Concert Review: Keshi Might’ve Left ‘2 Soon’ Cos It Was Truly A Magical Night!

For years us Malaysian fans have been begging and dreaming for Keshi to make a stop here – and on the 2nd and 3rd of December, Keshi made our dreams come true at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Hall during his HEAVEN/HELL Tour 2022! With it being his first ever time touring in Asia, it’s safe to say we were all anticipating a great show and we definitely weren’t disappointed.

The show opened with Japanese producer and artist, Rei Brown. With music of a similar genre to Keshi’s, his opening performance was one that many of us enjoyed as well. The Indie pop singer performed a few of his songs for us, including: ‘Honest’ and ‘Forever’. After his performance, random mainstream pop songs were played and to our surprise the crowd still went crazy!

And alas, after several rounds of chanting “KESHI, KESHI, KESHI!” The lights dimmed down and a montage of pictures with lyrics from his song ‘blue’ signalled the man of the hour when he walked out and everyone just lost it – it was a mixture of cheering and “I LOVE YOU KESHI!” or both at the same time. The montage then transitioned into his opening song ‘GET IT’ accompanied with visuals on the big screen and big bright lights that matched the rapid beat of the song. Everyone could feel the energy levels of both Keshi himself and the crowd shooting through the roof!

Before starting his next song, he gave us a “WHAT THE F*** IS UPPPPP!!” followed by a few more words of greetings to which we all responded by screaming our lungs out, before getting into his hit single ‘SOMEBODY’ as the crowd sings along word-for-word, keeping the same ‘scream our hearts out energy’.

He instructed the crowd to “sing it with me, you ready?” before delving into another of his hits ‘beside you’. You could hear the crowd’s voices echo through the hall as we all sang along with him, song after song as if we’ve been waiting ages for this exact moment – well, WE WERE! Before starting his next song he told us “I feel like it’s long overdue – me coming to Asia” and we couldn’t agree more!

“Now how many of you guys have been listening to Keshi for a long time?” he asked to which the crowd responded with screams and cheers, indicating many who were present have been longtime fans. “There’s a small EP that I put out before ‘Skeletons’, I’m not sure if you guys have heard of it but it’s called..” Before breaking into ‘like i need you’ which is the name of both his song and EP – we loved his play on words! And to no one’s surprise at this point, the crowd once again went crazy as the intro of the iconic single played, drowning us all in an immense sense of nostalgia.

The setlist then followed in an impeccable order, combining songs from both his newer and older albums, balancing them out perfectly according to beat and rhythm. He performed his newer songs like ‘TOUCH’ and ‘MILI’, then followed by some of his older songs like ‘i swear i’ll never leave again’, ‘drunk’, ‘skeletons’ and ‘always’.

One thing we really appreciated and made us feel super connected to him was definitely the amount of interaction with the audiences. One of the funniest happened when all of us were scream-chanting for him to “TAKE IT OFF! TAKE IT OFF! TAKE IT OFF!” – yes we were asking him to take his shirt off, to which he replied with “You guys already know I can’t do that here.” Everyone burst into laughter because we all knew he was right. But hey, at least we tried.

Before we knew it… “this is gonna be my last song for tonight,” he said before performing ‘ANGEL’ – but it was bittersweet for us because although his performance was breathtaking, it was going to be the last one for the night…. or was it?

The crowd was determined to get one last taste of Keshi before saying goodbye, as everyone stayed in the hall and chanted “WE WANT MORE!” even when he and his band left the stage after ending ‘ANGEL’. Thankfully, they came back out! Not only did they return, but they returned with ‘2 Soon’ and the performance was an out of body experience. His vocals, his energy and the visuals all played their roles perfectly, giving us the most magical closing to his first night in Malaysia.

If we had to choose our favourite performance of the night, it would have to be ‘drunk’ where everyone was just singing along and waving their phone flashlights side-to-side. We looked around the hall during the time and honestly, seeing a whole crowd of floating lights while Keshi serenades us with his voice is an experience that we can’t fully describe with words.

Still couldn’t believe i get to see him up this close 🥹🥹 #keshiLiveInKualaLumpur #KeshiinKL #Keshi #KeshiMalaysia #hellheaventour pic.twitter.com/VznOTLnRtG

All in all, the entire experience was one that felt safe and comforting. Thanks to Keshi’s constant interaction with us, it made us all feel like we were connected to each other. The way we would singalong to him word-for-word in synchronicity is something that you’d think is just a gimmick we see in movies, but it truly felt surreal.

#Macau: Old World Charm, New World Excitement, & Asia’s Hub For Culture + Arts

Quite often, it is the unassuming travel destinations, the ones not so obvious that offer a truly exciting and value-for-money holiday. And you’ll never find this truer for Macau, selected as one of Lonely Planet’s Top 10 regions for “Best in Travel” in 2015.

Offering some of Asia’s best attractions, the Special Administrative Region (SAR) of Macau is just a mere 3 hours and 45 minutes via direct flight from KLIA2 and beckons the Malaysian traveller. Whether for romantic trip for two, a fun-filled family vacation, or a solo escapade to explore the city’s rich history and heritage (or all of the above), there is certainly more to Macau than most are aware of. Step out of the airport and prepare to discover a world of wonder across the 30.3 kilometres squared region’s old world charm and new world excitement.

For a quick guide, refer to the infographic overleaf to find out why there is more to Macau than most realise:

Unbeknown to most, Macau in 2014 alone, received over 30 million tourist arrivals, making it one of the highest and most visited tourist spots in Asia. Among the reasons cited for its appeal is that Macau is affordable, easy to get around, safe and is strategically located. Having ticked all the right boxes, it is no wonder that little Macau looms large on the traveller’s calendar.

In addition, there is something for everyone. History buffs will enjoy the well-preserved attractions but especially the World Heritage site area that is home to the world-famous Ruins of St. Paul’s, A-Ma Temple, and Senado Square.

These are just a few of traditional must-see places that stand tall and proud as guardians of Macau’s rich cultural heritage. The historic attractions sit comfortably with newer sites such as the Macau Tower & Convention Centre which features the world’s highest bungy jump at 233m (764ft).

Foodies will enjoy Macau’s delectable mix of Asian, Portuguese and African (yes, African) influences that certainly give an exotic twist to the local cuisine. As a suggestion, you may wish to sample Galinha de Africana (African Chicken), Portuguese tarts, almond cookies, and other tempting delights, which are mouth-watering and unique to Macau.

And for those into the arts, the month of May brings one of Asia’s best highlights on the performing arts calendar – The Macau Arts Festival (MAF), which showcases some of the world’s best performances featuring theatre, dance, music, cinema, art exhibitions and lots more.

