Sarah Yasmine files $250k compensation claim against Aliff Aziz

Sarah Yasmine has resurfaced amid the ongoing controversy surrounding Aliff Aziz and Bella Astillah's marital issues in early 2024.

This time, she is demanding $250,000 in compensation from Aliff.

The 25-year-old model and influencer took to Instagram on March 9 to publicly demand that Aliff settle the payment within a week.

"If you 'did not receive' what I privately sent you on March 8, 2025, then I have no other way to communicate, so I am posting it here," Sarah wrote in her Instagram post, marking a year since Aliff's khalwat (close proximity) scandal first made headlines.

Sarah claimed she had been in a relationship with the 34-year-old Singaporean actor since January 2024.

However, on March 9, 2024, Aliff was caught in a khalwat case with 32-year-old Malaysian actress Ruhainies (full name Nur Ruhainies Farehah Zainul Ilyas) at a condominium, sparking public outrage and intense online discussions.

At that time, Sarah - who was also reportedly in a relationship with Aliff - stood by him, refusing to believe the accusations.

But soon after, Sarah's involvement in Aliff's life was exposed when she leaked WhatsApp conversations between Aliff and Ruhainies, along with photos and videos of her intimate moments with the actor.

Despite Sarah's claims, both Aliff and Ruhainies continue to deny any wrongdoing.

In response to Sarah's public statements, Aliff reportedly filed a Protection from Harassment Act (POHA) application against her, aiming to stop her from posting further allegations on Instagram.

Separately, in another news report, Aliff admitted to making mistakes in his relationship with Sarah.

Sarah stated that her initial intention was to defend Aliff from the backlash he was facing online.

However, she later felt betrayed after discovering Aliff's actual involvement with Ruhainies. She then shared screenshots of their private conversations as proof.

Now, Sarah is demanding compensation from the Singaporean-born actor.

Speaking to Berita Harian via Instagram, Sarah denied seeking revenge and insisted that her legal claim was justified.

"A legal demand letter is a proper way to address the harm caused by false statements made about me."

She added: "The $250,000 amount is based on the damage I've suffered, and it's my full legal right to claim it.

"This isn't about anger or revenge, but about holding people accountable and ensuring that false allegations have consequences. I'm simply following the best process, and how the other party chooses to respond is up to them."

Sarah also referenced Aliff's public confession of his khalwat case with Ruhainies, stating that this confirmed her earlier claims.

"His admission proves that what I previously stated about their relationship was factual and not defamation," she said.

"Despite this, Aliff wrongfully filed a POHA claim against me, leading to an Expedited Protection Order (EPO) issued on April 29, 2024. That legal action was baseless and unjustified."

She also issued a warning to those who had allegedly wronged her, vowing to seek justice in 2025.

"To those who have wronged me during this time, especially those who have spread false accusations - big or small - know that I will come for you this year. You know who you are."

When approached for comment, Aliff's mother, Madam Hafizah Basharahil, responded briefly:

"We have no comment. Just pray for Sarah. She needs that."
