</strong></p>
<p>In a media statement released by Istana Alam Shah on 3 August, the Tengku Permaisuri expressed deep sadness, disappointment and anger over incidents involving cruelty towards pets and stray animals, particularly dogs and cats.</p>
<p>As Royal Patron of the Stray Free Selangor (SFS) initiative under SPCA Selangor, Her Royal Highness said acts such as torturing, injuring, killing or mistreating animals are not only against the law but also represent a failure to uphold compassion and humanity.</p>
<p>She stressed that no form of animal cruelty should ever be accepted or tolerated, regardless of the perpetrator's position, race, religion or justification.</p>
<p>The statement also made it clear that the principle applies equally to individuals, organisations, companies, government agencies and enforcement authorities.</p>
<p><strong>Authorities Must Also Be Held Accountable</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/4e1e82199771befb9fcc8b7b737d77d20bf09fa5163f31cc29cac936be8c4ae5" /></strong></p>
<p>Her Royal Highness called for thorough investigations and appropriate legal action against anyone found responsible for acts of cruelty towards animals, including members of enforcement agencies if they are involved.</p>
<p>She said public confidence in enforcement institutions can only be maintained when officers carry out their duties professionally, with integrity and compassion, rather than using unnecessary force that causes animals to suffer.</p>
<p>The royal statement comes as questions continue to be raised over recent enforcement-related incidents involving animals, with many Malaysians calling for greater transparency and accountability.</p>
<p><strong>Rocky's Death Sparks National Debate</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/df7c6eab5c7839078f46e169e241429ed1cf0a6040cbf374622cdec14fc6acac" /></strong></p>
<p>One case that has drawn widespread attention is the death of Rocky, a pet dog that died during a dog-catching operation in Taman Teluk Gedung Indah, Klang, on 29 July.</p>
<p>According to the Klang Royal City Council (MBDK), the operation was carried out following complaints from residents regarding an increasing number of stray dogs in the area. The council said 11 enforcement personnel, a health officer and around 50 local residents participated in the operation.</p>
<p>MBDK maintained that the capture was conducted according to procedures set by the Housing and Local Government Ministry. The council also claimed the dog's owner acted aggressively by attempting to remove the restraint, resulting in a struggle that prevented officers from safely releasing the noose before Rocky died.</p>

<p>Rocky's owner has strongly disputed the council's version of events, saying she repeatedly pleaded for those involved to stop restraining and allegedly beating her dog.</p>
<p>She maintained that Rocky had never bitten anyone and described him as a beloved family pet raised since he was young.</p>
<p>Animal welfare advocates have also questioned the council's explanation. Former Klang MP Charles Santiago criticised attempts to portray the owner as the problem, arguing that the focus should instead remain on how the dog died while under the control of those conducting the operation.</p>
<p>He has called for an independent investigation, saying any findings should come from an impartial inquiry rather than parties directly involved.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, lawyer Vivek Sukumaran warned that the incident should serve as a broader reminder of the dangers of normalising mob violence, adding that animal cruelty is already punishable under the Animal Welfare Act 2015 with fines ranging from RM20,000 to RM100,000, imprisonment of up to three years, or both.</p>
<p><strong>Investigations Underway</strong></p>
<p>The Housing and Local Government Ministry has since confirmed that it will investigate the incident to ensure it is handled fairly and transparently.</p>
<p>Police have also opened investigations following reports lodged over Rocky's death, while animal welfare group Persatuan Haiwan Terbiar Malaysia said Rocky's body has been preserved for a veterinary post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death.</p>
<p>The outcome of these investigations is expected to determine whether any offences were committed and whether further legal action will be taken.</p>
<p><strong>Calls For Stronger Animal Welfare Laws</strong></p>
<p>Beyond enforcement, the Tengku Permaisuri urged the Federal Government to review the Animal Welfare Act 2015, calling for tougher penalties and more consistent enforcement against those responsible for abusing animals.</p>
