer... tak sanggup seh! Hancusss..
So far the best singers in m'sia frm my point of view are like siti, ning, sheila majid, dayang, anuar zain, ziana, nora, zainal abidin, m.nasir... salute to all of them!

Re:What was Linda Rafar thinking?

Hmm, betui jugak. Setakat beli rumah 100-200K pun loyar2 ni dah dpt RM10K from your S&P and loan agreement. Inikan pulak saman malu RM10 million.

About media cetak, I was at LRT station Bandaraya tadi, and I saw buncha kids trying to sell Kosmo (Utusan's tabloid size), clearly showing off the front page headline, "Sharifah Aini Didakwa di Mahkamah"

Jimy, FYI for a house of RM100,000.00, we lawyers only get RM1,000.00 legal fees for SPA. Loan Agreement pun sama RM1,000.00 plus about RM100-200 for each extra document that we prepare. The rest are all disbursements (incl govt tax 5%) which do not go to us but are payments made out to various parties (e.g. stamping, registration etc.). In case you are interested to know, the biggest item in the bill is not our legal fees (as you may think) but the stamp duty which doesn't go to us but to the govt.

For a house of RM200,000.00, you only pay us RM1,500.00 legal fees plus the rest are disbursements. Anything below RM100,000.00 we only charge 1% legal fees. Dahlah tu, everytime we present our Bill to clients mintak discount. Bila kita explain yg. Bar Council doesn't allow discounts, mulalah make statements like lawyers getting rich, menindas oranglah etc. etc. etc.

FYI the scale fees are set out in the Solicitors Remuneration Order so I wish that you would consult the SRO before making statements like the above because I certainly can't recall in my many years of practice anyone charging RM10K for a purchase of a RM100-200K house. Kalau ada lawyer charge you that amount obviously you've been diddled by him/her so let me know her name and I'll gladly lodge a report on your behalf to the Bar Council.

Regarding saman malu RM10million tu pulak, there are no scale fees for litigation matters so a lawyer is entitled to charge accordingly for the amount of work done. Obviously, if you choose to hire a high-profile lawyer (I won't mention any names), you have to pay accordingly for their name (er...I think it's called economics) whereas it is possible that a lower-profile lawyer may be able to do the job equally well. Obviously, RM10m suits don't come everyday and in most cases, the matter is all that more complex so obviously more work needs to be done so the fees are naturally higher.

Hope that clears up any misunderstanding.

Thank you.

Most Elite songs are pretty catchy and nice to hear, BUT don't ever try to see them singing Live (well, we can't now, deorang dah berpecah) - I think Elite and Feminin mmg jual the same products, lagu2 yang catchy and machine-altered voice. Bila kena buat real stage show, then you'd realise.

Feruz, you have to remember, Fauziah Latiff = Paula Abdul, nyanyi ala-ala aje, yg penting, rupa and presentation mmg ada. Perhaps they chose Fauziah Latiff for that reason la.

Im not denying Jee was lucky that she had good songs (I too bought her many compilation [masa tu] cassettes). Unfortunately, her voice cepat sgt mendatar i.e. tak boleh tarik and she's very pitchy (like she likes to say to MI contestants)

Re:What was Linda Rafar thinking?

Feruz, I bought one kaset of her also, something like the Best of Fauziah Latif la, ada banyak lagu2 lama yang memorable, I like it. But I'm sure if she were to sing those song again now, mesti tak dapat tarik punye lah.

Re:What was Linda Rafar thinking?

perhaps Fauziah Latif's best is "Dari Kaki Tangga ke Menara"

Peruntukkan secebis dari masa mu nan terluang
Mengimbasi kembali suka duka masa nan silam
Ditempuhi bersama setiap cabaran yang datang
Pengalaman yang pahit dan manis tak terlupakan

Dari bawah setangga ke setangga kita mendaki
Kita jatuh terluka dan bangkit melangkah kembali
Dengan rasa percaya pada keupayaan diri
Tiada yang mustahil dihadapi

Demikian kebalnya ikatan kita
Demikian eratnya jalinan rasa
Keyakinan diiringi doa
Begitu percintaan kita
Sebati dengan cita-cita
Merancang kehidupan hari muka

Aku gembira menyaksikan
Kau beroleh kejayaan
Dulu di kaki tangga
Kini di menara
Jangan kau lupa masa silam mu
Dan mereka yang membantu
Moga tak kau abaikan
Amanah dan kewajipan

Actually after Gee No. 1 album, she came out with another album titled Menjauhkan Diri, but guess what, we never heard of it, whether the promotion was terrible or there are simply too many woman singers in the market for the time being, it's time for her to go.

