Longest non-stop financial literacy livestream in Malaysia

mySalam celebrating a record breaking moment after 24-hour public engagement on Financial Literacy through TikTok LIVE. TAWAU (July 7): mySalam, Malaysia's national takaful protection scheme for the B40 community which is fully managed by Great Eastern Takaful Berhad (GETB) together with Financial Education Network (FEN), made history with a successful digital initiative; a 24-hour Non-Stop Financial Literacy Session on TikTok LIVE, held in conjunction with the Karnival Celik Kewangan (KCK) Tawau from July 5 to 6 at Eastern Plaza, Tawau. This extraordinary digital engagement was officially recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records as the 'Longest Non-Stop Financial Literacy Livestream in Malaysia', setting a new national benchmark for inclusive, digital-first financial education. Branded as Misi #24JamBijakWang, the TikTok LIVE session was spearheaded by mySalam and Financial Education Network (FEN), with TikTok Malaysia as the official digital partner and supported by the Malaysian Takaful Association (MTA). The 24-hour duration was strategically chosen to maximise its outreach to wider community segments, from youths to seniors and day workers to night-shifters. This initiative affirms that financial literacy is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. According to Syuhaib Ithnin, head of mySalam at Great Eastern Takaful, Misi #24JamBijakWang was never just about setting a record. 'People think that financial topics are boring, but after continuous livestreaming on TikTok LIVE, we managed to gain over 3.2 million likes, 12 thousand comments, and more than 17,000 visitors in just 24 hours.' 'By embracing a digital-first approach, we may alter traditional perception, making financial education more inclusive and engaging. Through casual, relatable delivery methods, interactive content, and exciting incentives, we have demonstrated that financial literacy is not a luxury reserved for the privileged, but a fundamental right for all. This initiative is more than just a campaign, it's a movement. It empowers individuals to make informed financial decisions, fosters resilience against economic challenges, and builds a foundation for long-term financial well-being. We are proud to be at the forefront of this transformation, and we remain committed to set a benchmark for others to follow,' he added. Quoting Deputy Governor Adnan Zaylani Mohamad Zahid at the launch ceremony of the Karnival Celik Kewangan (KCK) Tawau 2025 on Saturday, 'This carnival is not merely a gathering or an exhibition. It is a strategic platform that brings together various parties – government agencies, financial institutions, academics, civil society organisations and the local community to join forces in empowering the public with relevant and practical financial knowledge. With strong community support and the momentum from the carnival, the Financial Education Network remains committed to expand its reach and impact throughout Malaysia. It also opens up opportunities for the public to access reliable information, learn about available support channels, and ask questions directly to experts without feeling shy or afraid.' Throughout the 24-hour livestream, more than 24 guest speakers harnessed TikTok LIVE's interactive features to deliver real-time financial advice directly to the audience in an authentic and fun way, addressing questions in the comments. Among the topics covered included financial scams, takaful protection, basic investing, tax planning, debt management, and household budgeting strategies, all curated to be practical, relatable and easy to understand. To sustain momentum and encourage participation, the initiative also featured the FinTok Challenge; a fun, hourly interactive contest on TikTok LIVE that awarded 24 winners with a total of RM24,000 cash prizes. 'At TikTok we are committed to building a safe platform where creativity and free expression can thrive, while also igniting meaningful conversations, learning at scale, and empowering communities,' said Firdaus Fadzil, Head of Public Policy of Malaysia at TikTok. 'Our partnership with mySalam is a great testament of how organisations can harness the reach and immediacy of our platform to raise awareness on key topics among Malaysians and drive a lasting positive impact on society.' The success of this initiative reflects how financial education can evolve with modern digital lifestyles. It also marks a strong and continued commitment from the organisers to explore innovative, people-friendly approaches in delivering financial literacy to all, from those at the urban areas to the furthest communities.