<p>Her Royal Highness also called on the government, local authorities, animal welfare organisations and the wider public to strengthen cooperation in animal rescue, treatment, management and protection, ensuring every process is carried out humanely.</p>
<p>She added that compassion towards animals should be instilled from a young age through education and community involvement, with the aim of making Selangor a state where all animals are treated with dignity and respect.</p>
<p>Closing the statement, the Tengku Permaisuri said that the way society treats its most vulnerable creatures reflects its own humanity.</p>
<p>She emphasised that compassion is not a sign of weakness, but rather a measure of a society's strength, maturity and civilisation.</p>

<p>Since launching the original Sambal Nyet Berapi in 2021, Khairul Aming has built one of Malaysia's most successful local food brands. The range later expanded with Dendeng Nyet Berapi and Rendang Nyet Berapi, but fans have been waiting six years for an entirely new sambal.</p>
<p>Now, that wait is over.</p>
<p>According to Khairul, Sambal Nyet Bilis offers a completely different flavour from its predecessor, featuring a richer recipe with more ingredients and a spicier, more aromatic taste.</p>
<p>Unlike the original Sambal Nyet Berapi, which relies heavily on red chillies, the new recipe uses 75% green chillies and 25% red chillies, creating a gentler yet more fragrant heat while maintaining its signature kick.</p>
<p>Fresh anchovies are the star ingredient, complemented by tomatoes, kaffir lime leaves and belacan to produce a sambal inspired by traditional Malaysian flavours.</p>
<p><strong>Personally Sourcing Ingredients Across Malaysia</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/b2e0d5140bff7bfa5eb1c9a27de75dab611d1cdf15869000f0233678871ce802" /></strong></p>
<p>One of the highlights of the launch was Khairul Aming documenting his journey across Malaysia to source the best local ingredients personally.</p>
<p>Rather than simply purchasing raw materials, he travelled to Setiu, Terengganu, where he joined local fishermen out at sea to witness first-hand the demanding process of catching fresh anchovies. He explained that the experience gave him a greater appreciation for the hard work involved in producing what many Malaysians often consider an everyday ingredient.</p>
<p>He also visited chilli farms in Banting, Selangor, learning directly from local farmers about cultivating high-quality chillies before selecting those best suited for the new sambal recipe.</p>
<p>The approach reflects Khairul's continued emphasis on working closely with Malaysian suppliers while highlighting the people behind the country's food industry.</p>
<p><strong>100% Malaysian From Farm To Factory</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/843b5b86712a42958eed65b7e6cc89059b3680770e8a18f1410e22732f2fc949" /></strong></p>
<p>Khairul also revealed that every stage of production remains entirely local.</p>
<p>After sourcing ingredients from around the country, Sambal Nyet Bilis is produced at RASAPOP's manufacturing facilities in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, where all processes&mdash;including quality control, cooking, bottling, packaging and distribution&mdash;take place under one roof.</p>
<p>The company now operates three factories capable of producing more than 12,000 bottles daily, while providing employment for around 100 local workers.</p>
<p>Describing the product, Khairul said it is:</p>
<p>"Inspired by local flavours, made using local ingredients, produced by local people for the world to enjoy."</p>
<p><strong>Biggest Product Launch Yet</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a051f1790de6750c34cc7066496f82429b85b0da0c80819fd3ae4fd86f4330ae" /></strong></p>
<p>Khairul Aming has described the upcoming release as the largest product launch since he started his business.</p>
<p>The first sales batch will consist of 125,000 bottles, all of which will be released during a special TikTok LIVE session on:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Date:</strong> 7 August 2026 (Friday)</li>
<li><strong>Time:</strong> 9.00pm</li>
<li><strong>Platform:</strong> Khairul Aming's TikTok LIVE</li>
</ul>
<p>Pricing has yet to be announced, with further details expected before launch day.</p>
<p>Given the overwhelming response to previous Nyet products, many fans are expecting the new sambal to sell out quickly.</p>
<p><strong>Building On Six Years Of Success</strong></p>
<p>Khairul Aming first became a household name through his cooking videos, particularly his annual "30 Hari 30 Resepi" Ramadan series, before successfully turning his popularity into one of Malaysia's fastest-growing food brands.</p>
<p>His original Sambal Nyet Berapi went on to sell millions of bottles, making it one of the country's most recognisable locally developed food products.</p>
