Early Days
At the tender age of 16, Rima was talent-spotted and started modeling for Diva Models from 1996 to 2002. She then joined Supermodel of the World (Singapore) in 1998 and won the ‘Best Catwalk’ award. Even though Rima entered the show business industry as a model, it was her acting career in Suria, Mediacorp (Singapore) that truly propelled her into the limelight. In 2003, she starred in a highly-rated Suria series “E.C.” alongside other well-liked local personalities. Rima’s successful career in Suria was attributed to her unique ability to combine wit, elegance and humour. Her well-known status in the Malay entertainment scene became the perfect launchpad for this multi-talented personality to gain popularity across the causeway. She subsequently starred in several telemovies in Malaysia.

Trials and Tribulations
In spite of Rima’s well-received success in the entertainment industry, her trajectory evolved into one rife with challenges. Her second marriage to Marcell was quickly criticised by the Malay-Muslim community in Singapore and Malaysia as it did not abide by the Shari’aah law. What was meant to be a joyous occasion had swiftly turned sour due to the couple’s non-conforming decision to have a civil wedding. Shortly after their wedding, she left the Singapore entertainment industry and moved to Jakarta to be with Marcell.

Relatively unknown and lacking the proficiency in Bahasa Indonesia, it was an uphill endeavor for Rima to secure projects in the country. Despite having a high-profile husband in the industry, she went jobless for a year.

TV-Personality Turned Entrepreneur
Rima’s job hunt ended after a year in Jakarta when she was offered to host a cooking program on Global TV, “Kitchen Beib”. This show provided her with the big break she needed, and thereafter came a stream of hosting and acting gigs. By her second year in Indonesia, Rima landed her own cooking series on Trans TV, “Menjamu Tamu”. Through sheer hard work, Rima successfully carved a name for herself in the industry.

Now a few years into their marriage, Rima and Marcell decided to embark on the parenthood journey. Their decision has prompted Rima to leave the highly-demanding entertainment industry to focus on their family-planning goals. Although she wanted to take a break from the entertainment scene, Rima knew she had to keep her creative juices churning. Inspired by her love for all things fashion, Rima has launched an eponymous line of handmade bags,RIMAADAMSONLINE made in Indonesia. After months of sourcing for materials, workers and a workshop across Indonesia, Rima has designed a series of bags for women, men and children. As her bags are exclusively handmade, they are produced in limited quantities. Her designs are edgy yet classic, and her label is one which fashion lovers should keep their eyes on. As for the near future, Rima hopes to participate in the upcoming Jakarta Fashion Week in Feb ’13. Ultimately, Rima’s vision is to create a sustainable fashion enterprise that allows her to juggle the commitments of a mother and an entrepreneur.
