Earlier this month, a horrifying incident unfolded at Setia City Mall in Setia Alam when gunfire erupted, causing panic among shoppers. The shooter, later identified as 35-year-old Yap Chin Boon, fired multiple shots inside the mall, hitting a 40-year-old male cleaner in the legs and buttocks. The incident led to widespread fear and concerns over public safety.
Following the attack, Yap managed to flee the scene by hijacking a vehicle at gunpoint. He forced the driver to help him escape via the Shah Alam Expressway before abandoning the car and disappearing. Authorities later revealed that he had been attempting to rob a gold shop but abandoned the plan before resorting to violence.

For the next nine days, Yap remained at large, committing several additional crimes while moving through different locations, including Klang, Banting, and Melaka. His offences during this period included:
<ul>
<li>Holding an e-hailing driver at gunpoint and forcing him to drive from Klang to Melaka.</li>
<li>Stealing a motorcycle in Melaka.</li>
<li>Threatening a lorry driver and forcing him to transport him to Sabak Bernam, where he carried out a break-in.</li>
<li>Forcing another lorry driver to drive him back to Klang.</li>
</ul>
These crimes, along with his violent past, cemented his reputation as a highly dangerous fugitive, prompting an extensive manhunt.

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

According to the Selangor Police, Yap was a wanted criminal with a long history of serious offences, including:
<ul>
<li>Section 3 of the Arms Act 1971 &ndash; Possession of firearms.</li>
<li>Section 307 of the Penal Code &ndash; Attempted murder.</li>
<li>Section 384 of the Penal Code &ndash; Extortion.</li>
</ul>
In addition to these offences, he had prior records for armed robbery and drug-related crimes under the Dangerous Drugs Act in both 2011 and 2022.
Tracked Down: The Final Showdown at Pulau Ketam
After days of relentless searching, law enforcement officials tracked Yap down to a hotel in Pulau Ketam. A joint operation between the Bukit Aman and Selangor Criminal Investigation Departments was conducted, leading to a raid at approximately 3:00 AM on 18th February.
Upon being confronted by the police, Yap reportedly engaged in a shootout, leading to his fatal demise. The authorities confirmed that two loaded firearms were found in his possession. Selangor Police Chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan later stated that the suspect had an extensive criminal history, with records of armed robberies and drug-related offences dating back over a decade.

Public Reactions and Heightened Security Measures
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/784df4a7f4bb817f763f8aa20c44f93b8095263273988d3dfbbeda6a86d63cf3" />
Since the shooting at Setia City Mall, security concerns have risen among the public. Although normal operations at the mall have resumed, heightened security measures have been implemented to prevent future incidents. In response to the attack, Selangor Police have announced increased security at shopping centres and other high-traffic locations across the state.
Furthermore, police have urged security personnel at malls and public spaces to undergo refresher courses and emergency drills to better prepare for potential threats. The tragic event serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and swift law enforcement actions in maintaining public safety.
Authorities Urge Public to Stay Vigilant
While the suspect has been neutralised, authorities continue to emphasise the need for public awareness and cooperation. The police have urged citizens to report any suspicious activities, especially in crowded areas, to help prevent similar incidents in the future.
The case of Yap Chin Boon, a dangerous fugitive with a long history of crime, underscores the importance of robust security measures and rapid police response. Despite the fear and chaos caused by the Setia City Mall shooting, the swift action taken by law enforcement has reassured the public that safety remains a top priority.
Credit goes to our dedicated law enforcement officers for successfully ending the suspect&rsquo;s crime spree. Let&rsquo;s hope that such efforts continue, paving the way for a safer society. Perhaps one day, we can aspire to the low crime rates seen in countries like Japan or even Singapore.