<p>With Sambal Nyet Bilis introducing a fresh flavour profile while maintaining the brand's commitment to Malaysian ingredients and manufacturing, Khairul hopes to offer fans something new while continuing to support local communities across the supply chain.</p>
<p>Those hoping to be among the first to try the latest addition to the Nyet family should mark 7 August on their calendars, when 125,000 bottles go on sale during Khairul Aming's TikTok LIVE launch.</p>

NCT 127 Is Coming To Kuala Lumpur For “NEO CITY – THE RED LINE” Tour In January 2027

<p>After 13 years without a single representative in the Negeri Sembilan State Legislative Assembly, MCA has staged an unexpected political comeback by winning two state seats in the 2026 Negeri Sembilan state election.</p>
<p>While the party secured only two victories from the seven seats it contested, the results marked a significant turnaround for MCA, which had failed to win any state seats since 2013. More notably, both victories came against experienced DAP incumbents, including one of the party's most prominent leaders.</p>
<p><strong>Anthony Loke Loses Chennah In One Of Election's Biggest Upsets</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/a7b7ef7768b00ff1379d5a8b41ce96432474295c1b789ccb5b9645e3557778e6" /></strong></p>
<p>The night's biggest surprise came in Chennah, where first-time MCA candidate Siow Kong Choon defeated DAP secretary-general and Transport Minister Anthony Loke.</p>
<p>According to the official results, Siow secured 5,593 votes, defeating Loke, who received 4,905 votes, by a majority of 688 votes. The defeat ended Loke's 13-year tenure as the Chennah assemblyman, having represented the constituency since 2013.</p>
<p>The contest had been closely watched throughout the campaign, with Loke himself describing Chennah as a "50-50" seat despite his long-standing presence in the constituency. Political observers had noted that the electoral understanding between Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN) strengthened BN's position by reducing vote splitting, particularly among Malay voters, who make up nearly half of the constituency.</p>
<p>Following the result, Chinese-language media dubbed Siow the "dragon slayer" (屠龙手), a reference to his victory over one of DAP's most recognisable national leaders.</p>
<p><strong>MCA Also Captures Repah</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/84c2e7d455cc10825802ebce3b8518499b1e39cebfc984475f730cbdb57c55f1" /></strong></p>
<p>MCA's second victory came in Repah, where Koh Kim Swee defeated incumbent S. Veerapan by 444 votes.</p>
<p>Veerapan had held the seat continuously since 2008, making his defeat another significant gain for MCA. With victories in both Chennah and Repah, the party successfully returned to the Negeri Sembilan State Assembly for the first time in over a decade.</p>
<p>Although MCA lost the remaining five seats it contested, the two wins are widely seen as symbolic of the party's political revival in the state after years without representation.</p>
<p><strong>DAP Retains Most Seats Despite High-Profile Losses</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7e0f42c402fe75dd6191be553053958d5817c782f3d9251e0456e848857f8f07" /></strong></p>
<p>Despite the headline defeats, DAP remained one of the strongest performing parties in Negeri Sembilan, retaining nine of the 11 seats it contested.</p>
<p>However, losing both Chennah and Repah proved particularly costly, as the party saw two of its long-serving assemblymen unseated. Pakatan Harapan (PH) also saw its overall representation in the state assembly decline compared to the previous election, reducing its majority.</p>
<p>The results prompted DAP leaders to acknowledge the setbacks while pledging to review the party's campaign and reconnect with voters.</p>
<p>DAP deputy chairman Nga Kor Ming described the defeats as a "painful lesson", saying the party would conduct a thorough assessment of its shortcomings while continuing to serve the public and prepare for future elections.</p>
<p><strong>Negeri Sembilan DAP Wants Anthony Loke To Stay</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/1f037818a8c04b15f979a059c4e5afe5ce70b75e91c9982e3f3ca79c1d51ffa9" /></strong></p>
<p>Despite his defeat, support for Anthony Loke within the party remains strong.</p>
<p>Negeri Sembilan DAP unanimously backed Loke to continue serving as the state chairman, rejecting suggestions that he should be blamed for the losses in Chennah and Repah. State secretary Cha Kee Chin said Loke had transformed Negeri Sembilan DAP from a party with only two seats in 2004 into one respected by both allies and political rivals.</p>
<p>The chapter also stressed that Loke's leadership would be crucial in rebuilding the party ahead of the 16th General Election.</p>
