Kuala Lumpur is set to transform into a K-pop paradise this June as two of the genre&rsquo;s biggest acts&mdash;GOT7&rsquo;s BamBam and the sensational girl group (G)I-DLE&mdash;are slated to perform together at the highly anticipated &ldquo;K-Pop Big 2 Super Concert&rdquo;. Taking place on Saturday, 14th June 2025 at Stadium Merdeka, the event promises an electrifying night of music, fanservice, and unforgettable moments.
A Power Duo That Needs No Introduction

Debuting in 2018 under Cube Entertainment, (G)I-DLE has rapidly risen through the ranks to become one of K-pop&rsquo;s most influential girl groups. Comprising Soyeon, Miyeon, Minnie, Yuqi, and Shuhua, the quintet is widely recognised for their fearless concepts, genre-defying sound, and rare ability to self-produce their music&mdash;led by the group&rsquo;s leader and visionary, Soyeon. Their breakout debut single &ldquo;LATATA&rdquo; immediately established them as trendsetters, and since then, they&rsquo;ve continued to push boundaries with bold, theatrical releases such as &ldquo;TOMBOY,&rdquo; &ldquo;NXDE,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Fate.&rdquo;

&ldquo;Fate,&rdquo; in particular, achieved a Triple Crown on Korean music shows and topped the Circle Digital Chart, further cementing the group&rsquo;s reputation as hitmakers. Their distinct blend of edgy visuals, performance artistry, and lyrical depth has earned them both commercial success and critical acclaim. In 2024, they took home Record of the Year at the Melon Music Awards, a win made even more meaningful by their announcement of contract renewals with Cube Entertainment&mdash;a symbolic moment of unity and longevity in an ever-changing industry.
(G)I-DLE&rsquo;s connection with Malaysian fans is especially strong, having last performed at the 9 Wave Music Festival in 2023. Their anticipated return continues to excite fans, who have watched the group&rsquo;s evolution from rookies to global powerhouses in just a few short years.

Thai-born artist BamBam, a member of GOT7, has carved a remarkable path as both a group performer and a soloist. After debuting with GOT7 in 2014 under JYP Entertainment, he launched his solo career in 2021 with the mini-album riBBon, showcasing a softer, more introspective side to his artistry. He later released Sour &amp; Sweet in 2023&mdash;his first full-length solo album&mdash;which highlighted his growth as both a vocalist and a visual performer.

BamBam&rsquo;s solo journey has been nothing short of dynamic. From frequent appearances at international festivals, to embarking on his first solo world tour (THE 1ST WORLD TOUR [AREA 52]), he&rsquo;s demonstrated his ability to command a stage and connect with fans across borders. His accolades include Best Artist and Asia Celebrity awards at the 2021 Asia Artist Awards, reflecting his widespread appeal.
This year, he returns once again to Malaysia, having previously captivated audiences at the SEGi K-Pop Soundwave Festival 2024 and in August 2023 with his AREA 52 tour. His visit also comes at a meaningful time, as GOT7 celebrates their 11th anniversary with the release of Winter Heptagon under Kakao Entertainment&mdash;a symbolic and heartfelt comeback. Adding to the excitement, fellow GOT7 leader Jay B is also set to appear in Malaysia as part of his TAPE: RE LOAD Asia Tour, reinforcing the group's special bond with the devoted Ahgase fandom in the region.
From group leader to global icon, BamBam continues to captivate both with his music and his magnetic personality&mdash;proving that his star power shines brightly whether on his own or with GOT7.

K-Pop Fever Hits Malaysia: BamBam & (G)I-DLE To Headline Massive Joint Concert In Kuala Lumpur This June