A disturbing incident in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, has ignited widespread outrage after a university student was allegedly caught recording upskirt videos of women using a mobile phone hidden in a shopping bag. The dramatic confrontation was captured in a viral video, leading to the discovery of over 500GB of voyeuristic footage and triggering renewed concerns over public safety and predatory behaviour in urban areas.
Suspicious Behaviour Spotted in Crowded Street
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fsinn.er.75709%2Fvideos%2F1089399166438885%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=266&amp;t=0" width="266" height="476" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The incident unfolded near the popular Lot 10 shopping mall, where a group of Malaysian university students noticed a man behaving oddly as he trailed a woman wearing a skirt. He was holding a paper bag in an unnatural position&mdash;angled just beneath the woman's skirt&mdash;as they crossed the street. Inside the bag, his smartphone was facing upward, allegedly positioned to secretly film beneath her clothing.
Realising something was wrong, the group&mdash;including the woman&rsquo;s friends&mdash;immediately confronted him. One of them grabbed his hand and asked, &ldquo;Bro, what are you recording?&rdquo; as another began recording the confrontation. The man, who was wearing a face mask, attempted to flee but was stopped at a nearby traffic light and later tackled to the ground when he tried to escape again.
Students Take Action Before Police Arrive
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c8bf8060a85e637a063bc8dd1d42ea8f988df6367b7f29806a2f8298a0ae601d" />
As onlookers gathered, the suspect was pinned down and held in a headlock by one of the students to prevent him from fleeing again. A security guard eventually intervened and took control of the scene before the police arrived. While waiting, the group demanded the suspect unlock his phone.
Initially, no incriminating content was visible, prompting concerns that the man may have deleted evidence. However, one of the students realised that some Android devices can switch between multiple user accounts or operating environments. Upon switching systems, they made a chilling discovery.
Staggering Archive of Voyeuristic Material Uncovered
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/993404169f1b8e5a5710b77d669039a9060577d9aeb942bf6d2e48f99611cf42" />
The phone reportedly contained approximately 500GB of illicit upskirt videos and images&mdash;a collection so vast that it shocked even the seasoned among the group. In a follow-up video and accompanying Facebook post, one woman who was at the scene claimed that the phone held thousands of such recordings. Many of the victims appeared to be unaware they were being filmed, and several were reportedly not wearing safety shorts, making the act even more invasive.
Additional material found on the device allegedly included records linked to online gambling platforms, prompting speculation that the suspect may be involved in other illegal activities.
Suspect Believed to Be a Cyberjaya Student
Further investigation by the group revealed that the man is believed to be a student at a university in Cyberjaya. This revelation has sparked concern that such predatory behaviour might be occurring undetected within academic environments.
Fearing that the man could evade serious consequences or return to campus under false pretences, the students decided to publicly share their experience and the video of the confrontation. &ldquo;We don&rsquo;t want this person to tell people he was arrested for gambling and just carry on as if nothing happened,&rdquo; said one of the students involved.
Motivated by Justice, Not Fame
The video quickly went viral, with many praising the students for their courage and initiative. However, the individuals behind the video were quick to clarify their motivations. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re not doing this for attention or praise. We just want to make sure he doesn&rsquo;t get away with it&mdash;and that women are warned,&rdquo; said the victim&rsquo;s friend in a statement.
The students stressed that sharing the video was about raising awareness, not showcasing heroism. They also warned other university students to stay vigilant, as there was evidence suggesting the suspect might not have acted alone.
Here&rsquo;s some reactions from netizens online:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">

Legal Grey Area for Student Vigilantes
While public reaction has been overwhelmingly supportive, there is concern that the students could potentially face legal action for forcibly unlocking the suspect&rsquo;s phone before police arrived. One of the women involved acknowledged this risk, saying they were told at the police station that the suspect&rsquo;s rights might have been violated by their actions.
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fsinn.er.75709%2Fvideos%2F1745435799695127%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=266&amp;t=0" width="266" height="476" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Still, she maintained that the need to secure evidence before it was erased outweighed the potential legal risk. &ldquo;We did what we thought was right. If we hadn&rsquo;t checked the phone, the truth may never have come out,&rdquo; she explained.
Police Yet to Issue Official Statement
As of the time of writing, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) have not released an official statement regarding the case. According to the group, the suspect was handed over to authorities and an investigation paper was opened. Whether he will be formally charged, and under what offences, remains to be seen.
The delay in official response has left some netizens calling for swifter police transparency and clearer protocols for such incidents involving sexual harassment and digital evidence.
A Wake-Up Call for Urban and Campus Safety
The case has sparked widespread conversation across social media, particularly among women sharing tips on how to protect themselves in public. Many are advising others to wear safety pants when wearing skirts and to remain hyper-aware of their surroundings, especially in crowded areas like Bukit Bintang.
This incident is now being viewed as a wake-up call not just for law enforcement, but for educational institutions, city authorities, and the public at large. With perpetrators increasingly using clever tactics and technology to commit such acts unnoticed, the need for proactive community vigilance and stronger deterrents has never been greater.
As the case continues to unfold, many hope it will serve as a precedent for how serious digital voyeurism is treated&mdash;and how important it is for ordinary citizens to act when they witness wrongdoing.

