JOONGISDAY_FESTIVAL

It seems like this year is a major breakthrough for Asian celebrities, particularly those from South Korea, due to their significant impact on the entertainment industry. In case you missed it, Lee Joon Gi has been quite busy gearing up for his Asia tour. Just last month, he announced plans to visit Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia.
Who is Lee Joon-gi?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/4cd845aa54eb83191188d6589d40cf963ee0946b7286e89e193b01861bcfe31b" />
Lee Joon-gi is a highly acclaimed South Korean actor, singer, and model. He first gained widespread recognition for his role in the 2005 film "The King and the Clown," which became one of the highest-grossing Korean films of all time. His portrayal of the effeminate clown Gong-gil won him critical acclaim and established him as a leading actor in the Korean entertainment industry.
Lee Joon-gi's versatility as an actor is evident in his diverse range of roles in both television and film. He has starred in popular TV dramas such as "Iljimae" (2008), "Arang and the Magistrate" (2012), "Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo" (2016), and "Flower of Evil" (2020). His performances have consistently garnered high ratings and praise from both audiences and critics, showcasing his ability to tackle various genres from historical dramas to modern thrillers.
In addition to his acting career, Lee Joon Gi is also a talented singer and has released several albums and singles. He is known for his dedication to his craft, often performing his own stunts and immersing himself deeply into his characters. Lee Joon Gi's charm, talent, and dedication have made him a beloved figure not only in South Korea but also among international fans.

As some fans have attended his shows, there are a few teasers as fans shared that we can expect Joon-gi to sing the nostalgic OST from &ldquo;Ara Moon Sword&rdquo;, &ldquo;Chosen One&rdquo;, &ldquo;Moon Lovers &ndash; Treasure Ryeo&rdquo;, &ldquo;For You&rdquo;, &ldquo;Flower of Evil&rdquo; and more. The great thing about Joon-gi is that he has always loved dancing and singing for his fans hence why naturally during his fan meets, he would sing the music to his OSTs from his films. With his upcoming &ldquo;Festival&rdquo; tour, there&rsquo;s a chance we&rsquo;ll get to see something new on stage.

Nearly 200,000 owners of diesel-powered pick-up trucks and jeep-type vehicles across Malaysia will receive a larger monthly allocation of subsidised fuel under the BUDI MADANI Diesel (BUDI Diesel) programme, following the Ministry of Finance's latest announcement.
Beginning this month, eligible recipients will see their monthly subsidised diesel quota increase from 200 litres to 300 litres, providing an additional 100 litres to better support motorists who rely heavily on their vehicles for work, business and travel.
The move comes just days after the nationwide rollout of the BUDI Diesel programme, which was introduced in Peninsular Malaysia on 27 June before expanding to Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan on 1 July.
Government Increases Monthly Quota To 300 Litres
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/823cb9ae7e2a2815c66260b1b19f1ea5964e4f82e2f3dadd7e94a1ee197d2a87" />
According to the Ministry of Finance (MOF), the increased allocation has been approved for almost 200,000 vehicle owners nationwide.
The expanded quota benefits more than 174,000 recipients in Peninsular Malaysia, alongside over 22,000 recipients in Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan, as of 4 July.
Eligible owners can continue purchasing subsidised diesel at RM2.10 per litre, with the higher quota taking effect immediately from July.
The ministry explained that the additional allocation takes into account the significantly higher fuel consumption of diesel pick-up trucks and jeep-type vehicles, many of which are used for commercial purposes or frequent travel to rural and remote areas.
Designed To Support Those Who Depend On Their Vehicles
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/1c558c616e30438b034455943e85dc173a1332537ee71e256b07ba72ac745b19" />
Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan said the government recognises that these vehicles are more than just personal transport.
For many Malaysians, especially small business owners, farmers, contractors and those living outside urban areas, pick-up trucks and diesel utility vehicles are essential tools for earning a living and managing everyday family responsibilities.
He said the additional 100 litres is intended to help eligible recipients better manage their monthly fuel expenses while ensuring government assistance reaches those who genuinely require it.
Public Response Has Been Encouraging
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a356febee968302f269c70958a0240b0d0a0221fd667f0d70d2aeb1604fa7539" />
The BUDI Diesel programme has recorded strong public participation since its implementation.
According to Amir Hamzah, more than 238,000 users have already benefited from the initiative.
Between the programme's early access period on 27 June and 4 July, more than 336,000 subsidised diesel transactions were successfully recorded.
During that period, motorists purchased approximately 12.6 million litres of subsidised diesel, with the government providing more than RM23 million in fuel subsidies.
The recorded transactions include purchases made during the early access phase when diesel was priced at RM2.15 per litre, before the official subsidised price was reduced to RM2.10 per litre following the programme's full implementation on 1 July.
Eligibility Transfer Now Available For Family Members
Following public feedback, the government has also introduced a new eligibility transfer mechanism under BUDI Diesel.
The new feature is designed to help families where the registered vehicle owner is not the person who regularly drives the vehicle, or where ownership records have yet to be updated.
Under the new system, registered BUDI Diesel recipients can apply through the official BUDI MADANI portal to transfer subsidy eligibility to an immediate family member, subject to verification and programme conditions.
Alternatively, motorists may choose to officially update their vehicle ownership records with the Road Transport Department (JPJ). To encourage ownership updates, the government has also waived diesel vehicle ownership transfer fees for three months starting from 1 July 2026.
So far, more than 2,000 transfer applications have already been submitted through the portal.
More Eligible Owners Can Still Apply
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/09f7e86b3dc52fc19efe065390d5f1dcbe6b5bec460ede1b75982c0ebec917b5" />
Owners of eligible diesel-powered pick-up trucks and jeep-type vehicles who have not yet received the additional 100-litre allocation can still submit an application through the <a href="https://www.budimadani.gov.my/">BUDI MADANI portal</a>.
The same online portal is also used for eligibility transfer requests and ownership-related updates.
The government has encouraged eligible motorists to apply if they have yet to join the programme.
Programme Will Continue To Be Refined Using Real Data
Although the programme is still in its early stages, the government says it will continue monitoring its implementation closely.
Amir Hamzah explained that BUDI Diesel will adopt a data-driven approach, with future improvements based on actual fuel usage patterns, public feedback and industry input rather than assumptions.
He pointed to previous adjustments made under other targeted subsidy initiatives, where fuel quotas were revised after analysing consumption data to better reflect real-world usage.
The minister added that it is still too early to determine the total savings generated by the targeted diesel subsidy programme, as transaction data is still being collected and verified.
However, initial feedback from petrol station operators suggests diesel sales volumes have already declined slightly, indicating fewer purchases by motorists who are not eligible for subsidised fuel.
The government believes this will help reduce subsidy leakages and ensure public funds are directed towards Malaysians who genuinely qualify, while allowing future savings to be channelled into additional assistance programmes.