<p>Selangor DAP echoed the sentiment, expressing its support for Loke to continue leading both the state chapter and the party nationally. State chairman Ng Sze Han praised Loke for personally contesting a highly competitive seat instead of avoiding the challenge, describing it as an example of responsible leadership.</p>
<p><strong>MCA Eyes Role In New State Government</strong></p>
<p>With MCA once again represented in the Negeri Sembilan State Assembly, both Siow Kong Choon and Koh Kim Swee are expected to be considered for positions in the new state executive council (Exco), marking the party's return to the state administration after 13 years.</p>
<p>MCA president Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong thanked voters for their support and congratulated the party's successful candidates, urging them to represent the people diligently. He also encouraged defeated MCA candidates to continue serving their communities, saying public service should not be defined solely by holding elected office.</p>
<p>While DAP still emerged as one of the election's biggest winners overall, MCA's victories in Chennah and Repah ensured the party returned to the Negeri Sembilan political landscape, making one of the most closely watched comebacks of the state election.</p>

MCA Returns To Negeri Sembilan Assembly After 13 Years As Anthony Loke Suffers Shock Defeat

<p>Formula 1 is finally returning to Sepang this October after nearly a decade away, but turning the one-off event into a permanent fixture on the calendar would require Malaysia to commit at least RM300 million annually, according to Sepang International Circuit (SIC).</p>
<p>While the price tag may seem steep, SIC believes the long-term economic benefits could outweigh the costs. However, with the government prioritising cost-of-living issues and a packed Formula 1 calendar, a permanent return remains far from guaranteed.</p>
<p><strong>RM300 Million Needed Every Year To Host Formula 1</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/29de5a43a2ea204cd52cc01a5e5c1ffd581c28d0aeb3a128a1114b6d79e41b1e" /></strong></p>
<p>SIC Chief Executive Officer Azhan Shafriman Hanif said Malaysia would need to spend no less than RM300 million each year to secure a permanent place on the Formula 1 World Championship calendar.</p>
<p>The figure includes Formula 1 hosting rights, currently estimated at between US$70 million and US$80 million (around RM289 million to RM340 million), alongside the operational and technical costs required to stage a Grand Prix that meets Formula 1 standards.</p>
<p>Despite the sizeable investment, Azhan said data from other host nations shows Formula 1 races often generate returns worth at least three times the amount spent.</p>
<p>Based on those estimates, an annual investment of RM300 million could potentially deliver around RM1 billion in economic returns through tourism, hospitality, spending and other commercial activities.</p>
<p><strong>Two Major Obstacles Stand In Malaysia's Way</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/f964db65787fd0dad2cbbdc2748ebfa16e53412212f49aff48443225dc23e90b" /></strong></p>
<p>According to SIC, bringing Formula 1 back permanently depends on more than just funding.</p>
<p>Azhan explained that Malaysia must first be able to afford the annual hosting rights fees. Even if the financial resources are available, the country would still need to secure an open slot on Formula 1's increasingly crowded race calendar.</p>
<p>Formula 1 has continued expanding globally over the past few years, making available calendar dates increasingly limited as more countries compete to host races.</p>
<p>For now, Azhan acknowledged that the government's immediate priority remains supporting Malaysians through economic challenges and rising living costs rather than committing hundreds of millions of ringgit to a major sporting event.</p>
<p><strong>Bahrain Is Paying The Hosting Fee This Time</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/2129833cfab370af958c43c42b43da099d43a27ae54b7a5e7c94dee68045cef2" /></strong></p>
<p>Unlike a traditional Malaysian Grand Prix, this year's race comes under a unique arrangement.</p>
<p>The Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, taking place at Sepang from 2 to 4 October 2026, will be hosted on behalf of Bahrain after geopolitical tensions forced the race to be relocated.</p>
<p>Under the agreement involving Formula 1, the FIA, and the governments of Malaysia and Bahrain, Bahrain is paying the Formula 1 hosting rights fee, while Malaysia is only responsible for preparing the circuit.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said Malaysia's expenditure is limited to maintaining Sepang International Circuit to Formula 1 standards, costing approximately RM16 million. Separately, SIC has estimated local preparation costs at around RM40 million, covering operational upgrades needed for the event.</p>