Now in its 26th instalment, the MAF, themed “Encounter” for 2015, is an attempt to explore the linguistic diversity of the performing arts in all its forms and to transcend barriers of language, culture and medium to show that art is in effect one, and to be enjoyed by all.

This year, the MAF features 30 acts and visual arts exhibitions that together with the outreach programme, number to over 100 activities.

Dramatically lighting up the city every early summer, the MAF brings together theatre, dance, music, circus, multimedia, and visual arts in an artistic panorama of events.

A mix of local, regional and international performers from various regions and countries around the world present a diversity of programmes, including Cantonese Opera, Western classical and modern music, Chinese music and drama, Macanese drama, and a host of exciting artistic experiences enjoyed by enthusiastic multicultural audiences for an entire month.

The Asian premiere of “Lied Ballet” heralds the curtain-up of the MAF; “Trust”, also an Asian premiere, will be the closing show; “The Suit” showcases the master’s extraordinary denotation of theatrical space; “1699 The Peach Blossom Fan” perfectly demonstrates the inheritance of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Local plays promise to be equally fascinating: The MAF commissioned performance, “Fateful Decision”, provides a platform for the use and practice of original script on stage. This edition of the MAF has also commissioned WCdance from Taiwan with the piece “Aerodynamics”, which encourages the exchange and cooperation of artists from Macao and Taiwan. “Phaedra 2.0-Desires and Lies” transcends the boundaries of language and text.

A series of exhibitions will also be launched to demonstrate the diversity of art: The MAF programme includes several family-orientated programmes; “Savanna – A Possible Landscape”, “Transports Exceptionnels”, and “Dot” are some of the shows which will give both adults and children the opportunity to appreciate art together.

And that’s not all! The icing on the cake is that several performances are hosted by some of Macau’s enchanting and atmospheric UNESCO-listed World Heritage sites.

From a World Heritage Status District, the Macau Arts Festival, MMA fights, and the world’s highest bungy jump, Macau – the world’s top tourist destination – bids you welcome with 17 direct flights weekly from KLIA2.

#Stratton: Henry Cavill Quits Action-Thriller At The Eleventh Hour

Oh no, “Man of Steel” star Henry Cavill has bailed on the leading role in action-thriller “Stratton”.

Why? Well, it has been reported that Cavill called it quits at the very last minute due to “creative differences” on the script.

‘Twas ever thus, Simon West is to helm “Stratton” based on the first out of eight series of novels written by Duncan Falconer. Amber Entertainment, Cavill’s Promethean Productions and GFM are to serve as producers for the film.

Set to start shooting on 2nd June in London and Rome, Cavill was to play Stratton, a SBS (Special Boat Service) operative for MI5 as he and his team risked their lives to track down an international terrorist group.

Here’s what Cavill said when he took up the role of Stratton:

“I’ve long wanted to tell a story about the British Special Forces, and finally the opportunity has come around. Duncan Falconer’s work is fantastic, and we are incredibly fortunate to be working with him so closely. We plan to convert the books to cinema as accurately as possible while keeping them topical. Simon West is a perfect match for this movie with his ability to marry storytelling and action, both of which are essential to do this project justice.”

Unfortunately, Cavill’s excitement didn’t last long as the final script was not what he expected it to be.

GFM Films, which provides financing and was selling the film last week at Cannes, said in a statement it plans to continue with the project. The statement reads:

“It is with great regret that we announce that Henry Cavill has pulled out of “Stratton” due to creative differences on the script of the movie. With production due to commence next week, we wish to keep the production team together and Simon West as director so are working now to replace Henry. Production will be delayed whilst we do this. Further announcements will be made in due course.”

The British actor will be seen next in an action movie “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” this coming August and “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” in March 2016.

Yes, production cannot carry on without a leading role but we’re hoping role “Stratton” doesn’t get canned due to this. So far, Cavill’s representation has not responded after a request for comment regarding this incident.


(UPDATE) #CamilaCabello: The Reason She Left Fifth Harmony; Felt Blindsided By Group’s Statement

Remember when we shared that something was amiss that Camila Cabello’s departure from Fifth Harmony came from the group and not the singer herself?

Well, it’s now Camila’s turn to speak out and she has a slightly different version from Fifth Harmony’s statement. The 19-year-old singer is now sharing her side of the story, explaining that she was not aware that her former bandmates were going to release that statement yesterday (Monday, 19th December).

Camila began her extensive statement (published this morning, Tuesday, 20th December) by reminiscing about the girl group’s early days when they were formed on the 2nd season of Simon Cowell’s reality singing competition, “X-Factor”, in 2012.

“When I turned 15, I had the blessing of being put into a group with four very talented girls. We were 5 strangers that weren’t even aware of each other’s existence that were given a shot at one dream together. It’s been almost 5 years and the most important chapter of my life thus far. I am so proud of everything we’ve achieved together as a group and will always be proud of being a part of it,” she wrote.

— camila (@Camila_Cabello) December 19, 2016

Although the rest of Fifth Harmony – Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane Hansen and Lauren Jauregui – claimed that they were informed about her quitting the group “via her representatives”, Camila insists that the girls were already aware of her decision beforehand.

“I was shocked to read the statement the Fifth Harmony account posted without my knowing. The girls were aware of my feelings through the long, much needed conversations about the future that we had during tour. Saying that they were just informed through my representatives that I was ‘leaving the group’ is simply not true. Just like the other girls said in their statement about their plans, I had also planned to continue with my own solo endeavours in the new year but I did not intend to end things with Fifth Harmony this way,” she added.

“As sad as it is to see this chapter ending this way, I will continue to root them all on as individuals and as a group, I wish nothing but the best for them, all the success in the world and true happiness,” she continued.

Though her statement might seem somewhat vague, it appears that Camila might not have meant to immediately quit her group when her contract ended on 18th December (Sunday). That was the last day the singer was contractually bound to Fifth Harmony.

But on the bright side, fans can look forward to some new solo music from Camila in 2017. “Next year I will be working on my own music and giving you a big chunk of my heart,” she promised.

Fifth Harmony has a total of 2 top 5 albums with “Reflection” and “7/27” as well as a top 5 Billboard Hot 100 hit with “Work From Home”. Camila has 2 hits outside of the group: “I Know What You Did Last Summer” with Shawn Mendes and her latest duet with Machine Gun Kelly titled, “Bad Things”.

Uh oh, things are looking pretty messy between Fifth Harmony and Camila Cabello.

Shortly after Camila released her statement, refuting Fifth Harmony’s claim that they learned about her departure via her management, the girls are firing back at the 19-year-old pop star with a brand new statement.

