Actress, TV Host, Scriptwriter & Producer
Entertaining Malaysians for 25 years on Screen
“One night at an American diner where I worked, a talent casting agent approached me and suggested I should audition for a role. And just like that, I found my calling as a screen actress, TV host, professional emcee, voice over talent, radio deejay and social media influencer. I’m athletically trained for stunts and have a Karate Kenpo Seibukan black belt, am an advanced scuba diver, skydiver, Pilates and a gym enthusiast. I suppose there was a reason why I was named after the most well-known actress in Malaysia, Sarimah, from the 1950s. Perhaps I was truly destined for the pictures”.

“I believe in supporting independent fashion houses and enjoy being the muse of Malaysia’s Rizman Ruzaini Couture. We have worked on many occasions on- and off-screen and I enjoy showcasing his amazing designs among many other talented designers. It takes a village of talents to make things happen and I’m so proud to be a part of that community,”.
