Malaysia&rsquo;s public healthcare system remains under immense pressure, as government hospitals and clinics face ever-growing patient numbers while grappling with chronic shortages of medical personnel. Many Malaysians rely on public health services for their affordability, but the imbalance between demand and available resources has become increasingly difficult to ignore.
300 Patients, Three Doctors: The Crisis at Sungai Buloh Hospital
A viral image shared by a user on Threads <a href="https://www.threads.com/@izzsubari/post/DLkI0qlT7ut?xmt=AQF0Bk5rcwgcbne9lpUKEhYueMgbZYXLE8xtEpTEHqoxwVw">(@izzsubari</a>) has sparked concern across social media. The photo, taken at the Orthopaedic Clinic in Sungai Buloh Hospital (HSgB), revealed a troubling reality: 300 patients were registered for treatment on the day in question, but only three medical officers and one specialist were available.
<iframe id="text-post-embed-0" class="text-post-media" style="border-radius: 2px; margin: 0px; min-width: 300px; padding: 0px; width: 502px; background: #ffffff; border: none; min-height: 500px; height: 650px;" src="https://www.threads.com/@izzsubari/post/DLkI0qlT7ut/embed/" height="110" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-text-app-payload-id="ig-tp-DLkI0qlT7ut" data-gtm-yt-inspected-40="true"></iframe>
In a public notice, the clinic acknowledged the situation, warning that patients would likely face extended waiting periods due to a lack of manpower. The statement apologised for the inconvenience and assured the public that efforts were underway to improve workflow efficiency.
&ldquo;We appreciate your patience and cooperation. The clinic is working to improve its processes to ensure more efficient care for all patients,&rdquo; the notice read.
Netizens Voice Their Opinion
The announcement struck a nerve online. Many Malaysians were quick to voice their frustration at the clear mismatch between staffing levels and patient needs. One social media user estimated that if each doctor had to see 75 patients, with just 15 minutes allocated per consultation, they&rsquo;d be working for over 19 hours straight.
&ldquo;This just isn&rsquo;t realistic. It borders on impossible,&rdquo; wrote one commenter. Others worried about the potential consequences if any of the doctors were pulled away to attend to emergency or ward cases.
Some healthcare professionals also weighed in. A former government doctor shared her experience of handling up to 120 patients a day at a fever centre, describing the toll it took on her mental and emotional well-being.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/bff6840ae48daadcb7e8eafc4abf982e447c79e8c8e2f93d315f61de961ac7ba" />
When Affordability Risks Quality
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2ef68d065954927c9f1264c07cebc81067914f1d29f1f02eb365888e9192a13e" />
While public healthcare is still viewed as a crucial safety net, many are beginning to question the quality of care patients receive under such pressure. Several users on Threads expressed concerns that extremely high patient loads may prevent doctors from conducting meaningful consultations or making well-considered diagnoses.
&ldquo;Healthcare shouldn&rsquo;t just be about accessibility. It also has to be safe, thorough, and effective,&rdquo; one post read. &ldquo;If a consultation is rushed or incomplete, patients could end up misdiagnosed or sent away without proper care.&rdquo;
The growing sentiment among the public is clear: while affordable healthcare is vital, no one should be forced to choose between cost and quality.
New Medical Regulations Aim to Tackle Specialist Shortages

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

In response to these challenges, the Ministry of Health has moved forward with legislative reforms designed to bolster Malaysia&rsquo;s specialist workforce and ensure fairer access to advanced medical care.
Effective from 1 July, the Medical (Amendment) Regulations 2025 and the Medical Act (Amendment) 2024 have come into force. Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad described the changes as a major step towards creating a more transparent, inclusive, and competency-based system for medical specialists.
Key features of the amendments include:
<ul>
<li>Streamlining recognition and registration of specialists from both the Parallel Pathway and local postgraduate programmes.</li>
<li>Ensuring fair and competency-based evaluation processes.</li>
<li>Strengthening the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) to make it more representative and accountable.</li>
<li>Establishing clear service pathways for specialists to continue serving the public health system.</li>
<li>Expanding public access to high-quality specialist treatment nationwide.</li>
</ul>
Dr Dzulkefly added that the first wave of specialists under the Parallel Pathway would cover cardiothoracic surgery, plastic surgery, and family medicine, while genetic pathology would be included under the Master Programme route.
The reforms aim not only to fill existing gaps in specialist availability but also to provide long-term stability for Malaysia&rsquo;s healthcare system&mdash;by improving training pipelines, retaining local talent, and ensuring more equitable distribution of expertise across the country.
A Healthcare System at a Crossroads
The situation at Sungai Buloh Hospital is emblematic of wider structural issues within Malaysia&rsquo;s public healthcare sector&mdash;issues that cannot be solved overnight. With soaring demand and insufficient staff, both patients and healthcare workers continue to bear the brunt of the system&rsquo;s shortcomings.
While the newly introduced reforms mark a step in the right direction, experts argue that systemic change will require sustained political will, better funding, and more immediate support on the ground. That includes short-term staffing solutions, better working conditions for junior doctors, and more strategic resource allocation across facilities.
Until such changes take hold, many frontline doctors will continue to face burnout, and patients will continue to wait&mdash;hoping that a better balance between cost, quality, and care is not too far off on the horizon.