In the latest message, the remaining members in the group clarified that they’ve been making an effort for the past year to try and convince Camila to give Harmonizers at least 1 more album, but they were informed in mid-November by her manager, Roger Gold, that her final performance with the group would be on 18th December.

Here’s the excerpt: “Over the past several months, we have consistently made every effort to sit down and discuss the future of Fifth Harmony with Camila. After months of rejection from her and her team, these supposed lengthy conversations in fact never happened, although we pleaded. We have tried with exhausted efforts and hearts to keep this group alive as the five of us, and we want it to be very clear that unfortunately those efforts were not mutual.”

aespa’s Giselle Apologises For Mouthing The N-word

aespa member Giselle (지젤, real name Aeri Uchinaga) found herself in hot water after a video of her mouthing a racial slur made its way on social media this past weekend.

In a video titled “aespa ‘Savage’ Jacket Behind the Scenes”, the idol, along with her fellow members Karina and Ningning were seen vibing to SZA’s song “Love Galore” while taking a break during their shoot. However, things took a turn when a few eagle-eyed fans noticed Giselle lip-syncing to the song’s lyrics that contain the n-word.

The snippet of Giselle mouthing the racial slur quickly went viral on Twitter and has accumulated over 3.6 million views at the time of writing. The 21-year-old has also received immense criticism from fans who were understandably disappointed by the matter. SM Entertainment, the home label to the four-piece musical ensemble ended up setting the video on private amid the heated backlash.

A couple of days after the controversy made the headlines, Giselle finally came forward to issue a public apology over the recent drama on aespa’s official Twitter account. Here’s what the Japanese-Korean rapper wrote:

“Hello, this is Giselle. I would like to apologise for mouthing the wrongful word from the lyrics of the song that was playing on-site. I had no intentions of doing it with any purpose and got carried away when one of my favourite artist’s songs was played. I sincerely apologise. I will continue to learn and be more conscious of my actions.”

We really hope that the “Next Level” hit-maker will be able to learn from this incident.

Local YouTuber Destroys Friend’s Proton Iswara For YouTube Content

Social media was abuzz recently after a Russian YouTuber burned his Mercedes-AMG worth RM1.8 million for a video content.

This time, a local YouTuber that goes by the name of Isa Isarb had also decided to destroy a car for a video on his channel which was uploaded last weekend.

In the video, Isa explained that a friend of his, who is also one of his staff, drives a Proton Iswara that’s in a terrible condition. As a token of appreciation for their friendship, he wanted to surprise his friend, Faizal, by gifting him a brand new car (a Proton Aruz).

However, it wasn’t going to be that easy. Isa initially decided to prank Faizal by burning the car before surprising him with the new vehicle. He told Faizal to help record a “drift” video which involved his Iswara being driven around on a wet muddy field.

During the “drift” shooting, Isa and his crew purposely broke the car windows and punctured the tires to get more reaction from Faizal. It worked according to plan, but they had to change their location when authorities came and advised against burning the car in public.

At the new location, the crew proceeded to destroy Faizal’s car by hitting it with fire extinguishers and other tools, causing him to be furious and confused at the same time. Nevertheless, the look on his face turned into a smile after Isa surprised him with a brand new Proton Aruz, and revealed that it was all planned.

Even though it was all happy and dandy at the end, the video got a mixed bag of reactions from netizens who saw the video. Most of them were touched by Isa’s act on buying his friend a new car, but a few of them felt that the prank was inappropriate.

If destroying cars is the current trend among YouTubers, who knows what kind of stunts these content creators would pull in the future.

Taiwanese Band F.I.R Introduces New Lead Singer; Fans Are Not Impressed

Famous Taiwanese band F.I.R (飛兒樂團) will not be the same anymore! After staying quiet for quite some time, the band announced yesterday that they will have new music as well as a new singer.

The new lead vocalist was introduced yesterday at a media conference in Beijing, and coincidentally, the new singer is called Lydia Han Ru (Lydia 韓睿).

For those who didn’t know, “Lydia” was the band’s most famous hit that made them well-known throughout Asia. The song was also the theme song for the Taiwanese TV drama “The Outsiders” (鬥魚).

The 22-year-old new lead singer was personally chosen from hundreds of potential newcomers by Ian and Real. She was a graduate from Zhejiang Academy of Music and was the voice behind F.I.R’s latest track “Spark” (星火) – the theme song of the movie remake of “The Outsiders”.

Before F.I.R debuted in 2004, the band already sang the theme song for the TV series, but the drama was aired in Taiwan without revealing the singer of the theme song. For the movie remake, F.I.R apparently used the same approach as they also did not reveal the singer of the new theme song.

F.I.R stands for Faye (former lead singer), Ian (keyboardist) and Real (guitarist) but is also said to be a backronym for “Fairyland In Reality”, the name of their debut album.

But with Faye out of the group, fans argued over the band’s name, saying that the band should at least go with a different name now that they have a new singer. This is also to honour the original singer of the group.

But Real defended saying that F.I.R doesn’t stand for their names but means “Fairyland in Reality”, adding that they are not like S.H.E who uses their names to form the band name.

可悲明明已經換主唱還有臉繼續叫FIR對我們這些粉絲來說飛兒樂團的主唱就是飛！！沒有人可以取代既然換主唱麻煩把樂團名字給換了

— Angela(진함운) (@cyndi78912) October 26, 2018

媽啊飛兒樂團沒有飛，致敬老婆餅嗎？

飞儿乐团重组，找来一个模仿飞儿唱歌的女声，还叫Lydia，这是来恶心谁？

According to Ian, the reason Faye exited the group is because she now has a new music direction that is different from the band.

“We have been in touch with her these past 2 years, and we even invited her to return to the group. But she is more into EDM now and she is very contented with her current music. We also feel happy for her,” he said.

F.I.R’s other famous hits include “Our Love” (我們的愛), “Your Smile” (你的微笑), “Years of Love” (千年之戀), “LOVE*3”, “Fly Away”, and more.


(UPDATE) #fx: Countdown For Comeback Begins With Mysterious Teasers

And the countdown for f(x)‘s long awaited comeback has begun.

Fans of the idol girl group are preparing to welcome the girls back to the Korean music industry as the group’s talent agency SM Entertainment recently teased their comeback via Instagram and Twitter.

After promoting SNSN Girls’ Generation‘s Taeyeon‘s solo debut, SM Entertainment finally put their focus on promoting f(x)’s comeback with a couple of teasers.

A 11-second teaser was posted by the Korean entertainment giant on Twitter, revealing the date and time of f(x)’s comeback. They are set to return with their new album on 21st October (Wednesday) at 8pm KST.

— SMTOWN (@SMTOWNGLOBAL) October 19, 2015

The tweet led us to an Instagram account that was specially created for f(x)’s comeback.

