Many Were Against The Duo Collaborating With Lady Gaga
Despite the buzz of having a Malaysian brand showcased on an international stage, many netizens expressed dissent over the duo's collaboration with Lady Gaga. While Instagram comments were largely positive, those on Twitter were less forgiving, offering harsh critiques.
Criticism ranged from accusations that the duo designed a dress for the "Applause" hitmaker, who has faced allegations of Zionism, to comparisons noting similarities with stage outfits seen on shows like "Gegar Vaganza," suggesting the design lacked uniqueness despite its international exposure.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:

Malaysian actor, TV host, and former Miss Grand Malaysia, Lishalliny Kanaran, has publicly come forward with disturbing allegations of sexual assault by a Hindu temple priest in Selangor. What was meant to be a quiet moment of spiritual reflection turned into a harrowing ordeal, one that the 28-year-old said has left her mentally scarred and emotionally broken.
On 21 June, Lishalliny visited a well-known temple in Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi, alone. Her mother was away in India at the time, and she had recently begun turning towards religion, exploring her spirituality more deeply. Though she had never been particularly devout before, she described feeling a sense of peace at the temple &mdash; a place she visited regularly and where a priest had been guiding her through rituals. That trust, she now claims, was exploited.

In an emotional post on Instagram, Lishalliny recounted the events of that day, saying that while she was engaged in her prayers, the priest approached her and offered to bless her with holy water and a protective string &mdash; a common Hindu ritual. After completing her prayers, she said the priest asked her to meet him in an office within the temple grounds. She waited for roughly half an hour as he completed blessings for other devotees.
But once inside the office, things quickly took a dark turn.
A Ritual Turned Invasive
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e5fd9e6729d103129d1a6f2f35b629012dc236078180d9df7627a0d30c72a132" />
According to Lishalliny&rsquo;s statement, the priest poured a strong-smelling liquid &mdash; described as rose or flower essence &mdash; into a container of holy water, claiming it was a sacred substance from India that was not typically used on &ldquo;ordinary people.&rdquo; He began splashing the water aggressively onto her face, to the point that her eyes stung and she was momentarily blinded.
He then allegedly asked her to lift her Punjabi suit, which she declined, citing that the blouse underneath was tight. Despite her refusal, the priest continued the ritual while standing behind her. Lishalliny alleged that it was then that he put his hands inside her blouse and under her bra, touching her inappropriately. She described being frozen in fear, unable to move or speak &mdash; a reaction many victims of sexual trauma experience.
&ldquo;He murmured prayers and held my head. And then, without warning, he put his hands into my blouse,&rdquo; she wrote. &ldquo;My brain knew everything about that moment was wrong, and yet I couldn&rsquo;t move. I couldn&rsquo;t speak. I froze.&rdquo;
According to her, the priest went even further, telling her: &ldquo;It would be a blessing if you did &lsquo;it&rsquo; with me, because I serve God.&rdquo; After the incident, she said he casually told her: &ldquo;This will be a lucky week for you. I&rsquo;ve done this for you.&rdquo;
The shock and betrayal were overwhelming. What was meant to be a safe, sacred environment had been corrupted &mdash; and the damage left behind was deeply personal.
Silence, Shame, and the Strength to Speak Up
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/73e0bd59641fdb3f6cd2e4d4a0caedeb49840627fb82ee1564137bd9907f4686" />
For nearly two weeks, Lishalliny kept the incident to herself. She described crying herself to sleep, plagued by shame and fear, unable to make sense of what had happened.
