Life Hack: Removing Scars WITHOUT Plastic Surgery  HOLD ON TO THE PAST or JUMP INTO THE FUTURE? 

Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli has officially announced his resignation from the Cabinet, ending his tenure as Malaysia&rsquo;s Minister of Economy. In a statement released on 28 May 2025 and echoed in a social media post the same day, Rafizi confirmed that his resignation will take effect on 17 June 2025. He will begin utilising the remainder of his annual leave starting immediately, which will run until 16 June.
&ldquo;I have submitted my resignation letter to the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim,&rdquo; Rafizi wrote. &ldquo;This resignation takes effect from 17 June. Beginning today, I will be on leave until then.&rdquo;
Stepping Down After Losing Party Mandate
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/09ce598a4df47bf9006e102447965e1627c45c4d860251b46e40e142cf984347" />
The move follows his recent defeat in the PKR party elections, where he lost his position as deputy president to Nurul Izzah Anwar. The result, seen as a significant political shift within PKR, saw Nurul Izzah securing 9,803 votes compared to Rafizi&rsquo;s 3,866.
Rafizi explained that his resignation was driven by a commitment to democratic principles and political accountability.
&ldquo;I joined politics to cultivate a new political culture grounded in responsibility and the people&rsquo;s mandate,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;My loss in the recent party election means I no longer hold that mandate from PKR to carry the rakyat&rsquo;s agenda into government policy.&rdquo;
He added that in nations that uphold democratic norms, it is common for leaders who lose internal party elections to make way for the new leadership to assume governmental roles. &ldquo;It is not appropriate for someone outside the top party leadership to remain in the Cabinet,&rdquo; he said, reaffirming a stance he had made prior to the elections.
Final Contribution: The 13th Malaysia Plan
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ad28f7bb86c66fca20da98ae9fcd3b110eaf5c476de04114f05f854dc687a5d6" />
Rafizi noted that his final responsibility as Minister of Economy had been fulfilled with the completion of the 13th Malaysia Plan (RMK13), a comprehensive national development blueprint now ready to be tabled in Parliament during the upcoming session.
&ldquo;RMK13 places strong emphasis on thorough education reforms, including key structural changes involving the Ministry of Education,&rdquo; he shared. &ldquo;I hope these bold reforms will be upheld by the Cabinet, even though I will no longer be part of it.&rdquo;
He stressed that the RMK13 was crafted not merely as a policy document, but as a long-term roadmap aimed at enhancing Malaysia&rsquo;s economic resilience and educational infrastructure.
Gratitude, Reflections and A Difficult but Necessary Path

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

In his farewell note, Rafizi expressed deep appreciation to the civil service, particularly the officers at the Ministry of Economy, for their unwavering support and professionalism throughout his tenure.
&ldquo;I have personally witnessed the capability and efficiency of many civil servants in formulating effective policies and following through with robust implementation frameworks,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I am confident that the programmes aimed at reforming Malaysia&rsquo;s economic structure will continue to thrive under their stewardship.&rdquo;
He also extended his gratitude to all Malaysians, including those in the public and private sectors, the media, and various stakeholders who engaged with him during his time in office.
Rafizi concluded by acknowledging the tough road ahead for the nation but maintained that the long-term mission to elevate Malaysia to a high-income country must continue &mdash; even if the decisions involved are difficult and politically costly.
&ldquo;Our journey to transform Malaysia&rsquo;s economic structure into a more resilient and equitable one is far from over,&rdquo; he stated. &ldquo;We must continue to make sound long-term decisions, no matter how difficult or challenging they may be, for the sake of future generations.&rdquo;
A Career Marked by Principle and Reform
Rafizi&rsquo;s resignation marks a significant moment in the political landscape, not only for the Unity Government but also for PKR, as it navigates leadership changes and policy continuity. His departure signals a strong stance on democratic accountability, reflecting a politician who has consistently advocated for structural reforms, transparency, and data-driven governance. Though no longer in Cabinet, Rafizi's influence on Malaysia's economic policy and political discourse is likely to endure.
&lt;---Update @ 5:08pm ---&gt;
Update: Nik Nazmi Also Steps Down Following Party Poll Loss
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/50b8b1e6ac2e3c581310844b690609032a4021d07283d7bcfbe85f55936b4686" />
Following Rafizi Ramli&rsquo;s resignation, Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad has also tendered his resignation after failing to retain his PKR vice-presidency. The two-term Setiawangsa MP confirmed he submitted his resignation letter to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and will officially vacate his ministerial post on 4 July. He will be on leave from 29 May until the day before his departure.
In a statement, Nik Nazmi acknowledged that his role as PKR vice-president was a key factor in his Cabinet appointment. With that mandate now lost, he said it was appropriate for him to make way. He also failed to defend his position as Setiawangsa PKR chief during the party&rsquo;s divisional elections last month.
Nik Nazmi, who ran alongside Rafizi in the party elections, reiterated his commitment to serving as the Member of Parliament for Setiawangsa. His decision mirrors Rafizi&rsquo;s stance that Cabinet positions should be held by those with a clear mandate from the party.

