Over the years, we&rsquo;ve seen many cars come and go. From the classics like a Mercedes Benz Hammer to the now new and modern cars which now come in many forms, styles and even power.
If you haven&rsquo;t been in the loop, the world is now slowly transitioning to Electric Vehicles (EV) as they managed to sell over 10 million vehicles worldwide in 2022.

As for the current EV market, the one car that&rsquo;s always making headlines is American electric carmaker Tesla which was founded by Elon Musk. The car has been around for quite some time now and it&rsquo;s pretty much stapled its name as one of the top choices of electric cars in the world. The brand is also set to enter our Malaysian market soon after the demand for electric vehicles has been on the rise.
M&rsquo;sian Plays Games Using The Tesla While At A Traffic Light
Now, we know that technology is amazing but typically, we don&rsquo;t condone playing with your phone while at the wheel due to distractions. But did you know you can actually game on the screen of the Tesla?
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

Recently, Twitter user @rafiquemuzhaffa tweeted about how he had killed time at a 3-minute-long traffic light by playing a game on the Tesla Model Y&rsquo;s screen. Now the best bit, instead of using a controller or touch controls to play the game, the video showed that he was playing the virtual go-kart game by using the steering wheel as the controller!
In fact, this feature isn&rsquo;t a 3rd party feature as it&rsquo;s actually called Arcade Mode in the vehicle.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bDiwUsY5VXM" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The infotainment system allows passengers to have some fun if they are stuck waiting in their vehicle while it charges or even if they are waiting for someone. Installed are games that have been registered on the Atari Classic console such as Missile Command, Tempest, and Super Breakout. In fact, if you&rsquo;re into Triple-A title games, the car can even run games such as The Witcher 3.

If you&rsquo;re not too fond of gaming, don&rsquo;t worry as there are many other features available such as watching your favourite Netflix show on the screen. Do note though, this feature can only be used when the vehicle is stationary due to safety reasons.
Netizens Are Amused And Wonder If The Steering Wheel Can Be Damaged
Since it&rsquo;s something new to many, netizens on Twitter had asked Rafique what happens to the vehicle when he uses the steering wheel as the controller and if it could cause any long-term damage. In short, nothing will happen to the vehicle as once the Arcade Mode loads in, the car will no longer be controlling the tyres.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
The steering acts as a controller when you&rsquo;re playing the game. It will not move the actual car

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Not applicable to Tesla. It&rsquo;s not really a car per se
&mdash; Rafique (@rafiquemuzhaffa) <a href="https://twitter.com/rafiquemuzhaffa/status/1638137653131608064?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 21, 2023</a></blockquote>
In the past, many looked at playing with the wheel could cause the car to spoil in the long run. This is true for older cars as they used shafts and hydraulics to help control them. In most modern vehicles nowadays, the steering wheel, as well as the accelerator, is now connected to a drive-by-wire system which eliminates the use of cables and hydraulics.
To resume driving, all you have to do is exit the game and the car returns to its normal controls.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Exit the game and masuk gear. The car cannot move kalau dalam game

Can Autopilot Mode Be Used?
<img src="https://media3.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExYmM0MTczNmYzMDAyMzNkOGZhMWMzOGQwNDYzNGE2MmQ0NWY3Mjg2MiZjdD1n/H7rpSYHRyYgamxQNqw/giphy.gif" alt="Tesla GIF" />
One thing Tesla is famous for is its use of Autopilot as the car can drive itself. The feature can be downloaded by the brand&rsquo;s app on the phone and its update can be sent Over-The-Air (OTA) for it to be enabled in the vehicle.
However, the Autopilot feature and Autonomous driving are currently illegal in Malaysia as with our current road conditions, it will not function optimally.

Despite how cool it is to play games while at a traffic light, take this as a reminder that all drivers should always be aware of their surroundings when driving, even if you are at a traffic light when at a complete stop.
What are your thoughts on the feature? Let us know in the comments.