Following the overwhelming success of her Love Is In The Sky concert last year at Arena of Stars, Resorts World Genting, Malaysia&rsquo;s most treasured songstress, Dato&rsquo; Sri Siti Nurhaliza, is once again ready to grace the stage in spectacular fashion.
In celebration of her phenomenal three-decade-long career, she is set to perform in the highly anticipated Violet Skies: Dato&rsquo; Sri Siti Nurhaliza Live in Arena of Stars concert &mdash; a grand musical showcase that promises to be a mesmerising journey through her timeless classics and greatest hits.
Who Is Siti Nurhaliza?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/1a95498fffe7ad906c2f3e617d066bdbe71c1a7e1195be6fc54ae5ca4aed85df" />
Dato' Sri Siti Nurhaliza is one of Malaysia&rsquo;s most iconic and celebrated singers, often regarded as the nation's &ldquo;Voice of Asia&rdquo; for her incredible vocal range and emotional performances. Born in 1979 in Pahang, she rose to fame after winning the RTM Bintang HMI competition in 1995 at just 16 years old. Her debut album Siti Nurhaliza (1996) propelled her into stardom with timeless hits like "Cindai," "Bukan Cinta Biasa," and "Purnama Merindu," songs that have since become Malaysian pop classics.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dWFzE0NiGrI" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Throughout her illustrious career, Siti Nurhaliza has released more than 20 albums, selling millions of copies across Southeast Asia. She has won over 300 local and international awards, including multiple Anugerah Industri Muzik (AIM) awards, MTV Asia Awards, and even accolades from the World Music Awards, where she was named Best-Selling Malaysian Artist multiple times. Her ability to bridge traditional Malay music with contemporary pop has made her a household name not just in Malaysia, but also in Indonesia, Singapore, and Brunei.
A lesser-known but fascinating fact about Siti Nurhaliza is her venture into Mandarin-language music. She recorded a Mandarin version of her hit "Jian Ai" (Simple Love) and showcased her linguistic and cultural versatility by performing in Mandarin at several events. She even co-hosted programs in China, strengthening her presence in the broader Asian entertainment scene and proving her ability to transcend language barriers.
With a career spanning nearly three decades, Dato' Sri Siti Nurhaliza remains a beloved and influential figure whose artistry continues to inspire new generations across the region.
A Spectacular Night of Nostalgia and Celebration

There are few names as deeply woven into Malaysia&rsquo;s cultural fabric as Dato&rsquo; Sri Siti Nurhaliza. Universally loved for her soaring vocals, heartwarming stage presence, and unwavering humility, she has spent the last 30 years captivating fans both at home and abroad.
Her last two concerts at the Arena of Stars sold out swiftly, proving that her ability to command the stage and mesmerise audiences remains as powerful as ever. This latest performance marks her triumphant return to Genting Highlands, and is expected to draw thousands eager to celebrate her outstanding contribution to the regional music scene.
Attendees can look forward to an enchanting evening where Siti will revisit the songs that have become anthems for generations. From her early ballads to her more contemporary offerings, the Violet Skies concert will be a heartfelt tribute to the moments and melodies that have defined her journey.

Siti Nurhaliza To Celebrate 30 Years Of Musical Brilliance With Violet Skies Concert This July

