Seems like the MTV Asia Awards will be back to Malaysia again in 2009, according to Korean pop mogul JYP that is.
No official confirmation has been made by MTV Asia yet, but JYP lets his words slipped with his recent Tweet…
“Sorry cuz of the Jonas Brothers tour we can’t go to da MTV asian awards in Malaysia. But I’m sending 2pm so don’t b too sad!”
The ‘we’ is referring to JYP’s favourite employees, the Wonder Girls, who are busy working as opening act for Jonas Brothers’ tour in USA; and as replacement his company is sending boy band 2PM to the award ceremony instead.
Funny thing is the public didn’t know that MAA will be held in Malaysia again, or if it would be held at all in 2009… and we certainly didn’t know that the Wonder Girls were scheduled to come at the first place.
Singaporean actress Fann Wong and Malaysia-born actor Christopher Lee are getting married after more than six-years into relationship.
The couple will register their marriage on May 16th and hold their wedding ceremony in September in Singapore, followed by a wedding dinner in Malaysia in October.
Congratulations to Christopher and Fann, best wishes.
Magazine scan of Japanese voice actress Aya Hirano, about her photoshoot in Malaysia last December which created quite a buzz among Malaysian netizens.
The photos (or probably in videos) are included in Hirano’s “I Love You” DVD which was released in March 2009… [image via Sushipafu]
Malay movie trailer of “Geng: Pengembaraan Bermula” (lit. Gang: Adventures Begin), Malaysia’s 1st 3D animated film which began screening on February 12th…
Got a tip from reader CL about the film; haven’t watch it, but the trailer seems promising… can’t say anything about the content, the artwork itself is surprisingly good though. Probably not Hollywood material yet, but it’s a giant leap for the country’s animation industry which was in its infant stage.
Kudos to Les’ Copaque Production and the crew, keep it up.
Chinese music video of “Belong” (属於 – Shu Yu) by Malaysian singer Fish Leong; it’s the theme song for Taiwanese drama “I Do?”, starring Blue Lan and Annie Liu. A nice song, but very plain music video…
Barbadian R&B star Rihanna has promised to cover up for her Kuala Lumpur concert on February 13th to adhere to the Malaysian on-stage dress code, of which a female performer must be covered from shoulders to knees.
Taking lesson from last year’s Avril Lavigne’s concert which was almost cancelled because her show was deemed too sexy for Malaysian culture (and the fact that Avril is like an angel to Rihanna’s sexiness), the organiser of Rihanna’s concert is fast to act on the issue before the protests from conservative religious groups could heat up.
Rihanna’s KL concert, which is part of the Good Girl Gone Bad world tour, will be held at Putra Stadium, Bukit Jalil, on Feb 13. Refer to the above poster for ticketing details.
Update – The concert is postponed following reports that she was assaulted by her boyfriend Chris Brown.
Malaysian otakus had made an epic hunt on New Year Eve for Japanese star Aya Hirano when it was discovered that the popular seiyu (voice actress) was in Kuala Lumpur for some filming and photo-shooting.
The news was broke loose by a blogger and passed on to various forums, including the popular LYN which prompted the hectic ‘hunt’ for her where-about via the photos she posted on her online diary.
While most of the forum comments were made for the lulz; some of the folks seemed to take the manhunt a bit too seriously… regardless, the search ended hours later when it was found out that Hirano was already back to Japan when the search party was started… lol, an epic fail which provides the final bit of 2008 entertainment for Malaysian netizens.
On side note, that’s a really cute picture of Aya Hirano in a traditional Malay costume. Forget about bikinis… do more traditional stuff instead :)
Michael Wong, better known as Guang Liang, is a Malaysian singer-songwriter who enjoys great popularity in Chinese community around the world.
Michael made his debut in 1995 with Victor Wong as a duo group and became popular pretty soon across Asia. The duo broke up in 2000 to pursue their solo career; and it didn’t take long for Michael to re-establish himself as one of the top Chinese artists.

“First Time” (第一次) was a hit song in Michael’s solo debut album “Michael’s First Album”… all the songs below are written by Michael. The lyrics for First Time is by Zhang Tian Cheng; MV actress is Hsiao Shu Shen, a top Taiwanese model back then…
