SINGER Sheqal who recently married Normah Mohd Yusuf, an active Umno member, described his wife as his perfect match. ``She complements me in many ways. Normah is a simple woman who regards me as a person and not as a singer,'' said Sheqal, who married Normah in a simple ceremony at Dewan Wawasan, Menara PGRM, Kuala Lumpur, last week.The couple looked charming in matching white and gold robes and headgear. The ceremony was attended by popular artistes like Pak Pandir, Julie Dahlan and a few nasyid groups.
Sheqal, who is in his early 30s, is now a member of Rufaqa, a religious group set up by former members of now-defunct Al-Arqam. The couple met during a religious course conducted by Rufaqa.Drawn to Sheqal's soft-spoken mannerism and charm, Normah approached Rufaqa leader Abu Ya and voiced her interest in the singer.
According to a source, Abu Ya himself arranged a meeting and subsequently gave his blessing for their marriage.
Sheqal, who was formerly married to singer Raja Ema, is now slowly making the transition from a Nusantara singer to a nasyid singer. He has just released an album with another Rufaqa member, Qathrunnada, titled Cinta Agung.