Students Confront Suspected Voyeur In Bukit Bintang: 500GB Of Upskirt Videos Found

The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) have come under the spotlight once again following the circulation of a video featuring one of its officers allegedly engaging in inappropriate behaviour. The footage, lasting just over two minutes, shows a lower-ranking officer involved in a lewd conversation with a woman, during which he is heard inviting her either to his house or to a hotel. The video was widely shared on social media, drawing public criticism and raising questions over professional conduct within the force.
According to PDRM, the incident is believed to have taken place in the Ampang Jaya district of Selangor. In response, a disciplinary and criminal investigation has been launched against the officer.
Official Statements and Immediate Response
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ed686b1231310e88c282edac43a7b9eefbc034678cdc9c5d2e424283ef4e00f8" />
Datuk Seri Azri Ahmad, Director of PDRM&rsquo;s Integrity and Standards Compliance Department (JIPS), confirmed that the department is actively investigating the case from both disciplinary and supervisory standpoints. He stated that stern action would be taken if the officer&rsquo;s behaviour was found to have violated the law or internal regulations. The department is also reviewing the role of the officer&rsquo;s superiors in overseeing his conduct.
Azri stressed that the police will not tolerate misconduct among its ranks and reminded all officers that they are accountable not just to their superiors, but also to the public they serve.
Separately, Ampang Jaya District Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Azam Ismail revealed that the officer in question has already been temporarily relieved of his duties pending the outcome of the investigation.
Dual Investigations Under Penal and Multimedia Laws
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The officer is now being investigated under two key laws. The first is Section 509 of the Penal Code, which deals with words or gestures intended to insult a person&rsquo;s modesty. The second is Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which addresses the misuse of network facilities or services to transmit offensive or indecent content.
In tandem with the criminal investigation, an internal disciplinary process is being carried out to assess breaches of the police code of conduct.
Public Urged to Assist in the Investigation
The police have issued a call for witnesses and members of the public to come forward with any information that may assist in the investigation. Those who can provide relevant details are encouraged to contact the Ampang Jaya District Police Headquarters at 03-4289 7222.
Public reaction to the video has been swift and overwhelmingly negative. Social media users have condemned the officer&rsquo;s conduct, labelling it as disgraceful and a stain on the reputation of the police force. Many called for stronger oversight, transparency, and harsher penalties for officers who misuse their position of authority.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments from netizens:

Integrity Issues Plague PDRM Amid Officer Misconduct Scandal
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c0107cb4103f1c63428b01f6199299432f30673010010bba5acb5125c93b8a02" />
The recent viral misconduct case is just the tip of the iceberg for the PDRM, as broader concerns about internal discipline and professionalism continue to mount. Between January and May 2025, 492 officers were subjected to disciplinary action, with 59 dismissed and 146 suspended, according to Datuk Seri Azri Ahmad, Director of PDRM&rsquo;s Integrity and Standards Compliance Department (JIPS).
The most common offences were integrity-related violations (333 cases), followed by governance issues (45), drug offences (42), criminal acts (38), syariah breaches (19), and corruption (15). The figures were revealed during Azri&rsquo;s visit to the newly officiated Maran District Police Headquarters, which serves over 115,000 residents.
Public complaints about police misconduct also surged, with 2,637 reports filed in just five months&mdash;1,892 formal complaints and 745 public tips. In response, PDRM launched the Aduan JIPS PDRM app, offering a more transparent platform for the public to report wrongdoing.
End of a Career and a Call for Reform
Azri&rsquo;s remarks came as part of his final tour of duty, with his retirement scheduled for 26 June 2025, marking the end of a 37-year career in the police service. His departure comes at a pivotal moment, as PDRM faces mounting pressure to reform and rebuild trust with the public.
While the current case may involve a single officer, it has highlighted systemic concerns around supervision, discipline, and the need for continued vigilance against abuses of power.
As public trust hangs in the balance, PDRM&rsquo;s response to this case&mdash;and to misconduct more broadly&mdash;may determine how effectively the force can evolve to meet modern standards of accountability and transparency.