<p><strong>Bahrain Will Receive Ticket Revenue</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7cd6652cbb51c83d31d0a3b1093b5ef45fc6cc760216ed763b5d29e708cd7e46" /></strong></p>
<p>While Malaysia is hosting the race, it will not receive the commercial revenue typically associated with a Formula 1 Grand Prix.</p>
<p>Azhan confirmed that Bahrain will receive all proceeds from ticket sales and will also determine ticket prices for the October event.</p>
<p>He said discussions with Bahrain International Circuit are currently focused on operational planning, while negotiations involving ticketing, hospitality packages and official merchandise are expected to continue during upcoming meetings between both parties.</p>
<p>Although many Malaysian fans have called for affordable ticket prices, Azhan admitted the final decision rests with Bahrain.</p>
<p><strong>Fans Left Confused Over Race Schedule</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/67f72032bab6a1bf7ef853257b83df88e65698bc60a222e96305bcf40207bb1d" /></strong></p>
<p>As excitement builds for Formula 1's return to Sepang, many fans have found themselves confused over one important detail &mdash; exactly when the race weekend will take place.</p>
<p>Different platforms have displayed conflicting information, with some Google search results, third-party event listings and even sections of official websites showing varying dates and session timings.</p>
<p>While Formula 1 and SIC have confirmed the event is scheduled for 2 to 4 October 2026, spectators have continued sharing screenshots online highlighting inconsistent schedules across different platforms, leading to uncertainty over practice sessions, qualifying and race timings.</p>
<p>Many fans are now waiting for the final timetable and ticketing details to be officially confirmed before making travel and accommodation arrangements.</p>
<p><strong>One-Off Event Could Shape Formula 1's Future In Malaysia</strong></p>
<p><strong><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/7d466a55bb1437edb857f3a5ffe596437e3707bd8c48f3f3603f3d14ef6ff36e" /></strong></p>
<p>Rather than viewing this year's event as a permanent return, SIC sees it as an opportunity to prove Malaysia can once again host Formula 1 successfully.</p>
<p>Azhan said the experience gained from organising the Bahrain Grand Prix will provide valuable operational and commercial data that could help determine whether a permanent Formula 1 return is financially viable in the future.</p>
<p>Malaysia previously hosted the Malaysian Grand Prix at Sepang from 1999 to 2017, before the race was removed from the Formula 1 calendar due to rising hosting costs and licensing fees.</p>
<p>For now, SIC's priority is ensuring October's race runs smoothly, while any discussion about a long-term return will depend on funding, stakeholder confidence and whether Formula 1 can offer Malaysia a place on its increasingly competitive calendar.</p>

A permanent F1 return sounds exciting, but does it make economic sense?

Malaysia Would Need RM300 Million A Year To Bring Formula 1 Back Permanently

<p>A Malaysian content creator has sparked a major controversy within the global Pok&eacute;mon Trading Card Game (TCG) community after allegedly opening unreleased Pok&eacute;mon cards nearly two months before their official launch &mdash; with some collectors claiming the products may have been obtained through an unauthorised source.</p>
<p>The incident has raised concerns among fans worldwide, with many questioning how the highly anticipated Pok&eacute;mon TCG 30th Anniversary Binder Collection ended up in private hands before reaching official retailers. It has also sparked fears over whether the controversy could affect Malaysia&rsquo;s upcoming role as the first Asian host of Pok&eacute;mon&rsquo;s 30th Anniversary celebrations.</p>

<p><strong>
<script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script>
</strong></p>
<p>The Pok&eacute;mon TCG 30th Anniversary Binder Collection is one of the franchise&rsquo;s most anticipated releases of 2026, with its official global launch scheduled for 16 September 2026.</p>
<p>However, in mid-July, a Malaysian streamer and seller reportedly went live on social media with English-edition boxes of the unreleased collection. Instead of simply showcasing the products, the streamer opened the packs on camera while charging viewers up to RM4,600 per pack to watch the reveals.</p>
<p>The move immediately caught the attention of the international Pok&eacute;mon TCG community, as products at this stage of distribution are typically still under strict control between printing facilities, distributors and authorised retailers.</p>