Let&rsquo;s be honest &mdash; Malaysia is nothing short of a food paradise. No matter where you go, whether it's around KL, up north, down south, or even along the east coast, you're bound to stumble upon great food. Our culinary landscape is incredibly diverse, thanks to our multiracial heritage, offering a rich tapestry of flavours and cuisines. Each region has its own iconic dishes too, from the many types of laksa to countless local specialities that showcase the depth of our food culture.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6e8125d15e08ced5a0748509b7d76cf6f48b11ef80877b62b658915256193393" />
However, if there&rsquo;s one habit we need to address, it&rsquo;s our obsession with eating late at night. Sure, lepak sessions at the mamak or wandering through vibrant street food scenes are a big part of our social life &mdash; and undeniably fun &mdash; but we also have to remember the health risks that come with eating heavy meals during the late hours.
The latest National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2024: Nutrition has sounded the alarm over Malaysians&rsquo; eating patterns, highlighting a concerning trend: the rising frequency of late-night heavy meals. Health authorities are now urging the public to rethink their habits before this trend spirals into a bigger national health crisis.
Late-Night Suppers Becoming a Serious Health Issue
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/800fd6a627dd212ebd16d9e7c0dc2902267a97735aaeae1f7184e7dcc8fcaa5e" />
According to the findings, a significant proportion of the population &mdash; 41.8 per cent of adolescents and 33.5 per cent of adults &mdash; admitted to consuming heavy meals late at night at least once a week.
Speaking at the launch of the NHMS 2024: Nutrition report, Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad advised Malaysians to practise moderation. &ldquo;Before going to bed, reduce the intake of heavy meals. It&rsquo;s not that you can&rsquo;t eat, but always in moderation,&rdquo; he said, emphasising that while occasional indulgence is understandable, consistent late-night eating could have detrimental effects on health.
The NHMS findings point to direct links between heavy late-night meals and several health complications, including disrupted sleep patterns, digestive issues, and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Regular indulgence may also contribute to weight gain, obesity, and a higher risk of metabolic disorders such as diabetes and hypertension.
A Broader Look at Malaysia&rsquo;s Dietary Challenges
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/4b8c9b955d93265b9e7c054b5635c9104afa4fdd736e0bdcd7fcb2d2c3ffd560" />
The survey findings do not stop at late-night eating. Malaysians' overall dietary habits are also under scrutiny, particularly with regard to sugar and salt consumption &mdash; two factors heavily associated with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) that have been on the rise nationally.
The report reveals that 63.1 per cent of teenagers and 47.0 per cent of adults are consuming sugar in excess of recommended levels. Alarmingly, nearly half of this intake comes from sugary beverages, which remain a popular choice across all age groups despite ongoing health campaigns.
Similarly, salt intake is substantially higher than advised. About 75.9 per cent of adults were found to consume more than 5 grams of salt daily &mdash; equivalent to one teaspoon &mdash; with actual average consumption closer to 7.3 grams. Although there has been a slight improvement compared to previous years, Dr Dzulkefly warned that the figures remain concerning.
&ldquo;These habits, though they may seem minor or occasional, carry major health consequences. They are fuelling the rising rates of obesity, diabetes, and hypertension in the country &mdash; all stemming from our daily food choices,&rdquo; he said
Alarm Over Micronutrient Deficiencies
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/1e8c5700529ed505e4e4edbac31268a85bfe230422281dbac3473abb4996cfb7" />
Beyond sugar and salt, the NHMS 2024 also exposes worrying gaps in micronutrient intake among Malaysians. A significant portion of the population is found to have insufficient iodine levels, with 45.7 per cent falling below the World Health Organisation&rsquo;s recommended standards.
Deficiencies in essential vitamins such as A and C are also widespread. Poor consumption of fruits and vegetables is largely to blame, with the survey showing that only 12.8 per cent of adolescents and 17.1 per cent of adults meet WHO&rsquo;s recommended daily fruit intake. Even fewer &mdash; just 5.2 per cent of adolescents and 12.2 per cent of adults &mdash; consume sufficient vegetables.
Dr Dzulkefly stressed that these figures paint a bleak picture of the nation&rsquo;s nutritional health. &ldquo;We are not eating enough fresh produce. This lack of basic nutrients has significant repercussions, weakening immune systems and heightening vulnerability to illnesses.&rdquo;
Ministry of Health Steps Up With Campaigns and Partnerships
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0aa72bbd6db5734f3a53d391b47c1b0d8b560113b1210fc11545b8f9e4dc7378" />
In response to these troubling trends, the Ministry of Health has launched a range of initiatives to encourage healthier eating habits nationwide.
Among the most notable is the War on Sugar Campaign, which aims to extend its outreach to all 222 parliamentary constituencies by 2027. Measures such as reducing the sugar content in instant beverage sachets from 5g to 3g, and the introduction of a sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) tax, form part of this aggressive push.
Efforts are also being ramped up under the War on Salt Campaign, with a strong focus on public education, clearer nutritional labelling on food products, and greater collaboration with food operators to promote healthier recipes. Dr Dzulkefly said the Ministry is working closely with chefs and local businesses to popularise meals that are lower in sugar and salt without compromising on taste.
Symbolic changes are also being considered, including discontinuing the serving of heavy meals during official late-night events to set a positive example at the government level.
&ldquo;These are not just policies on paper. They are active, strategic moves to shift our national food culture in a healthier direction,&rdquo; Dr Dzulkefly asserted.
A National Call to Action: Start Small, Act Early
Above all, the Health Minister called on Malaysians to take the findings seriously and to view the NHMS 2024 report not merely as a set of statistics, but as an urgent wake-up call.
He encouraged the public to take advantage of free health and nutrition screenings available at Ministry of Health Wellness Hubs and other public health facilities. Early detection of dietary-related risks, he said, is critical in preventing more serious health complications down the line.
<img src="https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExdWp6OGUxcGZ4bWhuMXltcnpnMTNoZzlmbzJwMG5oeWFxaGpseDhpeiZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/yWTrzwWVS9x1zHPIwT/giphy.gif" />
&ldquo;Start small. Adjust your habits bit by bit. Don&rsquo;t wait until it&rsquo;s too late. These small changes, if made consistently, can transform your future health outcomes,&rdquo; he urged.
The message is clear: while Malaysia&rsquo;s rich and vibrant food culture is a point of national pride, it must be enjoyed responsibly. In a nation where food is central to identity and community, achieving a balance between enjoyment and health is now more important than ever.
Never neglect your health, and don&rsquo;t wait till it&rsquo;s too late. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments.