In a world where gig work is often viewed as an unstable or transitional phase, Afiq Zayany is defying the odds &mdash; and expectations. While many associate food delivery with long hours, low pay, and limited future prospects, Afiq has turned it into a high-earning profession that funds his dream lifestyle in a luxury villa.
What makes his story stand out isn&rsquo;t just the numbers &mdash; it&rsquo;s the cross-border discipline, sheer work ethic, and personal philosophy that drive his success.
From Johor Bahru to Singapore: The Daily Commute Behind the Earnings
&nbsp;<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LE4IKQ7W_Jw?si=2V2vK0WiAJFGej9x" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Afiq resides in Johor Bahru (JB), Malaysia, where he owns a sprawling two-storey landed golf villa valued at RM1.4 million. The home features a large compound, three-car garage, and a view that rivals that of most high-end resorts. But to fund this lifestyle, Afiq crosses the Malaysia-Singapore border every single day to work as a Grab delivery rider in the city-state.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/8c9843890768bf76d13f0e9252f7e03defa31aa244cc26361ed729d83b5600a7" />
His daily routine is disciplined: he starts early, rides through busy Singaporean streets, and delivers food orders for six to seven hours, clocking in around 25 deliveries on average. This translates to roughly S$200 (RM660) in daily earnings &mdash; and at that pace, Afiq&rsquo;s monthly income ranges between S$6,000 to S$7,000 (RM20,000+).
In his own words: &ldquo;If you treat this like a real job, not a side hustle, S$4,000 is the minimum. Push harder, and you can hit S$6,000 or more.&rdquo;
The Work Behind the Wages: No Glamour, Just Grit
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/22ba12622b2a7444c0a5b3a5fda6b72ff45a13e943f29d9f751dbbd9863cae49" />
While the income sounds impressive, Afiq is the first to admit the job is far from glamorous. He estimates riding over 250 kilometres a day, exposed to Singapore&rsquo;s unpredictable weather. Some days, it&rsquo;s punishing heat; on others, sudden downpours soak riders mid-route. Beyond that, riders must stay constantly alert &mdash; navigating traffic, avoiding accidents, and meeting tight delivery timelines.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s either scorching hot or you get drenched,&rdquo; he explains. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s exhausting, and you&rsquo;re risking your life on the road every single day.&rdquo;
His typical day may not involve office meetings or air-conditioned cubicles, but it demands more stamina and situational awareness than many white-collar jobs.
Despite the hardships, Afiq says mental discipline is the key. &ldquo;You are your own boss, but people forget that being a boss is hard. There&rsquo;s no one chasing you to work &mdash; so you have to be consistent and motivated.&rdquo;
Acts of Kindness and the Human Side of the Job
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5907480612d7f20713fdca367bcd2f89bea8eb67911b12ddaff9a4f8b89b568a" /> Example of how some leave snacks or drinks outside for riders. 
Amid the hustle, Afiq has experienced moments that restore his faith in humanity. Some customers leave out cold drinks or snacks for riders &mdash; a small but meaningful gesture that brightens an otherwise draining day.
&ldquo;Most customers are thoughtful. When I see snacks left outside for riders, it genuinely makes my day,&rdquo; he says.
These gestures remind him that he&rsquo;s not invisible, and that many people appreciate the hard work behind each meal delivery.
Discipline, Not a Shortcut: How Afiq Built His Routine
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2cc7506d71b6902ac2cf085b57a50edb5b58ffb0ac2537b4bb0c4c86394dc52a" />
Afiq has been a Grab rider for over two to three years, and he is quick to shut down any myths about easy money. While his earnings are impressive, he stresses that they are the result of clear goals, daily routines, and a willingness to endure discomfort.
He keeps detailed records, sets weekly targets (like hitting 180 orders), and takes advantage of platform incentives. On one particular week in May, he earned S$1,283 before incentives, and an additional S$150 bonus for reaching his delivery goal.
But it&rsquo;s not all sunshine and windfalls. &ldquo;If I take a week off, my income drops to around S$4,000,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;But if I work every day &mdash; seven days a week for the whole month &mdash; I can get close to S$7,000.&rdquo;
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZZFwNGR5Wq8?si=_A2qsWKy0_GXRKkw" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
A New Life in Johor Bahru: Peace, Space, and Perspective
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/79a49bff0cf9172d2774c5136e9519026e9b7b15af66b8b84cd0bafaa31c197d" />
Beyond the earnings, Afiq says his decision to live in Johor Bahru has made him happier overall. Compared to Singapore&rsquo;s dense, fast-paced lifestyle, JB offers him space, peace of mind, and a more relaxed pace of life &mdash; without compromising his income.
&ldquo;I feel less stressed, less cramped, and more at peace,&rdquo; he shared. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s the best of both worlds &mdash; I earn in Singapore, but I live in comfort in Malaysia.&rdquo;
No Career Ladder, But a Path to Freedom
While Afiq is proud of his achievements, he is realistic about the nature of platform work. &ldquo;There&rsquo;s no promotion, no HR department planning your career,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s not for everyone. You have to make it work for you.&rdquo;
He praises Grab for offering workshops and training to equip riders with skills, but maintains that success ultimately depends on personal discipline. &ldquo;The flexibility is great &mdash; but don&rsquo;t misuse it. Set goals. Stick to them. Show up every day.&rdquo;
And that, according to Afiq, is how a rider becomes not just self-sufficient, but successful.
Redefining Gig Work: Not a Shortcut, but a Strategy
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/bde69eaac0c2b44aee6f931dfea8bb1acb803bb71751402f8f5fdc330faf2d4a" />
Afiq Zayany&rsquo;s story turns the gig economy narrative on its head. While many dismiss delivery work as low-skilled or unstable, Afiq demonstrates that with strategy, consistency, and grit, even a job seen as &ldquo;temporary&rdquo; can fund a fulfilling lifestyle.
There are no tricks, no hacks, no viral side hustle formulas. Just a man, his bike, his routine &mdash; and a clear sense of purpose.
&ldquo;If you want to earn well doing this,&rdquo; he says, &ldquo;then treat it like it matters. Because it does.&rdquo;

Despite commuting daily to Singapore, completing around 25 deliveries a day helps him maximise his income and live comfortably.

Riding To Riches: How A Grab Rider Purchased A RM1.4 Million Home By Delivering Food

As Netflix gears up to release The Old Guard 2 on 2 July (today), fans across Southeast Asia have been buzzing&mdash;not just about the film&rsquo;s return to its universe of immortal mercenaries, but about the appearance of a new character that&rsquo;s caught the eye of many Malaysians. Played by Malaysian-born actor Henry Golding, the mysterious character named Tuah sparked a wave of excitement and speculation&mdash;especially after promotional posters revealed him wielding a keris, the traditional Malay dagger closely associated with legendary warrior Hang Tuah.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/22ec55fca284cdef6529c3644341600a4396c5127d105a13274769ccf12cb2e7" />
To local audiences, this was no coincidence. In Malay folklore, Hang Tuah is a fabled warrior of the 15th-century Melaka Sultanate, renowned for his fierce loyalty, unmatched combat skills, and iconic weapon, the magical keris Taming Sari. Tuah&rsquo;s name, Southeast Asian heritage, and distinctive blade immediately fuelled theories that The Old Guard 2 was introducing a reimagined version of Hang Tuah into its immortal universe.
Adding to the excitement, Tuah is introduced as a centuries-old character who may hold secrets to the origins of immortality itself&mdash;a character shrouded in myth and mystery, not unlike the revered Hang Tuah himself. Social media lit up with comparisons, fan theories, and even mock-ups of what a modern Hang Tuah would look like. And to be fair, with his facial hair, warrior presence, and keris in hand, Golding certainly looks the part.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
read some theory about the old guard 2 and there is a chance that henry golding is hang tuah in it 😭😭😭 this is genuinely mad if u know anything about malay history
&mdash; ْ (@d00scar) <a href="https://twitter.com/d00scar/status/1939544409558958463?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 30, 2025</a></blockquote>
Golding Breaks the Illusion: A Nod to Luck, Not Legend 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/9b980ccef5c941c4c4b60256b66679a4ca4dfa3cd03bcb59e181f1def30772bf" />
Yet for all the buzz, Golding himself put the rumours to rest in a recent interview&mdash;while still appreciating the enthusiasm. The Crazy Rich Asians and Snake Eyes actor revealed that he had suggested the name &ldquo;Tuah&rdquo; himself during production, inspired by the Malay word meaning &ldquo;luck&rdquo; or &ldquo;fortune&rdquo;.
"It felt right, given the character&rsquo;s role in the story and the spiritual undertones of immortality and fate," he said. But as for being Hang Tuah? &ldquo;No, not quite,&rdquo; Golding admitted with a smile.
Still, he acknowledged the cultural resonance the character&rsquo;s name and weapon held for Malaysian audiences. &ldquo;Of course I understand what Tuah means to Malaysians, and the keris is such a powerful symbol,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I think it&rsquo;s amazing people are seeing echoes of that legend in this role.&rdquo;
Whether intentional or not, Tuah stands as a rare moment of Southeast Asian representation in a global action franchise, and Golding&rsquo;s presence alone adds a layer of cultural pride for many regional fans.
The Return of Immortal Warriors &ndash; and Hollywood Heavyweights
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ebd627e78a2059708e2cb350421d0cf02074fcb42d411af25d952239deb6d0cb" />
