PETALING JAYA, Jan 24 — Malaysian singer-actress Adibah Noor wants to pay off her debts after emerging as the fourth place winner in reality TV singing contest Gegar Vaganza (GV8) yesterday.

Winning a cash prize worth RM20,000, she also plans to use the money to redeem her jewellery that she had earlier pawned to make ends meet during the movement control order (MCO) in 2020.

She told Mstar that many knew of her plight during the previous MCOs where she had lost her source of income as a singer and actress.

“I’m not afraid to admit the fact that it was hard for me to survive during the previous MCO, especially for us in the art industry.

“But with the money that I’ve won from GV8, a small portion will be used to spend on a vacation to recharge and rejuvenate," she said.

She added that being on GV8 has made her more open minded and less judgemental.

Adibah sang a cover of Seroja by singer S.Effendy and sang a duet with Datuk Zainal Abidin for the song Kau Di Hatiku.