Several teaser pictures were posted on the account and one of the photos came with the caption, “[4 Walls] – An Exhibit”:

The picture seemed to signify that the group will make their comeback as a 4-member girl group for the first time ever.

This came after maknae Sulli announced that she would leave the group to focus on her acting career.

If all these are indeed the teasers for their comeback, the new album will mark their first album since releasing “Red Light” in July 2014. No word on what the 4th album will be named and how many songs will be included in it, but we are excited to find out what they might have in store.

As they are known for their energetic electronic and psychedelic music, we do wonder if they will have a different approach to their new album. It’ll be exciting to see what kind of comeback concept they will pull off too.

What do you think their comeback concept will look like? Do you think their new album will consist of their self-written or self-composed tracks? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It seems like f(x) will be promoting their upcoming comeback – Rihanna style!

The girl group confirmed on their official website and Instagram account that they will be holding an art exhibit as part of their album promotions.

This is similar to Rihanna’s recent album promotion as she held a party at Los Angeles gallery space to unveil the new title and the artwork of her highly anticipated album.

Tentatively known as “[4 WALLS]: AN EXHIBIT”, f(x)’s art exhibit will be held in Itaewon, Seoul for 6 days from 21st October onwards. It will open from 8pm to 12am KST. A new logo featuring all 4 members of the group was unveiled alongside the details of the exhibit.

Details regarding their album are still kept under wraps, but it is confirmed to be released midnight on 27th October (Tuesday).

Leader Victoria is the first member of f(x) to release teaser images for the group’s highly anticipated comeback.

A preview video clip of their art exhibit was released alongside the teaser images. It is said to have featured some scenes from their upcoming music video.

SM Entertainment has just dropped more teaser images for f(x)’s long-awaited comeback. This time around, it featured member Luna.

Check out a new video clip of their art exhibit and the gorgeous teaser images below:

More teaser images and preview video clips for f(x)’s highly anticipated comeback were released by SM Entertainment.

Featuring members Krystal and Victoria, the teaser images showed the girls exude retro vibes with their 90s-inspired outfits. As Krystal turned 21-year-old recently, SM Entertainment also left a birthday wish yesterday (24th October) via a teaser video below:

You can also check out the teaser video that featured Amber here:

The girls will perform the title track from their new album for the first time on 29th October on “M! Countdown”. They will then perform it on KBS’s “Music Bank” on 30th October and “Music Core” on 31st October.

According to AKP, the song will be “an elegant and strong EDM track”.

Check out teaser images that featured Krystal and Victoria below:

SM Entertainment has finally released the first teaser video for “4 Walls”, the title track from f(x)’s upcoming album.

In true f(x) style, the psychedlic teaser video shows the girls aimlessly roaming around the woods. The background music also heightened the overall cryptic mood of the video.

#Lorde: Singer Hits Back At Demanding Fan; Confirms 2nd Album Is In The Works

To quote Clash Music’s Joe Zadeh, who gave Lorde’s album “Pure Heroine” (2013) a 9/10, “‘Lorde’ itself is her homemade feminisation of the noble noun”.

A demanding Lorde fan recently left an angry comment on her Instagram and the 19-year-old New Zealander shut that fan down with the perfect reply.

The angry fan posted, “Do you think we will ever get another album or should we just give up on you as an artiste?”, to which the “Royals” singer replied:

“Give up on me if you want to! I’m an artiste, I write a record when I have enough special stories to tell, and it’s all me, every melody, every lyric, not some team who just start the machine up every 18 months like clockwork.

The record is written, we’re in the production stage now. I’ve worked like a dog for a year making this thing great for you guys,” indicating that her sophomore album is already in the works!

So there you have it folks, confirmation by the Kiwi pop star herself!

Singer-songwriter Lorde, real name Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor, released her first studio album “Pure Heroine” in 2013 and the title track “Royals” won “Song Of The Year” and “Best Pop Solo Performance” at the 2014 Grammy Awards.

The Theory of Everything: A Stephen Hawking Biopic

Come November, a film based on the story of the most brilliant and celebrate physicist of our time will shed light on what he really went through in life.

“The Theory of Everything”, starring Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones, is an British biopic-drama based on the life of Stephen Hawking. It also chronicles the relationship between Hawking (played by Eddie Redmayne) and his wife, Jane (played by Felicity Jones), from his early development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a motor-neuron disease, to his success in physics.

Directed by James Marsh, the British film-maker behind Man on Wire and Shadow Dancer, the film is due to be screened in the special presentations section at the upcoming Toronto international film festival. It was said that Jane Wilde’s memoir, “Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen” served as inspiration for the film.

The description that accompanied the official movie trailer reads as such:

Little was expected from Stephen Hawking, a bright but shiftless student of cosmology, given just two years to live following the diagnosis of a fatal illness at 21 years of age. He became galvanized, however, by the love of fellow Cambridge student, Jane Wilde, and he went on to be called the successor to Einstein, as well as a husband and father to their three children. Over the course of their marriage as Stephen’s body collapsed and his academic renown soared, fault lines were exposed that tested the lineaments of their relationship and dramatically altered the course of both of their lives.

As for the debut trailer, well, try to hold back your tears as you watch it:

“The Theory of Everything” is slated for a 8th January 2015 release.


Hype’s Now Playing: Gwen Stefani – Make Me Like You

Gwen Stefani is feeling romantic and she wants everyone to know it.

Shortly after announcing the details on her upcoming solo album, “This Is What The Truth Feels Like”, where she shared a handwritten track list (featuring 12 songs in total while a special edition for Target includes 4 additional bonus tracks), the former No Doubt frontwoman unveiled the album’s second single “Make Me Like You”.

Looking absolutely stunning on her single cover art, Gwen is seen rocking bright red lipstick, a short curly hairdo, and sexy black eye makeup. Clearly moving along from her bitter breakup anthem, “Used To Love You”, her latest upbeat single is all about renewal and finding love again. And it’s no-brainer which cowboy she is singing about ;)

In the 3-minute-plus song, she sings about the complications with trust after being hurt in the past:

“I was fine before I met you / I was broken but fine / I was lost and uncertain / But my heart was still mine / I was free before I met you / I was broken but free / All alone in the clear view / But now you are all I see.”

In the chorus, she belts, “Why’d you have to go and make me like you? / Yeah, this is a feeling I’m not used to / Why’d you have to go and make me like you? / I’m so mad at you, ’cause now you got me missing you.”

Blake Shelton, who no doubt (pun intended) was the inspiration behind the song, couldn’t contain his excitement for his girlfriend’s latest single. He tweeted:

@blakeshelton hope u like this song 😉gx #MakeMeLikeu 💓#ThisIsWhatTheTruthFeelsLike

— Gwen Stefani (@gwenstefani) February 12, 2016

After a few failed attempts at making a comeback over the past year and a half, she has finally struck gold with “Make Me Like You”. It’s pure, vibrant and cheeky – the type of pop music we fans have been patiently waiting for the singer to churn out.

