'Old is gold' and Rosyam Nor proves it right by winning the AMT2025 Hottest Viral Celebrity Award
Congratulations to one of Malaysia's most well-known actors and businessmen. He proved that at the age of 58, he is still the man to beat in the industry.
Rosyam, who actually looked surprised when he was announced, but much to the delight of fans in the arena, was the recipient of the Hottest Viral Celebrity Award at the Hottest Melodi Awards 2025 ( Anugerah Selebriti Viral Terhangat di Anugerah Melodi Terhangat 2025 - AMT2025 ).
While Rosyam said the victory was a major surprise for him, it was not for the fans, as they celebrated with thunderous cheers from the audience.
The category at AMT2025 is a special category given to individuals who have created an extraordinary impact on social media, and this year, the organisers said, no one is more deserving than Rosyam.
It all started with a dramatic scene in the sensational TV3 drama 'Keluarga Itu', which featured Rosyam Nor as a conflicted husband.
However, the most viral moment was when he adorably smacked his own lips. The scene sparked an explosion of reactions on TikTok, from parodies to reaction videos, making it one of the most talked about clips of the year.
Rosyam also touched on the extraordinary impact of the viral scene, which sparked a wave of conversation on social media, reaching 1.3 billion tweets.
This achievement is proof of how a simple but heartfelt moment of acting can transcend the screen and become a digital phenomenon, further cementing his position as a legendary figure who remains relevant.
The award is also further proof that Rosyam is not only a legend in the world of acting but also a figure who is always able to adapt to current trends and tastes.
From TV screens to phone screens, his influence remains relevant, even now, among the digital generation, who are always looking for stories that touch emotions and spark conversations.

London Tube vs MRT: British Couple Say MRT Is So Much Better
Subscribe to our FREE A backpacking couple who makes travel vlogs recently stopped in Kuala Lumpur and as many of us know, getting around is easy with RapidKL's Mass Rapid Transit (MRT). Joel and Charlotte posted a video on TikTok to share their experience on taking the MRT, and what they think of it compared to the London Underground transit system. 'We're about to take the MRT into Kuala Lumpur, so we thought we'd take you with us to show you the differences between the MRT and the London Underground,' Joel said. The couple highlighted the MRT's ticketing system, where commuters have to purchase a token at a digital kiosk or use a Touch 'N Go card to get to the train platforms. After getting into a train car, Charlotte showed viewers the women-only coach, and then pointed out a digital screen that shows the route and stops for the line they were on. 'They also have these screens, so it makes it a lot easier to navigate your way around compared to London,' Charlotte said. Joel then mentions how the MRT's trains are driverless, and jokes about how we don't have to worry about train drivers going on strike every other week. Next, he showed viewers that there's no need to 'mind the gap' since there are no gaps between the train and the platform. While he was on the topic of safety, Joel also noted that there are glass barriers on the platform so people couldn't fall onto the train tracks. 'It's so much cleaner, so much tidier than London Underground. And it has aircond. What did we pay? 50p (RM2.84) each? It's amazing,' he said. What is the London Undergound really like compared to the MRT? The London Underground — affectionately called the Tube — is one of the oldest and most iconic metro systems in the world. It began operation in 1863 and now spans 11 lines with over 270 stations, covering both central and greater London. It is famous for it's deep-level tunnels, the instantly recognisable logo, and the 'mind the gap' announcement. Despite its age, it's constantly being modernised, with upgrades like contactless payment and new air-conditioned trains. However, some lines still suffer from narrow tunnels, limited accessibility, and occasional delays — partly a result of the system's 19th-century origins. Tube stations in London still don't have protective barriers that prevent commuters from falling onto the tracks by accident or otherwise. Referring to Joel's comment on the digital route maps, London's tube trains do have printed route maps inside its coaches on their older trains. New trains on lines like the Jubilee, Circle, Metropolitan, and Elizabeth lines now have digital displays that light up the next stations and show your position along the route. However, to see the full iconic Tube map, you'll more often find it posted in stations rather than inside the train itself. Latest London Underground tube map. By comparison, the MRT is a modern system launched in 2017, starting with the Kajang Line and expanding with the Putrajaya Line. Built with contemporary standards from the start, it boasts wide platforms, fully air-conditioned trains, modern signalling systems, and better accessibility features like lifts and escalators at every station. So, even though London's network is far larger and denser, covering a sprawling city, the MRT has a head start in modern features and is also growing rapidly. Share your thoughts with us via TRP's .

