For many of us, friends, along with family, serve as a crucial support system during difficult times. However, disagreements can arise, sometimes escalating from verbal arguments to physical altercations.
Recently, a 17-year-old boy was brutally attacked with a plastic chair during a brawl outside a mamak stall in Seremban, leaving him convulsing on the ground.
A 41-second video that went viral on X captured the incident, showing a fight between four boys near a food stall, which ended with the victim sustaining severe injuries.
From An Argument Into A Physical Violent Fight

The incident stemmed from a personal dispute between the victim and two other teenagers, which escalated from a verbal argument into a violent confrontation. Initially, the victim attempted to strike one of the assailants, a boy in a grey shirt, with a plastic chair.
Despite his smaller stature, the boy in grey managed to defend himself and retaliated, ultimately breaking the chair and bringing the victim to the ground in the process.
Victim Falls To The Ground And Starts Convulsing

After the boy in the grey shirt managed to slam the victim to the ground, the attackers continued their assault, with one of them delivering a blow to the side of the victim's head, leaving him convulsing on the ground.
Tragically, despite the victim's helpless state, the attackers continued to punch and kick him before fleeing the scene. The attack occurred around 11 p.m. at a restaurant along Jalan Dato&rsquo; Mohd Said, leaving the victim severely injured. Despite his condition, the victim was able to file a police report before being admitted to Tuanku Ja&rsquo;afar Hospital for treatment.
Netizens Say the Assaulters Are Looking For Trouble 
Many netizens pointed out in the comments that the attackers were clearly intent on causing harm, as they continued their assault on the victim even after he was on the ground and convulsing. Some argued that the attackers should be punished under Section 302 of the Penal Code. Although Section 302 specifically addresses the intentional or unlawful killing of another person, if convicted, the law mandates the death penalty by hanging.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:

Police Officially Launched An Investigation Into The Incident
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/ad1b1a26f08aea1e45c3936cfb6873294837b22e9f6cbb33a1a5d488196529df" />
According to Sin Chew Daily, Seremban District Police Chief Mohamad Hatta confirmed that the police received the victim&rsquo;s report at around 4:25 p.m. on Monday, August 19.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the altercation arose from a personal dispute between the victim and two acquaintances.
"The victim was assaulted by two Chinese males using their bare hands and a chair, resulting in severe injuries," Mohamad Hatta stated.
He further noted, "We believe the suspects are between 16 and 18 years old, and we are treating this as a case of voluntarily causing hurt with a weapon, under Section 324 of the Penal Code."
The police have since identified the suspects and are actively pursuing them. Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward and assist in the investigation. Witnesses or those with evidence are encouraged to contact the Seremban District Police Assistant at 019-9661346.
One thing we can all agree on is that violence is never the solution. Whether dealing with disagreements among friends, family, or even business partners, it's crucial to resolve conflicts in a constructive manner. Resorting to violence, as seen in this incident&mdash;or the so-called "<a href="https://myc.my/articles/3550/man-in-viral-penang-fight-insists-he-wouldve-won-he-wasnt-intoxicated">gentlemen&rsquo;s 1-on-1</a>" that occurred in Penang&mdash;should never be the way to settle disputes.

M’sian Teenager Left Convulsing After Violent Brawl Outside Mamak

Malaysia&rsquo;s top men&rsquo;s doubles duo, Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik, continued their exceptional form in 2025 by capturing the Singapore Open title, marking their third major victory this season and signalling a potential ascent to the world No. 1 ranking.
Comeback Kings in Singapore
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/66ab8f5c1d36e34e388ec73d3d32425e98d9371bd5b93d5243c95e7bce714ed9" />
In a thrilling final at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, the world No. 3 pair staged a dramatic comeback to defeat South Korea&rsquo;s 10th-ranked Seo Seung Jae and Kim Won Ho 15-21, 21-18, 21-19 in a 65-minute encounter. The win was particularly sweet as it avenged their previous defeat to the same opponents in the Indian Open semi-finals earlier this year.
After conceding the first game, Aaron-Wooi Yik regrouped in the second set, showing steely determination to level the match. In the deciding set, both sides exchanged powerful rallies, but it was the Malaysians&rsquo; aggressive net play and attacking drives that earned them a 16-12 lead, which they held onto to seal the victory.
Their Singapore Open win follows triumphs at the Badminton Asia Championships in April and the Thailand Open in May. The pair took home a prize of US$74,000 (~ RM314,240), while the runners-up earned US$35,000 (~RM148,627).

Ending a 17-Year Drought
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d196e002fedd481e9534c9657832dd62e4696627e847c8abf96bebef93b15a64" />
This victory ends Malaysia&rsquo;s long title drought in the men&rsquo;s doubles category at the Singapore Open, with the last success recorded in 2008 by the duo of Zakry Latif and Fairuzizuan Tazari. It is also the first time Aaron-Wooi Yik have clinched the title in Singapore, adding to their growing list of achievements.
En route to the final, they beat several elite pairs, including Denmark&rsquo;s Rasmus Kjaer-Frederik Sogaard, Japan&rsquo;s Takuro Hoki-Yugo Kobayashi, compatriots Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun, and India&rsquo;s world No. 1 team of Chirag Shetty-Satwiksairaj Rankireddy.
Credit to the Coach: The &ldquo;Fire Dragon&rdquo; Effect
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/08c486c655377cd74b2afe62e539386a1aed73d3a7d178934ff130ddadb0c906" />
A key factor in Aaron-Wooi Yik&rsquo;s resurgence has been the guidance of renowned Indonesian coach Herry Iman Pierngadi, affectionately nicknamed the &ldquo;Fire Dragon&rdquo;. Having joined the national team just three months ago, Herry&rsquo;s influence is already apparent. He has helped stabilise the pair&rsquo;s consistency, polish their attacking game, and boost their morale in both training and match settings.
&ldquo;Coach Herry has played a huge role. He gives us confidence and doesn&rsquo;t pressure us unnecessarily,&rdquo; Aaron shared. Wooi Yik added, &ldquo;After the first set, we knew we had to push harder. He&rsquo;s refined our playstyle, and this win is part of a much bigger mission.&rdquo;
Eyes on Jakarta: The Indonesia Open Awaits
Buoyed by their Singapore success, Aaron-Wooi Yik now set their sights on the prestigious Indonesia Open (3&ndash;8 June) in Jakarta, a Super 1000 event with a total prize pool of US$1.45 million. The champions in the doubles category will earn US$107,000, with the runners-up pocketing US$50,750.
However, the path to a fourth title this season will be anything but straightforward. Drawn in the top half, they are expected to face formidable opponents including Japan&rsquo;s Hoki-Kobayashi, India&rsquo;s Chirag-Satwiksairaj, and local favourites Leo Rolly Carnando-Bagus Maulana. They also face a tricky opening round clash against Denmark&rsquo;s Frederik Sogaard and Rasmus Kjaer &ndash; the same pair they narrowly beat in the Malaysia Masters.
Climbing the Rankings: A Shot at World No. 1
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/650fc2bc0135fd7fa400e134e5dce4a259c369b583f8cf2cb299506984624314" />
Following their Singapore win, Aaron-Wooi Yik&rsquo;s ranking points surged to 89,870. This places them tantalisingly close to overtaking the current world No. 1 pair Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin (91,090) and world No. 2 Danes Kim Astrup-Anders Rasmussen (90,411). A strong showing in Jakarta could finally see Aaron and Wooi Yik reach the summit of the world rankings &ndash; a position they&rsquo;ve never held despite having been ranked as high as No. 2.
Still, Aaron remains grounded. &ldquo;Our priority is to win titles, not chase rankings. If we continue to perform, the ranking will follow naturally.&rdquo;
A Lucrative Run of Form
The pair&rsquo;s red-hot form has also been financially rewarding. Over their last four tournaments, Aaron-Wooi Yik have amassed RM708,905 in prize money, collecting titles in three of them and finishing runners-up once. With such momentum, they are not only Malaysia&rsquo;s best hope on the international badminton circuit but also firm favourites to make further history in 2025.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/939d2b99b5467a0617e02d6d4f453718fbcf2c9c98c6ba1080f4a660316bdbaa" />
Their resurgence mirrors a wider uplift in Malaysia&rsquo;s men&rsquo;s doubles scene. World No. 7 pair Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun have also been in form, winning the Indonesian Masters in January and defeating Aaron-Wooi Yik at the Malaysia Masters final. Although the duo of Goh Sze Fei and Nur Izzuddin have faltered this year, their past successes indicate strong competition within the national squad.
Former national coach James Selvaraj highlighted the duo&rsquo;s improved mental fortitude, especially in clutch moments. &ldquo;They&rsquo;ve shown the ability to fight back from behind &ndash; something that was missing in previous generations.&rdquo;
Conclusion: More Than Just a Title
Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik&rsquo;s victory in Singapore represents more than just another trophy &ndash; it signals the maturity, consistency, and tenacity of a partnership finally hitting its peak. With strong backing from their coach, growing confidence, and a clear focus on performance over rankings, Malaysia&rsquo;s golden pair are poised to make 2025 their most successful year yet.
Let the countdown to a potential fourth title begin.

OATSIDE Fun Side Creative Contest Winner Announcement!

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

In his farewell note, Rafizi expressed deep appreciation to the civil service, particularly the officers at the Ministry of Economy, for their unwavering support and professionalism throughout his tenure.
&ldquo;I have personally witnessed the capability and efficiency of many civil servants in formulating effective policies and following through with robust implementation frameworks,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I am confident that the programmes aimed at reforming Malaysia&rsquo;s economic structure will continue to thrive under their stewardship.&rdquo;
He also extended his gratitude to all Malaysians, including those in the public and private sectors, the media, and various stakeholders who engaged with him during his time in office.
Rafizi concluded by acknowledging the tough road ahead for the nation but maintained that the long-term mission to elevate Malaysia to a high-income country must continue &mdash; even if the decisions involved are difficult and politically costly.
&ldquo;Our journey to transform Malaysia&rsquo;s economic structure into a more resilient and equitable one is far from over,&rdquo; he stated. &ldquo;We must continue to make sound long-term decisions, no matter how difficult or challenging they may be, for the sake of future generations.&rdquo;
A Career Marked by Principle and Reform
Rafizi&rsquo;s resignation marks a significant moment in the political landscape, not only for the Unity Government but also for PKR, as it navigates leadership changes and policy continuity. His departure signals a strong stance on democratic accountability, reflecting a politician who has consistently advocated for structural reforms, transparency, and data-driven governance. Though no longer in Cabinet, Rafizi's influence on Malaysia's economic policy and political discourse is likely to endure.

Update: Nik Nazmi Also Steps Down Following Party Poll Loss

Following Rafizi Ramli&rsquo;s resignation, Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad has also tendered his resignation after failing to retain his PKR vice-presidency. The two-term Setiawangsa MP confirmed he submitted his resignation letter to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and will officially vacate his ministerial post on 4 July. He will be on leave from 29 May until the day before his departure.
In a statement, Nik Nazmi acknowledged that his role as PKR vice-president was a key factor in his Cabinet appointment. With that mandate now lost, he said it was appropriate for him to make way. He also failed to defend his position as Setiawangsa PKR chief during the party&rsquo;s divisional elections last month.
Nik Nazmi, who ran alongside Rafizi in the party elections, reiterated his commitment to serving as the Member of Parliament for Setiawangsa. His decision mirrors Rafizi&rsquo;s stance that Cabinet positions should be held by those with a clear mandate from the party.

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

In a significant development for animal welfare in Malaysia, the Kuala Terengganu High Court has dismissed an attempt by the Terengganu state government and the Besut District Council to strike out a lawsuit involving the alleged unlawful killing of a stray dog named Kopi. The decision means the case will proceed to a full hearing, with the court scheduled to deliver its verdict on 13 August 2025.
The lawsuit, brought by four animal rights activists, has drawn national attention and stirred public debate about the treatment of strays and the responsibilities of local authorities. Lawyer Rajesh Nagarajan, representing the plaintiffs, praised the court&rsquo;s ruling as a critical step forward.
&ldquo;This is a huge win for animal rights in Malaysia generally and a positive first step towards obtaining justice for Kopi, who was murdered in cold blood,&rdquo; he told reporters following the decision.
Who Was Kopi? The Gentle Stray That Captured Hearts
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/8c626530dfec40c55b530a2c4af6843017a19386865421f6f62abffbbe80d4b6" />

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

A crucial step forward in the fight for justice and animal rights.

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

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