<p>Many collectors argued that the cards could not have entered circulation through legitimate channels and suspected that the products may have been taken from a printing facility or distribution centre before their official release.</p>
<p>During the livestream, the streamer reportedly claimed that she was not bound by any standard distributor agreement and had obtained the products through a personal connection. However, that claim has since become a major point of scrutiny among collectors.</p>
<p><strong>Mystery Mew Card Divides Global Pok&eacute;mon Community</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/056f04141bb8a89eae58b2b0738ac0cab6ecbeffb7dd0596fa269a697481ecb7" /></strong></p>
<p>The controversy grew further after the livestream revealed a mysterious Mew card that had never been officially announced.</p>
<p>The card reportedly featured the label &ldquo;B/RGB&rdquo; where a normal set number would usually appear, and appeared to pay tribute to the original Pok&eacute;mon Red, Green and Blue Game Boy titles. It was also rumoured to feature artwork by renowned multimedia artist YOSHIROTTEN.</p>
<p>However, the card raised questions among fans as it did not contain several expected details found on the official anniversary collection, including a confirmed set number, official documentation or the Pikachu-shaped 30th Anniversary stamp seen on other cards.</p>
<p>This led to a heated debate within the Pok&eacute;mon TCG community.</p>
<p>Some collectors believe the card could be an extremely sophisticated fake, pointing to the lack of official confirmation and unusual markings. Others argued that the card appeared too advanced to be a simple counterfeit, highlighting its texture, foil patterns and anti-counterfeit elements as possible signs of authenticity.</p>
<p>So far, The Pok&eacute;mon Company International (TPCi) has not confirmed or denied whether the Mew card is genuine, leaving collectors worldwide waiting for an official response.</p>
<p><strong>Potential Legal Issues Over Alleged Pre-Release Products</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/e668a250fe61f38200df77f005035372823a2849f38ed1845c8145f34cbf8a53" /></strong></p>
<p>Beyond the mystery surrounding the cards themselves, collectors have raised concerns over the decision to publicly monetise the opening of unreleased products.</p>
<p>The Pok&eacute;mon franchise has strict controls over pre-release materials, with employees and distribution partners often bound by confidentiality agreements to prevent leaks before official launches.</p>
<p>While the streamer may not have personally signed any agreement with TPCi, opening and profiting from products believed by the community to have been obtained improperly could create serious legal risks.</p>
<p>The Pok&eacute;mon Company International has previously taken action against individuals involved in major leaks and unauthorised releases. Meanwhile, professional grading companies such as PSA, CGC and BGS typically do not certify stolen or unauthorised pre-release items.</p>
<p>This means that even if the cards pulled during the livestream are genuine, their ability to be officially graded, sold or traded could be severely affected.</p>
<p><strong>Malaysia&rsquo;s Pok&eacute;mon 30th Anniversary Hosting Role Under Spotlight</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/22b71b3d17370ecfa718997e477a90be7a4f9ec31bb9a48c24c7ec2113a6be4b" /></strong></p>
<p>The controversy has also raised concerns beyond the actions of one individual, as Malaysia is preparing to host a major Pok&eacute;mon milestone.</p>
<p>Kuala Lumpur was recently announced as the first city in Asia to host the Pok&eacute;mon 30th Anniversary &ldquo;Pok&eacute;Xciting!&rdquo; celebration, taking place on 12 and 13 September 2026.</p>
<p>The celebration is expected to include a Pok&eacute;mon Run, TCG pop-up events, regional fan activities and a 100-day official Pok&eacute;mon Centre pop-up at Ombak KLCC.</p>
<p>For the Malaysian Pok&eacute;mon community, the event represents years of effort in building trust and recognition with TPCi as a growing market for the franchise.</p>
<p>Many local collectors have expressed disappointment over the incident, with some choosing to report the livestream rather than celebrate the early access.</p>
<p>While the controversy currently involves one streamer, fans fear that a supply chain breach linked to Malaysia could affect future collaborations and opportunities with the Pok&eacute;mon franchise.</p>
<p>For now, the global Pok&eacute;mon community remains divided &mdash; waiting for answers on whether the leaked cards are genuine, how they reached Malaysia before release, and what action TPCi may take next.</p>

Malaysian Streamer Sparks Pokémon TCG Controversy After Opening Unreleased Cards Ahead Of Official Launch

