Kelly Chen reveals she once considered retiring from music after marriage
Kelly Chen is currently on her Kelly Season 2 World Tour. Photo: Kelly Chen/Instagram Hong Kong singer-actress Kelly Chen is currently on her Kelly Season 2 World Tour. On July 11, the pop diva launched her highly anticipated 10-night live in Hong Kong concert series, boasting eight costume changes and nostalgic hit numbers. Sin Chew reported that during her July 15 show at the Hong Kong Coliseum, the Cantopop star played a clip from her 2008 performance – where she had famously announced her marriage on stage. Reflecting on that moment, Chen shared with the crowd: 'At that time, when I was getting married, I thought I'd quit the industry. Who knew it wasn't necessary…' The 52-year-old went on to express heartfelt gratitude to her fans for supporting her through every stage of life. In the 2008 video, she had asked the audience if they'd still come watch her perform even though she's married and has children. Thankfully for her fans, Chen has continued to perform – and she still looks and sounds amazing. However, she acknowledged that change is inevitable, and that she'll need to adapt her performances as she gets older. 'I think by then I will leave the dancing to all of you,' she said with a laugh, imagining what her shows might be like in 10 years. Chen married her long-time boyfriend, businessman Alex Lau, on Oct 2, 2008. The couple now has two children. View this post on Instagram A post shared by· 陳 慧 琳 (@kellychenwailam)

Question about life drives singer to tears
Compiled by FAZLEENA AZIZ, C. ARUNO and R. ARAVINTHAN SINGER Hafiz Suip could not hold back his tears when asked by fans whether he was happy with his current life, Berita Harian reported. The 35-year-old cried when the question was asked in a video sharing titled Episode 1 Behind Me – Hafiz Suip on Instagram on July 19. 'I am grateful for His blessings. I am happy and trying to make peace with life. 'I don't want to play the blame game; that's what will complicate things. So, when you have acceptance, you will find happiness,' he said while wiping away tears. On Friday, Hafiz uploaded a photo accompanied by the date 1.11.2025, signalling that there will be a special performance or concert. In the same video post, Hafiz, a two-time Anugerah Juara Lagu winner, said he has not put an end to his singing career. 'This is all that I have. With the support of my fans, I will still be in this industry,' he said. He also admitted that being away from his children, as well as the negative comments from the public, was the saddest time of his life. Earlier this year, Hafiz admitted that his nine-year marriage with Nureffy Jasreel Abdullah became rocky. The couple are said to no longer live together and are in the process of divorce. > The Negri Sembilan Wildlife and National Parks Department is monitoring two locations in Kuala Pilah and Jelebu after a tapir was captured on video, Sinar Harian reported. Its director Faizal Izham Pikri said there were no forest reserves near the two locations, but the presence of bushland gave the tapir room to move. He said regular monitoring was carried out to ensure the safety of residents and wildlife. On Friday, two separate photos and videos of wild tapirs shared by social media users went viral. So far, the department has received six complaints regarding tapirs roaming around and damaging crops in the area, he said. The above articles are compiled from the vernacular newspapers (Bahasa Malaysia, Chinese and Tamil dailies). As such, stories are grouped according to the respective language/medium.

One for the young minds: Malaysians' bright stars show vibrant potential in creative talent and IP ecosystem competition
KUALA LUMPUR: The 'Biji Buddy Bash' design competition, jointly organized by local animation studio Hide & Seeds Production, DASEIN Academy of Art, and Malaysia's creative talent platform Rtist Malaysia, successfully concluded recently. A total of 18 young participants were awarded RM55,000 in prizes, showcasing Malaysia's vibrant potential in original intellectual property (IP) development. Co-organised by Hide & Seeds and DASEIN Academy of Art, the 'Golden Brush Award: Biji Mascot Design Competition' offered RM50,000 worth of scholarships to 11 outstanding participants. The champion of the competition was Jasmine Khoo Xiang Xin, who received a cash prize of RM12,000. The first runner-up, Chong Hui Qi, won RM8,000, while the second runner-up, Jaylene Lee Em Chyi, received RM6,000. In addition, eight consolation prize winners each received RM3,000. Meanwhile, the 'BIJI Buddy Bash: IP Character Poster Design Contest,' jointly organized by Hide & Seeds and Rtist Malaysia, awarded its grand prize to Intan Syahiraaisha Samsuddin. She received RM3,000 in cash, a certificate, a Biji plushie, and the opportunity for her character to appear in the final Biji animation, as well as a chance to join Hide & Seeds' production process. Four other winners – Lim Shi Jian, Isaac Choong Junn Liang, Edward Low Sew Yin, and Chin Suk Hui – each received RM500 in cash, a certificate, and a Biji plushie. Special Recognition awards went to Hayfa Azalea Fythullah and Ahmad Hasbullah Bin Ahmad Munir, who received Biji plushies and certificates for 'Youth Creator' and 'Fan Favorite' respectively. According to Hide & Seeds Director Kin Lek, the theme 'Biji' was inspired by the Dipterocarpus tree (Pokok Keruing), a tropical species indigenous to Malaysia, which covers 70% of the country's rainforests. Its seed, when ripe, spins like a helicopter seed as it falls – a powerful symbol of potential and renewal. 'With 'Biji,' we aim to empower the local creative community and provide fertile ground for nurturing original IP,' said Kin Lek. Supported by the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), the team upheld its social mission to give back to the community, encouraging self-discovery, collaboration, and community engagement, while contributing to long-term transformation in education, IP licensing, sustainability, and entertainment. 'We hope to attract more resources and investors to grow the 'Biji' brand into an internationally recognized Malaysian IP, like Taiwan's Bugcat Capoo or China's Doora Bear,' Kin Lek added. As one of the highlight events, the organisers hosted a creative summit titled 'Build Your IP Character,' featuring renowned artist Michael Chuah, who delivered a keynote on crafting emotional and impactful characters. JT Yean, co-founder of Weyrdworks Studio, spoke on 'How Creators Survive,' offering practical insight into sustaining a career in the fast-paced creative industry. 'I hope these sessions help participants understand how pioneers develop IPs and learn the art of balancing creativity and practicality,' Kin Lek concluded. For the record, this contest showcased the harmony between Biji and Malaysia's natural beauty and biodiversity. Judging criteria included creativity, artistic originality, and coloring quality. The first phase (April 14 – June 8, 2025) focused on coloring a 2D Biji mascot; the second phase (held June 14) challenged finalists to color a blank 3D model on-site under time constraints. As for the "BIJI Buddy Bash: IP Character Poster Design Contest," participants were asked to create a poster featuring their original IP character interacting with Biji or Kotak, envisioning a potential animated story world. The top 25 finalists submitted 5–10 minute videos explaining their characters, storylines, and creative ideas. Final judging was based on 70% jury evaluation and 30% public voting.