PDRM Officer Under Investigation After Inappropriate Remarks Caught In Viral Video

In a striking example of how appearances can be deceiving, two luxury car drivers were recently caught by the Selangor Road Transport Department (JPJ) for driving without valid road tax and insurance. Despite being behind the wheel of a BMW X5 and a Ford Mustang, both drivers claimed they were unable to renew their documents due to financial hardship.
The enforcement operation, Ops Harian, was held on Thursday, 12 June 2025, along the Kajang&ndash;Cheras Expressway, and ran from 2pm to 11pm. The two high-end vehicles were stopped during routine checks, and further inspection revealed they were in breach of road regulations.
Excuses Don&rsquo;t Match the Lifestyle: &ldquo;We Couldn&rsquo;t Afford It&rdquo;
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/fbdee992811e8e304b4b807275173071cf379ce939ded5c2df829dcc2ce96d9a" />
According to Selangor JPJ Director Azrin Borhan, the Ford Mustang, driven by a man in his early 30s, was flagged for not having a valid Motor Vehicle Licence (LKM) or insurance. The driver claimed he was unable to renew his road tax due to being blacklisted as a result of multiple outstanding traffic summonses.
The driver of the BMW X5, a man in his 40s, was found to be in even more serious violation &mdash; his vehicle had been driven with an expired road tax for more than a year and without any valid insurance coverage. When asked for an explanation, he too cited financial difficulties as the reason.
Both men stated that although they could afford to purchase luxury cars, they were struggling to maintain legal compliance with basic motoring requirements, such as road tax and insurance.
JPJ: &ldquo;Owning a Luxury Car Does Not Make You Above the Law&rdquo;
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/3666431d0bb6eb807001f1a2e8c0b508bf2620364e59dc4118eb5f0be08654f8" />
In response to the violations, both vehicles were immediately seized and taken to the JPJ Shah Alam branch for further investigation and enforcement action.
Azrin Borhan delivered a strong message to the public:
&ldquo;Driving an expensive vehicle is not a licence to break the law. Regardless of income or status, all road users must follow the same regulations. There will be no exceptions for those who own luxury cars.&rdquo;
He also stressed that stern action would be taken against individuals who are found to be negligent or who intentionally ignore their responsibilities as drivers.
A Recurring Issue: Expensive Cars, Missing Paperwork

Cases like this are not new. Authorities have seen a growing number of incidents where owners of high-end vehicles neglect to maintain the basic legal requirements. According to JPJ, many such offenders prioritise luxury aesthetics and brand image over legal compliance and safety obligations &mdash; often at the cost of other road users.
The two vehicles involved in this latest case &mdash; a Ford Mustang and a BMW X5 &mdash; are each worth hundreds of thousands of ringgit in the Malaysian market. The discrepancy between such valuable assets and the drivers&rsquo; claimed inability to pay for legal documents has reignited public concern over irresponsible ownership practices.
JPJ Urges Public to Stay Vigilant and Report Violations
JPJ also encouraged members of the public to report traffic offences through official channels. Those who witness violations or suspect similar offences can lodge a report by emailing aduantrafik@jpj.gov.my or by using the e-Aduan JPJ mobile app. Reports should include sufficient detail and the complainant&rsquo;s contact information to allow for proper follow-up.
Azrin concluded his statement by calling on all motorists to take responsibility for their vehicles and comply with national road safety laws at all times.
&ldquo;Road safety is a shared responsibility. We urge everyone to ensure their vehicles are properly taxed, insured, and maintained. Anyone found to be negligent will face legal consequences.&rdquo;

Luxury Car Owners Caught Driving Without Road Tax Blame ‘Financial Issues’

1Fit, once celebrated for revolutionising the fitness scene in Malaysia with its flexible and affordable class offerings, has officially announced the end of its operations in the country. The abrupt closure has left users reeling, particularly those who had invested in long-term memberships.
The platform allowed members to access a wide range of workout options&mdash;from Pilates and bouldering to swimming and gym sessions&mdash;under a single subscription plan. For many, it was a cost-effective way to enjoy variety and convenience in their fitness routine. However, in a sudden statement shared via their official social media accounts, 1Fit revealed that it has entered a formal liquidation process due to inadequate funding.
No More Bookings or Membership Access

