Cape craze in Johor: Over 1,000 fans break record in massive Superman gathering

Malay Mail4 days ago
JOHOR BARU, July 14 — A superb moment took place on Saturday here as 1,007 fans gathered for the largest-ever Superman costume assembly — an achievement that has proudly earned a place in the Malaysian Book of Records.
The gathering at Aeon Mall, Bukit Indah began at 2:30 pm and featured an impressive array of fans, many of whom with their personal interpretations of Superman or his alter ego, Clark Kent.
From enthusiastic individuals and families to passionate cosplayers and kids, attendees came together to show their love and support for the iconic DC superhero.
Aeon Malls nationwide have hosted a variety of Superman-themed ground activations, including colouring activities, cosplay events, and fan gatherings.
'Aeon Mall is non-stoppable to bring excitement to our valuable customers and community,' said Head of Mall Marketing, Nikki Lee Chin Foong.
Meanwhile, TGV Cinemas, as part of its TGV Home of Heroes campaign, which celebrates heroes from all genres, hosted a 'Mega Super Party' at more than 40 locations nationwide.
The new Superman film premiered in Malaysia on July 10 and has been praised for its comic-accurate portrayal of the character, a version that stands in contrast to Zack Snyder's more serious take on the Man of Steel.
Superman is still screening in cinemas, and it's not too late to catch this heroic adventure on the big screen.

Siti Nurhaliza to make history at Indonesia's Pestapora 2025 as first Malaysian performer

KUALA LUMPUR, July 17 — Just days before the highly-anticipated Latihan Pestapora Malaysia kicks off, the organisers of Indonesia's biggest annual music festival have dropped a bombshell: Malaysia's very own Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza will be performing at Pestapora 2025 in Jakarta this September. And yes, it's historic – she's the first Malaysian ever to grace the Pestapora stage since the festival began in 2022. The second phase of the line-up was revealed on Pestapora's social media last night, and the announcement sent fans into an emotional spiral – from disbelief to pure excitement. 'Datuk Sri Siti Nurhaliza performing at Pestapora was definitely not in my book, I did not expect this,' user @G4COAN tweeted. 'Tokti performing at Pestapora?' wrote @moscawalter. Aside from Malaysia's beloved 'Tokti', the new line-up also features Indonesian legends like Iwan Fals, Ebiet G. Ade, Juicy Luicy, and the Erwin Gutawa Orchestra, led by the iconic composer himself. Previously announced acts include .Feast, Sukatani, JKT48, The Changcuters, Elephant Kind and more. Pestapora 2025 is set to run from September 5 to 7 at the Gambir Expo in Jakarta, and with organisers teasing more names to come, this party is only getting started. Three-day passes are priced at RP550,000 (around RM143.06). The first ticket phase is already sold out, while the second has yet to drop — so fans better keep their tabs open. nama pertama yang keliatan adalah alasan kamu beli tiket. dailynya otw, GOW! — Pestapora (@PestaPestapora) July 16, 2025 Organised by Boss Creator, Pestapora has been dubbed Indonesia's Coachella – a genre-spanning celebration featuring over 170 acts, known just as much for its music as its creative, chaotic marketing. From quirky warm-up shows called Latihan Pestapora to gamified lineup teasers, the fest has built a cult following. And now, for the first time ever, that warm-up series is coming to Malaysia. Latihan Pestapora Malaysia will make its debut this July 26 at Bukit Jalil National Stadium, featuring a star-studded line-up of regional favourites like Sheila On 7, Hindia, Dolla, Bittersweet, Kunto Aji and more. Tickets for Latihan Pestapora Malaysia is still available here. Siti's upcoming Pestapora appearance marks another cross-border milestone in Malaysian music – and proves once again that the queen moves in silence, then stuns the whole region.

Boycott Superman movie over Jewish actor?

COMMENT | Some Malaysians want to boycott the new Superman movie because the lead actor is Jewish. This was reported by a news portal after looking through netizens' online comments. Some joked that this was really because Superman wears his red underwear outside, thus rendering the show 'immoral'. Superman was played by Henry Cavill from 2013 to 2022. Now the cape has been passed to David Corenswet, a 32-year-old American Jewish actor. This generated a storm of 1,200 comments (thus far) when it was posted online. But hang on, isn't Superman...
