The Straits Times reports that in a revealing interview with Malaysian media on April 3, Astillah shared her grievances and the proof she alleged to possess regarding her husband's infidelity with Ruhainies.

She claimed that Aziz made at least eight visits to Ruhainies' apartment at Pavilion Suites Kuala Lumpur, one of which culminated in their detainment for khalwat (close proximity) on March 9. Khalwat is an offense that involves a woman and a man who are not married to each other nor are they blood relatives, being found together in a secluded environment.

Astillah contended that she possessed evidence supporting her accusations, including Global Positioning System (GPS) data from a vehicle she had gifted to Aliff. The vehicle was registered under her name and came equipped with GPS, a feature she insisted was not intended for tracking her husband’s movements.

She also claimed to have recordings of Aziz and Ruhainies engaging in what she termed "inappropriate" dialogues, obtained through a recorder she had discreetly placed in the car. The singer said she planned to present these recordings as evidence at court.

Furthermore, Astillah disclosed that the production crew of a Malaysian drama where Aziz and Ruhainies were co-stars had cautioned her about a potential romance blossoming between the duo off-screen, as reported by The Star. Nevertheless, Astillah admitted to having dismissed these allegations, placing her trust in Ruhainies as a friend.

She recalled an incident where Ruhainies falsely assured her that she and Aziz were not together, a claim contradicted by GPS data she tracked, revealing the truth of their whereabouts.

Directly addressing Ruhainies, Astillah said: "Because of you, my children have lost their father."

"You have never been married, never been a wife, never been a mother. Remember this, one day you will feel what I felt."

She also criticized Aliff for his part in the ordeal.

Earlier this month, Astillah accused Aziz of infidelity on 11 occasions, one of which involved her own younger sister.

Astillah, 29, married the 33-year-old Aziz in 2016. They decided to part ways in 2019 following allegations of Aziz’s affairs but eventually reconciled in 2020. The couple has two children together.

Astillah once again filed for divorce last month after Aziz was detained in Malaysia with Ruhainies, 31.
