One of Malaysia's sexiest women, Daphne Eleanor Iking from Keningau, Sabah and who was recently in the centre of controversy in Malaysia's first known case of enticing - has confirmed Internet rumours that she has converted to Islam and married businessman Azmi Abdul Rahman.
It was confirmed through various media reports.
"We were introduced through mutual friends and we are business partners," Daphne said, while reluctant to divulge more details.
"He is a businessman and keeps a low profile, so he prefers not to be interviewed or to be in the spotlight," she said.
"When we decided to get married, naturally, conversion was a big issue.
It took me some time because I did not want to convert simply for the sake of marriage alone."
Daphne felt she was ready to take the plunge last December and embraced Islam. Both this and the solemnisation ceremony, or akad nikah, were held on January 8, 2011.
"A small celebration was held after the nikah with my family in my hometown with my nearest and dearest."
Daphne, 32, was a party in a court case in which her former husband, Ryan Chong Yiing Yih, 33, filed a private summons against corporate figure Darren Choy Khin Ming, 46, under Section 498 of the Penal Code for "enticing or taking away or detaining with a criminal intent a married woman".
She has a child, four-year-old Isobel Daniella Iking.
"My extended family in the ntv7 production team and fellow actresses were in the know."
Being her second attempt at marriage, Daphne said she thought the actual marriage was more important than the wedding itself.
Daphne is considered among Malaysia's sexiest women.
She is the talk show host of a popular local TV station and is also an actress, having appeared in various movies and dramas.
All the best Daphne..
