(Video) Thai Hot Guys' Appearance In PJ This Weekend Draws Flak From Locals
Yesterday, local social media personality Caprice shared a video on his Instagram account, revealing that the four members of Thai Hot Guys would be making an appearance at Mattress Premium Outlet (MPO) in Petaling Jaya this weekend. The event, titled 'Thai Hunk Coming To MPO', is scheduled for 26th July 2025 (Saturday) and will include meet-and-greets with the viral influencers.
A quick check on MPO and the Thai Hot Guys members' social media pages confirmed the event. An announcement post also revealed that fans can win a chance to meet the four internet personalities. The event will be held at the MPO Showroom in Petaling Jaya from 11am to 5pm. While the meet-and-greet received interest from fans, it also drew flak from Malaysian netizens.
In his post about the event, Caprice tagged local authorities and the Immigration department, urging them to block the Thai Hot Guys from entering Malaysia and attending the event. The comments also argued that the event is disrespectful to the local culture, given the controversial content the Thai Hot Guys are known for. Others also questioned how MPO had received approval to hold the event.
As of writing, MPO hasn't responded to the backlash. However, it's worth noting that the Thai Hot Guys are likely only attending the event to promote the store and might not engage in their typical sexy content. The group also faced similar backlash after announcing plans to open a restaurant in Malaysia. However, owners Dee and Wow explained that the restaurant will not have the dancing concept as the group wants to respect Malaysian culture.
We hope MPO can clarify this event as soon as possible to avoid any more controversy. However, can an explanation change the public's perception? What are your thoughts on this?

Fasha Sandha & Nur Sajat Reunite In Singapore After Attending Siti Nurhaliza's Concert
Over the weekend, Biduanita Negara Dato Sri Siti Nurhaliza held a concert in Singapore, where a few familiar faces from Malaysia attended the show. Most people would expect Malaysian and Singaporean stars would meet up before or after the performance to catch up, but many were surprised when the icon acknowledged celebrity entrepreneur Nur Sajat in the audience. She thanked the model for attending her show, having flown all the way from Australia. It turns out, Siti wasn't the only one who greeted the business owner, as actress Fasha Sandha also shared that she met up with her old friend after the concert. Here's what went down: Yesterday (Sunday, 27th July), actress Fasha Sandha posted a carousel of photos and videos on Instagram, sharing moments from her meetup with Nur Sajat. She expressed how impressed she was by the model's star power, so much so that even the icon Siti Nurhaliza acknowledged her presence during the concert. 'I bet everyone misses Sajat, right? Let us pray that she'll continue to succeed. We have no right to judge others, as everyone is going through their own journey. All we can do is pray for the best for them,' she wrote in the caption. Sajat responded to the post, saying their reunion was long overdue and thanked Fasha for being a supportive friend. 'After four years, we finally saw each other again. Thank you, @fashasandha, for the moments yesterday that I will forever treasure. Although we're far apart, we remain good friends. You're such a beautiful soul. May you and your family always be blessed,' the entrepreneur wrote. It's clear that Sajat had a good time in Singapore. Not only did she manage to catch up with an old friend and attend Siti Nurhaliza's concert, but she also got to take a photo with the legendary singer backstage after the show! Maybe one day, she'll get to go home without any legal consequences.

Indonesian showcase Latihan Pestapora Malaysia lights up Bukit Jalil with rhythm, unity, and nostalgia
The Bukit Jalil National Stadium roared with thousands of music enthusiasts from across Malaysia and Indonesia at 'Latihan Pestapora Malaysia 2025' — a mega music festival co-organised by renowned event management label, Hitman Solutions and Boss Creator, held this weekend. Conceptualised as a 'latihan' or 'training ground' ahead of Pestapora that is taking place in Jakarta from 5-7th September 2025, this milestone event made history as a collaborative platform bringing together celebrated Malaysian and Indonesian artists. Featuring over 25 live acts across two grand stages, the festival showcased the rich variety of regional music genres that are fast gaining international recognition. The Long-Awaited Return – Sheila On 7 The most anticipated moment during the festival was undoubtedly the long-awaited return of Sheila On 7, performing in Malaysia for the first time in over a decade. The crowd erupted in song and emotion as the legendary band from Yogyakarta delivered a lineup of timeless hits, including "Dan, Melompat Lebih Tinggi, Sephia, Kita, Sahabat Sejati", and more. The thunderous cheers that accompanied the opening chords of their first song were proof of the unwavering loyalty and love Malaysian fans still hold for the band. A Star-Studded Festival-Grade Line-Up Latihan Pestapora Malaysia 2025 brought together an exciting mix of Malaysian and Indonesian acts, cutting across genres like pop, rock, hip-hop, indie, and dangdut — creating one of the most inclusive and diverse music events of the year. Over 25 performances took place across two main stages, the Main Stage and the other called 'Hingar Bingar' featuring: .Feast, Hindia, Nadin Amizah, Barasuara X Efek Rumah Kaca, Bittersweet, Bunkface, Dolla, Pamungkas, Feel Koplo, Kunto Aji, Salammusik, Sheila on 7, Alvn, Aziz Harun, DJ CZA, Dukes, Elva Suyan, Fahimi, Empty Page, Gaston Pong, Ismail Izzani, Julia Duclos, Killa Driz, Lil J, Naki, Sonaone, and Yonnyboii. Organisers' Commitment & Vision According to Rohit Rampal, CEO of Hitman Solutions, the success of this event proves Malaysia is more than capable of hosting large-scale international music festivals: "Bringing Latihan Pestapora to Malaysia is a major milestone. It's not just a production achievement but a cultural success. "We've successfully brought an international festival IP to Malaysia, giving both local and international fans a chance to experience it on home soil." He added that although coordinating the needs of over 25 regional and international artists came with its own set of challenges, they were overcome thanks to close teamwork and strong strategic partnerships. Meanwhile, Kiki Ucup, Festival Director of Pestapora & Co-founder of Boss Creator, described the festival as an important cultural movement: "We've seen how Malaysian fans travel to Jakarta every year for Pestapora. "Now it's time we bring that 'latihan' experience here, so Malaysians can feel the magic too. This is more than a concert — it's about building community and regional solidarity." The Uniqueness Of 'Latihan Pestapora Malaysia 2025' While preserving the original spirit and concept of Jakarta's Pestapora, the Malaysian edition added its own unique touch — a platform for rising and alternative local acts, a curated selection of Malaysian food vendors, interactive activities, and insta-worthy zones designed for audiences of all ages. Latihan Pestapora Malaysia -- Future Annual Festival In Malaysia Given the overwhelming turnout and glowing feedback from fans and media, the organisers have expressed strong intentions to make Latihan Pestapora Malaysia an annual event. "We believe this is just the beginning. With such incredible support, we're excited to scale up and create even more opportunities for cross-cultural collaboration," said Rohit. "Latihan Pestapora Malaysia 2025 was not just a music festival — it was a cultural movement uniting music, spirit, and identity between two brotherly nations. With thousands of passionate fans in attendance, the event proved Malaysia is ready to become a regional hub for world-class music festivals."