&ldquo;I couldn&rsquo;t sleep because every time I closed my eyes, it replays in my head. I didn&rsquo;t know who to tell. I was ashamed,&rdquo; she confessed in her post. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve always seen myself as strong and brave &mdash; and yet I was broken.&rdquo;
When her mother returned to Malaysia on 4 July, Lishalliny finally opened up about the assault. Her family responded immediately. Accompanied by her mother and two brothers, she went back to the temple to confront the priest &mdash; but was informed by temple management that he was no longer there.
According to Lishalliny, temple authorities appeared more concerned with their reputation than her allegations. &ldquo;Apparently, someone had already reported him before &mdash; and no action was taken,&rdquo; she said. The chairman allegedly downplayed any relationship with the priest, claiming he had &ldquo;only met him once&rdquo; and did not know his whereabouts.
Undeterred, Lishalliny and her family lodged a police report on the same day.
A Widening Investigation
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d81ab470385f8de4be0978dfbc0b937520ee08f0943595c08e2bed84270cf02b" />
The case is now under investigation by the Sepang district police, with Assistant Commissioner Norhizam Bahaman confirming that the incident occurred at a Hindu temple in Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi.
The priest in question, an Indian national, was reportedly only a temporary replacement, brought in while the temple&rsquo;s resident priest was overseas. Authorities say his modus operandi involved sprinkling holy water on the victim as part of a ritual, before allegedly molesting her.
The case is being investigated under Section 354 of the Penal Code for assault or use of criminal force with intent to outrage modesty &mdash; a charge that carries a maximum penalty of ten years' imprisonment, a fine, whipping, or any combination of these punishments upon conviction.
Police have since launched a manhunt for the suspect, who is believed to have fled the premises. They are urging anyone with information to contact the Sepang Police Headquarters or the lead investigating officer, Inspector Sathiyan Balrajoo.
Adding to the seriousness of the case, another woman came forward in the comments section of Lishalliny&rsquo;s Instagram post, alleging that she too had experienced a similar incident at the same temple on 30 June &mdash; just nine days after Lishalliny&rsquo;s ordeal. The case now raises questions about whether other victims may have been similarly harmed, and whether the temple failed in its duty of care.
Rallying Support and A Call for Change
Since going public, Lishalliny has received an outpouring of support from fellow Malaysians and international figures. Among them is Chinmayi Sripaada, an Indian playback singer and vocal advocate of the #MeToo movement, who commented on the post, urging Lishalliny to report the incident and reminded her: &ldquo;It is not and never your fault. It is not your shame.&rdquo;
Here&rsquo;s some comments from netizens online:
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/87aa36d5468f1897e1fe292d579365af623a2625194b8d1ff4e9fab2ba318c69" />
Despite being pressured to stay silent, Lishalliny has refused to back down. She made it clear that she is not seeking sympathy, but hoping to give courage to others who may have suffered in silence.
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not writing this to victimise myself. I&rsquo;m writing this to voice out so that anyone else who has gone through something like this knows: you are not to blame. You did nothing wrong. And if you ever need someone, I&rsquo;m here. You are not alone.&rdquo;
Her bravery has ignited wider public discussion on sexual misconduct in religious settings, accountability of temple leadership, and the importance of safe spaces for women seeking solace, regardless of faith.

