Who is Shila Amzah? Details explored as police probe claim of attack on Malaysian singer 

Malaysian singer Shila Amzah, whose full name is Nurshahila Amir Amzah, is making headlines. As per the reports by Malay Mail, recently, she stated that a senior artist attacked her during a concert rehearsal, which took place on July 10, 2025, at Stadium Merdeka in Kuala Lumpur.

The reports by Suaramerdeka state that Dang Wangi police station received her report at about 5.31 PM that day. They are investigating the case as criminal intimidation under Section 506 of the Penal Code. So far, police have recorded statements from Shila and a witness. They plan to call the senior artist she named to get their side of the story.

Furthermore, the reports by Suaramerdeka also stated that Shila Amzah shared about the incident on Instagram and stated how it happened in front of crew members, describing feeling anxiety and fear. However, she has yet to reveal the name of the attacker. Police have stated there was no physical contact and no injuries. The concert still went on later that night, and the atmosphere was quite tense. The performance line‑up consisted of established performers such as Amy Search, Awie, Ella, and Jaclyn Victor.

Police investigation moves ahead on Shila Amzah's statement

As per the reports by Star, allegedly, police are using Section 506 because that law covers threats or actions meant to scare someone. They want to know if the senior artist used words or actions intended to intimidate Shila Amzah. Two individuals have given statements. One is Shila, and the other person who saw the incident is. Police have not yet questioned the senior artist, but will do so soon to hear their version.

Investigators say no one was hurt and no physical contact took place. This means the case centres on words used or the tone of the interaction. The police will now collect more evidence. They may check video footage, interview more people, and review the rehearsal setting.

Who is Shila Amzah: more details

Shila Amzah started singing at a young age and released her first album at the age of five. Her career shot up after she won the Asian Wave singer in China, 2012. In 2014, she stood third in the Chinese TV show I Am a Singer, which helped her become popular all over Asia.

Although Shila Amzah has had hard times, several years ago in early 2023, she spoke out that when she was age 15, she was sexually harassed while walking to school. The reports by Kosmo state that she also talked about several issues she had in 2024 with her ex-manager in China, claiming that although the manager did not damage her career, they made choices and decisions behind her back without consulting either Shila Amzah or her management team, especially about Hunan TV.

In 2023, Shila deactivated her social media for a year. She has also publicly addressed issues with her siblings about family matters. Shila, however, has moved on in her entertainment career by continuing to record songs, express herself in concerts, and distance herself from her fashion endeavors and music, while she is also continuing to be a mother of two and a wife. These are all stated in the reports by Kosmo.

Police are continuing their work. They will review evidence, hear from all involved, and then decide on next steps. Both Shila Amzah and her fans hope for a fair conclusion. That will help her regain safety and trust in her career. She and her team now await the results of the investigation and hope the truth will come out clearly.