<p>BTS once again proved their global star power after stage outfits and accessories worn during the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show raised more than RM1.2 million at a charity auction, accounting for nearly half of the event's total proceeds.</p>
<p>The online auction, titled "One Goal: An Auction to Benefit the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund", was organised by Christie&rsquo;s in partnership with Global Citizen. Running for seven days before concluding on 29 July, the auction attracted bidders from 24 countries and raised a total of US$652,630 (approximately RM2.66 million) to support educational opportunities and access to football for children in underserved communities worldwide.</p>
<p><strong>Jimin's Shirt Becomes The Auction's Top-Selling Item</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="https://r2.myc.my/73219534372b21ac05f9de384befbfb60d00df5f5224cb36b78af43350381f2b" />&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>Leading the auction was the custom shirt worn by Jimin during BTS' performance of <em>Dynamite</em> at the World Cup Final halftime show. The piece sold for an impressive US$110,000 (around RM450,000), far exceeding Christie's pre-auction estimate of US$3,000 to US$5,000.</p>
<p>Remarkably, Jimin's shirt matched the final selling price of the official FIFA World Cup Final match ball, making them the joint highest-selling items of the entire auction.</p>
<p><strong>Every BTS Item Surpasses Expectations</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/5597f623ddb1076aa211e12e613da113d487a748ffca97cdaa94268576b3cce7" /></strong></p>
<p>Every item worn by the seven BTS members attracted bids well above their estimated values, highlighting the group's immense worldwide appeal.</p>
<p>The final auction prices were:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Jimin's shirt</strong> &ndash; US$110,000 (RM450,000)</li>
<li><strong>V's scarf</strong> &ndash; US$46,200 (RM189,000)</li>
<li><strong>Jungkook's jacket</strong> &ndash; US$46,200 (RM189,000)</li>
<li><strong>Suga's trousers</strong> &ndash; US$33,000 (RM134,000)</li>
<li><strong>J-Hope's gloves</strong> &ndash; US$28,600 (RM117,000)</li>
<li><strong>RM's boots</strong> &ndash; US$19,800 (RM80,800)</li>
<li><strong>Jin's belt</strong> &ndash; US$16,500 (RM67,400)</li>
</ul>
<p>Collectively, the seven items raised US$300,300 (approximately RM1.23 million), contributing around 46% of the auction's total proceeds.</p>
<p><strong>Other Memorabilia Also Draw Strong Bids</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/f5396d97170b2cc047f458562b2210bb1caff7e323407ee9b6c9efd05ab18404" /></strong></p>
<p>While BTS dominated the auction, several other pieces of memorabilia also attracted significant attention from collectors.</p>
<p>An Argentina jersey signed by Lionel Messi sold for US$66,000 (approximately RM269,000), while the official World Cup Final match ball matched Jimin's shirt with a winning bid of US$110,000.</p>
<p>Elsewhere, Madonna's signed fingerless gloves from the halftime show's opening performance fetched US$41,800 (around RM171,000), while Justin Bieber's custom SKYLRK sneakers worn during his acoustic performance sold for US$26,400 (approximately RM108,000). Bieber's fashion label also pledged to match the auction price in full, doubling the donation generated from the shoes.</p>
<p>Other auctioned memorabilia included items from Shakira, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, and several exclusive World Cup collectibles.</p>
<p><strong>Supporting Children Through Football And Education</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/a45d0767ffeba14c60dd6736c2d59983d8592e3b3c5eaff4c6aa8c487349f5c5" /></strong></p>
<p>Every dollar raised from the auction will go towards the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, a global initiative aiming to raise US$100 million to improve access to quality education and football opportunities for children in underserved communities around the world.</p>
<p>Commenting on the success of the event, Julien Pradels, President of Christie's Americas, described the auction as a victory beyond football.</p>
<p>"This is a wonderful win for an important cause. Competition in our auction was as global and fierce as it was on the World Cup soccer pitch."</p>
<p>The auction demonstrated not only the enduring influence of BTS, but also how the group's worldwide fanbase can drive meaningful support for charitable initiatives. With nearly half of the total funds raised coming from just seven BTS-worn items, the event highlighted the extraordinary demand for memorabilia associated with the K-pop superstars while contributing to a cause that will benefit children across the globe.</p>
