headscarf

Malaysia&rsquo;s booming headscarf industry has long been a testament to the increasing demand for modest fashion, driven in part by celebrity-led brands. However, one of the country&rsquo;s major manufacturers is now facing financial hardship, claiming it is owed millions by a company linked to one of Malaysia&rsquo;s most recognisable stars&mdash;actress and entrepreneur Nur Fazura Sharifuddin.
According to legal documents and media interviews, Obor Holding Sdn Bhd&mdash;the owner of headscarf brand Feline Malaysia&mdash;is taking legal action against Fazura&rsquo;s company, alleging a debt of RM4.65 million stemming from unpaid supplies.
Legal Dispute Over Unpaid Hijab Orders

In a statement elaborated by Kosmo Online, Obor Holding alleges that Fazura&rsquo;s company, Pink Fate Sdn Bhd, received headscarf stock worth over RM7.3 million since June 2022. Of that total, only RM2.68 million has been paid, leaving an outstanding sum of RM4,650,029.14.
Pink Fate is widely associated with the Tudung Fazura brand, a popular hijab line co-founded by the celebrity herself. The claim further alleges that payment collection became increasingly difficult from December 2023 onwards, despite repeated reminders and attempts to settle the issue amicably.
Fazura and Family Named as Defendants

Besides Pink Fate Sdn Bhd, the statement names several other parties as defendants in the lawsuit. Fazfit Sdn Bhd&mdash;believed to be behind Fazura&rsquo;s skincare range&mdash;is listed as the second defendant, while Fazura&rsquo;s brother, Ahmad Faiz Sharifuddin, is the third, and Fazura herself the fourth.
Obor Holding claims that in mid-2024, five additional headscarf orders were placed, amounting to RM3.6 million, despite the company already being in arrears. These new orders were said to be part of the &ldquo;Merdeka Collection&rdquo;, a joint initiative with the Ministry of Education to commemorate Malaysia&rsquo;s 67th Independence Day. According to the claim, Faiz had assured the manufacturer that the orders were backed by government funding.
To bolster confidence, Faiz and Fazura reportedly referenced collaborations with well-established institutions such as Boh Plantations (BOH), Movenpick Hotel, and the National Cancer Institute (IKN), as proof of their financial capability and credibility. This reassurance allegedly led Obor Holding to continue fulfilling orders in good faith.
Cheque Bounce Deepens Financial Blow
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/584412f44fbad5755fefb4079f05e4ccb2ead996369737f071fae84092e1ec03" />
Despite the volume of goods supplied, Obor Holding claims it has yet to receive any further payments. The manufacturer also revealed that in September 2024, it was handed a cheque worth RM1 million, co-signed by both Fazura and her brother. However, the cheque was dishonoured, and the company received a formal notice from the bank indicating insufficient funds.
All transactions referenced in the lawsuit reportedly occurred while Fazura was still a director of Pink Fate. She later stepped down in January 2025, but her brother Faiz remains actively involved in the company&rsquo;s management. In response to the ongoing non-payment, Obor Holding has initiated proceedings to obtain a Judgment in Default, as no response was filed by the defendants within the required legal timeframe.
Founder Expresses Frustration Over &lsquo;False Promises&rsquo;
 <img src="https://r2.myc.my/e43c3a2d4cd4d58ae469c23d1867f5b57ddfc060db2ee1a24b9d4556df7b1843" /> Lim Boon Hai (Sam) on the far right.
In an interview, Obor Holding founder and managing director Lim Boon Hai&mdash;also known as Sam&mdash;shared his dismay over the ordeal. He described the company&rsquo;s attempts to contact Fazura&rsquo;s team as fruitless and expressed frustration at being led on with what he called &ldquo;empty promises&rdquo;.
&ldquo;We have tried every possible method to reach them,&rdquo; said Lim. &ldquo;Since late 2023, it&rsquo;s been nearly impossible to recover the payments. Our financial position has suffered significantly because of this.&rdquo;
Lim also lamented that despite Fazura&rsquo;s public persona as a reputable figure, her company has allegedly failed to honour basic commercial commitments. &ldquo;I never expected someone as influential and well-known as Fazura to leave us hanging like this. We&rsquo;re not asking for favours&mdash;just the payment for goods we&rsquo;ve delivered.&rdquo;
He added that while he remains open to settling the matter outside court, the lack of cooperation from the other side has left him with no alternative. &ldquo;This is not the path we wanted to take. But their refusal to engage has forced us into legal proceedings.&rdquo;
Manufacturer Warns Others: &lsquo;Don&rsquo;t Be Misled by Popularity&rsquo;
Lim expressed concern that other small or medium-sized businesses might fall into similar traps when dealing with celebrity-backed ventures. &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t be too easily swayed by fame or influence. We&rsquo;ve learnt a painful lesson,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I wouldn&rsquo;t have gone public if our claims weren&rsquo;t legitimate. This is about fairness and survival.&rdquo;
He stressed that his company had operated in good faith, trusting in the reputation of Fazura and her associates. However, what started as a promising partnership has turned into a legal and financial nightmare for Obor Holding and its manufacturing subsidiary, Feline Malaysia.
Silence from Fazura&rsquo;s Camp
Attempts to obtain comments from Fazura, her brother, and her management team have so far gone unanswered. As the case proceeds in the High Court of Kuala Lumpur, it remains to be seen whether Fazura or any of the named defendants will offer a public rebuttal or propose a settlement to avoid further reputational damage and legal escalation.
Fazura isn&rsquo;t the only celebrity facing mounting debt. Late 2024 saw several public figures thrust into the spotlight&mdash;not for their talent, but for the stark contrast between their glamorous social media personas and troubling financial realities.

The bigger question now is: how do these high-profile individuals continue to live so publicly and freely, despite owing substantial sums to others?