Malaysian Actress & Pageant Winner Alleges Assault By Temple Priest In Selangor

Kuala Lumpur is set to welcome back one of South Korea&rsquo;s most beloved K-pop boy groups, WINNER, as part of their much-anticipated &ldquo;OUR MOMENT&rdquo; 2025 Asia Tour. Marking their first full concert in Malaysia since 2020, the group&rsquo;s return is a momentous occasion for local fans who have long awaited another opportunity to see their idols live on stage.
The official announcement was made on Tuesday, 8 July, by CQ Entertainment, who confirmed that Malaysia will be one of the tour&rsquo;s stops. WINNER is slated to perform in Kuala Lumpur on 1 November 2025 (Saturday). While the venue and ticketing details are still pending, the excitement has already begun to ripple across social media.
A Long-Awaited Comeback on Malaysian Soil
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/82f5e63e2e0149a75d93e0d81bab4767f5454c49b551f1985fb74543dbc14d4a" />
Formed under YG Entertainment, WINNER&mdash;comprising Kim Jin-woo, Lee Seung-hoon, Song Mino, and Kang Seung-yoon&mdash;first made waves in 2014 after emerging victorious on the survival show WIN: Who Is Next. Their debut album, 2014 S/S, was a critical and commercial success, with its lead single &ldquo;Empty&rdquo; topping charts and cementing the group as K-pop&rsquo;s emotional storytellers. Known for their melancholic melodies and introspective lyrics, WINNER carved out a distinct identity in an era dominated by high-energy pop.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gEqlF5N8UMs" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
They followed up with a string of hits including &ldquo;Really Really,&rdquo; &ldquo;Everyday,&rdquo; &ldquo;Millions,&rdquo; &ldquo;Island,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Ah Yeah.&rdquo; Notably, Really Really became the first K-pop boy group song to surpass 100 million streams on Melon, showcasing their mainstream appeal and musical versatility.
Over the years, WINNER has collected numerous accolades, including Rookie of the Year at the Golden Disc Awards, Melon Music Awards, and Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA). In addition to group achievements, members like Song Mino have also built successful solo careers in music, fashion, and entertainment.
Despite a quieter period during the pandemic, WINNER has maintained a strong global presence and loyal fanbase, known as Inner Circle. The group last visited Malaysia in 2020, and now their return marks a new chapter in their career.
In May 2025, YG Entertainment announced that WINNER would hold a three-day special concert at Olympic Hall in Seoul this July, stirring excitement about a broader world tour. The group&rsquo;s upcoming tour will officially begin in Macau on 23 August, with additional stops in Bangkok, Taipei, Jakarta, Hong Kong, and Kuala Lumpur, fueling speculation about a long-awaited comeback album&mdash;possibly their first since Remember in 2020.

WINNER&rsquo;s return stands out not only for its significance to long-time fans but also as a testament to the ongoing global appeal of Korean pop music.
Whether you&rsquo;re a dedicated Inner Circle &mdash; the group&rsquo;s official fan club &mdash; or a casual listener, 1 November promises to be a night of nostalgia, joy, and unforgettable performances as WINNER takes the Kuala Lumpur stage once more.

K-pop Sensation WINNER To Make Triumphant Return To Kuala Lumpur This November!

