[Watch] Highway Kung Fu: When Mat Kilau Met Wong Fei Hung
Subscribe to our FREE An unusual spectacle unfolded at a Malaysian highway rest stop on a regular afternoon, in what could have been mistaken for a scene from a martial arts film. In front of a toll plaza, two unlikely combatants engaged in what locals would later dub 'Mat Kilau vs. Wong Fei Hong.' The scene began with a shirtless man, wearing what appeared to be a sarung, wielding what observers identified as a sai (a fork-like martial arts weapon), performing dramatic spins that would make any silat master proud. His opponent, a man in casual attire, took a fighting stance with raised fists, displaying what social media users noted as trained martial arts footwork, though he made no aggressive moves. The contrast between the sarung-clad man's elaborate spinning with his sai and his opponent's measured stance created an almost comedic scene at the usually mundane toll plaza. Chakra, Sai, and Viral Fame But this wasn't your typical roadside confrontation. The theatrical nature of their movements – especially the shirtless warrior's signature spin move that social media commenters joked 'consumed 60% chakra' – suggested something more akin to an impromptu street performance than a serious altercation. Just as the situation could have escalated, a hero emerged in the form of a calm mediator wearing a grey shirt. His timely intervention brought the theatrical standoff to a peaceful conclusion, embodying the Malaysian spirit of harmony that often prevails in such situations. The incident, captured on video and shared across social media, quickly became a source of amusement for Malaysians, who appreciated the multicultural aspect of the scene – a perfect representation of Malaysia's diverse martial arts heritage, albeit in an unconventional setting. Though it ended without any real conflict, it left behind a viral moment that had Malaysians chuckling at the unexpected fusion of traditional martial arts and modern highway rest stop drama.

Kamal Haasan is open to filming in M'sia as he arrives in KL to promote new film
Kamal Haasan is happy to present his latest movie 'Thug Life' to his Malaysian fans. Photo: LOW BOON TAT/The Star Indian actor and politician Kamal Haasan is in Kuala Lumpur today (May 31) to promote his latest movie, Thug Life , which is set to hit cinemas on June 5. Speaking to the media at a hotel in KL earlier this afternoon, the 70-year-old described the film as 'a treat' he has prepared for his Malaysian fans. 'We worked hard on this 'child,' which I am now handing over to you,' he said. Thug Life reunites Kamal with director Mani Ratnam after 38 years. Their last collaboration was the 1987 classic Nayakan . Indian media has dubbed Thug Life a 'spiritual sequel' to that film, after Kamal said it was a peace offering to fans who have long awaited their reunion. Co-written by Kamal and Mani, Thug Life is set in the criminal underworld, where brothers Sakthivel and Manickam rule. But things begin to shift when one of them rescues a young boy – triggering insecurity in the other. When an assassination attempt is made on Sakthivel, he sets out to destroy the very family he once built. The film also stars Silambarasan, Trisha Krishnan and Joju George. The award-winning actor – whose notable works include Hey Ram , Indian , Vikram and Vishwaroopam – said his character in Thug Life is someone who fights with everything he has. 'That makes him more dangerous than someone with a sword – because he is someone who has nothing to go back to. The battlefield is his home now. He'll see the battle through to the end, live or die,' Kamal said. When asked whether he'd be interested in filming in Malaysia again, Kamal shared that he has shot scenes here in the past and is open to doing so in the future. 'I've come here many times. I have many friends in Malaysia. And I think we share more than just culture and language,' he added. Besides the press conference, Kamal is also scheduled to make a special appearance at a fan meet-and-greet at MyTown Kuala Lumpur later this evening.