For many national athletes, the road to greatness is paved with not only sweat and sacrifice but also immense pressure and emotional strain. Public expectation, rigorous training, injuries, and the burden of constantly performing at an elite level can take a significant toll on one&rsquo;s mental health. While victories are celebrated and failures dissected, the human behind the jersey often suffers in silence.
Mental health is increasingly recognised as a critical aspect of sports performance and well-being, yet remains a taboo topic for many. This reality has once again come to the forefront in Malaysia following a cryptic and deeply concerning social media post by one of the country&rsquo;s most prominent sports figures &mdash; badminton ace Lee Zii Jia.
A Disturbing Cry for Help?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/26c2486579c2547f371b9ef470e0cf283eabc77226291c8178fffb712c641343" />
On 3 July 2025, Lee Zii Jia sent shockwaves through the badminton community and beyond when he uploaded a series of unsettling images to his Instagram account. The faceless, eerie illustrations appeared to convey themes of psychological anguish and emotional breakdown, including a stitched-up figure, a melting face pierced by needles, and a dark silhouette placing a gun to its head.
The 27-year-old shuttler provided no caption or explanation, but the images alone were enough to set off alarm bells. Fans noted that he had changed his profile picture to a pitch-black screen and closed his comment section entirely &mdash; signs that he might be withdrawing from public engagement.
Many interpreted the post as an unspoken cry for help or a symbolic representation of an internal struggle, possibly linked to his challenging year both on and off the court.

An Olympic Fighter: The Bronze That Didn&rsquo;t Come Easy
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ecd995dcf78d2f5127ad5f4309e9729989c12f6a2d2750e950300eff2c030bc6" />
Read: <a href="https://myc.my/articles/3690/lee-zii-jia-bags-2nd-olympic-bronze-medal-for-malaysia">Lee Zii Jia Bags 2nd Olympic Bronze Medal For Malaysia!</a>
Just a year ago, Zii Jia was at the peak of his career, proudly claiming the bronze medal for Malaysia at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. His path to the podium was anything but smooth.
After falling short in a dramatic semi-final clash, Zii Jia found himself in a high-stakes bronze medal match against India&rsquo;s Lakshya Sen. With the weight of the nation on his shoulders and his previous Olympic campaign still haunting him, the Malaysian played with a fierce blend of tactical maturity and raw determination. He dug deep, weathering long rallies and overcoming momentum shifts to eventually triumph in three tight games, securing Malaysia&rsquo;s first Olympic badminton medal since 2016.
The victory was a significant career milestone for the Kedah-born player, reaffirming his place among the sport&rsquo;s top-tier talents. But as his recent social media activity suggests, even career highs can&rsquo;t shield an athlete from inner battles.
Fans and Fellow Players Offer Words of Support
Following his post, Malaysians flooded social media with messages of concern and encouragement. Although he had limited interactions on his own account, fan pages and fellow players reached out to offer empathy and support.
&ldquo;You&rsquo;re doing great, Zii Jia. Don&rsquo;t let the noise bring you down,&rdquo; one fan wrote on X. Others emphasised the importance of rest and self-care, with messages like, &ldquo;Take your time to heal &mdash; physically and mentally. We&rsquo;ll be here when you&rsquo;re ready.&rdquo;
There was a palpable shift in tone among Malaysians, with many rallying around their national hero not as a player but as a person navigating the emotional weight of fame and expectation.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/51bd436905e2c3aebb180e4f7952ba448be7ac4f141d8081f98c1eff01abcbde" />
Injury, Setbacks and the Fight to Return
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6ac80288649a878b5475bc4b7f3149f8a54dec153a3c9244a88b11ba682963e1" />
Zii Jia&rsquo;s recent silence on court is partly due to injury. After suffering a right ankle injury at the 2023 World Tour Finals in December, he only participated in two tournaments in 2024 &mdash; the Orl&eacute;ans Masters and the All England Championship. At the latter, he was knocked out in the first round, prompting further concern about his form and readiness.
He later pulled out of the Badminton Asia Championships in April, choosing instead to focus on recovery. His world ranking dropped to No. 27, but he has since applied for a protected ranking through the Badminton World Federation (BWF) to preserve his tournament eligibility during his rehabilitation period.
Despite his physical recovery reportedly progressing, the recent Instagram post suggests the psychological toll may still linger.
Eyes on a Return &ndash; and Hope for Renewal
Lee Zii Jia is expected to make his comeback at the Japan Open from 15&ndash;20 July, followed by the China Open later in the month. These tournaments serve as his final major tests ahead of the 2025 BWF World Championships in Paris, set to take place from 25&ndash;31 August.
With the badminton calendar heating up, the pressure is once again mounting. Yet fans are now calling not just for victories, but for compassion, space, and a more holistic support system for athletes like Zii Jia.
Ending on a Note of Hope
While Lee Zii Jia&rsquo;s post has sparked concern, it also opens an important conversation about mental health in Malaysian sports. This dialogue needs to be louder, kinder, and more informed. Behind the racket is a young man who has given the nation moments of pride and glory, and who now seems to need understanding more than applause.
As Zii Jia prepares to re-enter the court, Malaysians stand united in hope: not just for wins, but for his well-being. May this period of hardship serve as a chapter of growth, healing, and strength. And when he returns, may he do so not just as a player, but as a whole, healthier person.
We&rsquo;re with you, Zii Jia. Bounce back soon.