Malaysians Urged To Rethink Late-Night Eating Habits Amid Health Concerns

Klang Valley residents planning to be out and about on Friday, 26 April, are strongly advised to steer clear of Bukit Jalil, which is set to be inundated with crowds due to two major back-to-back events expected to draw more than 100,000 people.
Malaysia Cup Final and Amy Search Concert Happening Simultaneously 
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2972c1808ab61964af6e32e80708535f60379639f8683c9cc46287abc4dd0e32" />
The Malaysia Cup Final between Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) and Sri Pahang FC will kick off at 9.00pm at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium, while rock legend Datuk Amy Search will be performing his Magic Konsert Solo Pertama at the nearby Axiata Arena, starting at 8.30pm.
Originally scheduled for 12 April, the Malaysia Cup Final was postponed to 26 April following requests from the finalist teams. The change allowed fans more time to participate, especially with the Hari Raya celebrations taking place earlier in the month.
Both events are expected to attract huge turnouts &mdash; the stadium alone can accommodate 87,500 spectators, and reports suggest over 60% of football tickets have already been sold, while Amy Search&rsquo;s concert has seen similarly high demand.
Authorities Brace for Major Congestion from 5PM Onwards
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/27a6ae43b5cdc7bb868228b5bf6f1ababcfafe82e0708fc57c4eb0165a806be6" />
With massive foot traffic heading to both venues in the same precinct, severe congestion is anticipated from as early as 5.00pm, potentially lasting well past midnight.
The public has been strongly encouraged to use public transportation, especially the LRT Sri Petaling Line, which stops directly at Bukit Jalil LRT Station &mdash; just a short walking distance to both venues.
To accommodate the rush, Rapid KL has announced extended operating hours for Bukit Jalil station and several key interchange stations across the Klang Valley until 12.30am on 27 April.
Extended LRT Hours: Stations Involved 
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/79fd6fb3e2d377a29e2e947b48454fc751c9a85fe597df588df20f01859f06fc" />
Those planning to take the LRT are advised to ensure their Touch 'n Go cards are topped up in advance for a smoother experience. The following lines and stations will have extended hours:
🟥 Ampang / Sri Petaling Line:
<ul>
<li>Bukit Jalil (main station)</li>
<li>Sungai Besi</li>

Driving Instead? Use These Alternative Routes
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/bea3e8c4c5501887f652dde625c15f384f225f5cc7c848ecc9a4404056c54547" />
If you must drive, authorities advise motorists to avoid peak times and consider using alternative expressways to bypass the worst of the traffic:
<ul>
<li>From Klang or Subang: Use the KESAS Expressway towards Sri Petaling.</li>
<li>From Cheras or Ampang: Take the SUKE Expressway.</li>
<li>From KL City Centre: The SMART Tunnel provides a quicker route from Jalan Tun Razak to Jalan Sungai Besi.</li>
</ul>
Leaving early and checking navigation apps for real-time traffic updates is highly recommended.
Tips to Navigate the Crowd Safely
To make your evening enjoyable and hassle-free, event organisers and local authorities have offered several key tips:
<ul>
<li>Arrive at least an hour early to avoid last-minute delays.</li>
<li>Secure your belongings and be cautious in crowded areas.</li>

Traffic Alert: Over 100,000 Expected In Bukit Jalil For Football Final & Amy Search Concert On 26 April