Popular entrepreneur and content creator Khairul Aming has apologised to customers after a technical issue disrupted lunch service at his restaurant, Rembayung, leading to long waiting times and delayed entry for many diners.
The incident, which took place during the restaurant's busy lunch period, quickly gained attention on social media after customers shared videos and posts showing crowded waiting areas and describing the atmosphere as chaotic.
Addressing the situation openly, Khairul Aming explained that the disruption was caused by an unexpected failure of the restaurant's StoreHub Point of Sale (POS) system, marking the first time such an incident had occurred since Rembayung opened six months ago.
What Happened At Rembayung?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/600aeb4e6916ed107d4f895fd33a262b8eefaaf512b9b8078e41213f2c82f6fc" />
According to Khairul Aming, the issue began when the StoreHub POS system suddenly stopped transmitting customer orders to the kitchen.
As a result, although customers were able to place their orders, the kitchen did not receive them through the digital ordering system, forcing the restaurant team to immediately switch to manual order-taking.
Staff had to write down every order individually before passing them to the kitchen, significantly slowing down food preparation and affecting the restaurant's scheduled dining slots.
The delays during the lunchtime service also had a knock-on effect on later reservations, with customers booked for the 2pm session reportedly having to wait longer before they could be seated.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/8fd8235b2f10ddf792888e51535633992848b4cbe1a4d7d7bfe5272282d61f3a" />
In a post shared on Threads, Khairul Aming wrote:
"Sorry for today's chaotic lunch service. Throughout six months of operating, today is the first time our StoreHub POS system went down, causing every order to fail to reach the kitchen.
"We had to manually write every single order, which delayed food preparation during the lunch slot and caused the 2pm session to be pushed back. The system is still down for now, but the situation is under control for the 4.30pm slot onwards."
Operations Gradually Returned To Normal
Despite the unexpected disruption, Khairul Aming assured customers that his team acted quickly to minimise the impact.
While the POS system remained unavailable for some time, the restaurant continued operating using manual processes to ensure customers could still be served.
According to his update, operations became significantly more manageable by the 4.30pm dining session as staff adapted to the temporary workflow while waiting for the system to recover.
The incident also highlighted how heavily modern restaurants rely on digital ordering systems, where even a brief technical outage can quickly affect kitchen operations, table turnover and customer waiting times.
Customers Praise Khairul Aming's Transparency
As news of the disruption spread online, some customers initially shared concerns over the long queues and delays, with one social media user joking that the restaurant looked "like a riot" as diners waited outside for their allocated time slots.
However, the conversation soon shifted after Khairul Aming personally addressed the issue and explained what had happened. Many netizens praised him for responding promptly, taking responsibility and communicating openly instead of remaining silent.
Several commenters also pointed out that technical failures can happen to any business, especially those that rely heavily on digital systems, and commended the restaurant staff for continuing to serve customers despite having to process every order by hand.
Others expressed sympathy for the kitchen and front-of-house team, noting that manually recording dozens of food orders during a busy lunch rush would inevitably slow service.
First Major Technical Issue Since Opening
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ec3fd924baab286c1a75d9d47499a5aad2761e48a598a6dd16d3a867f9782bce" />
According to Khairul Aming, the POS outage is the first major operational issue Rembayung has experienced since opening around six months ago.
The restaurant has grown rapidly in popularity, regularly attracting fully booked dining slots and long queues thanks to its modern take on traditional Malay cuisine and the entrepreneur's strong online following.
Although the unexpected system failure temporarily disrupted one of the restaurant's busiest services, many customers appeared understanding of the circumstances, acknowledging that technical issues are sometimes unavoidable.
With operations already stabilising by the afternoon, diners are hoping the issue has now been fully resolved and that Rembayung will soon return to its usual smooth service.