Guess all it took was for her to get out of a bad long-term relationship with Gavin Rossdale and finding inspiration in her 39-year-old country crooner. We want more of these please, Gwen! So much more.

Gwen will be making her live debut of “Make Me Like You” at the Grammy Awards where it will be filmed at broadcast live during the commercial break on CBS.

Netflix’s “The Power of the Dog” Review: Cowboy Benedict Cumberbatch Delivers His Most Frightening Performance

The age of romantic westerns is dead. The Coen Brothers saw to that in “No Country for Old Men”. That being said, the aesthetic is still alive and well. Whether in the form of comic-book films like “Logan” or in Netflix’s hip-hop ultraviolent “The Harder They Fall”. The point is, these days westerns are rarely ever the straight-laced white hat morality tales they used to be. Sometimes, they can be even used as the premise for psychological thrillers. Which is exactly what we got here with Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog”. A film that is an unfliching look into the rough and terrible life of the American frontier.

We didn’t know what to expect coming into a film about cowboy’s and ranchers. What we got was a heart-pounding, nerve-wracking look at the death of a way of life. Though, it’s not exactly the violent terror you’d expect. Rather, it’s the kind of agony found in the heated awkwardness of being in the same room with two people fighting. Let’s break it down!

The plot of the film follows the story of a widow, Rose and her son, Peter. Their lives will forever be changed by two cattle ranch owning brothers, George and Phil. George is a sweet, chubby man who wants nothing more than to escape the drudgery and expectations of him as a cattle rancher. Phil, on the other hand, is a cruel and cold rancher who loves the rough and tumble life. When George decides to marry Rose, Phil immediately resents her and her gentle son, Peter. As time goes on, Rose and Peter are soon swept up in a complicated relationship with Phil. One filled with secrets and lies.

“The Power of the Dog” is a sobering reminder that back in the old days, there were some very rigid and toxic standards of manhood. This is best embodied in the character of Phil, who delights in tormenting Peter due to his inability to measure up to the masculine image at the time. The pressure of it would either make your, or break you. So as we see Peter try to navigate through this life, we also begin to see Phil’s insecurities about the state of the world. People like him aren’t going to be needed for very long as the world becomes more civilized. This anxiety coupled with his idolization of the frontier life manifests in violent and scary ways that isn’t easy to predict.

Campion, who wrote and directed film, does a terrific job in amplifying this reality from distant fact to emotionally gripping drama. The use of silence to punctuate painful scenes of conversations whenever Phil is in the room is an inspired choice. Then out of nowhere you hear Jonny Greenwood’s score of hissing violins creep over like a rattle snake waiting to pounce. “The Power of the Dog” is constructed with the sole purpose to unnerve and we love it! It makes every interaction with Phil a battle, a revelation or a glimpse into his past.

Perhaps, the only thing that may put some people off would be the film’s pace. Admittedly, there are times when the film luxuriates in its scenery and setting. Particularly the scenes that involve the majestic mountain ranges and clear, open sky. We get that Campion was trying to create a sense of atmosphere but perhaps a less static approach could have been used.

All these little imperfections fade away, though, in light of Benedict Cumberbatch’s Phil Burbank. We’ve seen Cumberbatch play insensitive jerks in the past but he is on a whole different level here. First off, he utterly nails the Southern accent. If you didn’t tell us he was English, we wouldn’t have guessed it. There’s a silent rage always brewing beneath his breath, just waiting to explode. One scene that left us wincing uncomfortably is when he whips a horse out of frustration. We also get to see a shocking vulnerability to Phil, one that almost has us rooting for him. This is arguably his most compelling performance we’ve see in his career.

He’s bolstered by an excellent cast of actors. Jesse Plemons does a great job in his portrayal as George, a man who lives in the shadow of his brother and has finally found a reason to leave the life. Oh, fun fact, Kirsten Dunst who plays Rose is also married to Plemons in real life. That would certainly explain why they have such believable on-screen chemistry together. Dunst isn’t just a pretty damsel here though. Initially she’s terrified of Phil but begins to find her courage when she sees Phil spending more time with Peter. It culminates in a shocking revelation that will leave your jaw on the floor. Kodi Smit-McPhee as the sensitive, wide-eyed Peter can be a tad annoying at first but we got used to him. Especially when he hangs around Phil.

“The Power of the Dog” isn’t something we’d recommend you pop on the couch and watch to relax. It’s a very intense film that will require you to expend some time and energy. There are also some rather uncomfortable scenes of animal treatment, which while accurate can be disturbing for some viewers. That being said, we can gurantee that you’ll leave with a whole new appreciation for American westerns and Cumberbatch’s talent.

Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog” delivers brutal drama set in the unforgiving era of cattle-ranching, toxic masculinity and common violence. Thanks to Campion’s strong direction, the film’s rivetting plot acts as a worthy vehicle to showcase Benedict Cumberbatch’s tour de force performance as the cruel but complex Phil Burbank. His role here continues to cement his distinguished place in the world of cinema. He’s come a long way from his days in BBC’s “Sherlock”, and he’s redeemed himself from that awful Boston accent in “Black Mass”! You can now catch “The Power of the Dog” on Netflix today!

So, what was your favourite film starring Benedict Cumberbatch? Do you think he deserves an Oscar for his performance? Be sure to let us know in the comments!

Gary Cao Furious Over Leaked Song!

Gary Cao, the Malaysian singer-songwriter known for his impressive vocal range, who is now based in Taiwan after achieving crazy success made headlines late yesterday – but not for all the wrong reasons. The Chinese Golden Melody Awards artistes, who is known all across Malaysia (of course), Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore is furious after discovering that one of his songs was leaked!

According to Taiwan media, the song in mention was titled, “Isn’t It Good” and was supposed to be one of his new songs earmarked for his upcoming album. However, it appeared on the Internet with someone else credited as its composer and lyricist.

Now, if you didn’t already know, the last time Gary Cao released a full studio album was two years ago. But perhaps Chinese music fans around the world would remember him most for one of his most notable works, his Chinese rendition of Karyn White’s “Superwoman”:

[youtube id=”xOVIDYoIxkM” width=”600″ height=”350″]

In a micro blog post on Thursday, Gary expressed his extreme dismay at the leaked song finding.

Why is it that a song I have not released is already on the Internet? The song I wrote became someone else’s? Where is the problem! I’m really furious. Really furious. Really furious!