Directed by Victoria Mahoney, The Old Guard 2 picks up years after the events of the first film, with Charlize Theron&rsquo;s character Andy grappling with her newfound mortality. The immortal mercenary team&mdash;including Nile (KiKi Layne), Joe (Marwan Kenzari), Nicky (Luca Marinelli), and Copley (Chiwetel Ejiofor)&mdash;is forced to face a dangerous new adversary: Discord, played by Uma Thurman, who claims to be the world&rsquo;s original immortal. Discord threatens to unravel the fragile balance of the immortals&rsquo; existence and jeopardise the mission they&rsquo;ve carried for centuries&mdash;protecting humanity from the shadows.
In a desperate bid to counter Discord&rsquo;s threat, the team turns to Tuah&mdash;an ancient figure with deep knowledge of their shared past and the very essence of their immortality. But while Tuah&rsquo;s role proves pivotal, The Old Guard 2 struggles under the weight of its own expanding mythology. Critics note that the film&rsquo;s pace slows as it attempts to lay the groundwork for a potential third instalment, at times sacrificing emotional payoff for world-building.
Even the much-hyped duel between Theron and Thurman, though serviceable, lacks the cinematic punch one might expect from two of Hollywood&rsquo;s most iconic action stars. Instead, the film&rsquo;s most emotionally charged scenes emerge from the tense reunion between Andy and Quynh (Veronica Ng&ocirc;), her once-ally who has now aligned with Discord after centuries of isolation and betrayal.
Golding on Theron: &ldquo;She&rsquo;s the Female Tom Cruise&rdquo;
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/450945cf37431d20d99977c58e2d7deb4575e757cbd2fbfd42d835f53e08354d" />
Despite mixed critical reception of the sequel&rsquo;s pacing, Golding spoke glowingly of his time on set&mdash;particularly about sharing the screen with Charlize Theron. At the film&rsquo;s premiere at Netflix&rsquo;s Tudum Theatre in Los Angeles, Golding likened her to none other than Tom Cruise, praising her dual role as lead actor and hands-on producer.
&ldquo;She&rsquo;s like a rare commodity in Hollywood,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;She&rsquo;s the female counterpart to Tom Cruise. She&rsquo;s there before anyone else, the last to leave, and right in the middle of the action. She knows exactly what she wants, and she makes it happen.&rdquo;
He added, &ldquo;She and Tom Cruise are some of the last of the true movie stars. You don&rsquo;t see that level of intensity and presence very often anymore.&rdquo;
Theron&rsquo;s career has spanned over two decades, with roles that range from Oscar-winning performances in Monster to her more recent action-driven roles in Mad Max: Fury Road and Atomic Blonde. In The Old Guard 2, her performance once again anchors the story&mdash;serving as the emotional and narrative spine of the film, even when the pacing falters.
Golding also expressed gratitude for being included in such a seasoned ensemble, calling the experience &ldquo;an incredible opportunity to grow, not just as an actor but as part of a team telling a big, global story.&rdquo;
Streaming 2 July: Myth, Immortality, and a Southeast Asian Star
&nbsp;<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lyivgZ074PY" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
While The Old Guard 2 may not have fully capitalised on its blockbuster potential, its ambition remains clear&mdash;and for many Southeast Asian viewers, Henry Golding&rsquo;s inclusion as Tuah brings a long-overdue sense of representation to the genre. Whether or not he&rsquo;s Hang Tuah reborn, the presence of a Malaysian actor wielding a keris in a Hollywood action epic is no small thing.
As the film debuts on Netflix, fans may still debate the origins of Tuah&mdash;but Golding&rsquo;s rising star, and his reverence for the cultural legacy he nods to, will continue to resonate. For now, The Old Guard 2 offers action, mythology, and a diverse cast fighting for humanity&rsquo;s future&mdash;one immortal at a time.

No, he’s not that Tuah. Golding says the name just means “luck” and it fits the story.

Is Hang Tuah In The Old Guard 2? Henry Golding Responds To The Surprising Theory

Malaysians have been left stunned by the tragic murder of 20-year-old university student Maniishapriet Kaur Akhara, who was found dead in her student apartment in Cyberjaya on 24 June. Fresh details from police investigations have now confirmed that the main suspect is the boyfriend of one of her housemates&mdash;who had handed him the access card and keys to the unit prior to the killing.
Maniishapriet, a Bachelor of Physiotherapy student originally from Kuching, Sarawak, was staying alone in the unit at Mutiara Ville after her housemates had left for the semester break. She had remained behind to prepare for an upcoming examination. Her body was discovered around 10am by a concerned friend, who immediately contacted police. She was found unconscious with clear head injuries, and a post-mortem confirmed the cause of death as blunt force trauma to the head.
Access Through Trust: Girlfriend Gave Suspect Entry
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/91e5c870c2a5f368f940904db0a09e04073348e504be968abaf168be610871ae" />
Selangor Police Chief Commissioner Datuk Hussein Omar Khan told reporters on 1 July that preliminary investigations revealed how the suspect gained access to the residence without force. The housemate&mdash;one of the three female suspects now in custody&mdash;had previously allowed her boyfriend to stay over in the unit, and handed him the access card and keys once again before returning to her hometown.
"The main suspect had stayed at the unit before. On the night of the incident, he was given the card and keys again, while his girlfriend had already gone home. He stayed overnight and unfortunately harboured ill intentions toward the victim," said Commissioner Hussein.
Investigators believe that the suspect, now remanded, assaulted Maniishapriet using a blunt object, striking her fatally. There were no signs of forced entry into the apartment, indicating that the suspect&rsquo;s presence there appeared authorised at the time.
While police do not currently believe the crime was premeditated, they are probing whether the housemate had any knowledge of her boyfriend&rsquo;s potential motives or behaviour. &ldquo;We are still investigating whether she was aware of what he intended to do,&rdquo; added Hussein.
Theft, Rumours of Rape, and a Fifth Individual
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7425cf7450a376369914c3c4036fd6590da0b8cc622ab44a64e890a204e44dcb" />
After allegedly killing Maniishapriet, the suspect is believed to have taken several of her personal belongings, including her laptop, mobile phone, ATM card, and cash. Police confirmed that RM200 was withdrawn using her card not long after the incident. They suspect that one of the arrested female individuals may have assisted in making the withdrawal.
Authorities also revealed the involvement of a fifth person&mdash;someone who allegedly received the victim&rsquo;s belongings from the main suspect after the murder. This individual is currently detained in relation to another separate case, but police are in the process of recording a formal statement from him. At present, he is not believed to have played a role in the murder itself.
In the days following the murder, speculation on social media raised the possibility of sexual assault. However, Commissioner Hussein addressed the rumours directly, stating that the post-mortem found no evidence of rape. &ldquo;Based on the pathology report, there are no signs of sexual assault. However, we are not ruling out anything and further investigations are ongoing to confirm or disprove any such claims,&rdquo; he said.
Arrests, CCTV Evidence and the Path Toward Prosecution
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/980d57a60943612f61f1d5e93218eb927941a7088cf861a57a2f2ac0fe9c03e3" />
So far, four individuals have been arrested in connection with the case&mdash;three women and one man, all aged between 19 and 20. They were apprehended in swift police operations conducted in Johor Bahru and Gemencheh, Negeri Sembilan on 26 and 27 June, just 48 hours after the initial police report was filed.
The remand orders for all suspects have been extended beyond the initial 3 July deadline as investigations intensify. Police are also analysing CCTV footage from surrounding areas in Cyberjaya to reconstruct the timeline of events. The apartment unit itself did not have internal surveillance, but officers are confident that external footage will help support the case.
Commissioner Hussein confirmed that police are working to complete the investigation papers, which will soon be forwarded to the Deputy Public Prosecutor. The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder, which carries the death penalty or life imprisonment upon conviction.
The murder of Maniishapriet Kaur has sparked widespread concern and conversation about safety in student housing, especially for those staying alone during the holidays. The betrayal of trust&mdash;facilitated by someone within the victim&rsquo;s own circle&mdash;has only deepened the public&rsquo;s unease.
As investigations continue, the tragedy serves as a sobering reminder that danger can emerge even in familiar places, and that vigilance must extend beyond locked doors. The country now watches closely as the legal process unfolds and justice is sought for Maniishapriet&rsquo;s untimely and senseless death.

Cyberjaya Student Murder: Housemate’s Boyfriend Accused Of Killing 20-Year-Old Maniishapriet Kaur

In an unexpected legal defeat, Italian luxury car manufacturer Ferrari SpA has lost a trademark lawsuit against Malaysian beverage company Sunrise-Mark Sdn Bhd. The dispute centred on claims that the local firm&rsquo;s Wee Power logo, featuring two rearing horses, was too similar to Ferrari&rsquo;s world-famous &lsquo;Prancing Horse&rsquo; trademark.
The Legal Challenge Over Horses
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/90c45b4ba18b1f8ce77e4a6302e0fd0f94bcd95687c9aacf4584b5e4e53c8791" />
Ferrari initiated legal action through an originating summons in an attempt to overturn a 2024 decision by the Registrar of Trademarks. That decision had dismissed Ferrari&rsquo;s opposition to Sunrise-Mark&rsquo;s application, allowing the Wee Power mark to proceed towards registration.
The automaker argued that Sunrise-Mark&rsquo;s use of horses, specifically two rearing horses facing each other, could cause confusion among consumers, infringing on Ferrari&rsquo;s exclusive rights to its iconic single rearing horse symbol, famously seen on its sports cars, merchandise, and global marketing campaigns.
Ferrari also attempted to downplay the significance of the words &ldquo;Wee Power&rdquo; in the branding, asserting that the term &ldquo;Power&rdquo; had been disclaimed in the trademark filing, while &ldquo;Wee&rdquo; was allegedly too generic to carry any unique distinction.
Judge: Not All Horses Are Equal
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/143312a887ba19bd673e9700b00cd5b54c3a37103202c568839d51374f45f85e" />
However, the Malaysian High Court saw things differently. On 30 May, Judge Adlin Abdul Majid dismissed Ferrari&rsquo;s claims, finding that the similarities between the two trademarks were minimal at best.
&ldquo;The plaintiff&rsquo;s [Ferrari&rsquo;s] logo contains a single rearing horse, while the defendant&rsquo;s [Sunrise-Mark&rsquo;s] logo features two rearing horses positioned opposite each other,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;In addition, there is a prominent letter &lsquo;W&rsquo; between the horses&rsquo; heads and the words &lsquo;Wee Power&rsquo; below them. It is a very different composition.&rdquo;
Judge Adlin accepted Sunrise-Mark&rsquo;s argument that &ldquo;Wee&rdquo; was a reference to the founder&rsquo;s name, Wee Juan Chien, rather than a nod to the English definition of the word. She remarked that it was improbable any brand would aim to market an energy drink suggesting &ldquo;very small power&rdquo;.
Different Industries, Different Consumers
Central to the court&rsquo;s decision was the fact that Ferrari and Sunrise-Mark operate in completely unrelated industries. The judge noted that Ferrari is entrenched in the luxury automotive sector, while Sunrise-Mark&rsquo;s business lies in the realm of consumable goods.
&ldquo;These are not competing markets, and it is highly unlikely that the plaintiff&rsquo;s customer base would overlap with the defendant&rsquo;s,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;There is no reasonable likelihood that a consumer purchasing an energy drink would assume a connection with Ferrari&rsquo;s vehicles.&rdquo;
Judge Adlin firmly rejected the notion that the average Malaysian consumer would mistake the Wee Power logo for anything associated with Ferrari, regardless of the presence of horses in both designs.
Sunrise-Mark Free to Proceed With Trademark
<img src="https://media.tenor.com/hG84QGeAAvMAAAAM/mc-gregor-pay-up.gif" />
With Ferrari&rsquo;s lawsuit dismissed, Sunrise-Mark is now free to register and use its Wee Power trademark without legal hindrance. In addition to losing the case, Ferrari was ordered by the court to bear the legal costs.
Representing Ferrari were counsels PC Kok and Ng Pau Chze. Sunrise-Mark was represented by lawyers YY Ho and Amirah Najihah Ameruddin.
Ferrari&rsquo;s History of Aggressive Brand Protection
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/66cda4960af950aaeef270c41e9ff3f6ae3054ff0b27be1d7c5a6eadc80f2456" />
This case is just the latest example of Ferrari&rsquo;s fiercely protective stance over its brand image. The automaker has a long history of enforcing strict rules over how its logo and vehicles are used, extending even to celebrities.
In the past, Ferrari reportedly blacklisted pop star Justin Bieber after he modified one of their cars and failed to follow brand etiquette. Likewise, Canadian DJ Deadmau5 was served legal warnings over his custom-painted &ldquo;Purrari&rdquo;, a Ferrari 458 decorated with a Nyan Cat theme. The car was eventually stripped of its modifications after pressure from the company.
While Ferrari&rsquo;s desire to protect its identity is understandable, this Malaysian court ruling suggests that even powerful global brands must accept reasonable limits when it comes to trademark control, especially when dealing with fundamentally different industries.

Ferrari Loses Trademark Lawsuit To Malaysian Energy Drink Brand

K-pop royalty Super Junior is set to make a grand return to Malaysia in 2026 as part of their global Super Show 10 tour, marking their 20th anniversary in the music industry. The veteran boy band will perform live in Kuala Lumpur on 17 January 2026, at the Axiata Arena, much to the delight of their long-standing Malaysian fanbase.
The concert is part of a wider world tour that will see the group performing in 15 cities across Asia, the Americas, and Japan. This celebratory run also coincides with the release of their highly anticipated 12th studio album, scheduled to drop on 12 July 2025&mdash;their first full album in nearly three years.
The Kings of the Hallyu Wave Who Never Miss a Beat

Debuting in 2005 under SM Entertainment, Super Junior stands as one of the most iconic and influential boy groups in K-pop history. Pioneers of the Hallyu Wave, the group&rsquo;s blend of talent, charisma, and longevity has left a lasting mark on the global music scene.
Originally debuting with twelve members and later expanding to thirteen with Kyuhyun, the current active lineup includes Leeteuk, Heechul, Yesung, Shindong, Eunhyuk, Siwon, Donghae, Ryeowook, and Kyuhyun.

Super Junior achieved a major breakthrough with their 2009 smash hit &ldquo;Sorry, Sorry&rdquo;, a track that not only swept domestic charts but also ignited a global frenzy, helping to propel K-pop into the international spotlight. Other signature hits such as &ldquo;Bonamana,&rdquo; &ldquo;Mr. Simple,&rdquo; &ldquo;No Other,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Sexy, Free &amp; Single&rdquo; further cemented their status as trailblazers of the genre.
The group&rsquo;s accolades speak volumes: 13 Mnet Asian Music Awards, 19 Golden Disc Awards, and even a Teen Choice Award for International Artist. Their live shows, known as &ldquo;Super Show&rdquo; tours, have attracted millions of fans across the globe, with Malaysia remaining a key stop throughout the years. Most recently, they performed at Kuala Lumpur&rsquo;s Axiata Arena in August 2024 as part of their Super Show Spin-off: Halftime tour.
After nearly two decades, Super Junior remains not only a household name but also a symbol of reinvention and consistency in the ever-evolving K-pop industry.

The Super Show 10 tour is not just a milestone celebration&mdash;it&rsquo;s a tribute to the evolution of a group that has stayed relevant in the ever-changing K-pop landscape.

After nearly two years, Super Junior returns to KL in 2026!

Super Junior To Celebrate 20th Anniversary With ‘Super Show 10’ In KL!

What began as an ordinary morning on Monday (30 June), quickly spiralled into a large-scale security and traffic operation near the Menora Tunnel in Perak. At approximately 9.30am, a highway maintenance worker discovered a suspected explosive device while conducting routine landscaping work along Kilometre 265 of the North-South Expressway (PLUS), not far from Jelapang.
The maintenance supervisor, a 51-year-old man, was reportedly clearing vegetation when he noticed an object partially buried in the underbrush. Realising it resembled a military-grade explosive, he immediately informed the PLUS highway patrol unit, who then escalated the matter to the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM).
Confirmation of a Mortar Bomb
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/277c5f588480819805ab86c406aa25ae06f35bc52cc8afafb0057d753003c42b" />
Upon inspection by bomb squad experts from the Perak Bomb Disposal Unit, it was confirmed that the object was indeed an old mortar bomb&mdash;likely a remnant from a past era, though its origins remain unclear. Such explosive ordnance, though rare, is occasionally uncovered in areas that may have seen military movement or exercises in previous decades.
Perak Police Chief Datuk Noor Hisam Nordin said the immediate response from both the police and PLUS personnel ensured the site was quickly secured and no civilians were put in harm&rsquo;s way.
&ldquo;Following the report, a team comprising personnel from the police, the highway patrol, and our bomb disposal unit was deployed for immediate assessment and containment. The situation was treated with utmost seriousness,&rdquo; he stated.
Controlled Detonation and Safety Radius
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/68ba92e61898cc7e19b7294e780090536635639b41cdaa9b2b54bc5b8f529e15" />
The bomb squad took nearly an hour to carry out the neutralisation of the device. A controlled detonation was performed with strict safety protocols in place. Authorities set a blast radius of up to 200 metres, clearing the surrounding area to ensure no lives or property were at risk during the procedure.
The successful disposal of the mortar shell prevented any casualties or damage, but not before significant disruption was caused along one of Malaysia&rsquo;s busiest highways.

PLUS Initiated Temporary Closure of Menora Tunnel Stretch
As a precautionary measure, PLUS Malaysia Berhad initiated a full closure of the Kuala Kangsar&ndash;Ipoh stretch of the North-South Expressway at 3.02pm. The move was essential to ensure the safety of road users while bomb disposal operations were underway.
Northbound traffic was diverted to the Ipoh Selatan Toll Plaza, while vehicles travelling south were redirected to the Kuala Kangsar Toll Plaza. The highway operator made the announcement via its official X (formerly Twitter) account, warning motorists of expected delays and advising them to use alternative routes where possible.
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/f0e46a17bb91cc2df35172abdee27f2c25da6acfdb64b184f5378d691817e4fc" />
The highway closure led to significant congestion along the affected stretch, particularly for southbound travellers. By mid-afternoon, traffic queues had grown to more than 15 kilometres, frustrating drivers and bringing traffic flow to a near standstill in certain sections.
Despite traffic management efforts and public advisories, thousands of motorists found themselves caught in the backlog. Authorities urged patience and caution, reminding road users to remain alert and follow all traffic diversion instructions for their own safety.
Gradual Reopening of Lanes
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/61b768f1c61d113a979e734308cb72a74cba8a619d04b85154fe8cb47398072b" />
After confirming that the area was safe and the explosive had been fully neutralised, PLUS began reopening the lanes in stages. Northbound lanes were the first to resume normal operations at 3.15pm, followed by full reopening of the southbound lanes by 3.44pm.
Perak police confirmed that the incident was handled without injury or damage and praised the efficient coordination between agencies that made the safe resolution possible.
Public Praise and Reassurance
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/66da0800b69d877a4306b68ff31faa59614bba00d2309ef65dcff4775ce42eca" />
The incident has drawn praise from members of the public, particularly for the quick thinking of the maintenance worker who initially reported the device, as well as the professionalism displayed by the authorities involved. Social media users commended the transparency of PLUS and the efficiency of the Royal Malaysia Police in handling what could have been a far more dangerous scenario.
Datuk Noor Hisam reiterated that public safety remains the top priority and reminded Malaysians to immediately report any suspicious objects to the authorities, rather than attempting to move or inspect them on their own.
Old Bombs, New Risks
This event is a reminder that even decades-old explosives can still pose significant threats. Malaysia, like many other countries with a history of military activity, occasionally sees the discovery of forgotten or buried ordnance. While most are inactive, bomb squads always operate on the assumption that any device could be live.
Authorities advise contractors, workers, and members of the public&mdash;particularly those involved in construction, agriculture, or landscaping&mdash;to be cautious and observant during field work.

The old mortar was safely neutralised — but the bigger concern remains: could there be more hidden in the area?
