Feature: From toys to milk tea, Chinese brands widen market share in Malaysia
by Jonathan Edward, Wang Jiawei, Cheng Yiheng KUALA LUMPUR, June 30 (Xinhua) -- Chinese brands continue to widen their share of the consumer market in Malaysia, with strong and growing demand for a range of products from milk tea to designer toys. Just a brief walk around the capital Kuala Lumpur, one can easily spot outlets of China's beverage giant Mixue, milk tea chain CHAGEE, and Luckin Coffee -- a leading Chinese coffee brand. Cherishing food and beverages, Malaysians have flocked to these chains and flooded local social media channels with glowing reviews. Meanwhile, other items, such as Pop Mart -- a popular Chinese toy company known for its blind box collectibles, particularly the Labubu character -- are also rapidly gaining ground. Besides the ubiquitous presence of Chinese-developed smartphones and other consumer electronics, these collectibles have become a global sensation, highlighting the strong competitiveness of Chinese-developed intellectual property (IP) in the open market, while also showcasing culture and creativity. A GROWING CULTURAL PHENOMENON At Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, a major shopping center in the bustling tourist district in Bukit Bintang, signs indicate that the latest Labubu figurines are completely sold out, highlighting the surging popularity of Chinese cultural products in Malaysia and the enthusiasm they're generating among local youth. Among those visiting was Chong Man Hen, who had come especially to Kuala Lumpur to visit the store as he is an enthusiastic collector of figurines that combine traditional designs with a modern look. "I tend to collect products with traditional Chinese-style designs," he told Xinhua. "What makes these Chinese designer toys special is that they help bridge the gap between us and traditional Chinese aesthetics -- it gives a quick idea of what the character is about. Plus, being mini figures, they're especially appealing to me." "People around the world can be exposed to Chinese history and culture through (these products), and it's an easy way to understand more. When brands come in, like the traditional-style CHAGEE, I'm happy to try their products and it's nice that we don't have to go all the way to China to experience them. We can enjoy the same things here in Malaysia," he said. Inside a nearby CHAGEE outlet, a group of young girls were placing drink orders on their phones, while unboxing blind boxes from Pop Mart. Their anticipation of finding a rare edition spoke volumes about the emotional connection these collectibles have sparked. Scenes like this -- pairing Chinese-style beverages with trendy cultural goods -- have become increasingly common across Kuala Lumpur. UNIQUE PRODUCTS WITH A WIDE APPEAL These cultural products are also contributing to the local economy, drawing interest not just from Malaysians but also international visitors. Esther Yong, a university student and avid collector, noted that people from countries without access to Pop Mart are now traveling to Malaysia just to get their hands on the figurines. "I think (Chinese products) help Malaysia's economy," she said. "I've seen quite a few foreigners come to Malaysia to buy Pop Mart (products) -- some even take entire boxes home. I think it's beneficial for the economy." Esther also suggested that the retailer expand its product line to appeal to the interests of collectors like herself. "Chinese cultural elements are definitely a plus point for me ... Personally, I really like ancient Chinese elements, like the traditional costumes in Empresses in the Palace. If a series with that kind of style were released, I'd love it," she said. Meanwhile, Sharon Mendoza, a tourist from Mexico, said that she had first encountered the figurines in Pop Mart while visiting China and has kept an eye out for them on her subsequent travels. "There is no such brand in Mexico ... If there was a Pop Mart store, I would visit there like every weekend," she said with a laugh. "Everywhere I know there is a Pop Mart store, I would like to go, because I like to gift these toys to my family and my friends." The rise of Chinese brands in Malaysia is more than a commercial trend, but part of a broader cultural shift. Whether through designer toys, food and beverage chains, or cinematic experiences like animated films, China's creative industries are finding resonance among global audiences. "We're seeing the growing power of Chinese IPs," said a local cultural analyst. "More importantly, we're seeing how Chinese culture is being reimagined, localized, and embraced by new audiences around the world."

MCMC to summon TikTok over concerns about 'Player Knockout Battle' trend
BUKIT MERTAJAM: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has been directed to summon TikTok to provide an explanation about the latest trend, "Player Knockout Battle" or "PK Battle," which is causing growing concern among parents. The trend of young children participating in such online challenges is worrying and has prompted the government to consider banning social media for those under 13. "They are too young to understand the impact of such trends," a representative stated. PK Battle is a live-streaming feature on TikTok where two users compete in real time to receive virtual gifts from viewers, which are then converted into cash rewards. Critics argue that the trend has become a form of digital gambling, with increasing concerns over children misusing money, sometimes even their parents' money, to buy these gifts in a bid to gain popularity. Fahmi noted that there was a media report highlighting parental concerns about the money their children are spending just to purchase gifts for these PK Battles. "This has become a serious issue reported by the media, and we are treating it with utmost concern. Since TikTok is a licensed platform, they are required to come forward, explain the situation, and outline the steps they will take to address the matter," he said. He also emphasised that this is one of the reasons why the government, particularly the Ministry of Communications, strongly advocates that children under 13 should not have TikTok, Instagram, or other social media accounts. He stressed that it is very easy for children to get caught up in trends like PK Battle without truly understanding the consequences. "We are expecting a prompt explanation from TikTok, and a directive has been issued this morning. I anticipate that they will meet us sometime this week," he added.

#SHOWBIZ: US influencer Tanner Martin announces his own death before passing away at 30
NEW YORK: American influencer Tanner Martin recently passed away at the age of 30 after a prolonged battle with colon cancer. The news of his death was shared in a pre-recorded farewell video, posted on Wednesday by his wife, Shay Martin, on Instagram and TikTok, according to the New York Times. In the emotional video, the Utah-based Tanner announced his own passing, beginning with the poignant words: "Hey, it's me, Tanner. If you're watching this, I am dead." He explained that he recorded the message before his final moments so his wife wouldn't have to bear the burden of announcing his death while grieving. For several years, Tanner and Shay had garnered hundreds of thousands of followers by openly sharing his cancer journey, which included rounds of chemotherapy and radiation, multiple major surgeries, and even a visit to his future gravesite. His death came just weeks after the birth of his daughter, AmyLou, conceived after the couple chronicled their in vitro fertilisation journey. Reflecting on his life, Tanner said with a smile, "I had a heck of a life. Life was awesome. I really enjoyed it while I was here." In the video, Tanner urged his followers to pray for his family, specifically mentioning, "Please pray for Wright and our little baby girl." He also used the affectionate nickname "Jiaozi" for AmyLou, which means "dumpling" in Mandarin, a nickname born from their first ultrasound. In another pre-recorded video, Tanner revealed he did not have life insurance. As his final wish, he requested his followers to support his family by contributing to a GoFundMe campaign set up for his wife and daughter. "If you feel like helping out, it would mean the world to us," he said. Shay shared the farewell video with the caption, "May the force be with you from our angel force ghost. See the next video for his wish."