TikTok Launches Community Fest Event to Highlight Live Creators

This story was originally published on Social Media Today. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Social Media Today newsletter. TikTok has launched its latest 'Community Fest' live content event, which will showcase some of the app's top live creators, as part of a broader push to spark more interest in its live-stream offerings. TikTok's Community Fest aims to highlight the value of live-streaming for community building, and maximizing connection with your audience in the app. As per TikTok: 'Running from June 15th through July 5th, Community Fest is TikTok LIVE's global, in-app event designed to spotlight our vibrant LIVE creator community. Think of it as the warm-up act to LIVE Fest 2025 - TikTok's months-long global festival celebrating all things LIVE. Community Fest gives creators a chance to grow their audiences, deepen real-time engagement, and celebrate the power of connection through TikTok LIVE.' TikTok LIVE Fest, which it's been running since 2023, is a bigger showcase of the app's live content, with Community Fest highlighting the more specific elements of using live-streams for maximizing audience engagement, and building an active community in the app. 'From cooking and music to education, fishing and gaming and so much more, Community Fest is an invitation for everyone, whether going LIVE, gifting, or just tuning in, to come together, support one another, and share the moments that matter most.' TikTok is very keen to get more people using its live-streaming element, not only for the community aspects, and driving more engagement, but also as a part of its broader eCommerce push, and getting people to buy products in-stream. In China, the local version of TikTok, called 'Douyin,' has seen huge success with in-app shopping, generating around $US490 billion in gross merchandise sales (GMV) in 2024, a 30% increase year-over-year. Live-stream shopping reportedly contributed 60% of that activity. For comparison, TikTok reportedly generated around $US30 billion in GMV in 2024. The immediacy and engagement of live streams helps to enhance shopping interest and activity. And while that compulsive behavior can also have negative consequences as well, you can see why TikTok would be so keen to showcase this as an opportunity, in order to build more hype around live-streaming, both as a means to connect, and eventually, to guide more users towards its shopping experiences. Which remains its big target. TikTok continues to revise and reform its shopping push, in order to relay its popularity into becoming an online shopping superpower. Thus far, Western audiences haven't been as keen on such as those in Asian markets, but there are signs that TikTok shopping is catching on. The platform recently reported that TikTok Shop sales have increased 120% year-over-year in the U.S., while American brands and creators have also hosted over 8 million hours of LIVE shopping sessions. So there is reason for TikTok to be enthusiastic about the opportunity, which is why its Community Fest and LIVE Fest events could take on additional importance this time around. Add to this the fact that TikTok could still be ejected from the U.S., with the White House recently extending its sell-off negotiation window till September, and there's even more impetus for the platform to maximize its opportunities while it can, both as a means to maximize its revenue, and showcase its growing relevance within the U.S. market. So while it may not be a big event in general terms, it's a significant promotion and showcase for TikTok. TikTok has also announced that it's expanding its LIVE Fest event series to more regions, including Japan, the Middle East and North Africa, as part of a broader celebration of live creators. It's also launched a new "LIVE Journey" activation in the app, which aims to gamify live-stream participation: So, clearly, TikTok's looking to boost enthusiasm for its live-stream offerings, however it can, with a view to the broader opportunities that it can bring.

Rita Ora flaunted her abs in a skimpy co-ord as she gave a surprise performance with Will Smith outside London's King's Cross station on Wednesday. The singer, 34, and the actress, 56, sent fans into a frenzy as they took part in a Tiktok LIVE with DJ AG at the north London station. Rita showed off her incredible figure in a cropped black and white jacket which she wore with a pair of matching shorts. She completed her look with a pair of quirky heels and added a pair of shades and silver hoop earrings. Will later joined the party and stood out from the crowd in a red leather jacket as they delighted fans with some hits. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The singer, 34, and the actress, 56, sent fans into a frenzy as they took part in a Tiktok LIVE with DJ AG at the north London station The pair looked like they were having a great time as they hugged after the song as the gathered crowds - which included Rita's husband Taika Waititi - went wild. It comes after earlier this week Rita showed off her toned physique in a skimpy bikini while promoting her new single on Monday. The Let Me Love You singer was filmed soaking in the sun on holiday while strutting around poolside listening to Heat, which she released on Friday. Rita looked sensational for the video posted on Instagram as she displayed a hint of under-boob in the vibrant orange bikini. Getting in the holiday spirit, the 34-year-old sported both a body chain and a number of anklets. Referencing her new tune, Rita captioned the video: 'Summer 25 just got hotter.' Heat has been released ahead of Rita's performance at the World Pride Music Festival in Washington on the weekend. The former The X Factor judge described the track - which features a music video set in Miami - as 'special' to her. 'I'm obsessed with this track,' she said, 'and honestly, I just wanted to have fun with it. It's bold, cheeky, and totally drenched in golden, feel-good energy. 'For me, it's all about celebrating freedom, joy, being unapologetically yourself and owning who you are. 'Dropping Heat on the same day as my World Pride performance feels like the perfect way to kick off summer - it's such a special moment for me and for my fans who have supported me over the years.' Heat is expected to feature on the pop star's upcoming album which is yet to have been named. Rita has recently been supporting Kylie Minogue for the first leg of her Tension tour after she previously revealed that the Aussie's 2023 mega-hit 'Padam Padam' was nearly given to her. The synth-pop banger - penned by Norwegian singer-songwriter Ina Wroldsen and producer Lostboy - was a viral hit for Kylie.