&nbsp;
For many teachers, the classroom is more than just a place to deliver lessons &mdash; it becomes a second home, and students become, in a sense, extended family. Teaching is a profession that demands not only intellectual rigour, but immense emotional commitment. It involves sacrifice, patience, and a deep belief in the potential of every child, no matter how difficult the path may be.
This devotion is especially evident in the story of Muslim Ismail, a teacher at SMK Gemas in Negeri Sembilan, whose recent reflections about one of his students have touched the hearts of thousands online. His tribute is a powerful reminder that success in education is not always measured in grades or trophies, but in the lives changed &mdash; and the dignity preserved &mdash; along the way.
A Boy Who Felt Out of Place
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/00374dea87346022292adf62947e18ec568d697866ec58d14b81ae233bc8f313" />
In a moving Facebook post, Muslim shared the story of a student who never quite fit into the conventional academic mould. The boy wasn&rsquo;t disruptive or rebellious &mdash; he simply stopped attending school regularly during Form 4. His absence nearly led to expulsion, but thanks to the quiet perseverance of a special needs teacher, and later, Muslim himself, the boy slowly began returning to class.
&ldquo;He was a good student. Polite, soft-spoken. He never caused any trouble &mdash; he just wasn&rsquo;t present,&rdquo; Muslim wrote. &ldquo;Maybe the school environment didn&rsquo;t suit him. A place so focused on grades, comparisons and competition can be alienating, especially when you&rsquo;re struggling with comprehension or memory.&rdquo;
A Place to Belong: The Poetry and Song Club
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b0ace24ae3244e076f5376dfd98b9025f9e0463dd2a41e7c42c38c2723891bcb" />
Keen to draw the boy back into school life, Muslim tried a different approach &mdash; one based not on academic pressure, but on empathy. He discovered that the boy had a love for music, so he encouraged him to join the school&rsquo;s poetry and song club.
They never won any contests. That, however, was never the goal.
&ldquo;He came back to school, I believe, because he felt accepted. Valued. That might have been the only fond memory he had of school,&rdquo; Muslim said.
In the classroom, the boy continued to struggle. He consistently failed exams, but he approached his assignments in the Landscape and Nursery vocational subject with determination. His work was rarely perfect, yet he applied himself with care and effort. Muslim never scolded him, knowing that for this student, just trying was already a victory.
A Long-Awaited Victory, Too Late to See 
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/7ec65881a6831b168d4bd468d2ad2f49e2d75c2da745ff70b969dea52bf6cfa1" /> 
Then came the 2023 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations &mdash; the final academic hurdle for many Malaysian students. When results were released on 24 April 2024, Muslim was overjoyed to see the boy had finally achieved a pass.
In fact, he scored an A- &mdash; in none other than Landscape and Nursery.
It was his first and only passing grade. A triumph after years of struggle. But heartbreakingly, the student would never see it.
Just three days earlier, on 21 April, he had passed away from an infection following surgery for appendicitis. The news devastated Muslim and the school community. The boy had finally crossed the finish line &mdash; but life had taken him before he could bask in that success.
&ldquo;Suddenly I miss him,&rdquo; wrote fellow SMK Gemas teacher Mas Masliana. &ldquo;He was such a well-mannered boy.&rdquo;
A Final Farewell and A Prayer
In his post, Muslim&rsquo;s farewell to his student was deeply personal and spiritual. It captured the raw grief of an educator who had invested years of care into a young life &mdash; only to lose it just as hope began to bloom.
&ldquo;You don&rsquo;t have many sins,&rdquo; he wrote to the boy. &ldquo;Maybe when the time comes, if I&rsquo;m on the other side, you could ask God to forgive me.&rdquo;
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmuslimismail%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02cMeDPSTZyqD2ogxunhwMH21WCQYCAoDzMYqwsZudtYxtNscLGui8UPRvBatXp94Yl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="607" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The post received an outpouring of support from netizens, who commended Muslim&rsquo;s compassion and praised the student&rsquo;s determination. Many were moved to tears, reflecting on the challenges so many children face in silence &mdash; and the life-changing power of a single adult who chooses to believe in them.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0c1b3f43a0b166970e0a9707d7b4fdf107a880f8af47a85ac8205914fc37d8e9" />
Rethinking Success and the Role of Educators
In a follow-up post, Muslim turned his attention to the broader education system. He urged the Ministry of Education to rethink how success is measured &mdash; not just for students, but for teachers as well.
&ldquo;Every subject has its value. You cannot compare a vocational subject to mathematics or science. Each requires a different skill set, a different mindset, and caters to a different kind of intelligence,&rdquo; he explained.
He pointed out that subjects such as Physical Education, often overlooked, play a vital role in helping students manage stress &mdash; an essential factor in academic performance. Similarly, a teacher who helps a student think logically, even if they fail the subject, still imparts a critical life skill.
&ldquo;Every teacher contributes to a student&rsquo;s development. Success isn&rsquo;t always about straight As,&rdquo; he said.
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmuslimismail%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0vr1f5nT6uXexVSH1deH6CLcTTdkGgp6QkMuzC2cvEUfvcVRGPDefPdcj5vLBN2Jl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="284" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Teaching as an Act of Hope
Muslim&rsquo;s reflections have struck a deep chord among educators and parents alike. His story reminds us that teaching is not about producing perfect students &mdash; it&rsquo;s about meeting each child where they are, and walking with them, however long it takes.
It is about creating moments of dignity for children who feel like they don&rsquo;t belong. It is about opening doors, even when no one else believes the student will walk through them. And sometimes, it is about celebrating a single, hard-won achievement &mdash; even if the person it was meant for isn&rsquo;t there to receive it.
As Muslim aptly concluded, quoting a saying often misattributed to Einstein:
&ldquo;Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.&rdquo;
This story isn&rsquo;t just about one boy who passed a single subject. It&rsquo;s about the immeasurable impact of being seen, supported, and believed in &mdash; even once.