Rafizi Ramli Resigns As Economy Minister Following PKR Defeat; Nik Nazmi Follows Suit

In a significant development for animal welfare in Malaysia, the Kuala Terengganu High Court has dismissed an attempt by the Terengganu state government and the Besut District Council to strike out a lawsuit involving the alleged unlawful killing of a stray dog named Kopi. The decision means the case will proceed to a full hearing, with the court scheduled to deliver its verdict on 13 August 2025.
The lawsuit, brought by four animal rights activists, has drawn national attention and stirred public debate about the treatment of strays and the responsibilities of local authorities. Lawyer Rajesh Nagarajan, representing the plaintiffs, praised the court&rsquo;s ruling as a critical step forward.
&ldquo;This is a huge win for animal rights in Malaysia generally and a positive first step towards obtaining justice for Kopi, who was murdered in cold blood,&rdquo; he told reporters following the decision.
Who Was Kopi? The Gentle Stray That Captured Hearts
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/8c626530dfec40c55b530a2c4af6843017a19386865421f6f62abffbbe80d4b6" />
Read: <a href="https://myc.my/articles/3852/justiceforkopi-besut-district-council-under-fire-for-inhumanely-taking-down-beloved-stray-dog">#JusticeForKopi: Besut District Council Under Fire For Inhumanely Taking Down Beloved Stray Dog</a>
Kopi was a familiar figure in the Besut district, known to many residents and animal lovers for her calm and affectionate demeanour. Her popularity soared in March 2024, after a video went viral on social media showing her gently playing with a stray kitten. The video, uploaded by one of her feeders, Abby Razali, garnered widespread attention and led to a wave of online affection.
But that public goodwill turned into collective outrage when news broke that Kopi had been shot dead during a stray dog culling operation carried out by the Besut District Council. The shooting occurred in the early hours of 6 October 2024, reportedly around 1.30am.
According to Dr Kartini Farah Abdul Rahim, one of the plaintiffs, several residents were awakened by the sound of gunshots. Upon investigating, they observed three council officers driving around in a pick-up truck. Shortly after, Kopi was found dead from gunshot wounds. Her death, initially revealed via a post on the &ldquo;My Forever Doggo&rdquo; Instagram account, prompted widespread condemnation and demands for accountability.
Legal Grounds: Alleged Breach of Animal Welfare Law
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e907973a3f7a58a3a46c32d3adca704059d0898c6afdd59ef06172bba8ddbb10" />
The lawsuit filed in December 2024 argues that the killing of Kopi was not only morally indefensible but also unlawful under Malaysia&rsquo;s Animal Welfare Act 2015. The plaintiffs &mdash; Dr Kartini, S. Mukunnan, Hong Hai San, and S. Shashi Kumar &mdash; are contending that the use of firearms to kill the dog and the unnecessary suffering inflicted on her contravene Sections 29(e) and 30(1) of the Act.
Section 29(e) prohibits causing unnecessary pain or suffering to animals, while Section 30(1) forbids the killing of animals using a firearm, except under specific conditions outlined in Section 30(2). These exceptions include approval by a veterinary authority, instances where an animal poses imminent danger to human life, or where such action is necessary to control the spread of disease.
The plaintiffs are therefore seeking a declaration from the court that the use of firearms in this case was not legally justified, and that the authorities acted beyond the bounds of the law.
Challenging Local By-Laws
Beyond the immediate question of Kopi&rsquo;s death, the case also seeks to address a broader legal conflict between federal and local regulations. The activists are challenging the legality of the Besut District Council&rsquo;s Dog Licensing By-Laws 1990, specifically Sections 9(1) and 9(2), which empower council officers to shoot licensed or unlicensed dogs if no owner can be located.
The plaintiffs argue that these by-laws are incompatible with the stricter protections afforded by the Animal Welfare Act, a federal law that supersedes local legislation. They assert that allowing council officers to indiscriminately kill strays undermines national legal standards and sets a dangerous precedent.
Government and Council&rsquo;s Defence
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b942327aba2f26d32299330a8a8665c83cbfa712db5ff2aa548012c15e15353c" />
In response to the lawsuit, the Terengganu state government filed a motion on 31 December 2024 to have the suit dismissed, followed by a similar motion from the district council on 1 January 2025. They argued that the culling was conducted in accordance with existing local regulations and that standard operating procedures were followed.
A statement issued by the Besut District Council on 13 October 2024 maintained that the actions taken during the culling operation were lawful. However, this justification has failed to appease critics, who argue that even if procedures were followed, the procedures themselves may be unlawful under federal law.
A Moment of Reckoning for Animal Welfare in Malaysia
The case has galvanised animal rights supporters across the country and is being closely watched by legal experts, animal advocacy groups, and members of the public alike. Many see it as a test of Malaysia&rsquo;s commitment to upholding the protections enshrined in the Animal Welfare Act.
&ldquo;This isn&rsquo;t just about one dog,&rdquo; said Rajesh Nagarajan. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s about the message we send regarding how animals &mdash; especially vulnerable strays &mdash; are treated in this country. The law must be clear, and it must be just.&rdquo;
The High Court has directed all parties to submit written arguments ahead of the August hearing, where it will ultimately decide whether the killing of Kopi was lawful. Until then, Kopi&rsquo;s story continues to serve as both a symbol of injustice and a rallying point for those advocating for stronger protections for animals across Malaysia.