It was also said that the losses incurred by Gary Cao’s music label due to the leak is estimated to be about NT$12 million (about RM1.25 million). The leak has also forced his record label to destroy the partially completed master recording for the song and compose new music for it before sending it to the US once more for post-production work.

The worst part of it all is that this incident will undoubtedly delay Gary Cao’s new album, which was originally scheduled for release later this month. Following that, his promotional schedules and deals have also been pushed back.

C’mon now, you can’t blame the dude for being upset.

Justin Bieber = Diva?

“Make way! Diva coming through! Move it, move it!”

You know, Justin might as well have his personal assistant plus bodyguards plus friends scream those words wherever he’s going because he totally made his “diva debut” yesterday. It seems that he was shopping in Miami when an incident involving the paparazzo happened.

And no, he didn’t beat anyone up this time. He simply walked out from one of the stores and decided that Christmas should come early for the paparazzo. What is this pre-Christmas “treat”, you ask? A copy of his album? His autograph? A flying kiss?

Nope. More like..a flying bottle. Justin Bieber threw a bottle of water one of the paparazzo!

He got away with it this time around though. But only because there weren’t any cops around to witness the divaness. Also, according to the state law, he could’ve been slapped with a USD50 fine for littering. Yes, a water bottle is considered litter – especially if you’re throwing it around or at someone.


The Crash Of Us: PC Version Of The Hit Zombie Game Gets Slammed With Negative Reviews

Like their viral bite, zombies have infected the minds and imaginations of people all over the globe. The simplistic idea of an unflinching horde that only grows has captivated book lovers, gamers, and moviegoers alike. That is why many people were stoked to find out that the hit 2013 PS3 game was going to receive new life in PC gaming.

However, the once phenomenal game, revered for its fluid gameplay and excellent story, is now under fire from hardcore fans and casual players due to one thing: crashes.

The game released on Steam late in March of this year, but received mixed reviews at the time of writing. This is because of the numerous visual bugs that plagued the game, which eventually caused the entire thing to crash, repeatedly, for some gamers. Many even stated that the game was unplayable and that they should fire the developers behind the PC port.

Many chose to get a refund for the game as they found the cost of giving their computer a seizure just wasn’t worth it, dubbing this entire fiasco “The Crash of Us.” However, that doesn’t mean it was all bad. Some people actually get a good game in their experience, but those people are few and far between, as they still cite some minor issues here and there.

The Last of Us Part I PC players: we've heard your concerns, and our team is actively investigating multiple issues you've reported.

We will continue to update you, but our team is prioritizing updates and will address issues in upcoming patches.

— Naughty Dog (@Naughty_Dog) March 28, 2023

The developer of The Last of Us, Naughty Dog, has gone on Twitter and acknowledged the state of their game and the wrath of their fans. They have issued a statement saying that they will work on patching the game and will monitor the support pages to help those who wish to continue playing the game.

Fans are not necessarily angry at Naughty Dog; the developers have been very kind to their playerbase. They are very mad, however, at the one responsible for the port, Iron Galaxy, who has remained silent on all social media platforms at the time of writing. Many people are hoping that this won’t happen again, but with Iron Galaxy’s track record, they aren’t holding their breath.


Here Comes Zynga’s “Draw Something 2”

Last year, “Draw Something” took the portable “gaming” world by storm when it was launched. In six weeks, the app achieved more than 20 million downloads for both the paid and free app versions. Remember when a handful of us fell victim to the popular Pictionary-like doodle game? How many of you invested more hours than you’d like to admit drawing pictures after pictures for your friends?

Zynga has officially launched the follow up to the highly successful “Draw Something”, aptly named “Draw Something 2”. The latest version of the popular game brings new ways to play, a number of new drawing tools, as well as patterns and textures that can be incorporated into drawing.

In addition to drawing features, the game includes a live social feed where players can follow friends, celebrities or artists. Users can also like and comment on pictures that aren’t part of the game in which they’re specifically involved. This would bring a whole new kind of experience, giving people new and more creative way to connect with friends via drawing, sharing, and stalking checking out the feed.

“Draw Something 2” is now available for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod here.

#TamanKlangJaya: Cat Found Hanging From Lamp Post; Angers Netizens

A little more than a month after the Cheras Leisure Mall dog bashing case, another animal abuse case has surfaced, this time involving a cat.

Wong Che Wey, 32, found the cat hanging from a lamp post outside his house at Taman Klang Jaya after returning from work on Wednesday evening (11th May). It is not known if the cat was dead or alive before it was tied to the lamp post and no perpetrator has been held responsible so far.

Wong subsequently posted a status on Facebook, which went viral and garnered many comments by netizens who were angered by the cruel deed. Many netizens also commended Wong and the unknown woman pictured in the photo above for their kind actions.

One of the netizens, Jasmene Abdullah, commented: “The innocent kittens are now with out a mother. Who ever did the despicable murder are monsters! Thq to the kind lady who helped untie & bury the mummy.” Another commenter named Pinky Princess Lee said, “Rot in hell to the bastard who did this!!! You will die the same way!! ??“

Wong also uploaded a few photos of the incident, which showed the cat hung by its front paws to a lamp post. A photo of a hole Wong dug to bury the cat was included too.

“There were flies around the cat’s mouth and head, so what we decided was to quickly bury it,” Wong said when contacted by The Star. The cat was a regular stray in the area and was friendly with the locals.

Living in a sick neighbourhood where the strays being tortured to death. On behalf of human, I am sorry. RIP kitty… We will look after your kittens.

The cat recently gave birth to a litter of 4 kittens, and Wong is currently looking for volunteers to adopt them. If you, or anyone you know would like to adopt the kittens, do contact Wong at 012-2557227.

SAG Awards Wins

The 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards® (SAG) screened early yesterday morning exclusively on FOX Movies Premium (Astro Ch 413) and FOX Movies Premium HD (Astro Ch 433). Did you manage to catch it live? No? Fret not, we’ve got the full winners list of the SAG Awards right here!

Once again, Ben Affleck’s “Argo” took home the biggest win at the SAG Awards while Jennifer Lawrence walked away with “Best Actress” for her role as a troubled widow in “Silver Linings Playbook”. “Les Miserables” star, Anne Hathaway and “Lincoln” stars, Daniel Day-Lewis and Tommy Lee Jones too walked away with a few SAG accolades of their own.

Hype’s Now Playing: Hardwell – IAH United We Are 2015 Live At Ziggo Dome

Earlier last month, Hardwell took over the Ziggo Dome arena in Amsterdam to celebrate the release of his debut artiste album, “United We Are“. The party, which spanned across two nights, was sold out both nights. Needless to say, #TeamHardwell was ecstatic to have been able to rave on both nights as Hardwell caused some serious damage, setting fire to the dance floor (not literally) and blowing the roof off the place (also not literally).