A 17-year-old British schoolboy has been missing for over a month after secretly boarding a flight to Malaysia without telling anyone, leaving his family devastated and desperate for answers. David Balisong, a top-performing A-Level student from Cheadle, Greater Manchester, was last seen on the morning of 6 June, when he left his family home under the pretence of going to school.
Instead, David quietly made his way to Manchester Airport, boarded a one-way flight to Kuala Lumpur, and has not been seen or heard from since. The teenager&rsquo;s sudden disappearance has shocked those who knew him &mdash; a quiet, high-achieving young man with no history of running away or behavioural issues.
His mother, Minerva Balisong, a 50-year-old critical care nurse, has made a heartfelt public appeal for David to get in touch, even just to confirm that he is alive. &ldquo;The emotion feels like a tsunami. We never saw this coming,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;We just want him to make contact. We&rsquo;re not angry &mdash; we love him more than he knows
No Warning Signs Before Departure
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/de878ec9815aa46001ff7f72ed685d15f8159529984e9964b37efc4f9d4a1220" />
David was midway through his A-Level exams at the time of his disappearance and had ambitions to study Computer Science at Manchester University, with dreams of one day working for NASA. According to his family, there were no warning signs leading up to his sudden departure.
&ldquo;He was healthy and happy. There was nothing wrong that we were aware of,&rdquo; said his mother. &ldquo;He is an ideal student and an ideal son. He&rsquo;s a homebody who always comes home. When he goes out, he asks for permission and keeps us updated.&rdquo;
On the day he vanished, David left home slightly earlier than usual &mdash; around 6.30am &mdash; and told his younger brother that he had &ldquo;some things to do at school.&rdquo; Unbeknownst to his family, he had packed his passport and headed straight to the airport to catch a 9.30am international flight.
Later that evening, when David failed to return home, his worried parents began making calls to the school and eventually discovered that his passport was missing. The next day, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) confirmed that David had travelled alone and had entered Malaysia on a 90-day tourist visa.
At the time of his departure, David had only &pound;1,200 in his bank account, and the family says he has since switched off his phone and stopped replying to emails. Born in the UK to Filipino parents, David has no known connections or relatives in Malaysia, making his choice of destination even more perplexing.
Family Left Reeling and Now Preparing to Search in Malaysia
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2c088a76a6cf61c23a7c2fb75bca718142d716904d8d37e55e51c58bee44bd2b" />
The family, including David&rsquo;s father Lorenzo, 55, sister Faith, 16, and brother Daniel, 13, have been left in deep distress. They&rsquo;ve launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for travel, accommodation, and local support in Malaysia, where they hope to begin searching for David themselves.
&ldquo;We are doing everything we can to hold on and stay strong,&rdquo; said Minerva. &ldquo;We can&rsquo;t wait to hear from him or see him. If he doesn&rsquo;t want to return, that&rsquo;s his choice &mdash; but we just want to know that he&rsquo;s safe. That&rsquo;s all we need.&rdquo;
David&rsquo;s aunt, Tess Fulgencio, also took to Facebook to express her anguish: &ldquo;These have been the longest and hardest days our family has ever known &mdash; filled with waiting, searching, and holding on to hope. To the Stockport Police and GMP: thank you for your tireless efforts and commitment to bringing David home. Please know that your work means everything to us, even when words fall short.&rdquo;
The police continue to investigate the case and are urging anyone who may have information about David&rsquo;s whereabouts &mdash; either in the UK or Malaysia &mdash; to come forward. Witnesses or individuals with leads are encouraged to contact 101, quoting log number 3703 of 06/06/2025.
No Leads Yet, as Questions Mount Over Why He Left
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d04f7693d19af78c3059e1670a339a619e2b6ab9c34b40edc280a06dcac2e083" />
While authorities have confirmed his entry into Malaysia, no further sightings or credible leads have emerged in the weeks since. The case has puzzled both investigators and the wider public, with no clear motive or reasoning yet identified. Some have speculated that David may have been influenced by something or someone online, but nothing has been confirmed.
His family insists there were no signs of depression, abuse, or serious stress &mdash; beyond the usual pressure of exams &mdash; and have ruled out any known online grooming or radicalisation. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s a very logical, measured boy. This is so unlike him,&rdquo; said Minerva. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve considered every possibility, but nothing makes sense. That&rsquo;s why this is so frightening.&rdquo;
The family&rsquo;s only hope now is that David will see the growing media coverage or the online fundraising campaign and reach out. &ldquo;We want him to know that he&rsquo;s loved, missed, and never alone,&rdquo; Minerva added.
As the 90-day visa period ticks down, and with no word from David, the family&rsquo;s concern is only growing. They are expected to arrive in Kuala Lumpur soon to begin a local search, speak to authorities, and retrace any steps their son may have taken.
A Painful Wait with No Answers
The Balisong family&rsquo;s story has touched many, drawing attention not just to their personal tragedy but also to broader questions about youth mental health, international travel security, and the pressures faced by high-achieving students. Still, for the family, it all comes down to one thing &mdash; David&rsquo;s safety.
&ldquo;No matter where you are, David &mdash; just let us know you&rsquo;re okay,&rdquo; Minerva pleaded. &ldquo;We don&rsquo;t need anything else. Just a message, anything. Please.&rdquo;
Anyone who may have seen David in Malaysia or has any information is urged to contact local authorities or Greater Manchester Police as soon as possible.

British Teen Disappears After Secret Solo Flight To Malaysia

Malaysian K-pop fans have more to look forward to this year as rising boy group 82MAJOR (에이티투메이저) is officially set to return to Kuala Lumpur for their first full concert. After creating a buzz earlier this year with their fan meeting and press conference, the group is now scheduled to perform live on a much bigger scale &mdash; and the excitement is palpable among fans.
Back in February 2025, 82MAJOR visited Malaysia for the first time, holding a warm and intimate fan event at SEGi University in Kota Damansara. The event gave Malaysian fans their first close-up interaction with the members, who left a lasting impression with their stage presence, energy, and charm. The visit also included a press conference at Pavilion KL, which further boosted their local profile.
Who Are 82MAJOR?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/39703932d40cb647afdee1962a86445288e2efe2ae95ed1d098c58efafe88976" />
Emerging as one of the most promising new acts in K-pop, 82MAJOR is a six-member boy group under Great M Entertainment, officially debuting in October 2023. The group consists of charismatic members: Jungseok, Chanhyeok, Seokjun, Donghyeon, Yunho, and Yechan&mdash;each bringing distinct vocal tones, dance styles, and personalities to the group&rsquo;s growing appeal.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yhe0QukH4QE" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Their debut single &ldquo;FIRST CLASS&rdquo; made an immediate impact with its bold concept and gritty hip-hop energy, setting them apart from more conventional rookie debuts. The track showcased their confidence, swagger, and tight choreography, earning them attention from both local fans and international audiences.
What&rsquo;s notable about 82MAJOR is their raw edge and performance-driven style, which taps into a global Gen Z audience hungry for authenticity and bold self-expression. The group has since released follow-up tracks like &ldquo;Sure Thing&rdquo; and &ldquo;Get it Hot&rdquo;, reinforcing their sound identity and stage charisma.
While still early in their career, 82MAJOR has been featured in several "Rookie to Watch" lists by Korean media outlets and are beginning to gain traction across social media and global K-pop platforms. Their potential for growth, combined with a fresh sound and striking visuals, positions them as a group to watch in the next wave of K-pop talent.
Following Their North American Success
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ebad64acaf013d14724353149de654d699243e39952a478611617f1a92bd63ba" />
82MAJOR has had a packed schedule in 2025, particularly with their &ldquo;82 SYNDROME&rdquo; North American tour, which began in May and covered 25 cities across the United States and Canada. The tour has played a major role in expanding their international reach, drawing in new fans with their powerful performances, captivating choreography, and on-stage charisma.
Their final North American performance will be held in Los Angeles on 19 July, marking the end of a two-month tour across major cities. After a brief break to recharge, the group is expected to begin preparations for their Asia tour, with Malaysia already locked in as one of the confirmed destinations.
Although a full list of Asia tour stops has not been officially released, Malaysian fans can rest assured knowing Kuala Lumpur is already on the schedule.
Concert Information &ndash; What We Know So Far
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0cc39f5315ac7d890ed33cdc536ea62cf96f51005f6d681a3be440832c4d1762" />