M'sian woman finds frog in ‘limau ais', sparks Sendayan eatery outrage
NOTHING beats a refreshing iced lime juice on a hot day — until it comes with an unexpected, slimy surprise. A TikTok user, Imalina, shared a shocking incident that took place at AFT Station in Bandar Sri Sendayan, Seremban, where she discovered a frog in her limau ais (iced lime juice) — after she had already consumed a quarter of it. 'I stirred the drink and made the thing come up, dragged it with my straw... and there was a frog. What do you expect when the frog's colour also looks like asam boi? 'Swear I was speechless! I was shaking, seriously!' In a follow-up video, a five-second clip showed what appeared to be a dead frog floating inside the drink. The incident has since racked up nearly 3 million views, triggering a flood of reactions from netizens and raising serious concerns about restaurant hygiene standards. Some users encouraged Imalina to file a legal complaint over the incident, while others questioned why she made the matter public on social media. In response, Imalina clarified that she had already informed the restaurant staff — but their reaction only added fuel to the fire. 'I told the staff about it, but they acted like nothing happened. They didn't even apologise.' Her experience struck a nerve with other patrons. One user shared a similar unpleasant visit to the same restaurant. 'I've eaten there before too. I ordered kuey teow ladna. The squid and prawns were spoiled. 'There were also metal shavings and bits of scrub pad in the dish. When I told the staff, they just gave me a dirty look — no refund, no apology.' While many condemned the restaurant, others took a more humorous approach. One netizen joked that Imalina should see a doctor — referencing the Malaysian superhero film Cicak Man — suggesting she might turn into 'Katak Girl' (Frog Girl). Another quipped, 'Usually they put telur katak (basil seeds) in drinks. This place gave you the whole frog!' Despite the jokes, the incident has triggered serious conversations about food safety and hygiene practices in eateries. Customers are now urging restaurant owners to take accountability and implement stricter cleanliness protocols to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Privacy nightmare? Instagram's location-sharing feature draws comparisons to Snapchat
The feature, which was quietly introduced this week, allows users to share their precise, real-time location with selected friends. The feature, tucked at the top of your direct message inbox, lets you see exactly where your friends are and vice versa but only if both parties opt in. - Photo illustrated by Sinar Daily Instagram has rolled out a new 'Friend Map' in the United States (US), a move that has drawn comparisons to Snapchat and triggered backlash over privacy concerns. The feature, which was quietly introduced this week, allows users to share their precise, real-time location with selected friends. Many users, like Piper Foxx (@Piperfoxxi), reported that their location settings had been enabled without warning. On paper, it's all about staying connected. In practice, people are calling it a privacy nightmare waiting to happen. The feature, tucked at the top of your direct message inbox, lets you see exactly where your friends are and vice versa, but only if both parties opt-in. The backlash was so loud that Instagram head Adam Mosseri had to post a clarification on Thursday, assuring users their location will only be shared if they choose to. "We're double-checking everything, but so far it looks mostly like people are confused and assume that, because they can see themselves on the map when they open it, other people can see them too," he said. He added that the feature is designed to require "double consent" to ensure no one shares their location without explicitly choosing to do so. That hasn't stopped the avalanche of warnings flooding X and TikTok. One viral all-caps tweet with nearly 200,000 likes urged people to turn the location off on Instagram right away. Many users, like Piper Foxx (@Piperfoxxi), reported that their location settings had been enabled without warning. Instagram's new feature might be dressed up as a cute way to connect, but it's also a reminder that oversharing online has consequences. "Instagram turning on our exact location for thousands of people to see is actually terrifying. That's insane. Make sure to turn that off," she posted. If this is giving you déjà vu, you're not wrong. Snapchat rolled out its Snap Map back in 2017 and got roasted for similar reasons, with safety groups warning users not to share their precise location with strangers. Meta insisted Instagram's Friend Map is also opt-in and your location is off by default. But here's the catch: if you've ever tagged a location in a Story or post, your phone's location services may already be on and that makes it a lot easier to accidentally switch the feature on. Experts warn that while the idea of tracking your best friends at brunch might sound fun, your location data is worth a lot more to Big Tech than just casual hangouts. Instagram's new feature might be dressed up as a cute way to connect, but it's also a reminder that oversharing online has consequences. If you value your privacy and safety, double-check your settings before you accidentally give the internet a live feed of your life. Because in 2025, the only people who should know your exact location are your family and close friends. More Like This