Not only was his two-night gig livestreamed for all to see, not only was it was meant to coincide with the launch of his long awaited album, but it also came with a surprise – Hardwell officially kicked off his second world tour “I AM HARDWELL – United We Are” at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam! We know, right? What other surprises could this young DJ/producer extraordinaire possibly have left up his sleeve?

Well, what do you say to the Ziggo Dome live set? ;)

This past week, Hardwell surpassed 2 million Twitter followers, demonstrating his exponentially growing fan base and his leadership in dance music culture. As such, to give thanks to his adoring fans, he has decided to release his exclusive 2-hour long set from the Ziggo Dome on YouTube for fans to watch whenever they want to.

Congratulations on the Twitter milestone, Hardwell! This can only mean bigger and better things to come :D

#KanyeWest: Controversial Hip Hop Baddie’s Twitter Apologies To Beck & Bruno Mars

Hip hop star Kanye West apologised to Beck after he loudly objected to the alternative rocker winning the GRAMMY for “Album of the Year”.

“I would like to publicly apologise to Beck. I’m sorry Beck,” West wrote on Twitter on Thursday (26th Feb). West also apologised to funk-driven young star Bruno Mars, writing, “I used to hate on him but I really respect what he does as an artiste.”

I would like to publicly apologize to Beck, I’m sorry Beck.

— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 26, 2015

I also want to publicly apologize to Bruno Mars, I used to hate on him but I really respect what he does as an artist.

I also would love for Bruno to sing this hook on this song 88 Keys / Puff and I produced… I even asked Tyler to shoot the vid.

The statements of contrition come after West stole some of the limelight at the GRAMMYs on 8th Feb by questioning the surprise honour for Beck’s “Morning Phase”, a melancholy album driven by acoustic guitar and strings.

West briefly rushed toward the stage and later told an interviewer that Beck should “respect artistry” by giving the prize to Beyonce.

West, one of the most awarded artistes with 21 GRAMMYs over his career, argued that the music industry’s premier event should recognise top-selling musicians as they earn advertising revenue by performing at the televised gala.

But last week, West said that he finally heard “Morning Phase” while at a restaurant with Taylor Swift – another artiste he has berated in the past – and enjoyed the album.

Beck, known for his eclectic mash-ups of genres, has won critical acclaim over his 2-decade career but his fan base is far more niche than those of West or Beyonce.

Is Jason Mraz Returning To Malaysia For Another Concert?

Can y’all believe that it’s been a decade since Jason Mraz released his monster hit, “I’m Yours”?

This coming August, the 41-year-old singer will be debuting his 6th studio album, “Know”. The Grammy winner said, “It’s an album about love and knowledge, and that’s why the album is called Know. You have a big heart on the front cover because knowledge is power, and the heart is a flower.”

With the new album in sight, fans will also be expecting a tour to follow. In speaking with Says, the musician was asked if he has any plans to visit Malaysia again. “Oh, definitely. Yeah, we’re working on that right now. It’ll probably be some time in early 2019, trying to figure that out right now,” he told the publication.

In case you don’t remember, Mraz has been on our local shores twice – first in 2009, and again in 2012. Although he toured Southeast Asia in 2014, including Singapore and other neighbouring countries, Malaysia wasn’t included in his pitstops.

The singer-songwriter also released a new single, “Have It All”, which was inspired “by a blessing he received from a buddhist monk” during his visit to Myanmar.

The upcoming record, “Know” will be out on 10th August 2018.

Christmas Gift Guide: These Are Our Favourite Festive Gift Ideas

It’s Christmas time soon, which means that it’s the season of giving and sharing the love with thoughtful gifts. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Movement Control Orders and social distancing, shopping for the perfect gift has become harder than it’s ever been before.

So, since we already know the difficulties that come with freely browsing for gifts at this time, we have created a list of our favourite gifts to help you keep the spirit of Christmas alive with ease this 2020.

The best thing about this season is the music. No matter what is going on around you, as soon as one hears a Christmas jingle, it’s guaranteed to get you in the holiday mood instantly. That’s exactly why we are gifted with new Christmas songs every year, and this year isn’t any different. From Meghan Trainor to Carrie Underwood, this year’s Christmas albums are the ideal gifts for both Christmas and music lovers.

‘Tis the season for spending quality time with family and friends. So, having a fun activity to enjoy together is a must during this season! The “Big Book of Christmas Games” is ideal for this, as they have an array of interactive holiday themed games all tucked into one cute big book. Whether this gift is given to a mother, father, sibling or friend, anyone from any age is bound to enjoy its multiple activities.

No matter what age you are, none of us can deny that there’s a pure excitement to creating your own Christmas decorations. How thrilling it is to bring all the festive colours together with sequins, glitter and more to create baubles, snow globes, and even gingerbread houses! With that in mind, another gift idea that’ll be perfect for young kids is DIY Christmas crafts, which can be crafted according to their own imagination.

The classic Christmas festivities not only pleases the eyes and the spirit, but also satisfies our sense of smell. Traditional Christmas flavours, such as apple and cinnamon, are a great addition to a merry celebration – That is why lighting up an Apple Cinnamon candle to brighten up your day is always a good idea. These Christmassy candles smell like heaven and will take your breath away!

Butter Matters 2020 has a Christmas Gift Package that will make your holiday breakfast, lunch and dinner even better! These homemade butters now come in a variety of Christmas butter flavours, namely Gingerbread Butter, Merry Berry Butter, Feliz Tomate Butter, and a You Mustard About Santa Butter. Each butter is made with high-quality ingredients, and can be purchased in a wrapped up festive gift package with any three Christmas butter flavours of your choice.

It’s a holly jolly time for some self-care all year round, and this definitely applies to the month of December as well. Gift yourself with the joy of self-care with the ‘3 Steps Flawless Kit’ from Freeman. And this gift pack, which showcases a luxurious array of gel masks, clay masks, cleanser and glacier water for combating maskne, is ideal for Christmas in 2020! Thanks to all the masks and the problems they have caused for our skin this year, we can end the year with a bang with this gift worthy maskne solutions kit.

Is there anything better than chocolate wrapped up in a gorgeous gift box? We doubt it! And, this is no ordinary gift box with ordinary chocolate. The gift boxes from Cherita Chocolate consists of an array of delicious options, such as Chocolate and Hazelnut Blends, Salted Gula Melaka Dark Chocolate and much more. All these items are sustainable gifts, so give back to your loved ones while also giving back to the world with this chocolatey goodness.

