Fasha Sandha set punctuality dispute

Overview

In late July 2026, veteran Malaysian actress Fasha Sandha privately addressed a co‑actor’s chronic lateness by sending a discreet WhatsApp message, choosing not to name the individual to avoid public embarrassment. She highlighted the need for discipline and noted that production staff had already issued warnings, hoping the private reprimand would improve punctuality on set.

By early August 2026, Fasha’s younger sister, actress Elisya Sandha, publicly backed her at a press conference for the iQIYI drama Madu Atau Racun. Elisya reiterated the importance of arriving on time, citing personal experiences with late performers and explaining that private warnings had failed to change behaviour. The sisters together emphasized that respecting call‑time schedules is essential for smooth production and for the consideration of cast, crew, and even younger participants.
