Career

Prior to her acting career, Saibi first began her early career as a singer,[4] although it is unclear whether she ever recorded an album or vice versa.[4] During her early years in showbiz, Saibi has appeared in numerous drama series and telemovies on major TV networks including RTM, TV3, TV9 and Astro.

The series was originally set as a year-long series, but due to its continuous success and consistent top rating, the series was extended for an indefinite time until it finally ended on March 27, 2021, with a total of 20 seasons and 1,054 episodes. Saibi appeared in seasons 10 to 20 during this period.

Saibi appeared as a main role in Nabila Huda in the 2009 social action drama film, Bohsia: Jangan Pilih Jalan Hitam directed by Syamsul Yusof; where she portrays Amy, a bohsia girl who enjoyed a free lifestyle, it also stars Shaheizy Sam, Johan from Raja Lawak fame, Aaron Aziz and Diana Danielle.

From 2014 to 2021, Saibi seems to shy away from public view and media spotlight and declines to appear in any television dramas to focus solely on Gerak Khas.[5] In an interview with Sinar Harian, Saibi said that being part of the Gerak Khas production team makes her feel more comfortable and refused to receive any offers as she didn't want to be selfish while has no intentions to changed that.[1] Saibi later revealed in an interview with Harian Metro in December 2020 that she wish to begin with Gerak Khas and ends with the series as well.[11]
