Both of them were planning to debut internationally together but were unable due to Danial's traumatic physical injury sustained before the debut. She occasionally practices and delves into extreme sport such as parkour and trampoline as a hobby. Dhabitah is currently pursuing her studies in the Bachelor of Media Communication at the National University of Malaysia. [2]

[14] Dhabitah took silver in 3 meter springboard individual which was won by compatriot, Ng Yan Yee. [15] Dhabitah would later partner with Ng Yan Yee to win gold in 3 meter synchronised springboard.