Killing Of Stray Dog ‘Kopi’ Heads To High Court As Activists Win Major Legal Challenge

Despite much anticipation, BLACKPINK will not be making a stop in Malaysia for their upcoming DEADLINE world tour. The announcement has left many local fans disheartened, especially given the group's history of sold-out shows in Kuala Lumpur. While YG Entertainment continues to push ahead with one of K-pop&rsquo;s biggest global concert events, questions remain over why Malaysia has been sidelined &mdash; and whether that decision might yet be reversed.
A Tour Without Malaysia On The List
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/f972193fe5db067ffe726f773da0ff025e7b100910aec1276c5ac228670e2f61" />
On 27 May, YG Entertainment finally unveiled the long-awaited Asia dates for BLACKPINK&rsquo;s DEADLINE tour. While fans across the region celebrated the news, Malaysian BLINKs were met with disappointment. Unlike during the IN YOUR AREA and BORN PINK tours, Kuala Lumpur was conspicuously absent from the Asia leg of this new tour.
According to the official schedule, BLACKPINK will perform across six major Asian locations &mdash; Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Hong Kong &mdash; between October 2025 and January 2026. Each of these cities will host the group for two to three nights, underscoring YG&rsquo;s commitment to large-scale, multi-day concerts in major urban centres.
For Malaysian fans, this exclusion has sparked a wave of online frustration and speculation. One theory suggests that the lack of suitable indoor venues in Malaysia &mdash; most large-capacity locations here are outdoor stadiums &mdash; may have been a key factor. Others have pointed to possible internal conflicts between YG Entertainment and local promoters as a potential reason for the omission.
Some fans remain hopeful that additional tour dates may be announced in the future, possibly extending into 2026. Until then, Malaysia&rsquo;s absence marks a rare and noticeable gap in BLACKPINK&rsquo;s regional footprint.
The DEADLINE Tour: Asia Dates and Venues
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2710fd950f32b9fcef18fa107dc7cae2a4d52fd33f3c6af125b75081b7c570b1" />
BLACKPINK&rsquo;s DEADLINE world tour is set to be a global spectacle, with 31 shows in 16 cities confirmed so far. The Asia leg of the tour will kick off on 18 October in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and continue through to January 2026. The cities and dates for Asia are as follows:
<ul>
<li>Kaohsiung, Taiwan &ndash; 18&ndash;19 October</li>
<li>Bangkok, Thailand &ndash; 24&ndash;26 October</li>
<li>Jakarta, Indonesia &ndash; 1&ndash;2 November</li>
<li>Bulacan, Philippines &ndash; 22&ndash;23 November</li>
<li>Singapore &ndash; 29&ndash;30 November</li>
<li>Hong Kong &ndash; 24&ndash;25 January 2026</li>
</ul>
These dates follow a busy summer schedule across South Korea, North America, and Europe. The tour begins in Goyang, South Korea in early July, before heading to major global cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, New York, Paris, Milan, Barcelona, and London &mdash; where BLACKPINK will headline two nights at Wembley Stadium on 15 and 16 August.
Record-Breaking Legacy and High Expectations
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/81c17fe899675ee549d9ddb5762c1817aaf378551c793636a05b44e4e704d1b5" />
The DEADLINE tour comes on the heels of BLACKPINK&rsquo;s hugely successful BORN PINK tour, which ran from 2022 to 2023 and drew over 1.8 million attendees worldwide. The tour grossed more than USD 148 million across 29 shows, making it the highest-grossing concert tour ever by a girl group.