Every business faces its first hurdle. For Rembayung, it came in the form of an unexpected system outage during the lunch rush.

Khairul Aming Apologises After Rembayung's POS System Outage Causes Delays During Lunch Service

Just weeks after BIGBANG delighted fans by announcing their long-awaited return to Kuala Lumpur, another familiar face from the legendary K-pop group is also heading to Malaysia.
Former BIGBANG member T.O.P, whose real name is Choi Seung Hyun, has officially announced his first-ever solo Asia fan meeting tour, "T.O.P PRE-STUDIO 2026", with Kuala Lumpur confirmed as one of the tour's major stops.
The announcement marks another exciting moment for Malaysian K-pop fans, who will now have the opportunity to meet the rapper, actor and artist in person as he embarks on a new chapter of his career.
Who Is T.O.P?
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/f56047c22f63d469ceb7244b32d918d7177103da86d27e33b0ce093c2b628ac2" />
T.O.P debuted as one of the lead rappers of BIGBANG in 2006, a group widely regarded as one of the pioneers that helped propel K-pop onto the global stage. Alongside members G-Dragon, Taeyang, Daesung and Seungri, the group became one of the most influential acts of the second-generation K-pop era.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/--zku6TB5NY?list=RD--zku6TB5NY&amp;start_radio=1" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Over the years, BIGBANG dominated music charts across Asia and beyond with iconic hits including Fantastic Baby, Bang Bang Bang, Haru Haru, Lies, Blue and Last Dance. Their influence earned them numerous accolades, including multiple Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA), Golden Disc Awards, Melon Music Awards, and international recognition for helping shape the global Hallyu wave.
While T.O.P was known for his distinctive deep voice and charismatic stage presence, he also established himself as a respected solo artist. His breakout solo releases such as Turn It Up and the critically acclaimed Doom Dada showcased his experimental style, artistic visuals and unique approach to hip-hop.
Why Did T.O.P Leave BIGBANG?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/446059b4f67d777c7f7d4d82908a739ada6572b56e452f9e9f5f950f5e07ac8d" />
T.O.P officially parted ways with YG Entertainment in 2022 before confirming his departure from BIGBANG in 2023 as he shifted his focus towards pursuing independent creative projects.
Following his departure, he expanded his career beyond music, becoming increasingly involved in contemporary art, entrepreneurship and acting.
Most recently, T.O.P introduced himself to a new generation of global audiences through his role as Thanos in Netflix's hugely successful Squid Game series. His appearance in the hit Korean drama reignited public interest in both his acting career and eventual return to music.
Earlier this year, he also made his long-awaited musical comeback by releasing his first full-length studio album in more than a decade, signalling a fresh start as an independent artist.
T.O.P PRE-STUDIO 2026 Heads Across Asia

The newly announced PRE-STUDIO 2026 tour marks T.O.P's first solo fan meeting tour since making his debut nearly two decades ago.
The multi-city tour will kick off with a special free fan event in Yokohama, Japan, on 9 July, where around 10,000 members of his official Japanese fan club, TOPSX JAPAN, will be invited as a gesture of appreciation for their years of support.
Following Japan, the tour will visit several major Asian cities including:

<li>Hong Kong &mdash; 15 August</li>
<li>Taipei &mdash; 22 August</li>
<li>Jakarta &mdash; 19 September</li>

</ul>
His agency, TOPSPOT PICTURES, has also hinted that additional cities may be announced in the near future.