Lee Zii Jia’s Troubling Instagram Post Sparks Widespread Concern Over Athlete Mental Health

A well-meaning attempt to help his sister secure off-campus housing turned into a costly ordeal for a local man, after he was allegedly scammed out of RM1,400 by a fake property agent. The incident, which took place in Cheras, has gone viral on X (formerly Twitter), sparking concern over growing online rental fraud in Malaysia.
Helping Family Turns into Financial Trap
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

In a X (formally known as Twitter) thread that has since been widely shared, user Fazeem recounted how he was trying to assist his sister and her friends in finding a new home, as their university dormitory contracts were expiring in early July. After searching online, he came across what seemed like the perfect unit listed on Mudah.my &ndash; a popular local marketplace &ndash; and contacted the supposed owner on 16 June.
A viewing was arranged for 18 June at Parc 3, Cheras, where Fazeem met a man who presented himself confidently as the unit&rsquo;s rightful owner. &ldquo;He gave me his IC, showed me a past tenancy agreement, and really played the part,&rdquo; Fazeem explained, adding that the man was so convincing that he didn&rsquo;t feel the need to question anything at the time.
Booking Fee Paid, Agreement Signed
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
he said he&rsquo;d pass the key by 26 or 27 June. but on 24 June, he suddenly asked me to pay another RM2,200, and said the last RM1,400 can be paid anytime in July. i told him i&rsquo;ll only pay after i get the key. he said okay. <a href="https://t.co/g6RVUmkrNY">pic.twitter.com/g6RVUmkrNY</a>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Trusting that everything was in order, Fazeem proceeded to transfer a RM1,400 booking fee to secure the unit. He received a tenancy agreement on 21 June, which he signed and returned two days later. According to their arrangement, he was due to receive the keys on 26 or 27 June.
However, things began to unravel when the man suddenly demanded an additional RM2,200, stating that the remaining RM1,400 could be paid in July. This raised red flags for Fazeem, who replied that he would only pay after receiving the keys. The man agreed &mdash; but that was the last Fazeem ever heard from him.
Sudden Disappearance
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

By 28 June, the scammer had completely disappeared. Phone calls went straight to voicemail, WhatsApp showed the number as &ldquo;not registered&rdquo;, and the individual had deleted his account. &ldquo;He vanished just like that,&rdquo; Fazeem wrote, frustrated. &ldquo;I only wanted to help my sister and her friends find a place before their lease ends on 5 July. These scammers are too slick nowadays &mdash; always verify everything before handing over money.&rdquo;
Fazeem has since lodged a police report and is now awaiting further investigation by the authorities.
Repeat Offender?

