MIRROR's Edan Lui Poses With Batik Shirt During His Trip To Penang
Malaysia's beautifully styled batik motif has long been admired by locals and foreigners alike, with travellers making sure to bring home a pair or two. Taking inspiration from Malay culture as well as natural elements, the batik is a unisex design that allows men and women to wear it.
Last Sunday (8th June 2025), Hong Kong singer Edan Lui (呂爵安) donned a batik shirt in a photo shared via his Instagram during his trip to Penang with the caption, 'Selamat malam. Goodnight from Penang'. The 28-year-old singer had recently come down to Malaysia to film a new season of a variety show with several other celebrities.
Edan was recently in Penang to film the 4th season of 'Be On Game', a comedy variety show comprising six celebrity hosts from Hong Kong. Coincidentally, Lui's rumoured Malaysian girlfriend, Lin Min Chen, was in her hometown of Penang to celebrate her birthday, which falls on 1st June 2025. Reports speculate that the timing of both their trip was pre-planned.
Malaysian netizens were thrilled to see the star in Penang, with most comments on the post reacting positively to his chosen attire. Instagram user @/beans218xw comments, 'This look is from Tan Sri Edan', noting that batik is usually worn in official settings. Other Malaysian netizens have also quibbled with their welcomes as well as suggestions of having an all-you-can-eat durian feast while in Malaysia.
As more foreign artists travel to Malaysia, we're hoping to see more of our culture embraced during their trip to Malaysia. What do you think about Edan Lui's batik shirt?

Hong Kong actress Crystal Fung denies rift with fellow celeb Louisa Mak
Crystal Fung (right) says there is no rift between her and Louisa Mak. Photos: Louisa Mak/Instagram, Crystal Fung/Instagram At a recent event in Hong Kong, actress Crystal Fung addressed rumours of a falling-out with fellow beauty queen and friend Louisa Mak. The 31-year-old, who was crowned Miss Hong Kong in 2016, firmly denied the claims. Mak, 33, won the same title a year earlier in 2015. According to Fung, the misunderstanding began when a reporter asked if she had visited Mak and met her newborn. She replied that she hadn't yet, which sparked speculation of a rift. 'A group of us have a chat group and we're planning to meet up next month for dinner to celebrate my birthday. We're still coordinating the dates,' she said, as translated by Jaynestars. While she admitted they haven't seen each other in over half a year, Fung attributed this to Mak's busy schedule following her marriage and the birth of her child. 'She's been really busy. We're trying to arrange a get-together where she can see everyone at once, instead of having to meet us one by one,' she explained, stressing there's no tension between them. Both women have recently entered the education sector, but Fung dismissed any notion of rivalry. 'We're focused on different areas – Louisa is specialising in early childhood education, while I am focusing on emotional support for primary and secondary students and their parents,' she said, adding that she had just come from giving a talk at a secondary school. When asked if their friendship had changed, Fung replied simply: 'Our friendship hasn't changed at all.'

Traders making a fortune from Labubu craze
TRADERS in mainland China are said to be profiting handsomely from the sale of clothes and accessories for the Labubu plush toy, China Press reported. For instance, businesswoman Gu Huijie opened three retail stores in Zhejiang province this year, offering only such apparel for sale. Her factory, which employs around 700 workers, produces 20,000 to 30,000 clothing items for the dolls every day just to meet consumer demand. Gui would introduce about 20 new designs each day, adding them to her catalogue, which already has over 1,000 items. The popularity of Labubu dolls has exploded recently in China. Labubu, a character with serrated teeth and pointy ears, was created by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung in his picture books featuring Nordic fairy tales. > Hong Kong boy band member Edan Lui, who was noticeably missing from his rumoured Malaysian actress girlfriend Lin Min Chen's birthday photos, was recently spotted in her hometown in Penang, Sin Chew Daily reported. Lui, 28, posted a photo of himself online wearing a batik shirt. 'Goodnight from Penang,' he wrote. He is in Malaysia to film a variety show; however, many fans suspect that he may also be visiting Lin. Based in Taiwan, Lin, 35, has also released several music albums.