In the announcement, the company stated that all services had been suspended with immediate effect. Users would no longer be able to make new bookings or purchases, and all existing memberships were now void. The platform also posted a video featuring 1Fit CEO Murat Alikhanov, who confirmed the company&rsquo;s inability to maintain operations despite numerous efforts to sustain the business. He added that users could request refunds via a link provided in their bio, though many have since voiced concerns about the lack of clarity and transparency surrounding the refund timeline.
Consumers Express Frustration Over Timing and Communication
The timing of the announcement and the lack of early warnings have stirred considerable backlash online. Users questioned why 1Fit continued to promote and sell memberships&mdash;some costing upwards of RM2,000&mdash;even in the days leading up to the shutdown. There were also criticisms regarding the platform&rsquo;s use of influencers and fitness ambassadors (KOLs) to attract new sign-ups, potentially while knowing the company was no longer financially viable.
One user commented, &ldquo;It is unacceptable that 1Fit was still pushing RM2K annual plans and asking KOLs to get more people to sign up, while knowing full well they were going to shut down. It shows a complete lack of respect for paying customers.&rdquo;
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/cde8a10d1910a40587d9398ad6681015ee982c955f8940c3f4343104bfa0ca8f" />
Personal Stories of Loss
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/196038c8de1ae310a78bac92b35671e6d636ec4ed5d76e44e33731161d331982" />
Several members have come forward to share their frustrations and financial losses. A recent subscriber, told that she paid RM2,500 for a 15-month membership after being introduced to 1Fit by a friend. Unfortunately, she only managed to use the platform for 2.5 months before it was shut down.
&ldquo;I was really enjoying the flexibility and the variety of classes. It fit my schedule and lifestyle perfectly. To see it all disappear so suddenly is heartbreaking&mdash;and unfair,&rdquo; she said.
Her friend, a longer-term member, is also affected and has already submitted a refund request, but has yet to receive any confirmation.
The Fitness Community Steps Up
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a0a3b2837f993a99a76d24f30689097f1769ea7eb475b2d2841e711a1dfce350" />
Amid the fallout, many of 1Fit&rsquo;s former partner gyms and studios have chosen to support the affected users rather than turn them away. A growing number of businesses are now offering free trial classes or heavily discounted packages to ex-1Fit members, with some even honouring active memberships for a limited time.
This compassionate response from the fitness industry highlights its resilience and customer-first mindset. It has been especially encouraging for users who suddenly find themselves without access to workouts they had come to rely on.
Lessons in Accountability and Consumer Protection
While 1Fit&rsquo;s liquidation may have been a business decision driven by economic realities, the manner in which it was handled has raised serious questions about consumer protection, transparency, and corporate responsibility. Many are now calling for stronger regulations on subscription-based platforms and more robust safeguards to prevent consumers from being left in the lurch.
With fitness increasingly moving into the digital and app-based space, the 1Fit incident may serve as a cautionary tale for startups and users alike. It underscores the importance of transparency, timely communication, and fair treatment of paying customers&mdash;especially when things go wrong.
What Happens Next?
As affected users wait for further updates on the refund process, the full scale of the impact is still unfolding. Whether refunds will be processed promptly remains unclear, and questions linger about whether legal action may be taken by disgruntled members.
For now, many are left disappointed, financially affected, and wary of future fitness tech offerings. The hope is that this experience will lead to better consumer protections in the digital wellness industry going forward.

The tour, slated for October 2025, marks their first full-scale live shows in the region since their 2015 performance at MTV World Stage in Malaysia.
The band will perform in Singapore on 4 October 2025 (Saturday), followed by a show in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 8 October 2025 (Wednesday). Fans in other major Asian cities&mdash;Seoul, Taipei, Hong Kong, and Shanghai&mdash;will also be treated to performances as part of the tour.

