SINGAPORE — Contrary to earlier reports that mentioned the disappearance of Anita Sarawak was worrying her family, the Singapore-born musician is doing well and has been in contact with her loved ones.

Anita’s half-sister Noor Kumalasari Mohd Talib said she received a call from her on Tuesday (May 19) wishing her a happy birthday, The New Paper (TNP) reported.

She told TNP the call was a relief as Anita had not been in touch with her family since March.

Since then, there were concerns about her whereabouts and health as her half-sister said it was unlikely of Anita to suddenly disappear and not keep in touch with either of her family or friends for such a long period of time.

During her last phone call with her half-sister, Anita revealed she was “not interested” in holding any more performances and that she wanted to avoid the spotlight, TNP reported. 

63-year-old Anita spent 18 years performing at the Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas before returning to Singapore and Malaysia in 2003.