With DEADLINE, YG Entertainment promises to deliver a tour &ldquo;at the peak of BLACKPINK&rsquo;s performance history.&rdquo; The label highlighted the intense preparation and focus behind the scenes &mdash; fitting for a group that continues to set industry standards for K-pop on the world stage.
Adding to the excitement is the long-awaited announcement of new music. DEADLINE will coincide with BLACKPINK&rsquo;s comeback, marking their first group release in nearly two years and eight months since the September 2022 drop of BORN PINK.
Solo Stardom in the Spotlight
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/84ecddd05aeb0af475047336dfae11019469e5c55496a92ab22128d5da005e24" />
In the time since BORN PINK, each BLACKPINK member has been exploring solo ventures with significant success. Ros&eacute; teamed up with Bruno Mars for the smash hit APT., which recently crossed one billion streams on Spotify, while her December 2024 solo release Rosie garnered strong reviews for its emotional depth and artistic maturity.
Lisa and Jennie both launched full-length solo albums. Lisa&rsquo;s <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/7bRumRaEIgUBnHiwiORk6J?si=Sx-IkZ8nTcazYCMUrPCwhA">Alter Ego</a> was praised for its ambition, though critics noted it still feels like a work in progress as she carves out her identity beyond BLACKPINK. Jennie&rsquo;s <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/1vWMw6pu3err6qqZzI3RhH?si=5f_Tmu80QxufU9N-CAoopA">Ruby</a>, on the other hand, received four stars for its polished production and confident self-expression.
Jisoo, too, impressed with her debut <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/1hmW4opQGq4hIYTbEWsyqW?si=bnW2nsaxQOqtaRvEvSfRJA">EP Amortage</a>, earning critical acclaim for showcasing her unique strengths without attempting an over-the-top reinvention. Collectively, these projects reflect the growing artistic independence of each member, even as they prepare to reunite on stage for DEADLINE.
Ticketing and Presale Details
Fans eager to secure their place at one of BLACKPINK&rsquo;s Asia shows can register for global presale access via Weverse BLINK Membership until 1 June (11:59PM KST). A Visa-exclusive presale for Asia begins on 11 June at 11AM Singapore time for Visa Infinite cardholders, followed by broader access for all Visa users later that day. General ticket sales will open on 12 June at 12PM local time through <a href="https://www.livenation.asia/blackpink-tickets-adp1239361">Live Nation&rsquo;s website</a> and affiliated ticketing partners.
Despite Malaysia&rsquo;s current exclusion, the tour&rsquo;s expansive scale and the group&rsquo;s immense popularity mean there may yet be surprises ahead. For now, fans from Kuala Lumpur and beyond may have to travel to catch the K-pop icons live &mdash; or hold out hope for a future announcement that brings BLACKPINK back to Malaysian shores.
Will Malaysia Be Added Later? While it remains unclear why Malaysia was left off the DEADLINE tour, the decision is not necessarily final. With months remaining before the Asia leg begins, fans are hopeful that additional dates could be revealed &mdash; especially if the tour extends into 2026.
Given BLACKPINK&rsquo;s history with Malaysia and their consistent support from local fans, it would not be surprising if the group eventually finds their way back to KL. Until then, Malaysian BLINKs will be watching closely, hoping their city gets the spotlight it deserves once more.

