Malaysian Downs 978 Cups Of CHAGEE In 30 Days To Win Travel Voucher
Subscribe to our FREE In what might be the most caffeinated quest for free vacation ever documented, a Malaysian man has shocked the internet. He consumed 978 cups of bubble tea in just 30 days – all to win a travel voucher worth RM15,999. The epic tea marathon unfolded during CHAGEE's cup challenge promotion, which ran from 18 June to 18 July. The rules were simple: whoever bought the most cups would win the grand prize. What nobody expected was for someone to take it this seriously. The Numbers Don't Lie (But They're Hard to Believe) Let's break down the math that's got everyone talking. This bubble tea champion – identified only as 'Leo' on the leaderboard – managed to average 32.6 cups per day. That's one cup every 45 minutes, around the clock, for an entire month. Using CHAGEE's cheapest menu item at RM11.90 per cup, Leo dropped at least RM11,648.20 to win a prize worth RM15,999 potentially. Even accounting for bulk discounts or promotions, we're talking about a serious financial commitment to liquid sugar and tapioca pearls. The Internet Has Questions Social media exploded with reactions ranging from impressed to concerned. 'Are his feet still okay?' asked one worried commenter, while another joked, 'I'm afraid I'll win but won't have feet left to travel abroad.' Others speculated about the logistics: Was this a corporate bulk purchase? A group effort among friends? A party planning gone wild? The mystery deepened when people realised the sheer physical impossibility of one person actually drinking that much tea. The leaderboard shows Leo claiming the top spot with 978 cups, followed by 'CHA' with 735 cups and 'Faz' with 557 cups. The competition was clearly fierce, but Leo's commitment was in a league of its own. By the Book, But Beyond Belief According to CHAGEE's terms and conditions, the competition was straightforward: rankings were 'based on the total number of qualifying cups purchased via the Only paid orders through the official app counted – no freebies, no discounts with zero payment, and cancelled orders were voided. Even 100th place required a minimum of 37 cups to qualify for seven free regular milk teas, showing that this wasn't just about one obsessed individual, but a genuinely competitive field. What makes this story remarkable isn't that someone bent the rules – it's that they didn't need to. CHAGEE's official promotion created the perfect storm: a valuable grand prize, transparent leaderboard tracking, and no purchase limits. Leo simply took the challenge more seriously than anyone anticipated. The promotion has since ended, and Leo presumably has his travel voucher. His current tea consumption levels remain unknown.

Kenny Bee, Eric Tsang distance themselves from Namewee after taking group photo
Namewee (in dark glasses) in a now-deleted photo of himself with Kenny Bee (first from right) and Eric Tsang (second from left). Photo: Namewee/Threads Hong Kong singer Kenny Bee and Hong Kong actor Eric Tsang have swiftly distanced themselves from controversial Malaysian rapper-actor Namewee after a group photo of them was criticised by netizens. Bee and Tsang, both 72, were recently in Malaysia as part of the line-up of Hong Kong stars performing at the Wow! Super! Happy 30 Years concert at Resorts World Genting on July 19. Namewee, 42, took a photo with the pair before the show and posted it on social media on July 19, writing: 'Wishing you a successful performance tonight.' The photo of the trio together made waves on social media, with several netizens slamming Bee and Tsang for being associated with Namewee, whose full name is Wee Meng Chee. The hip-hop artiste has been blacklisted in China since the release of his satirical single Fragile in 2021. The track was said to be full of barbed references to Chinese President Xi Jinping and China-related issues, such as the political status of Taiwan and censorship in China. Bee, the lead vocalist of pop group The Wynners, took to Chinese social media platform Weibo on July 20, sharing a photo of himself with a statement. 'As a Chinese citizen, I have shown patriotism through concrete actions and firmly upheld the dignity of the country and national sentiment,' he wrote in Chinese. 'Recently, during an event in Genting, Malaysia, I took a photo with a certain person without noticing that it caused a misunderstanding.' Bee explained it was purely a courtesy interaction on a public occasion, and he was unaware of his background or past words and deeds. Without naming Namewee in the post, Bee said: 'If I had known his position earlier, I would never have had any contact with him. This incident was an unintentional mistake and does not mean that I agree with his views.' Tsang, the host of Hong Kong variety series Super Trio (1995 to present) also posted a similar statement on Weibo on July 21, adding: 'Once again, I express my deepest apologies to everyone.' Namewee has deleted the photo with Bee and Tsang from his social media accounts. In a now-deleted statement on Facebook, Namewee wrote in Chinese: 'In order not to affect the peace and stability of the 'motherland' as well as the safety of our comrades in Hong Kong in the Greater Bay Area, we have removed the previous post and photos.' – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