A Teacher’s Devotion And The Legacy Of A Quiet SMK Gemas Student Who Never Saw His SPM Result

Conservative American commentator Bill O&rsquo;Reilly has reignited tensions with Malaysia after doubling down on controversial remarks suggesting Southeast Asian countries, including Malaysia, lack the financial means to benefit from Chinese trade relations. The former Fox News host&rsquo;s comments drew sharp criticism from Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who accused O&rsquo;Reilly of holding a worldview rooted in colonialism and racial superiority.
Xi Jinping&rsquo;s Regional Tour Sparks Economic Debate 
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2f7aebc041329cdd6e457b355330ed4e677bf6ab968aa120dfb644b6e0da3bc7" />
The dispute stems from Chinese President Xi Jinping&rsquo;s recent diplomatic tour of Malaysia, Vietnam, and Cambodia &mdash; a strategic move by Beijing in light of escalating trade tensions with the United States, including a newly imposed 145% tariff on Chinese goods.
O&rsquo;Reilly responded to Xi&rsquo;s visit by questioning the economic value of China&rsquo;s outreach to the three Southeast Asian nations. He suggested these countries lacked the financial capacity to purchase Chinese-made products, sarcastically declaring: &ldquo;We have the money, we buy stuff. The &lsquo;Malays&rsquo; aren&rsquo;t gonna buy your stuff. They don&rsquo;t have any money.&rdquo;
His use of the ethnic term &ldquo;Malays&rdquo; to generalise the entire Malaysian population further provoked backlash online, with many accusing O&rsquo;Reilly of cultural ignorance and racial insensitivity. Read: <a href="https://myc.my/articles/4248/xi-jinpings-southeast-asia-tour-draws-mockery-from-us-commentator-but-malaysias-economic-numbers-tell-a-different-story">Xi Jinping&rsquo;s Southeast Asia Tour Draws Mockery From US Commentator &ndash; But Malaysia&rsquo;s Economic Numbers Tell A Different Story</a>
Anwar Hits Back: &ldquo;Xenophobia, Racism, and Colonial Arrogance&rdquo;
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/08bbca4443221f96e4102a5acfecd8f583bbc2966c981a0e99634993d3cc665c" />
In a strong rebuttal, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim lambasted O&rsquo;Reilly&rsquo;s statements as not only factually flawed but also emblematic of a deeper, more insidious mindset.
&ldquo;He is clearly trapped in a narrow worldview shaped by colonialism, racism, and xenophobia,&rdquo; said Anwar, who also serves as Malaysia&rsquo;s Finance Minister. &ldquo;It reflects a deep ignorance of the socioeconomic realities in Southeast Asia and a belief that only their group or nation is successful.&rdquo;
Anwar&rsquo;s remarks were widely supported by Malaysians and regional observers, who viewed O&rsquo;Reilly&rsquo;s comments as dismissive of the economic progress made by developing nations in Asia.
O&rsquo;Reilly Responds with More Provocation &mdash; and Geography Errors
In a subsequent YouTube video, O&rsquo;Reilly read out Anwar&rsquo;s response, appearing both amused and unrepentant. He reiterated his claim that Malaysians &ldquo;don&rsquo;t have money&rdquo; by citing Malaysia&rsquo;s household income per capita, which he claimed stands at US$5,731 annually (~RM25,110), compared to the US figure of US$42,220 (~RM184,585).
&ldquo;That's eight times higher,&rdquo; O&rsquo;Reilly declared. &ldquo;So if you want to buy a little hat, and you're only making five grand a year, you're not gonna buy it. You're not getting Chinese takeout either in Kuala Lumpur. You're barely eating.&rdquo;
He added, &ldquo;China is not going to be able to sell its stuff in your country, or Vietnam, or Cambodia. Got it?&rdquo;