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

After sharing his experience, Fazeem was contacted by other social media users who claimed they too had been duped by the same man. One reposted tweet by user @ChristyMacr showed alleged photos of the scammer and his car, with another commenter claiming they had been scammed by him back in 2019, and the case was still unresolved.
&ldquo;He&rsquo;s using someone else&rsquo;s IC. That&rsquo;s not even his real name,&rdquo; another user claimed, suggesting a pattern of identity fraud.
Here&rsquo;s some comments from netizens on the issue:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">

Airbnb Properties Used as Props
According to other reports, the scammer allegedly rents Airbnb units for short stays and uses them as bait during property viewings. This allows him to appear credible and professional to unsuspecting victims. A few users offered tips on how to avoid similar scams, such as using Google reverse image search to check whether the property photos are taken from public listings or Airbnb.
Authorities Urge Caution
Rental scams remain a persistent problem in Malaysia, especially in urban areas like Kuala Lumpur where demand for housing is high. Victims are often students or young adults, unfamiliar with rental procedures and under pressure to secure accommodation quickly.
The police have reminded the public to remain vigilant and verify all documentation, including ownership papers, tenancy agreements, and landlord identification. Transactions should never be completed without viewing the property and confirming ownership with building management or online property databases.
Although netizens have pointed out that the scammer has been operating for some time, we hope the authorities will act swiftly and decisively to bring him to justice, especially given the growing number of victims who have fallen prey to his deceit.

Apartment Rental Scam in Cheras: Man Duped While Helping Sister Find A Home

A minor traffic accident in Taman Desa quickly escalated into a serious confrontation after one of the parties involved allegedly brandished a fake pistol, leading to the arrest of two men. The alarming incident, which unfolded late on Monday night, has reignited concerns over public safety and the growing trend of imitation weapons being purchased online.
Late-Night Collision Escalates into Threat
&nbsp;<video style="width: 706px; height: 353px;" controls="controls" width="706" height="353">
<source src="https://r2.myc.my/605f5e9cbb3eec91961b74eafbe4d17f7805a1325e9ba7d8ec572c7ea33cde8d" /></video>
According to the Brickfields District Police, the incident began around 11pm on 1 July when a black Honda City, driven by a 28-year-old man, was struck on its right-side mirror by a red Toyota Yaris near Jalan Desa. What began as a routine fender-bender turned heated as the drivers exited their vehicles and confronted one another.
The situation took a dangerous turn when the driver of the Toyota Yaris suddenly pulled out what appeared to be a black pistol and pointed it directly at the complainant. The weapon was allegedly used to threaten the victim during the argument, creating a highly distressing scene.
Fearing for his safety, the Honda driver lodged a police report at 12.55am the following morning. Police officers responded swiftly to the report and managed to apprehend two suspects, aged 19 and 27, later that day.
Weapon Found to Be Replica Purchased on TikTok
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/111dc51aa541343e6fa7c2d51a9f2235e28a80e03cde4a06cd3bca79feb0cc27" />
Initial investigations revealed that the weapon used in the confrontation was not a real firearm but a replica pistol. According to police, the fake gun had been purchased through the popular social media platform TikTok by one of the suspects.
Brickfields police chief Assistant Commissioner Ku Mashariman Ku Mahmood confirmed the detail in a statement, noting that the weapon was &ldquo;an imitation, not capable of discharging live ammunition, but still capable of causing fear and alarm among the public.&rdquo;
He further revealed that one of the suspects may have been under the influence of alcohol during the incident, although this aspect of the investigation is ongoing.
Four-Day Remand Granted
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a08fe41f8557ca1dd3f5abc80c8110cdb884dd9e81065ec0650b9c0811f191cb" />
Both men were brought before a magistrate and have been remanded for four days, until 5 July, to assist police with their enquiries. Authorities are now pursuing charges under two separate legal provisions.
The case is being investigated under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation, which carries a punishment of up to seven years' imprisonment, a fine, or both. Additionally, the suspects are also being investigated under Section 36(1) of the Arms Act 1960 for possession of an imitation firearm, which carries similar penalties upon conviction.
Viral Footage and Public Outrage
The case gained public attention after a video of the incident began circulating on social media, showing one of the suspects pointing the weapon during the verbal altercation. The footage drew strong criticism from netizens, with many expressing concern over the ease of access to imitation firearms online, especially through unregulated platforms such as TikTok.
&ldquo;This kind of behaviour is not just reckless; it&rsquo;s downright dangerous,&rdquo; said one local resident interviewed near the scene. &ldquo;You never know what&rsquo;s real and what&rsquo;s fake &mdash; and in a tense moment, it could cost someone their life.&rdquo;
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments from netizens:
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/9d8b3cff13ceda1c34999c1bd1024ea166789a43fc14239c13107d16d0243188" />
Police Urge Public Vigilance
In light of the incident, Assistant Commissioner Ku Mashariman urged the public to remain calm during road accidents and avoid letting tempers flare into violence. He also encouraged anyone who witnesses criminal acts or suspicious activity to report them to the authorities without hesitation.
&ldquo;The public must understand that road rage incidents can have serious consequences. Brandishing any form of weapon, even an imitation, is a criminal offence that we take very seriously,&rdquo; he said.
He added that the police remain committed to ensuring public safety and would not hesitate to act against individuals who engage in threatening or unlawful behaviour.
Members of the public with relevant information about this or similar incidents can contact the Kuala Lumpur Police Hotline at 03-2115 9999, the Brickfields District Police Headquarters at 03-2297 9222, or visit the nearest police station.

