M'sian company awards sleepy staff & MC champs—netizens can't stop laughing
In a now-viral TikTok clip, the company's annual celebration took a humorous twist by giving out cheeky awards that had staff and netizens in stitches.
Among the categories? 'Anugerah Staf Paling Banyak MC' (Staff with the Most MCs) and 'Anugerah Staf Paling Kuat Tidur' (Staff Who Sleeps the Most).
Rather than spotlighting only the overachievers, the event celebrated the quirks of office life that many employees can relate to—with trophies handed out to those who frequently called in sick or were often caught dozing off.
The unorthodox awards quickly made rounds on social media, with amused netizens saying they wouldn't mind working at a place that rewards napping.
Some joked that they might finally have a shot at winning something at their own office dinners.
'This 'outstanding employee' award is just for fun to liven up the event.. kudos to the company and the bosses for being so sporting,' one user called Personal Financial Advisor commented.
'Good thing they showed up—if they had taken MC too, who would've accepted the award?' Seketul Nuar joked.

The event drew 2,500 participants across three categories — 10km, 5km, and 3km — all proudly donning sarongs, turning the traditional attire into a symbol of unity, identity, and Malaysian pride. Along the route, runners were treated to cultural checkpoints featuring Dragon and Lion Dance, Gendang Fusion, and traditional performances representing diverse ethnic groups from Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia. State Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Minister, Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, flagged off the run on behalf of Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg. In a brief speech, Abdul Karim said the event celebrated Sarawak's rich heritage while promoting community engagement and healthy living. 'This event showcases how our traditions can be celebrated in dynamic ways, uniting people of all backgrounds,' he said. In a statement, the organisers described MSMR 2025 as a cultural fun run — a collaboration between Malaysia Marathon, the federal Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, the Sarawak Ministry of Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts, and cultural movement organiser Locco. Locco, known for the iconic Keretapi Sarong movement, brought its signature festive atmosphere, creating an immersive experience enjoyed by participants of all ages. Beyond the run, the event featured a mini carnival with Sarawakian art, creative vendors, family zones, and performances by local talents — turning the day into a full-fledged community celebration. MSMR 2025 was supported by various partners including Tourism Malaysia in conjunction with Visit Malaysia 2026, corporate sponsors, and a range of official and technical partners.

Sabah teen wins top prize at Young Creator Fellowship 2025
A hard-hitting five-minute short film that shows the Sabah state government under a critical lens won first place at the 2025 Young Creator Fellowship programme yesterday. The film, by 19-year-old Duncan Cheng Kai Guan from Sabah, clinched the top spot in the programme that was co-organised by Malaysiakini and the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (Unesco). His film, 'How the Sabah State Government Suppresses Protests', documents how state authorities clamped down on anti-corruption demonstrations led by university students in Sabah. Malaysiakini English news editor Zikri Kamarulzaman, who was one of the judges, commended the film for its timeliness and thorough research. 'The presentation is solid technically and in terms of the content. There are professionals out there who don't do work half as good as this. Well done.' Second place went to Noor Ainun Jariah, 24, for her short film, 'The Yasmin Effect: A Digital Changemaker's Story,' which follows career counsellor Sharifah Hani Yasmin as she sets up One Step Closer (OSC) during the pandemic to provide free employment counselling for the jobless. The three winners of the 2025 Young Creator Fellowship Ian Yee, co-founder of independent media outlet The Fourth and a member of the judging panel, said: 'The legwork that went into this project is impressive. The director didn't just make it a personality piece, but also explored other themes, such as unpaid care work, which many women in Malaysia have to undertake, demonstrating a good journalistic sense. 'The creator can improve in terms of camera angles for the interviews and graphics work. There was also too much stock footage for my liking.' Third place was awarded to Nor Alya Khairina Mustafa Anuar, 24, from Penang for her film, 'From Langkawi to Baku', which follows a primary school teacher in Langkawi who advocates for climate education by instilling environmental awareness in her students. The following finalists received consolation prizes for their submissions: Daneyaa Ganesan - 'Voices of Change: Nadine Azman on Feminism, Voting, and Activism' Gareth Woo Yun Hao - 'How One Malaysian Youth Pivoted from Law to Combat Racism' Najwa Farhana Binti Yahya - 'No Child Left Behind - Voices of Champions for Forgotten Classrooms' Nur Hidayahtul Aisyah - 'The Unfinished Painting (Lukisan Yang Tidak Siap)' Nurfatihah Irdina Adlan - 'A Story of Upcycled Fashion Artisans in Malaysia' Poongkodi Rabichandran - 'Stray Guardians: A Malaysian Couple's Shelter of Hope' Telford Engan Tan - 'Sape - A Beacon of Unity' The Australian High Commission, Monash University Malaysia, and Hawana - the National Journalist Day initiative by the Communications Ministry - also supported the inaugural Young Creator Fellowship programme. Australian High Commissioner to Malaysia, Danielle Heinecke 'Democracy and the role of media are really important to our Australian identity and our way of life, and to make sure that we have a really strong democracy where transparency is key. 'We want to share our common story about democracy and its evolution with Malaysia, and that's one of the reasons we work really closely with the media, including this year, which is our 70th year of diplomatic relations,' said Australian High Commissioner to Malaysia, Danielle Heinecke. The Young Creator Fellowship 2025 consisted of two phases. On June 15 and 29, 30 selected participants took part in two days of online journalism training and submitted short film proposals centred on the theme 'Changemakers'. Ten were shortlisted for the next stage. The finalists received mentorship from four trainers and were given two weeks to complete their short films. They then joined a fully funded residency held in Kuala Lumpur from July 16 to 18. During the residency, participants engaged with media professionals, visited leading Malaysian news outlets, including Media Prima, RTM, Astro Awani, and Bernama, and presented their work during a final screening and awards ceremony hosted at Monash University Malaysia.

