Actress Sofia Jane Questions GSC's Inconvenient Screening Time For 'Mencari Ramlee'
Director and author of 'Gantung: Musketeer Code', Nadia Khan, recently criticised Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC) and TGV Cinemas after learning that the former would be pulling the film from cinemas, reportedly due to low audience turnout. She argued that the premiere date and screening times were poorly scheduled, making it difficult for Malaysian audiences to attend. GSC has yet to provide an explanation, and it appears they may need to offer another soon. An actress recently took to social media to question the company after learning that a film she starred in would also be pulled from cinemas. Here's what happened: Earlier this week, actress Sofia Jane took to both Instagram and Twitter to speak about 'Mencari Ramlee', the film in which she stars alongside Tony Eusoff and Mimi Lana, and GSC's screening schedule. She revealed that she and the rest of the team involved in the project had been informed that the film would be withdrawn from GSC outlets due to low audience turnout. However, she questioned the reasoning behind the chosen screening times and called for an explanation. 'My question is, why are the time selections that make it impossible for some to catch it? If you decide to just have one time slot, why can't you dedicate a decent time that you know can be accessible? Till today, after years in this industry, I still can't get a decent answer,' she wrote in her posts. She added that, while she understands how business works, she struggled to make sense of the decision, particularly if GSC genuinely wants local cinema to thrive. 'I'm not asking for 'Mencari Ramlee' alone, but for all the others that are coming your way. We both know why the industry is slow in filling bums in seats. But it doesn't help having a time slot that makes it hard for the few who want to watch it,' the 53-year-old elaborated. Shortly after her post went viral, filmmaker Nadia Khan responded, stating that she is still awaiting a reply from GSC regarding her own enquiries about the screening of her film 'Gantung: Musketeer Code'. Both public figures concluded that cinemas, particularly when it comes to local films, may no longer be what they once were. Netizens remain divided, with some criticising GSC for failing to prioritise local productions, while others argue that the cinema chain should not bear all the blame, pointing instead to the film's lack of promotion. What are your thoughts on this issue? Is GSC truly to be blamed for the lack of views, or is this a case of a lack of promotion from the film's marketing team?

(Photos) TVB Kickstarts Recruitment Interviews For Miss HK Pageant 2025
The Miss Hong Kong Pageant 2025 (香港小姐競選2025) has officially begun the first round of interviews, kickstarting this year's pageant. As always, fans look forward to seeing the aspiring contestants eyeing the coveted crown. This year, the recruitment process began yesterday (24th June 2025, Tuesday), with hundreds of interview participants gathering at TVB City in Hong Kong for the first round of interviews. The interview will screen the ladies on background, education, and online presence. As shown in photos, most contestants dressed casually, with many opting for short dresses that show off their figures. Online, the reaction to the first batch of hopefuls has been lukewarm. However, there were a few potential contestants that caught media attention. One of whom is 26-year-old Vivian, a student at the Central Academy of Drama. During the interview, she showed up in a dress with a plunging neckline, which highlighted her cleavage. Netizens also noted her striking features, including the mole on her chin. Another noteworthy contestant is 23-year-old Emily Tsoi, who went to the interviews accompanied by her father, a former TVB employee. According to reports, Emily recently graduated from a British university with a degree in dance. She also has some experience in the entertainment industry, given her history as a child star. Photos of her past showed her working alongside renowned stars like Wong Cho-lam and South Korean actress Lee Young-Ae. However, the most shocking participant had to be 24-year-old Angel Chong, who happens to be Hong Kong's youngest district councillor. Her appearance at the Miss HK 2025 interviews sparked mixed reactions, with some wondering if her decision to compete goes against her public duties. Angel has responded to the comments, assuring she'll do her best to balance her work as a councillor with her pageant aspirations. There seems to be a variety of contestants this year. We wish all the hopefuls all the best in their interviews. Was there anyone from the pool of participants who caught your attention?