Road Rage Turns Hostile In Taman Desa: Two Arrested After Brandishing Fake Gun

A ferry travelling from Ketapang Port in East Java to Gilimanuk Port in Bali sank late on Wednesday night (2 July 2025), just 25 minutes into its journey across the Bali Strait, one of Indonesia&rsquo;s busiest inter-island routes. The ferry, named KMP Tunu Pratama Jaya, was carrying 65 people on board&mdash;53 passengers and 12 crew members&mdash;along with 22 vehicles, including 14 trucks.
The ferry capsized at approximately 11:20pm, and by 12:22am, it was found overturned and drifting. Initial reports point to a combination of engine trouble and rough weather conditions, with waves reaching up to two metres (6.5 feet), contributing to the tragic incident.
Death Toll Rises as Search Efforts Intensify
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2b1c4e271804a2764714682a87d4dea8c21b2759b13f23ef47b05de7b5f1da27" />
As of Thursday evening, the National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) confirmed that four people have died, 31 have been rescued, and about 30 remain missing. Many of the rescued passengers were found unconscious after drifting for hours in choppy waters overnight. Authorities have deployed nine rescue vessels, two tugboats, two inflatable boats, and a helicopter, alongside a team of underwater divers and local fishermen, to aid in the rescue operation.
According to Nanang Sigit, head of the Surabaya Search and Rescue Office, search efforts are focused along the waters between the accident site and Gilimanuk Port, where several early survivors were found. He added that the improved weather on Thursday has allowed for a more concentrated water-based search.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/564dbf68fb06b22014c75ce6922910fac5aef8c818e5c93b957061727f7564a9" />
Survivors Recall Harrowing Night
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/f812de28032a8804b0714fa31394d3d831b05a48027e1d486f459ffefdf1c890" />
Among the survivors was 64-year-old Supardi, who described the terrifying moment the ferry began to tilt. &ldquo;At first, I wanted to jump, but the water rushed in too fast. The ferry sank with me still on it. I had to climb out as it submerged, maybe about 7 metres deep,&rdquo; he said from Jembrana Regional Hospital in Bali.
He and three others used life jackets to remain afloat through the night. Others were less fortunate&mdash;some passengers were found unconscious, having clung to wreckage or floated alone until help arrived.
Families of the missing gathered at both Ketapang and Gilimanuk ports, anxiously awaiting updates. Some broke down in tears; others called out the names of loved ones still unaccounted for.
Engine Trouble and Weather Cited
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/9899499c1a3e6c1b2f17943133877c18541ee9c4d6f9af67d14f713478e21c38" />
Early indications suggest the ferry may have experienced a leak in the engine room, according to survivor accounts, while officials have pointed to poor weather as a contributing factor. The ferry&rsquo;s radio communications reportedly failed shortly after departure, with contact only re-established via another vessel from the same company, at which point the ferry was already visibly listing.