Indonesian superstars Tulus and Juicy Luicy to headline the much-anticipated inaugural Ruang Inspirasi Festival in KL
Set the date August 17 on your calendar. This is when the inaugural Ruang Inspirasi Festival (RIF) led by Indonesian superstar acts Tulus and Juicy Luicy makes its debut at the Mega Star Arena in Kuala Lumpur. The much-anticipated music festival, organised by IndoExpo in collaboration with ticketing partner BBO Events, promises a different and fresh experience for festival-goers in the country and also the South-East Asian region on the whole. RIF KL 2025 will spotlight the two major Indonesian acts in back-to-back showcases on the same day — chart-topping jazz-pop singer-songwriter Tulus and alternative pop-rock band Juicy Luicy. The festival is split into two sessions: Tulus takes the stage in the afternoon slot at 1.30pm, while Juicy Luicy headlines the evening session at 7.30pm. In a media statement to the Malaysian media, IndoExpo has promised fans, especially the younger generation, will be treated to a happening, inspiring, and emotional festival experience through the RIF. According to IndoExpo, the unusual two-act format is also a special step to offer fans something different. The organisers added that the RIF is a music show featuring the most awaited musicians by fans in Kuala Lumpur, and hence the decision to bring in Juicy Luicy and Tulus. "Both Juicy Luicy are Tulus have a big following here and many of their fans have been clamouring for these acts to have concerts here. It was just an easy decision to bring down both the acts said to be the tops in their line in the Nusantara region," said IndoExpo. Confident of a good turnout at the arena, the organisers also said that they have plans to expand RIF beyond Kuala Lumpur, with hopes to stage multiple showcases annually across various Malaysian cities and also in countries like Indonesia and Singapore. "This will come in the future. We have big plans for this festival in the near future," said IndoExpo. "RIF brings a fresh concept that combines musical performances with elements of inspiration and sharing the stories behind the popular works of the artists involved. "This festival is not just an ordinary concert, but rather a platform to instill positive spirit and inspiration through music." As for the bands, both Juicy Luicy and Tules are very well known in the local scene and Malaysian fans. Juicy Luicy is famous for their hit songs such as 'Lantas', 'Lampu Kuning', 'Sialan', and many more. They have also been mentioned by many top music writers to currently be the foremost R&B group in the Nusantara region. The alternative band is led by Uan (vocals), Denis (guitar), Bina (bass), and Zamzam (saxophone) and is well-known for blending jazzy textures with infectious melodies. The band last performed in Malaysia in November 2023 and that time the concert was sold out when they performed at Zepp KL during Malam Galau Kuala Lumpur. As for Muhammad Tulus, better known by his mononym Tulus, is an Indonesian singer and songwriter of Minangkabau descent. His debut album "Tulus", was released in 2011. Rolling Stone Indonesia put this album on the top chart of Indonesia's Best Album and awarded Tulus Rookie of the Year in 2013. His second album, "Gajah", was released in 2013. Since then, 88,000 copies have been produced and distributed, making it one of the largest CD productions in Indonesia (2014 - 2015). It was the only music album in the Indonesian language that was listed in The Top 10 Best Selling Music Albums in iTunes Asia, two months in a row after it was released. In 2016, his third studio album Monokrom was officially released on August 3, by his own label Tulus Co. It was also released under CD to 100 Indonesian music stores and also released digitally in Malaysia. He then released his recent album "Manusia" in 2022. As for the tickets for RIF, tickets are available via Bundle packages (both sessions) are priced between RM268 and RM1,028. Individual session tickets are also available: Tulus (afternoon Session): at RM198 to RM758 and Juicy Luicy (evening session): RM128 to RM528 For the festival updates and latest news, fans can 'like' dan 'follow' the development at Instagram dan TikTok @