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/V85NEV6pQZM" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Despite the inflammatory tone, O&rsquo;Reilly did attempt to soften his comments by acknowledging that Malaysia is a &ldquo;beautiful&rdquo; country &mdash; albeit one he described as &ldquo;complicated.&rdquo; He also claimed he wanted the country to succeed but cheekily concluded, &ldquo;this &lsquo;colonialist&rsquo; has told the truth.&rdquo;
However, the commentator went on to confuse Malaysia with Indonesia, wrongly stating that former US President Barack Obama was &ldquo;partially raised in Malaysia.&rdquo; In fact, Obama spent part of his childhood in Indonesia &mdash; an entirely separate country. The factual gaffe further undermined O&rsquo;Reilly&rsquo;s credibility, especially among viewers in Southeast Asia.
The Flawed Economic Comparison: A Misunderstanding of Local Realities
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ce282d27b51434ea8b4d878053177e3f809da63fcc1e8d47c8593eff0347b0dc" />
While the household income figures quoted by O&rsquo;Reilly are broadly accurate &mdash; with Malaysia&rsquo;s data taken from CEIC and correct as of late 2022 &mdash; his interpretation of those numbers lacks nuance. Economic analysts were quick to point out that comparing raw income figures between two vastly different economies without considering the cost of living and purchasing power parity (PPP) paints a misleading picture.
According to forecasts from Statista, Malaysia&rsquo;s household disposable income per capita is projected to rise to RM32,228 (~USD7,370) by 2025. When adjusted for PPP, the income disparity between Malaysia and the US narrows considerably, offering a more accurate representation of everyday purchasing power.
Furthermore, O&rsquo;Reilly&rsquo;s claim that Malaysians are &ldquo;barely eating&rdquo; and can&rsquo;t afford Chinese take-out in Kuala Lumpur drew widespread mockery online. In truth, Chinese cuisine is among the most common and affordable foods in Malaysia. Local Chinese restaurants, hawker stalls, and kopitiams offer hearty meals for as little as RM6 to RM20 &mdash; easily within the reach of most working and middle-class residents.
A Clash of Cultures &mdash; or Just Misinformation?
&nbsp;<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/bf8f9e0672ef18e5532af95f858eae6bc18c59785f744c785baa6a73d7f42766" />
O&rsquo;Reilly&rsquo;s long-standing relationship with US President Donald Trump and his deep roots in American conservative media have helped shape public opinion in the United States for decades. However, his latest comments have highlighted a broader issue: the cultural blind spots and outdated assumptions that still exist in Western commentary on Asia.
While O&rsquo;Reilly may find support from sections of the American right, many in Southeast Asia viewed his remarks as tone-deaf, outdated, and laced with condescension. As Anwar and others have pointed out, such statements not only misrepresent the region&rsquo;s progress but also reinforce dangerous stereotypes about the Global South.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments from netizens:
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/286074c669df0c5f11a2f4de26b0e5871fcfc66b5acef40c8ea242c653e5fb72" />
Conclusion: More Than Just a Viral Clip
What began as a throwaway comment in a YouTube video has now morphed into a diplomatic and cultural flashpoint, illustrating how global discourse is increasingly shaped by online personalities with outsized influence.
In this case, Bill O&rsquo;Reilly&rsquo;s reductive take on Southeast Asia&rsquo;s economy sparked a much-needed conversation &mdash; not just about income disparities, but about the lingering legacies of colonial attitudes and the importance of understanding nations on their own terms.