While the manifest listed 65 people, Indonesian authorities acknowledge that actual numbers often differ, a persistent issue in the country&rsquo;s maritime transport system.
Presidential Orders from Abroad
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/48a71ffb6cd254fd4a822db21515465ba9fddf1600b968df014d0af45e656a04" />
President Prabowo Subianto, who is currently on an official visit to Saudi Arabia, issued an emergency directive calling for a full-scale rescue response. The president was briefed by Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya, who confirmed that all available national resources would be mobilised to locate survivors and investigate the cause of the disaster.
Photographs from the scene published by Antara News Agency showed ambulances on standby, bodies being recovered, and locals waiting by the roadside for word of family members.
A History of Ferry Disasters in Indonesia
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/191e03d943431fa4ac8069cbd21c159a8b8e3fcce9c652aad41fc21f28bd31a6" />
Indonesia, made up of over 17,000 islands, relies heavily on ferries to transport people and goods between regions. Unfortunately, ferry accidents are common, often attributed to overcrowding, poor vessel maintenance, and lax enforcement of safety standards.
This incident is the latest in a string of maritime tragedies. In March 2025, a boat carrying 16 people capsized off the coast of Bali, claiming the life of an Australian woman. In 2022, a ferry with over 800 passengers ran aground off East Nusa Tenggara, though no casualties occurred. The deadliest in recent years was in 2018, when more than 150 people drowned after a ferry sank in Lake Toba, Sumatra.
In 2023, another ferry capsized near Sulawesi, killing at least 15 people, highlighting a persistent national issue.
Questions Over Safety and Oversight
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/140f41efaf96c409c00e07d856804d913ed550bdc9c0076b85f753f91dbea432" />
The sinking of KMP Tunu Pratama Jaya has reignited criticism over Indonesia&rsquo;s inconsistent maritime oversight. Many have questioned why a ferry in such a busy route, known for strong currents and unpredictable weather, was allowed to operate amid warnings of rough seas. Furthermore, the apparent lack of adequate life-saving equipment and inaccurate passenger manifest has drawn further scrutiny.
Authorities have pledged to investigate the incident fully and to consider stricter safety regulations, including mandatory weather assessments and enhanced crew training.
Hope Amid Heartbreak
Despite the mounting toll, rescuers remain hopeful that more survivors can be found. &ldquo;The real challenge is time and current,&rdquo; said one rescue official. &ldquo;But every hour matters, and we won&rsquo;t stop searching until every possible life is accounted for.&rdquo;
For the survivors, the tragedy leaves both physical and emotional scars. For the families of the missing, the wait continues in agony. And for Indonesia, this latest disaster underscores a hard truth: until its ferry systems undergo serious reform, its waters will remain as treacherous as they are travelled.

Ferry Disaster Near Bali: Four Dead, Dozens Missing After Java-Bali Route Sinks In Rough Seas