BLACKPINK Unveils ‘DEADLINE’ World Tour — But Malaysia Is Left Off the List

After years of speculation, teasing, and public demand, WhatsApp has officially launched a native app for the iPad. This long-awaited release marks a significant milestone for the Meta-owned platform, which, until now, has been conspicuously absent from the iPad&rsquo;s App Store despite being one of the world&rsquo;s most-used messaging services. Starting today, users can download WhatsApp for iPad directly from the Apple App Store&mdash;bringing the full power of the app to a larger screen, complete with iPadOS multitasking support, video and audio call features, and device synchronisation.
Over a Decade in the Making
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/08f22261a40c4881340a76fbef8977be6f03a847a163ffbad570d403b2df8df8" />
WhatsApp first emerged in 2009&mdash;ironically a year before Apple launched the original iPad&mdash;yet, for over 15 years, a dedicated iPad version remained elusive. Users were left to rely on the limited WhatsApp Web interface or employ unofficial workarounds to access the messaging platform on their tablets. These methods offered only a fraction of the full experience, lacking core features such as timely notifications, full media access, and the fluidity users have come to expect from native apps.
The pressure to develop an iPad app only intensified over the years, with user requests appearing daily on forums like Reddit and Twitter (now X). In 2022, WhatsApp head Will Cathcart publicly acknowledged the demand and expressed a strong interest in bringing the service to iPadOS. A beta version of the app surfaced in 2023, but no release followed&mdash;until now. Just days before the launch, WhatsApp&rsquo;s official X account responded to a user&rsquo;s post asking for an iPad app with a cryptic &ldquo;eye emoji&rdquo;, hinting at what was to come. Today, that promise has finally materialised.

WhatsApp for iPad brings all the features users already know and love from the iPhone version, now tailored for the iPad&rsquo;s larger display. This includes voice and video calls for up to 32 participants, the ability to share screens, and support for both front and rear cameras. These features are further enhanced by iPad-exclusive tools such as Center Stage, Studio Light, Reactions, and background effects&mdash;making calls not just functional but visually engaging.
The app's interface has been redesigned to make use of the iPad&rsquo;s screen real estate. A split-view layout displays your contact list on the left and conversations on the right, providing a more desktop-like experience. Navigation is intuitive, with tabs at the bottom for Updates, Calls, Communities, Chats, and Settings. Voice message transcription is also supported, allowing users to read audio messages&mdash;an invaluable feature in noisy environments or professional settings.
You can also view disappearing &ldquo;view-once&rdquo; media, a feature that was previously inaccessible on web-based versions used on iPads.
Built for iPadOS: A Productivity Powerhouse
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6c30dbff22613567f3b317077757ab5edad84afa8bb69b3c03a05dee9733fffb" />
Meta has clearly built this app with multitasking in mind. WhatsApp for iPad supports key iPadOS features such as Split View, Slide Over and Stage Manager. This allows users to operate WhatsApp alongside other applications, enabling tasks like responding to messages while browsing the web or attending a call while reviewing documents. The integration is especially valuable for users who rely on their iPads for work, creative projects or digital planning.
Stage Manager functionality is available on select iPads, including:
<ul>
<li>iPad Pro with M4</li>
<li>iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation and newer)</li>
<li>iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation and newer)</li>
<li>iPad Air (5th generation and newer, including M2-based models)</li>
</ul>
Additionally, the app supports Apple&rsquo;s Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil, appealing to power users who use their iPads as laptop replacements. Whether you&rsquo;re sketching, typing long messages, or using WhatsApp for business communications, these accessories make the experience far more versatile.
Seamless Cross-Device Sync with Enhanced Privacy

WhatsApp for iPad is powered by the same multi-device architecture as its other platforms. This means your iPad can operate independently of your phone&mdash;once linked&mdash;syncing chat history, media and calls across your iPhone, Mac and other connected devices. You won&rsquo;t need your phone to be online to continue conversations on your iPad, and messages remain protected by end-to-end encryption.
Privacy remains a top priority. The iPad app includes features such as chat lock, which enables users to secure specific chats behind biometric authentication or a password. This is particularly useful for households where tablets are shared among family members.
A New Era for WhatsApp and Meta&rsquo;s iPad Strategy?
The release of WhatsApp for iPad could signal a broader shift within Meta towards embracing the tablet form factor. Reports suggest the company may be developing a dedicated iPad app for Instagram&mdash;another long-requested feature from users. While there&rsquo;s been no official word yet, the release of WhatsApp could pave the way for a more tablet-focused strategy across Meta&rsquo;s suite of services.
This development is also a strategic win for WhatsApp itself. By expanding into the iPad ecosystem, it opens new use cases for creatives, entrepreneurs, educators and remote workers&mdash;many of whom rely on their iPads for productivity. No longer confined to mobile phones or the limitations of a browser window, WhatsApp can now seamlessly integrate into more versatile workflows.
WhatsApp Invites Everyone To Share Your Feedback
WhatsApp says this is just the beginning of its iPad journey and has invited users to share feedback to help shape the future of the app. You can now download WhatsApp for iPad from the Apple App Store and explore all its new features&mdash;on a bigger screen, with more flexibility, and without compromise.
For those who&rsquo;ve waited patiently for this release, your patience has finally been rewarded. The WhatsApp experience on iPad is here, and it&rsquo;s ready to make multitasking, communication and collaboration easier than ever.