Feruz,
hehehe, i thot the same thing too re Gee nak re-record her first album :) tapi, kalau dia nak produce sendiri, with her own money, tak de hal punya la berapa lama dia nak buat recording coz tak libatkan recording company's money kan..

jimY,

Rose, pernah dengar sekali dua je dalam radio, lepas tu died down. Maybe the promotional was poor kot. Because kalau nak terpasang dalam corong ni perlu promotion, not solely based on lagu tu quality or not. (yes, that's right, there are some crappy songs but still being aired on radios anyway, mainly due to promo la)

jimY,

sedap tak lagu Jee yang baru tu? i ni jarang dengar radio coz kat ofis i ni memang senyap sunyi, tak de kedengaran bunyi radio pun :? jangan compare masa kita sembang hari tu la.. last Friday was extraordinary coz even my boss pun kepoh gak :lol:

true, PR of the recording companies ke rajin pegi approach DJ kat radio stations.. else mana la DJ ni nak tau.. ada berpuluh album keluar dalam sebulan.. takkan depa nak pegi beli semuanya kan..

Rose,
Lagu dia, mcm lagu Balada normal la, not so bad. But the song dah tak ke udara langsung. I doubt there is even any MP3 cetak rompak kat online sharing program pun.

I guess jee must rely on recycling her old songs as often as possible to generate income for her. Kalau nak harap lagu baru tu mintak maaflah - too many singers better than her. Then again, tak boleh kata because Anita had a huge hit with Seksis and even Dato M Daud Kilau had a [deservedly] massive corker of a hit with Pening (with Ezzlynn).

Talking about playing time on the air, not only the DJs get something to playing certain tunes..... I have heard rumours that DJs or stations get paid not to play some songs especially if the singer is not from a big recording company.

Rizal,

You know Rizraz, I asked my friend who works with AMP (Astro radio stations nya admin/management arm) if it's true that DJs can be sogok-ed into playing certain songs semalam when I met him for lunch.

He explained that for Era, they have a 5-member committee who'd pick and choose songs that they think the targetted listeners will listen to. The songs must have the consensus of at least 4 members.

Then the songs pulak ada listings - A, B, C and so forth. The "A" songs are usually rotated 4-hourly. B is played maybe once in 8 hours etc etc.

Tapi these songs are excluding the dedications/permintaan segments of the radio station la (which I think for Era is er 3 till late night ek?).

So he said it'll be wee bit difficult to bribe the DJs and more importantly the 5-member committee tu lah.

*shrugs* Just telling what I was told semalam :D

Re:What was Linda Rafar thinking?

Padan la certain songs dok selalu keluar di corong Era, eg: Pop Ye Ye and Terhangat Di Pasaran. And I don't always listen to the radio. Tapi bila bukak tu, ada aje lagu2 yang sama.

Re:What was Linda Rafar thinking?

I dont like Pop Ye Ye or Hak Milik Kekal but I lurrrve Pening (Ezzyn & Dato' M Daud Kilau) - main whole day pun takpe. Also the new Melly-Kris duet (the one from APM 2005)

Re:What was Linda Rafar thinking?

Now lagu Nazam Berkasih sering terputar jugak, and I always like Pak Ngah's composition, he certainly added new energy to our traditional music, although why Siti dah stop nyanyi lagu Irama Msia? I really miss her performance.

Melly-Kris duet is titled "Cinta" - a soundtrack song for an Indonesia movie (forgot the movie title) - supposedly the movie would come to our shore sometime in April.
