Dolla members show love as Malaysia's first female K-pop idol Lingling and fellow KIIRAS members join viral ‘MWA!' dance challenge (VIDEO)
KIIRAS members Lingling, Kylie and Roah uploaded a video on Instagram, TikTok, X and YouTube yesterday, performing the choreography to Dolla's hit comeback single, MWA!.
'LOVEEE! Support Lingling,' wrote Dolla member Angel on X along with a Malaysian flag emoji, reposting the video alongside fellow member Tabby.
Lingling, Malaysia's first female K-pop idol hailing from Klang, joined two of her KIIRAS groupmates for the challenge.
The video quickly gained traction online with over 67,300 views and rising at the time of writing.
Fans on social media expressed excitement over the crossover, with several highlighting the Malaysian connection between Lingling and Dolla.
Comments like 'MAKA KAMI RAKYAT MALAYSIA' and 'MENYALAHHH ORANG KLANGGG' appeared across X, referencing both the idols' heritage and energy.
Fans also called for a collaboration between the two groups, with one user tweeting, 'Okeii KIIRAS x DOLLA crumbssss??'
Fans also took to social media to make requests directly to Dolla, with one user tagging Dolla members Angel, Tabby and the official group account @dollaofficialMY in a post asking, 'KILL MA BOSS challenge please?'
Kill Ma Bo$$ is KIIRAS' debut track, featuring a confident, country-western concept with bold visuals and strong choreography, marking a departure from their pre-debut image and positioning the group as a rising force in the K-pop scene.
Dolla, formed in Malaysia in 2019, has been making waves in the regional music scene with its blend of pop, R&B and powerful visuals, with MWA! being their latest release.
KIIRAS, which debuted earlier this year with multinational members, has gained attention — especially Lingling, who is breaking new ground as a Malaysian talent in K-pop.

Two Malaysian bars in Asia's 50 Best Bars 2025 extended 51-100 list: Backdoor Bodega ranks No. 64, Coley No. 92
KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 — Two Malaysian bars have been included in the 2025 edition of Asia's 50 Best Bars' extended 51-100 list: Coley in Kuala Lumpur comes in at No. 92, continuing its streak of being named on the list every year since debuting at No. 46 in 2018, while Backdoor Bodega in Penang returns at No. 64, after first making the list at No. 97 in 2022. A veteran of both the list and Malaysia's cocktail bar scene, Coley recently marked its 9th anniversary with a month-long celebration featuring numerous guest shifts. Founded by CK Kho, the bar is named in tribute to Ada 'Coley' Coleman, the Savoy's iconic inventor of the hanky panky, a classic cocktail made with gin, sweet vermouth and Fernet-Branca. In addition to riffs on classic cocktails, the small neighbourhood bar has become a Bangsar staple for its contemporary Malaysian creations and playful food programme. It gained wider renown after being named the best bar in Malaysia when it was ranked No. 27 on the 2019 list. The team at Backdoor Bodega. — Picture via Facebook/Backdoor Bodega Backdoor Bodega, located in the heart of George Town, Penang, is one of the original pioneers in the city's burgeoning cocktail scene, having been around since 2016. Fashioning itself as 'an overpriced pin shop', guests purchase lapel pins at the bar to 'redeem' cocktails. The 1–50 list for Asia's 50 Best Bars 2025 will be announced on July 15, 'live' from the Wynn Palace in Macau.

‘Almost like a dance': Henry Golding enters warrior mode as the keris-wielding Tuah in Netflix's ‘The Old Guard 2' (VIDEO)
KUALA LUMPUR, July 2 — Think of Henry Golding, and the romantic heartthrob Nick Young from his debut film Crazy Rich Asians, is probably the first thing that comes to mind. For Malaysians especially, that memory will have to make room for Golding's latest avatar, the keris-wielding warrior Tuah in The Old Guard 2. The excitement is already building among his fans here after Golding recently shared a poster of him wielding the iconic keris on Instagram. The Old Guard follows the story of a covert group of immortals led by Andromache of Scythia or Andy (Charlize Theron), shaping the history of mankind by fighting alongside them in disguise for centuries. Other prominent stars in the 2020 film, including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Matthias Schoenaerts, Marwan Kenzari, Luca Marinelli and Kiki Layne, are reprising their roles in the sequel while Golding and Uma Thurman enter as the new additions. The Old Guard 2 introduces Golding, 38, as an older immortal called Tuah who lives as a recluse in his cavernous underground library. Tuah is a quiet, meticulous and sharp-eyed historian devoted to learning and cataloguing the trails that every immortal has left through time and civilisations. Surrounded by books and solitude, Tuah's only companion is his deadly keris — the weapon and the key to his extensive archive. Henry said his conversations with the director Victoria Mahoney sparked the idea for him to tap into Hang Tuah's folklore and spotlight his Malaysian roots in the Hollywood project. 'We were playing around with a couple of names, she (Mahoney) had two in particular and one of them was Tuah. 'From my time growing up in Malaysia, I was always enamoured by the folklore of Hang Tuah and I thought this was perfect. It was kind of meant to be. 'I don't think we have seen this kind of representation in a Hollywood movie. 'So, I'm really hoping that Malaysians and the South-east Asians can catch on to this... that's for the area, for sure,' Golding told Malay Mail during an exclusive interview recently. Whenever he isn't holding a gun or a book in the film, Golding is seen taking down his enemies with the keris — a wavy dagger widely used in the ancient martial art of pencak silat in Malaysia and Indonesia. 'Something that I decided from early on in the training was to give Tuah a certain style different than the other immortals,' Golding said, explaining his decision to use the keris. 'It's almost like a dance in some respects,' he added. However, it is worth noting that Henry does not depict Hang Tuah entirely in the film. Only certain aspects of the folklore were infused into his character. The Old Guard follows the story of a covert group of immortals led by Andromache of Scythia or Andy (Charlize Theron), fighting alongside mankind in disguise for centuries. — Picture courtesy of Netlix The only people who knew of Tuah's existence were Andy and the first immortal, Discord (Uma Thurman). However, after centuries of consciously staying out from civilisational battles, Andy's predicaments compel Tuah to change his mind. 'He was the one with the knowledge, and he had set out away from everyone for a few thousand years to concentrate on trying to learn the secrets of the immortals. 'He's careful not to give away too much because that would upset the balance. 'When he joins the group, it's the first time we've seen him relinquish control of his own fate in a long time. 'For him, this is a new sort of revitalised life,' Golding said. Describing Tuah as a 'wise owl', Golding said he would occasionally retreat to solitude — just like his fictional character — in his own life to rejuvenate himself either through photography, computer games or just watching a movie. More than the high-octane action sequences, The Old Guard 2 struck a chord with Golding because of its central theme about the undying battle with eternity. 'It is the struggle with the idea of living forever, the struggle of what repercussions that would have on the human psyche and how loss affects you over thousands of years.' The Old Guard 2 premieres on Netflix on July 2.