<li>Venue: Idea Live Arena, Kuala Lumpur</li>
<li>Organiser: iMe Malaysia</li>

Ticket pricing and seat map information will be released in the coming weeks, and fans are advised to stay tuned to official channels for timely updates.
Fan Anticipation at an All-Time High
This marks the group&rsquo;s first full concert in Malaysia, and it will be an entirely different experience compared to their earlier fan meeting. Instead of short segments and casual Q&amp;A sessions, fans can expect a high-energy, fully choreographed show, complete with a dynamic setlist, fan-favourite songs, and heartfelt moments with the crowd.
For many MAJORs, this is the long-awaited opportunity to see the boys in their element &mdash; delivering a concert that reflects their musical growth, stage confidence, and group chemistry.
Social media has already begun buzzing with fan reactions, and hashtags related to the concert are steadily gaining traction among Malaysian K-pop communities.
New Music Hints and Rising Popularity
As the countdown to their Kuala Lumpur concert begins, fans are eagerly speculating about a possible comeback from 82MAJOR in the lead-up to October. With their North American tour wrapping up and their fanbase expanding rapidly across Asia, many anticipate the release of new material, potentially an EP or a special single designed for the Asian leg of their tour.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bY2JgNSFEG0" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
In the meantime, fans can enjoy the group&rsquo;s latest release, &ldquo;TAKEOVER&rdquo;, a high-energy track that highlights 82MAJOR&rsquo;s refined production style, strong choreography, and distinctive vocal sound. The song has steadily gained traction online, with streaming numbers and YouTube views continuing to climb, boosted by the group&rsquo;s recent international exposure.
Should new music be released before October, Malaysian fans may be among the first to experience it live, adding an extra layer of excitement to what is already shaping up to be a major milestone for both the group and their local supporters. Whether or not a new comeback arrives in time, one thing is certain: 82MAJOR&rsquo;s Kuala Lumpur concert promises to be a must-see event.
Stay Tuned for More Updates
As anticipation builds, fans can expect more updates in the coming weeks &mdash; including ticketing tiers, fan benefits, and possible meet-and-greet packages. With 82MAJOR continuing to gain momentum globally, this concert is shaping up to be one of the most memorable K-pop events in Malaysia this year.
Mark your calendars for 4 October 2025, and get ready to chant, dance, and sing your heart out with 82MAJOR in Kuala Lumpur.
Are you excited? Because we definitely know we are!

82MAJOR Are Returning To KL For Their First Full Concert In October!

The United States will impose a sweeping 25% tariff on all Malaysian products entering the country from 1 August 2025. The move, announced by former US President Donald J. Trump in an official letter dated 7 July to both Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, signals a significant escalation in US-Malaysia trade relations.
Trump cited longstanding grievances over Malaysia&rsquo;s trade practices, specifically &ldquo;tariff, non-tariff policies and trade barriers&rdquo; that he claims have created an &ldquo;unsustainable&rdquo; trade deficit. The letter, also posted on his Truth Social platform, reflects the former president&rsquo;s familiar stance on rebalancing trade ties with US partners.
&ldquo;Relationship Has Been Far From Reciprocal&rdquo;
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2958ae1ab385de2c25ee5e30e0936366f1c080ab474a39507054532bc9a99b8c" />
In the letter, Trump acknowledged the longstanding economic partnership between the two countries but insisted it had been one-sided.
&ldquo;We have had years to discuss our trading relationship with Malaysia,&rdquo; he wrote, &ldquo;and have concluded that we must move away from these long term, and very persistent trade deficits engendered by Malaysia&rsquo;s tariff and non-tariff policies.&rdquo;
The blanket 25% tariff will be imposed across all sectors, separate from any existing sectoral tariffs. These include additional levies&mdash;25% on automotive exports and up to 50% on steel and aluminium products&mdash;affecting manufacturing-heavy countries in the region.
No Tariff for US-Based Manufacturing
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/fa1043982fa099d07eebbdb7887243953f2e8292773e3749af89270009023381" />
To soften the blow, Trump offered Malaysian companies an alternative: relocate manufacturing operations to the United States. He pledged that products made within US borders would be exempt from the new tariff.
&ldquo;There will be no tariff if Malaysia, or companies within your country, decide to build or manufacture products within the United States,&rdquo; he said, adding that his administration would facilitate swift approvals &ldquo;in a matter of weeks.&rdquo;
Warning Against Retaliation and Transshipping
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/aa36b7c613ec04b72bbd241ed96a996d6315fabf8cd11a06913886e3a694d020" />
Trump further warned that any attempt by Malaysia to retaliate with higher tariffs on US imports would be met with an equivalent increase on top of the existing 25% rate.
&ldquo;If, for any reason, you decide to raise your tariffs, then whatever number you choose will be added onto the 25% we charge,&rdquo; he declared.
Additionally, goods transshipped from or through Malaysia to avoid higher tariffs will also be taxed at the highest applicable rate. This measure is in line with Washington&rsquo;s broader clampdown on transshipments&mdash;especially from China&mdash;via third countries in Southeast Asia.
The tariff rate, initially announced as 24% in April under Trump&rsquo;s &ldquo;Liberation Day Tariffs&rdquo; package targeting 49 countries, was temporarily paused for 90 days to allow for negotiations. Malaysia held formal trade talks in Washington from 18&ndash;20 June and had expressed hope for concessions, particularly for its electronics and export manufacturing sectors.
However, with talks yielding little progress, Trump extended the pause by three weeks before increasing the tariff rate by one point to 25%.
Part of Wider Regional Clampdown
Malaysia is not alone in facing higher US import duties. Japan and South Korea were also notified of a 25% tariff, while Indonesia faces a 32% rate, Thailand 36%, and Laos and Myanmar 40%&mdash;down from Trump&rsquo;s earlier April figures. Cambodia, meanwhile, saw its proposed tariff reduced from 49% to 36%.
Notably, Malaysia&rsquo;s inclusion alongside close US allies Japan and South Korea was seen by some as a sign of parity, albeit a painful one.
&ldquo;We are in the same club,&rdquo; one senior Malaysian trade official remarked anonymously, &ldquo;but we expected some reduction&mdash;not a hike.&rdquo;
Market Concerns and Economic Impact
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/3fb94d6cf87b7b7cbd57ec7539443172e968ec3f152da94b937bfc160d9694f7" />
The new tariff comes as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio prepares for his first official visit to Malaysia during the ASEAN Foreign Ministers&rsquo; Meeting. His arrival is expected to bring further diplomatic dialogue, although the tone has already been set by Trump&rsquo;s announcement.
Experts have warned of broader economic implications. &ldquo;A 25% tariff will have a major impact on exports including in-demand items like autos and semiconductors,&rdquo; said William Alan Reinsch of the Centre for Strategic and International Studies. &ldquo;It means higher prices in the US and slower economies in affected countries.&rdquo;
Trump&rsquo;s Unpredictable Trade Playbook
Trump&rsquo;s move follows a familiar pattern&mdash;announce a tariff, offer a deadline, and extend it if needed. With the 1 August deadline looming, many wonder whether another delay is in store&mdash;or if this time, the tariffs will truly take effect.
Wendy Cutler, former US trade negotiator, said the timing may still allow room for breakthroughs. &ldquo;While the news is disappointing, it doesn&rsquo;t mean the game is over,&rdquo; she noted, pointing out that last-minute deals, like the one recently struck with Vietnam, could still emerge.
Malaysia&rsquo;s Next Move
As of now, Putrajaya has yet to issue an official response to the new 25% tariff. However, trade officials say negotiations will continue. Malaysia remains hopeful that diplomacy can still bring relief to its crucial export sectors and mitigate the blow to its economy.
Until then, businesses and exporters brace for impact&mdash;while watching closely whether Trump&rsquo;s tariff ultimatum holds firm or shifts once more.

Trump Imposes 25% Tariff On Malaysian Goods Amid Escalating Trade Tensions

A group of over 30 cyclists has triggered widespread backlash after sharing a video online depicting a confrontation with a RapidKL bus driver along Jalan Bestari, Kuala Selangor. The incident, which took place on the morning of Sunday, 6 July, was initially intended to expose what the cyclists described as dangerous and aggressive driving. Instead, it drew unexpected public sympathy for the bus driver and ignited a broader debate about road etiquette in Malaysia.
Cyclists Accuse Driver of Reckless Behaviour
&nbsp;<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmohdamirulaizad3899%2Fvideos%2F1855646568341630%2F&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=265&amp;t=0" width="265" height="591" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
In the viral video, the cyclists alleged they were riding safely on the left-most lane of the road when the bus driver approached at high speed and allegedly swerved dangerously close to their formation. According to one of the cyclists who posted on TikTok under the username @spaceramenn, &ldquo;He almost hit our cyclists while the right lane was empty. He could&rsquo;ve just moved to the right lane for a few seconds.&rdquo;
The group claimed the incident wasn&rsquo;t isolated. They accused the driver of having behaved similarly earlier that morning, suggesting a pattern of intimidation. Matters escalated when the bus came to a halt, and the driver exited the vehicle to confront the cyclists directly. According to their post, the driver attempted to physically assault one of them, kicking at a cyclist during the roadside argument.
Public Shaming Backfires: Personal Info Shared Online
In what appeared to be an attempt to seek public support and prompt disciplinary action, the cyclists shared the driver&rsquo;s full name, bus registration plate, and employee ID on social media platforms. However, their efforts backfired. Rather than drawing outrage towards the driver, the post unleashed a wave of criticism against the cyclists themselves.
Many Malaysians took issue with the decision to publicly doxx the driver, pointing out that he appeared calm and collected in the video, even when surrounded by a large, agitated group. The release of personal information without due process also raised concerns about online harassment and trial by social media.
JPJ Intervenes and Defuses the Situation
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/24da9296121450e449c634ebca9d6be4595ec96d7b7f1569e2b36f437c2f40dd" />
As luck&mdash;or misfortune&mdash;would have it, the confrontation took place not far from a Road Transport Department (JPJ) office. Officers who happened to be nearby responded promptly and de-escalated the situation. They separated both parties and provided guidance, reminding the cyclists to remain on the far-left side of the road for their own safety.
According to the cyclists, they insisted they had already been doing so. However, video footage and witness commentary suggested that several riders were cycling side-by-side, taking up more space than advisable and potentially obstructing traffic.
Netizens Side with the Bus Driver
Public sentiment online quickly leaned in favour of the bus driver. Social media users commented in droves, with many expressing frustration about the behaviour of large cycling groups on Malaysian roads. &ldquo;Hundreds of comments flooded the post&mdash;and nearly all of them defended the bus driver,&rdquo; one observer noted.
A particularly popular comment summed up the sentiment: &ldquo;We criticise kids on &lsquo;basikal lajak&rsquo; for being reckless on roads, but now adults are setting the same poor example.&rdquo; Others pointed out the professionalism displayed by the driver, who didn&rsquo;t retaliate aggressively despite being provoked.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a92c48025ec39b283721dedccd2afff395da1407f9440957eebc7ed8b68cc8a0" />
Wider Debate on Cycling Etiquette Resurfaces
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e551aff892d85e2e1fd0650c8e8c107a0471841072faf3bf1d4592521edf05b6" />
The incident has reignited discussions about road-sharing norms, particularly when it comes to cyclists using public roads. Although cyclists are legally allowed to use the roads, their presence&mdash;especially in large numbers&mdash;often leads to tension with motorists.
Some users argued that cycling in large groups during peak hours or on busy roads can be dangerous not only for the cyclists themselves but for others as well. The lack of dedicated cycling infrastructure in many parts of Malaysia has only added to the problem, forcing cyclists and vehicles to compete for limited space.
Calls for Road Safety Reform and Public Awareness
In the wake of the backlash, many have called for the government and relevant authorities to take a more proactive stance. Suggestions include introducing clearer cycling regulations, investing in dedicated bicycle lanes, and launching public campaigns on shared road responsibilities.
&ldquo;Cyclists want respect, but that comes with responsibility,&rdquo; one commenter wrote. &ldquo;If you&rsquo;re holding up traffic and causing a hazard, you should expect some level of pushback.&rdquo;
Others proposed that both motorists and cyclists receive regular awareness training to foster better mutual understanding and reduce road rage incidents.
Lessons from the Digital Age: When Going Viral Backfires
This episode offers a cautionary tale about the double-edged nature of social media. What the cyclists may have intended as a public appeal for justice turned into an unexpected referendum on their own behaviour. The very footage they hoped would support their claims ended up undermining them.
In the age of instant virality, public opinion can be swift and unforgiving. It serves as a reminder that accountability and context matter&mdash;both in how we act on the road and how we represent ourselves online.