Released under his independent label TOPSPOT PICTURES, the album represents a fresh artistic direction for the rapper, blending cinematic production, introspective storytelling and futuristic visuals. It also performed strongly internationally, reaching No. 1 on the iTunes Albums Chart in 15 countries while also securing a place on the Billboard World Albums Chart.

T.O.P Announces First Solo Asia Fan Meeting Tour, With Kuala Lumpur Stop Confirmed This September

The removal of the RM1 interbank ATM withdrawal fee has been welcomed by many Malaysians, but it has also caused some confusion after several people reported they were still being charged despite the new policy taking effect on 1 July.
Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil has now clarified that the fee waiver does not apply to every ATM in the country. Instead, it only covers ATMs and Smart Recycler Machines (SRMs) that are owned and operated by banks participating in the shared ATM network.
If you are withdrawing cash from one bank's ATM using another bank's debit card, you should no longer be charged the RM1 fee&mdash;provided the machine belongs to a participating bank.
Why Are Some ATMs Still Charging RM1?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/86700a47d538309688d3f955449b53cc4bd27531ed308f2b4e261269e3d19df7" />
According to Fahmi, around 84% of the country's approximately 16,000 ATMs are owned by banks and are covered under the new fee exemption.
The remaining 16% are operated by independent, non-bank companies, which continue to charge the RM1 withdrawal fee as part of their own commercial business model.
These privately operated ATMs are not included in the industry-wide initiative announced by Malaysia's banking sector and therefore remain free to impose the transaction fee.
Fahmi explained that these machines generally operate under separate commercial agreements that differ from those governing the country's banking network.
How To Tell Whether An ATM Is Covered
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2ea857ae9c563287f17ce6c0b2935b63fdb777c3fe4318a9b1764d245cf237bb" />
If you're unsure whether you'll be charged, Fahmi says there's a simple way to tell.
Bank-operated ATMs usually display a prominent bank logo, making them easy to identify.
Meanwhile, independently operated ATMs typically do not carry the branding of a single bank and are instead managed by third-party operators.
As a result, customers using these privately operated machines should still expect the RM1 interbank withdrawal fee to apply.
What Should You Do If You're Still Charged At A Bank ATM?
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/e83794adaf66b3dd3facf270cccff947fb2515bb7086bfe2e1d529dfcb621b2d" />
If you are charged the RM1 fee while withdrawing cash from a bank-owned ATM, Fahmi urged consumers to report the matter to Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM).
According to him, the central bank will investigate whether the charge resulted from a technical issue, an operational error or non-compliance with the new directive by the financial institution involved.
Consumers are also encouraged to keep their transaction receipts or bank statements showing the deduction, as these can help speed up the investigation process.
Bank Negara has been tasked with ensuring banks comply with the new fee waiver and protecting consumers from being wrongly charged.
More Than 14,000 Bank ATMs Now Offer Free Interbank Withdrawals
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ab7072e1482e0eee0b9fbeebe27df6cb7d66f17dd8b4ea933c9ef215d20d055d" />
The fee waiver, which came into effect on 1 July, was introduced through a joint initiative by the Association of Banks in Malaysia (ABM), the Association of Islamic Banking and Financial Institutions Malaysia (AIBIM), the Association of Development Finance Institutions Malaysia (ADFIM) and Payments Network Malaysia (PayNet).
Under the initiative, debit cardholders can now make unlimited interbank cash withdrawals at more than 14,000 bank-operated ATMs and Smart Recycler Machines (SRMs) nationwide without paying the RM1 fee.
The move is aimed at making cash withdrawals more convenient and affordable by allowing customers to use participating ATMs regardless of which bank issued their debit card.
Social Media Confusion Prompted The Clarification

Fahmi's clarification came after social media users questioned why they were still being charged RM1 despite the policy taking effect.
Some posts showing transaction receipts quickly gained traction online, leading many to believe the fee waiver had not been properly implemented.
However, other users soon pointed out that many of the transactions had likely been carried out at independently operated ATMs, which are not covered under the exemption.
To avoid confusion, Fahmi reminded Malaysians to look for the bank logo before making an interbank cash withdrawal. If the ATM belongs to a bank, the RM1 fee should no longer apply. If it does and you are still charged, consumers are advised to report the incident directly to Bank Negara for further action.

The RM1 interbank ATM withdrawal fee has been abolished at bank-operated machines, but some ATMs will still continue charging it.

Still Being Charged RM1 At The ATM? Here's Why It Happens And When You Should Report It

After several days of disruption caused by a cyberattack, motorists across Selangor can once again use the Smart Selangor Parking and Flexi Parking apps to pay for parking as normal.
Both platforms confirmed on 2 July that their services have now been fully restored following recovery works and extensive system testing. This also means that parking enforcement by local councils has officially resumed, so drivers are once again required to pay for parking according to the usual rates and time limits to avoid receiving a parking summons.
In separate announcements, both Smart Selangor Parking and Flexi Parking thanked users for their patience throughout the outage and apologised for the inconvenience caused.
What Happened To The Parking System?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c8b2caf2a7876309bb08bc737d7191b491490d4f4a9008746c4d976f12afbf29" />
The disruption began on 30 June, when motorists suddenly found themselves unable to make parking payments through the affected applications.
Initially, Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said the issue was related to a system migration and instructed local councils across the state to temporarily suspend issuing parking summonses while the platform was unavailable.
However, Selangor Local Government and Tourism Committee chairman Datuk Ng Suee Lim later confirmed that the outage was caused by a cyberattack involving the Flexi Parking system.
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Famirudinbinshari%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0mqyhVRvYQYaZaGLCfG8B3b7YHa3NH39xFxUhzAjRgSCsysVnTkFqvU65GytnfRtMl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="693" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The incident was not limited to Selangor alone. The Flexi Parking platform, which is used by 64 local authorities nationwide, experienced widespread disruption that also affected states such as Sabah and several councils across Malaysia.
The matter has since been referred to the National Cyber Security Agency (NACSA) and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) for further investigation.
Expect A Few Minor Issues After The Restoration
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/3db6cafc09d8906cec7e4fa264c971f7e2ce717d57b6db6b53c2cae288af385b" />
Although both applications are now operational again, users have been advised that some teething issues may still occur while the system stabilises.
Flexi Parking says it is currently handling a high volume of enquiries from users experiencing issues, with reports including:
<ul>
<li>Missing account credit or top-up balances</li>
<li>Difficulty reloading funds</li>
<li>Payment history discrepancies</li>
<li>Other app-related technical issues</li>
</ul>
The company has assured users that every report is being reviewed individually and has asked affected motorists to contact its customer support via private message with the following information:
<ul>
<li>Registered phone number</li>
<li>Vehicle registration number</li>
<li>Description of the issue</li>
<li>Screenshot (if available)</li>
<li>Payment or compound details, where applicable</li>
</ul>
Given the scale of the disruption, users may need to exercise a little patience while customer support works through the backlog.
Parking Summonses Are Back &mdash; And So Are Previous Records
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2b9f4685953997f575fd8fd331ee3321879d5fadd15daeca8eb1c9c9506afbc6" />
For motorists who enjoyed a brief break from parking enforcement during the outage, that grace period has officially ended.
With both Smart Selangor Parking and Flexi Parking fully operational again, local councils have resumed issuing parking summonses, meaning drivers should ensure they continue paying for parking before leaving their vehicles.
Those checking their accounts may also notice that previous summonses and compound records have reappeared following the system's restoration.
While some users were initially surprised to see outstanding compounds showing up again, these records were only temporarily inaccessible during the service disruption and have now been successfully restored alongside the system.
A Cyberattack That Affected Much Of Malaysia
The incident highlighted just how widely the Flexi Parking platform is used across the country.
Developed by Leading Innovative Technologies and Systems (LiTS), the platform powers digital parking payments for 64 local authorities nationwide, making the outage one of the largest disruptions to Malaysia's digital parking infrastructure in recent years.
During the downtime, several local authorities temporarily suspended parking enforcement because motorists were unable to make payments, while others introduced alternative payment methods where available.
Now that recovery has been completed, authorities say parking services have returned to normal. However, motorists are encouraged to double-check their parking sessions, account balances and outstanding compounds, and to report any discrepancies through the official customer support channels.

Parking payments and enforcement have resumed across Selangor, but some users are still reporting minor issues after the system's restoration.

Debuting in 2009, T-ARA is widely regarded as one of the defining acts of K-pop's second generation and played a major role in the genre's rapid rise across Asia during the early 2010s.