Bill O’Reilly Doubles Down On “No Money” Claim As Anwar Ibrahim Fires Back

The 2024 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination has delivered the strongest academic performance since the introduction of the current grading system in 2013. The Ministry of Education announced significant improvements across key metrics, with more candidates passing and a higher number earning top grades. However, this success is tempered by a troubling increase in the number of students who failed all subjects &mdash; and those who did not turn up for the examination at all.
Best National Performance Since 2013
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d16602fa49775f808c21bd1b75714e429eba324d4b2d774c80526ce423d50827" />
According to Education Director-General Datuk Azman Adnan, the national average grade (GPN) for the 2024 SPM was 4.49, an improvement from 4.60 recorded in 2023. In the Malaysian examination system, a lower GPN denotes better overall performance. This makes the 2024 cohort the best-performing since the Malaysian Qualifications Framework was realigned over a decade ago.
Of the 402,956 candidates who sat for the exams, 355,933 students &mdash; or 94 per cent &mdash; qualified for the SPM certificate by passing Bahasa Melayu and History, both of which are compulsory. Additionally, 14,179 candidates (3.7 per cent) achieved straight As across all subjects (A+, A, or A-), marking a significant increase from the 12,087 candidates (3.1 per cent) who achieved similar results in 2023.
This upward trend was mirrored across nearly all subject categories, suggesting a broader systemic improvement rather than isolated excellence.
Urban-Rural Gap Narrows Slightly
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d9dd2ed3b3bf23be3b5aca011f12c1913e7bf26f91a922fc2df2e7e0522f12d8" />
One notable highlight of the 2024 results is the narrowing of the performance gap between urban and rural students. While urban candidates scored an average GPN of 4.47, rural students recorded 4.92. Though the disparity remains, the 0.45-point difference marks a continuing trend towards greater equity in educational outcomes, aided by digital learning tools, targeted rural support programmes, and increased access to trained educators.
State-by-State: Regional Performance Highlights
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/af6b553b0f1898ac24a4a379134f2284f80856e376c55ac6f5ee16c0446f061e" />
Several states reported performance levels above or on par with the national average, underscoring broader improvements across the education system.
<ul>
<li>Putrajaya maintained its strong academic standing with a GPN of 3.44 &mdash; the best in the country. Out of 1,073 candidates, 99.07 per cent qualified for the SPM certificate, and 175 students achieved straight As.</li>
<li>Terengganu saw its GPN improve from 4.41 in 2023 to 4.31, with 532 students scoring straight As.</li>
<li>Melaka posted a GPN of 4.43, with 414 students earning straight As. Sixteen of these candidates scored A+ in all subjects.</li>
<li>Johor exceeded the national average with a GPN of 4.36. The number of straight-A students rose from 1,247 in 2023 to 1,513 in 2024.</li>
<li>Penang improved to a GPN of 4.39, with 819 candidates achieving at least A- in all subjects.</li>
<li>Selangor, Malaysia&rsquo;s most populous state, recorded a GPN of 4.59 &mdash; slightly better than 4.62 in 2023 &mdash; with 2,368 students obtaining straight As.</li>
<li>Negeri Sembilan outperformed many with a GPN of 4.18 and 804 straight-A achievers.</li>
<li>Kelantan saw a GPN of 4.62, with 436 students scoring straight As.</li>
<li>Other states, including Kuala Lumpur (4.24 GPN), Perlis (4.66), Pahang (4.56), Sarawak (4.92), and Sabah (5.10), also demonstrated modest improvements in overall performance.</li>
</ul>
Alarming Increase in Students Failing All Subjects
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7420d6f60d1fefbe7a34d00e9314eb36635fc70e280477720fca09b69443cbda" />
Despite the national gains, a concerning number of students failed every subject in the 2024 SPM. A total of 1,789 candidates (0.5 per cent) received failing grades across all papers &mdash; including Bahasa Melayu and History &mdash; up from 1,467 (0.4 per cent) the previous year.
The Ministry attributes this to a mix of academic and socioeconomic challenges. Some students continue to struggle with foundational skills due to lingering effects of pandemic-era disruptions, while others face unstable home environments or a lack of academic support. Fatigue from juggling school and part-time jobs &mdash; especially in urban areas &mdash; has also been identified as a major contributing factor.
&ldquo;We found that some students were working night shifts and attending school during the day, which naturally impacts their focus and performance,&rdquo; said Education Director-General Datuk Azman Adnan. &ldquo;These are systemic issues that must be addressed.&rdquo;
Dropouts and Absenteeism: Thousands Did Not Sit for the Exam
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0ea7a5ca9e0dea06717e64dd59090d223f5ffaa9c1dbfd5de4aedc8cb03f97be" />
Beyond those who failed, thousands of students did not turn up for the SPM at all &mdash; a persistent issue that continues to trouble the Ministry. Around 10,000 registered candidates nationwide were absent from the 2024 exam.
In Penang, 239 candidates failed to sit for the papers &mdash; a slight improvement from 338 in 2023. According to State Education Director Wan Sajiri Wan Hassan, financial hardship is often the root cause. &ldquo;Some students prioritise work to support their families over completing their education,&rdquo; he noted.
To tackle this, Penang has rolled out the Jom SPM outreach programme, aimed at re-engaging at-risk students. Led by District Education Offices (PPDs), the initiative collaborates with community leaders and civil society groups to conduct targeted home visits and provide counselling and support.
Ministry&rsquo;s Next Steps: Targeted Support and Strategic Partnerships
The Ministry of Education has pledged a detailed post-mortem of the 2024 results to identify root causes of both failure and absenteeism. Datuk Azman emphasised that the Ministry will not rest on the laurels of improved averages alone.
&ldquo;Inclusive success is our target. We are pleased with the national progress, but equally mindful of the students left behind,&rdquo; he said.
The Ministry plans to expand remedial classes, enhance after-school tutoring programmes, and strengthen collaboration with NGOs, parent-teacher associations, and youth agencies. These efforts aim to deliver not just academic instruction but holistic support for students facing economic or emotional hardship.