While details about the concert venues and ticketing have yet to be released, anticipation is already running high, with longtime fans eager to secure their spots once ticket sales open.
Who are SEKAI NO OWARI?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/f6ea9c97865babb502415da9a43fccfd5a117e07069b11d6bd8a61e6db1d798c" />
SEKAI NO OWARI&mdash;literally &ldquo;End of the World&rdquo; in Japanese&mdash;is a four-piece pop-rock band whose kaleidoscopic sound and whimsical aesthetics have made them one of Japan&rsquo;s most influential contemporary groups. Formed in Tokyo and major-label&ndash;debuted in 2011, the line-up has remained unchanged: enigmatic front man Fukase (vocals, lyrics), multi-instrumentalist and band leader Nakajin (guitar), classically trained Saori (piano, stage design) and the ever-masked DJ LOVE (turntables, sampling). Their break-through single &ldquo;Starlight Parade&rdquo; lit up domestic charts, but it was 2013&rsquo;s anthemic &ldquo;RPG&rdquo;&mdash;theme for Crayon Shin-chan: Very Tasty! B-grade Gourmet Survival!!&mdash;that catapulted them into mainstream popularity, earning double-platinum certification and establishing their trademark blend of fairy-tale lyricism and stadium-sized hooks.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gsVGf1T2Hfs" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The quartet&rsquo;s catalogue is now packed with era-defining hits: the folk-EDM crossover &ldquo;Dragon Night,&rdquo; orchestral ballad &ldquo;Sazanka,&rdquo; and 2022&rsquo;s TikTok-fuelled &ldquo;Habit,&rdquo; which dominated the Billboard Japan Hot 100 for eleven consecutive weeks and captured the Grand Prix (Song of the Year) at the 64th Japan Record Awards. Their music frequently crosses into film and anime: &ldquo;Anti-Hero&rdquo; and &ldquo;SOS&rdquo; bookended the live-action Attack on Titan movies, while &ldquo;RAIN&rdquo; served as the end-theme for Studio Ponoc&rsquo;s animated feature Mary and the Witch&rsquo;s Flower.

SEKAI NO OWARI&rsquo;s albums&mdash;Tree (2015), the twin releases Eye and Lip (2019), and 2023&rsquo;s Habit&mdash;have each topped the Oricon charts, and the group&rsquo;s imaginative arena productions (complete with circus sets and giant inflatable creatures) are regarded as some of the most immersive live experiences in J-pop. Alongside multiple Japan Gold Disc Awards and MTV VMAJ wins, the band has collaborated with Western acts such as Owl City and Epik High and even released English material under the name End of the World, underscoring their global ambitions. With genre-bending singles, award-winning visuals and a devoted fandom that spans generations, SEKAI NO OWARI continue to re-define what a Japanese pop band can be on&mdash;and beyond&mdash;the world stage.
A Full-Sensory Experience: Not Just a Concert
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ace1a03a2e87263a32b170753433d0eac311233b22b9134661e423a7a93eaade" />
Those familiar with SEKAI NO OWARI&rsquo;s previous shows know to expect more than just a musical performance. Renowned for their cinematic visuals, immersive stage designs, and emotionally charged atmospheres, the band creates a multisensory journey that resonates long after the final encore.
Their setlists typically blend heartfelt ballads with electrifying anthems, driven by their unique fusion of J-pop, alternative rock, and electronica. Songs like SOS and Anti-Hero, which featured in the Attack on Titan films, are fan favourites that showcase their emotional storytelling and genre-defying sound.
This tour promises the same dramatic energy and breathtaking visuals that have become synonymous with the group&rsquo;s identity, making it a must-see event for fans across Asia.
A Decade in the Making
SEKAI NO OWARI&rsquo;s return to Southeast Asia has been a long time coming. Their last performance in Malaysia dates back nearly a decade, and fans have waited patiently for another chance to experience their powerful live presence. Since their MTV World Stage appearance, the band has gained international attention under their English moniker End of the World, collaborating with global artists and appearing at major music festivals.
With this tour, they are bringing their global momentum back to Asia, igniting excitement among their dedicated fanbase, known affectionately as S.N.O.W.S.
Stay Tuned for Ticket Sales
&nbsp;<img src="https://media.tenor.com/Azuy9B8e13gAAAAM/sekai-no-owari-snow.gif" />
Currently, concert venues, ticket pricing, seating plans, and possible VIP perks have yet to be announced. However, the official tour announcement was shared via the band&rsquo;s social media channels, and further updates are expected soon.
Fans are encouraged to keep a close eye on official platforms for more information and to prepare in advance&mdash;because tickets are expected to sell out fast.
Whether you're a longtime follower or new to their music, SEKAI NO OWARI&rsquo;s Phoenix Asia Tour promises an unmissable experience. With their emotionally resonant performances, genre-spanning sound, and breathtaking visuals, their return to Southeast Asia is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Japanese live tours of 2025.
So mark your calendars:
