Standard modus operandi bibi la, dia mana pernah ada original ideas. Riding on others punya viral design or ideas. Yang tak paten, dia kaut siap and claim dia punya bcse its not patented. Bukan murah nak paten idea. Just bcse dia berduit dia buli la macam tu. Untuk orang yg tak pernah nampak diri dia silap kat mana dia memang takkan berubah.
Blog dia yg latest ni terangan meniru style orang lain. Tak pandai langsung nak tweak or jenis dont care |

Entry #2
29 April 2025
Location: MACC office. Not MAC the makeup brand…
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission office.
Slightly less fun.
Are the kids ok?
It was a quiet morning. Outside, there were some drizzles... and 20 photographers.
“Please hand over your phone,” the MACC officer said as I registered to give my statement that morning.
“Uhhh sorry, just one more minute,” I say to her, fingers shaking to type my last few words to my loved ones.
“Take your time,” she looks at me, with a kind smile that understood. I think she’s a mother too.
I’ve messaged my family to say that I’m going in now. Now, my best friends. I open the groupchat and started typing. There’s a few of them in there, just my trusted circle who witnessed everything from A to Z.
“Guys, I’m about to go in now. If you don’t hear from me by midnight, it may mean they’ve taken Fadza and I into the lockup for the night and we won’t know how long they’ll keep us for questioning. Don’t worry about us, but…” I type as furiously as I can.
I continue, and I choke up, “… but please check on our kids. Please help me get them food to eat, and tell them Mom and Dad are ok and we love them so much…”
I had a lot more to write – eat vitamins, finish homework, don’t fight over the remote control, don’t take my lipstick, but there were so many eyes on me. Argh, ok, all that isn’t important right now.
Don’t cry, Vivy, don’t cry, I’d tell myself, before handing over my phone to the MACC officer. Smile, I remind myself as I saw the photographer snapping my photo. I smiled calmly, inside aching not knowing if I’d get my phone back or worse, if I will even go home to my kids that night.
This was my state for 14 days.
During the investigation about the FashionValet case, Fadza and I had to go to the MACC office daily to give our statement as the founders. We cooperated and kept calm amidst the media circus that’s been made out of us – to be honest, even with every publication shoving cameras into our faces and car, my heart only worried for one thing – my four children. There was fear everyday that they’d take Fadza and I away as they had the power to do that, just by virtue of having an investigation. I was living in panic, in fear, in anger – on top of this, having media waiting for us at the MACC gate everyday, having being called a failure in front page news even with our business still running, having our accounts frozen, having our house raided... It honestly felt like a movie that I never auditioned for. Is this all even real?
Oh, but it was real.
It was very real.
Every morning before we'd go into questioning, I’d hug my kids and hold back tears because I was afraid that might be the last time I’d get to hug them. I didn’t know my fate, I didn’t know if I’d come home that night, I didn’t know if I should tell the kids, I didn’t know what I should be preparing for them, and that is the worst feeling a parent can have.
Did we tell them in the end?
We didn’t have to.
“Mom, today my friend said she saw your face in the news! She said your tudung was nice,” Mariam said one day.
Awww, thanks.
Wait, no! This was bad.
Initially we thought the kids were too young to understand, but Fadza and I told them the whole story – about the Series D investment into our company in 2018, about how they sold their shares to a new investor, about how the narrative quickly changed to Fadza and I, about what the netizens said about us, about the ongoing investigation, and finally about the authorities freezing all our accounts and taking our passports.
I think it was a lot for them to take in.
Who can blame them?
Heck, it was a lot for me to take in!
Silence for a few seconds.
The only sound was the TV in the background.
Their reactions, eventually:
Daniel: So… we have no more money?
Mariam: This is why you should never be an entrepreneur.
Sarah: Uhhh Mommy, can we have mac and cheese for dinner?
Idris... well, he didn’t say a word because Cocomelon on TV was more interesting.
#whenigrowupiwanttobeIdris
It felt like a burden lifted after we told the kids. Daniel and Mariam had more questions and we answered each one to make sure they understood everything they could digest. We told them Mom and Dad didn’t commit any crime and we will have to be patient as a family to get through this.
Then a few moments later, the most amazing thing happened before my eyes.
Daniel went to the fridge to get apple juice, Mariam made slime with Sarah outside, and Idris.. well, Cocomelon was on loop.
Uh...
We just told them we might go to court but umm… ok I guess we’re all just moving on with life then?
In the thick of it all, I found myself doing something I haven’t done during this whole episode – I chuckled. It was amazing to see how fast kids dust off bad news.
In the next weeks to come, things changed a lot for our family. Our accounts were blocked which meant we had no access to money or our savings. There is no point keeping this a secret from you guys, this was Malaysia's front page news. Everyone knew. Our credit cards were also blocked so I couldn’t buy groceries. I tried to use my Maybank Treats points to buy things for the house - also blocked. School fees invoices came, all four of them. I tried to access my EPF savings to pay for those - also blocked. We had no money to even buy our daily food, so our family and best friends practically jumped to help without us even asking. Some paid for groceries, some paid for fees, some even got us Grabfood vouchers so we could have our meals. It was so heartbreaking to go through that for several months, knowing that we did nothing wrong to deserve this, and we wouldn’t have survived if it weren’t for the kindness God sent through our loved ones.
Our kids through all this?
CHAMPS.
ABSOLUTE CHAMPS.
They stopped buying toys, they stopped asking for things and they helped pack up their things when Fadza and I told them we couldn’t afford this house anymore. I still have vivid memories of Daniel carrying bags bigger than him down the stairs to help with the move. At night, we’d cuddle in bed together, sometimes all six of us in one bed, and we’d play card games till bedtime. It was like a little bubble of just us having meaningful moments of happiness, in a bigger dark bubble of injustice that I feel society has taken too far, playing with my life, Fadza's life and the lives of these four little humans.
But through these four little humans, I learned so much about navigating life.
In Daniel, I found calmness. He’s so chill about everything – "when life gives you lemons, go play with mangoes" kind of guy.
In Mariam, I found motivation. She’s always wanting to do activities together (baking, exercising, playing…), never letting us wander in our thoughts.
In Sarah, I found love. Notes are always scattered around about how much she loves Daddy and Mommy – that day in the shower, I found “You are the beast mom ever.” Beast, but I’ll take it.
In Idris, I found the fighting spirit. Touch him the wrong way and he'll scratch you. I can't scratch people, of course, that will go viral, but he reminded me to be a warrior in my own way.
And in these four collectively, well I found absolutely no time to break down, because they are SO clingy. “Mommy, look! Mommy, look! You’re not looking!”, "Mommy, where are my socks?", "Mommy why are you in the toilet so long?" I counted the other day - how many times they called "Mommy" in a day. 127 times.
I truly believe that apart from God, what saved Fadza and I through this all were these four little humans. What saved us from anxiety was our kids. What saved us from sadness was our kids. During times of hardship, I realise kids are never a burden – they’re your saviours. Having these little lives dependent on Fadza and I made us fight a little stronger and stand a little taller. Thoughts of authorities separating us from our kids made us pray a little harder and make doa a little longer. Our kids are our heroes, our blessings, the brightest light in our lives.
Without them even knowing it.
By just existing, by just kissing us good night, by just asking “What’s for dinner?”, they don't know they have saved their parents.
Daniel, Mariam, Sarah, Idris, and any other children I may or may not have in the future (I mean, you just never know…), I hope you guys know how special you are to your dad and I. We think the four of you are some of the strongest kids we know, and it’s ironic because you guys jump at the sight of teeny weeny cockroaches. Whatever life throws at us as a family, know that we can go through anything if we believe that God is with us. We are exactly where He needs us to be, so never fear and never give up hope. You’ve been through a lot with us, riding the ups and downs that you never signed up for, and we thank you for making it so easy. We love you so much and we are so blessed to carry the honour of being your parents. May God protect you, love you, have mercy on you till the very end.
You guys are the beast.
Love, Mom.
Before you go...
In my every entry to you, I want to leave you with something from my life that is only exclusive to Sincerely, Vivy subscribers. It could be a discount code from my favourite brands, a freebie somewhere or a lame joke the kids told me - you'll have to wait and see!
To tell the kids...
.. that we love them.
I guess you can imagine how much I value bedtime with the kids these days. I try not to complain anymore no matter how tired I am. I looked at Sarah and Idris wearing matching pyjamas with their names on it, and I immediately knew I needed to tell you all about my friend Syazna's brand, Tots & All.
For years already, they're my go-to for everything personalised. I've collected so many - towels, blankets, rompers, even armchairs! And if you've got a gift to give someone, they're PERFECT.
I pulled some strings to get you an RM50 code to spend:
SincerelyTots
(min spend of RM150, one time use only, valid till 31 May 2025)
Redeem here!
Before you really go...
Let's make the others fomo. This time, comment "you guys are the beast" in my latest instagram post at @sincerelyvivy
See you there! ;)