WhatsApp Finally Arrives On iPad: A Landmark Moment For Tablet Users

Malaysia is once again celebrating a landmark moment in badminton history as national shuttlers Goh Sze Fei and Nur Izzuddin Rumsani officially become the world's top-ranked men&rsquo;s doubles pair, according to the latest Badminton World Federation (BWF) rankings released on 27 May 2025. This milestone marks the first time a Malaysian men's doubles duo has ascended to the coveted No.1 position in nearly a decade.
A Return to the Summit After Almost a Decade
Goh and Nur, known affectionately by fans as FeiDin, now sit atop the global rankings with 91,090 points, surpassing Denmark&rsquo;s Kim Astrup and Anders Skaarup Rasmussen, who dropped to second place after failing to defend their title at the recently concluded Malaysia Masters. The Danes were dethroned following their semi-final loss to fellow Malaysians Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik.
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ad71ee2d0a199e13b2d8e6c5858678589dcf53675902b6be029a0a0847d61ddb" />
Although Goh and Nur themselves bowed out in the quarter-finals of the same tournament after losing to another Malaysian pair, Man Wei Chong and Tee Kai Wun, their consistent performances over the past year were enough to push them into the top spot. Their victory at the India Open in January 2025 was a pivotal moment, bolstering their climb after strong showings in 2024, which included titles at the Japan Open, China Open, and Arctic Open, as well as runner-up finishes at the BWF World Tour Finals and the Asian Championships.
This achievement makes Goh and Nur the first Malaysian men's doubles team to reach the world No.1 ranking since Goh V Shem and Tan Wee Kiong in March 2016. They also join a legendary group of Malaysian shuttlers who once held the same honour, including the Sidek brothers (Razif and Jalani), Cheah Soon Kit-Yap Kim Hock, and Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong.
Notably, this also marks the first time any Malaysian badminton player has reached world No.1 since singles icon Lee Chong Wei last held the spot in June 2017.
Staying on Top: The Challenge Ahead
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/9a6677ec4259f9940db8df52d514f06ef768bf495ce18d257d0a9682ef9417cb" />
While the pair have every reason to celebrate, former world No.1 Datuk Razif Sidek offered a word of caution. Speaking to local media, Razif praised the pair's success but reminded them that staying at the top is significantly harder than reaching it.
&ldquo;Congratulations to them &ndash; this is a fantastic achievement. But they must not get complacent. When you&rsquo;re number one, everyone is watching and targeting you. The pressure will be immense,&rdquo; he said.
Razif emphasised that without consistent performance and proper preparation, the pair risks losing their hard-earned position. &ldquo;Being on top must be motivation, not a destination. They must continue to train hard and think like champions if they are to remain at the peak,&rdquo; he added.
Spotlight on the Singapore Open
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d8889787cc7460478b45df06b3d36c4ac99303ad0b8277323e3259fb59f4ac36" />
Goh and Nur's reign could face an immediate challenge at the Singapore Open, which runs from 27 May to 1 June. In the first round, they will take on Taiwan&rsquo;s Lee Fang Chih and Lee Fang Jen. The Malaysians must reach at least the final to maintain their position. Should the Danish pair win the tournament and Goh-Nur exit early, the No.1 ranking could be lost as quickly as it was earned.
That said, the Danes have semi-final points from last year&rsquo;s Singapore Open to defend, while Goh and Nur could widen their lead by as much as 4,000 points if they reach the last four and Astrup-Rasmussen fall short in the quarters.
Rising Malaysian Forces in Men&rsquo;s Doubles
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/45ca06d22f93b451b36136b8821be5e6ea2aa5d93c95c2c57b2232aaa5139f66" />
Malaysia is currently enjoying a strong presence in the men&rsquo;s doubles category. Alongside world No.1 Goh-Nur, the pairing of Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik are ranked third, while the Malaysia Masters 2025 champions, Man Wei Chong and Tee Kai Wun, have climbed to seventh &ndash; their joint career-high. Four more Malaysian men&rsquo;s pairs are currently in the BWF top 32, reflecting the depth of talent in the nation&rsquo;s doubles scene.
Malaysia&rsquo;s Past Men&rsquo;s Doubles World No.1 Pairs
Malaysia&rsquo;s proud tradition in men&rsquo;s doubles is further cemented by the elite list of past No.1-ranked pairs:
<ul>
<li>1989 &ndash; Razif Sidek &amp; Jalani Sidek</li>
<li>1992 &ndash; Cheah Soon Kit &amp; Soo Beng Kiang</li>
<li>1996 &ndash; Cheah Soon Kit &amp; Yap Kim Hock</li>
<li>2002 &ndash; Chan Chong Ming &amp; Chew Choon Eng</li>
<li>2004 &ndash; Choong Tan Fook &amp; Lee Wan Wah</li>
<li>2007 &ndash; Koo Kien Keat &amp; Tan Boon Heong</li>
<li>2016 &ndash; Goh V Shem &amp; Tan Wee Kiong</li>
<li>2025 &ndash; Goh Sze Fei &amp; Nur Izzuddin Rumsani</li>
</ul>
From Separation to Stardom: The Journey of FeiDin
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e55eb7a03ca5f9ba9d02e15367b2213d540ad28bb3e7d12ba78be5ecccd7ecba" />
The path to world No.1 has not been easy for Goh and Nur. The pair originally partnered in 2017 but parted ways in 2023 due to a lack of on-court chemistry. However, they reunited just a few months later, reigniting their partnership with renewed determination.
Despite initial setbacks upon their reunion, including a series of early exits, their perseverance paid off. Their resurgence in 2024 laid the groundwork for this historic climb, culminating in the India Open victory and now, the world No.1 crown.
Fans across Malaysia have flooded social media with messages of pride and support, hailing the pair&rsquo;s grit and resilience.
A New Era for Malaysian Badminton?
The rise of Goh Sze Fei and Nur Izzuddin may signal the start of a new golden era for Malaysian men&rsquo;s doubles. With multiple pairs now firmly entrenched in the world&rsquo;s elite and younger talent on the rise, Malaysia looks poised to re-establish itself as a dominant force in international badminton.
For now, all eyes are on the Singapore Open as the newly crowned world No.1 pair sets out to defend their place at the top &ndash; and inspire a nation along the way.
A huge congratulations to FeiDin on their impressive win! Here&rsquo;s hoping they keep the momentum going&mdash;we can&rsquo;t wait to see even more victories in the near future!

Breaking an 8-year drought, FeiDin are now Malaysia’s first World No.1 men’s doubles pair since 2016.