Kuala Lumpur-based idol group KLP48 is preparing to mark a remarkable milestone&mdash;its first anniversary&mdash;with a commemorative concert titled &ldquo;〜BLOOM〜&rdquo;. The highly anticipated event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, 16 August 2025, at Zepp Kuala Lumpur, one of the city&rsquo;s premier live performance venues.
Formed in 2024 under the globally recognised AKB48 franchise, KLP48 is not just another idol group&mdash;it is the embodiment of Southeast Asian cultural diversity brought into the global spotlight. Since their debut, the group has carved out a name for itself in both local and international idol scenes, showcasing a strong blend of discipline, charm, and multiculturalism.
From Local Roots to Global Stages
&nbsp; <img src="https://r2.myc.my/c5ae41aba58cea1eedded8060c44c0c7192d233fd854aad76820b4dbce526748" />&nbsp;
Debuting in July 2024, KLP48 is Malaysia&rsquo;s first homegrown sister group of Japan&rsquo;s iconic AKB48 franchise. Formed under 48 Entertainment in partnership with Sony Music Malaysia, KLP48 brings the beloved Japanese idol culture to Southeast Asia with a distinct local twist.
The group currently consists of 13 members from diverse cultural backgrounds: seven Malaysians, four Japanese, one Indonesian, and one from Hong Kong. Several members are former performers of AKB48 and STU48, bringing both professional polish and a deep understanding of idol dynamics to the fledgling ensemble. The group is led by Malaysian member Yi Shyan, with other notable names including Salwa, Amanda, and Haruka.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qxb0khjTLRU" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
KLP48 officially debuted with a performance at the AKB48 Group Live in KL 2024: First Cry at Zepp Kuala Lumpur and released their first digital single, &ldquo;Heavy Rotation&rdquo;, shortly after. This was followed by subsequent releases like &ldquo;Alasanku Maybe&rdquo; in April 2025 and &ldquo;Flying Get&rdquo; in May, further building their discography and fanbase.
In just one year, KLP48 has achieved milestones many new idol groups only dream of. They&rsquo;ve performed on international platforms, gained recognition in Japanese media, and steadily cultivated a loyal global fanbase. Their progress is a testament to their dedication&mdash;balancing rigorous rehearsals, vocal training, and energetic live performances across fan meetings, regional showcases, and music festivals.
Their anniversary concert in July 2025 not only celebrates their whirlwind first year but also signals a bold intent for the future. With national auditions already underway for their next generation of members, KLP48 is poised to grow even stronger as they solidify their place in the regional music scene and beyond.
What to Expect from &lsquo;〜BLOOM〜&rsquo;
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/40d248a3b364f742aa4413ff1838fa5981c3b22cc71b7d676c7baa8016163b6d" />
&ldquo;〜BLOOM〜&rdquo; promises to be more than just a concert&mdash;it&rsquo;s a showcase of growth, gratitude, and ambition. Audiences can expect high-energy performances, fan-favourite tracks, never-before-seen collaborations, and heartfelt moments from the members themselves.
The group has been preparing intensely for the show, with elaborate choreography, vocal sessions, and creative planning. The stage will feature sophisticated production design and a carefully curated setlist to reflect their journey over the past year.
Adding to the excitement, KLP48 will be joined by a stellar lineup of guest performers, including their older Indonesian sister group JKT48, widely credited for popularising idol culture in Southeast Asia. Their participation reflects the strong familial ties within the AKB48 Group network and underscores the regional nature of this celebration.
Local pop girl group CO&Euml;X, known for their empowering lyrics and catchy melodies, will also perform, alongside Malaysian R&amp;B-pop star Ismail Izzani, whose smooth vocals and dynamic stage presence bring another layer of diversity to the concert.
Ticketing and Fan Perks
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/4f35e1b2cdc819ba0258718b8986a2319e56c1ae502ee08ac655106c76f79c5f" />

While &ldquo;〜BLOOM〜&rdquo; serves as a celebration of the past year, it&rsquo;s equally a launchpad into KLP48&rsquo;s next phase. The group has expressed ambitions to expand their musical range, grow their presence in neighbouring markets, and further strengthen ties with fans through more public performances and online content.
For many of the members, this anniversary is deeply personal. They&rsquo;ve grown not only as performers but as individuals navigating the pressures and joys of idol life. Several have spoken about how much they&rsquo;ve learned, how grateful they are to fans, and how they look forward to reaching new heights together.