The Origin Bulk store is giving us Christmas in a jar, and we absolutely love this eco-conscious initiative! This hamper promotes zero waste and comes with 6 different snack bottles filled to the brim, such as Pecan Trails, Royal Mix, Dried Cranberries, Dried Apricot, Oat Cookies and Roasted Pistachios/Walnuts, all packaged in glass jars and Origin reusable eco canvas bags. There’s many things to love about these eco gifts, including the fact that it’s healthy, delicious and most importantly, kind to the Earth!

What better way to end 2020 than with the two essential items that have been with us throughout these long social distancing filled months. And with the way things are going, it seems like we’ll have to carry our masks and sanitisers into the coming new year as well! So, since everyone loves a gift they can really use, masks and sanitisers would be quite an appropriate Christmas git. And there are some really fancy masks and sanitisers out there, so who knows, you might even be able to get Christmas themed ones!

Tanamsara Heights is helping all the plant mums and dads to grow an even bigger plant family with this beautiful Christmas plant-it-yourself gift box. The gift box includes a live variegated ivy plant, a rustic clay pot for repotting, soil, pebbles, Shamrock fertiliser, planting tools and a gift card. We simply can’t get enough of this beautiful gift that brings joy to both us and Mother Nature.

What more does one need to enrich their gardens with love and care?

The best part about customised gifts is that they are made exclusively for the person you are gifting them to. The thought, love and effort put into designing a gift that perfectly suits someone has an extra special touch to it. And isn’t Christmas all about making your loved ones feel extra special on this blessed day? That’s not all, customised gifts can also be chosen according to items that we use daily, so whoever you gift these items to will be reminded of the joy of Christmas everyday!

(UPDATE) #PervertAlert: Woman Traumatised After Being Sexually Harassed By Stranger On LRT

“Can I hisap you?” (Translation: Can I suck you)

Facebook user Dini Van Haeren shared her harrowing experience when she was sexually harassed by a man while taking the LRT to work yesterday (Monday, 13th March). In her Facebook status, she posted 2 snapshots of the stranger together with her account on what happened.

Yesterday, Dini boarded the LRT at the Kelana Jaya station shortly before 8am. Just as she was about to enter the train, she noticed a man sizing her “up and down” with a “naughty” expression on his face. Knowing he was up to no good, Dini was on high alert.

The situation got worst when she heard him whisper, “Fuuuh, can I hisap you?” or “Fuuuh, can I suck you?“. The harassment continued as he went on “smiling and making faces” at her. “Since the train was almost full, I stood pretty near him, while he was right at the door of the train,” the 21-year-old explained.

Dini proceeded to take pictures of the pervert but he quickly shield his face with a packet drink. Feeling violated and shaken, she put a good distance between them, saying, “I didn’t want him to see that I was crying, he would probably feel happy he got that.”

Dini ended her post with a word of caution to other passenger when using public transport. “I wish I could have done more in terms of creating a scene to protect myself, for people to know and be aware of this man,” she said.

Since the incident, Dini has lodged a report to RapidKL about this case. “They were very prompt with their responses and said that they will play close attention to this situation. I really appreciated that from them,” she added.

Many netizens have since expressed their sympathy and concern for her.

A few months ago, a similar incident occurred when a woman named Syima felt a man rubbing his crotch against her body while on the LRT.

Don’t be afraid to cause a scene and ask for help if you find yourself being sexually harassed by a stranger.

Good news, peeps! The Prasarana Malaysia Berhad (Prasarana) auxiliary police has caught the pervert who harassed Dini on Monday. The suspect has been identified as a 37-year-old man from Lembah Subang, Selangor.

In a Facebook post, Dini said that the Prasarana team reached out to her and handled the issue seriously. She wrote, “I even met up with their task force and they queried me if I was certain that i wanted to report this offender because they said that many victims in similar circumstances refused to take the next step of formally reporting the offender to the police. I told them that I wanted the offender to be apprehended so that he would not commit the same act to other women.”

According to NST, CEO of Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd Dato Ir. Zohari Sulaiman said that they have been on the lookout for the suspect since the 21-year-old victim shared her horrible encounter.

He said, “We spoke with Dini to obtain more details and secured footage of the suspect from our CCTV recordings. We have been on the lookout for the suspect for the past few days, and are pleased to share that he was successfully apprehended at the Taman Jaya LRT station yesterday (Thursday, 16th March).”

Finally, Zohari reminded passengers to remain alert and calm should they encounter any unpleasant situation and promptly alert staff, the auxiliary police, or even nearby passengers for support and assistance.

#ShilaAmzah: Malaysian Singer’s K-pop Covers Are Going Viral On Social Media

There’s no denying that Hallyu (Korean wave) – be it K-Dramas or K-pop – is all over our media.

Malaysian songstress Shila Amzah (茜拉) has also jumped on the Korean bandwagon and her amazing K-pop covers are currently trending on social media. Her home-recorded videos were also noticed by Korean entertainment website, Koreaboo, who praised the singer for beautiful vocals.

Shila is well known for being a multilingual singer Malay, English, and Mandarin. The Malaysian national treasure first rose to fame in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan when she won the Chinese reality singing competition, “Asian Wave”. She also took part and made it all the way to the end in “I Am a Singer Season 2”, a popular talent show in China that draws in 500 million viewership every week.

The talented musician has always been a K-pop fan and had previously expressed her desire to break into the Korean market. “First, I have to work really hard on my pronunciation. Then maybe I’ll record a video of me singing in Korean and hope that it will go viral. (Breaking into the Korean music industry) is not going to be easy, but I will do my best,” Shila told The New Paper back in 2014.

Since breaking into the Chinese music industry, the 26-year-old pop star now has her sights set on South Korea. Based on her various covers of Korean hits, Koreaboo notes that Shila tends to favour YG Entertainment artistes by covering Big Bang’s “Last Dance”,2NE1’s “Come Back Home”, and Blackpink’s “Whistle”. Her latest cover is none other than Crush’s emotional ballad, “Beautiful”, taken from the K-Drama hit “Goblin” (도깨비).

Fans can also check out more covers such as GUMMY’s “You Are My Everything”, the original soundtrack of famous Korean drama “Descendant of the Sun” on her YouTube channel. Regardless whether you’re a fan of Shila, you have to admit that she’s one heck of a singer.

My mandarin album , is now available on Spotify ! Yay ❤ open.spotify.com/album/3VsT3CcQ…

A photo posted by 씰라茜拉shila amzah?? (@shahilaamzah) on Jan 8, 2017 at 2:16am PST

To date, Shila is the only Malay artiste with the highest number of Mandarin single sales in Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan. She is also the first Malay singer to enjoy success in Chinese-speaking countries. Hopefully she’ll be able to expand towards Korea soon.

Her latest album, which is also her debut Chinese album, “My Journey” (心旅), is currently available on Spotify.
