KUALA LUMPUR: Popular singer Ziana Zain has "no hard feelings" towards her former husband Armin Zaharin Ahmad Zambri and makes sure that their children speak to him regularly.
"My ex-husband will always be their father and they must speak to him on the phone every week," said Ziana at Dewan Filharmonik Petronas (DFP) in KLCC, Jalan Ampang yesterday.
Ziana also said that she had forgiven Armin Zaharin for "any of his misdeeds in the past" as she was a forgiving person.
"It may be true that painful memories will never go away, but I look at them positively and move on," she said.
Armin Zaharin and Ziana were divorced at the Shah Alam Syariah Lower Court on July 12, 2018.
Armin was fined RM8,000 for caning one of his four sons by the Kuala Lumpur High Court on May 25 last year.
The Shah Alam Magistrates Court had sentenced him to eight months' jail for the same offence on Sept 28, 2020.
The offence was allegedly committed at his house in Shah Alam in February 2018.
Ziana is currently rehearsing for her upcoming Hari Raya concert at DFP themed Raya Sepanjang Zaman.
To be held on May 6, it will see her collaborate with the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) for the first time.
Raya Sepanjang Zaman will also feature Datuk Hail Amir and Bob Yusof as well as Singaporean music legend Sanisah Huri.
