Datuk M. Nasir embraces new acting opportunities
Well known for his serious and romantic roles, he said he is not confined to any specific genre and is open to accepting and taking on any role that is offered. 08 Jun 2025 03:16pm Legendary Malaysian artiste Datuk M. Nasir has long been celebrated not only for his contributions as a singer, songwriter and visual artiste, but also for his distinctive presence on screen. - Photo by Bernama KUALA LUMPUR - With a career spanning over four decades, legendary Malaysian artiste Datuk M. Nasir has long been celebrated not only for his contributions as a singer, songwriter and visual artiste, but also for his distinctive presence on screen. His powerful performances continue to leave a lasting impression on audiences, proving that his acting talent is just as compelling as his musical legacy. Since making his film debut in 1986 with Kembara Seniman Jalanan, the Singapore-born artiste, known as the sifu of Malaysia's music industry, has consistently delivered performances with a 'magical touch' that have left a lasting impact on viewers. Some of the films starring the Mentera Semerah Padi and Tanya Sama Itu Hud-Hud hitmaker have not only sparked widespread discussion but also achieved box office success, including Fenomena (1990), Selubung (1992), and Puteri Gunung Ledang (2004). Legendary Malaysian artiste Datuk M. Nasir has long been celebrated not only for his contributions as a singer, songwriter and visual artiste, but also for his distinctive presence on screen. - Photo by Bernama Riding on this success, the husband of Marlia Musa-well known for his serious and romantic roles-said he is not confined to any specific genre and is open to accepting and taking on any role that is offered. "I think producers assume I only want to do serious things. Actually, if I like the character and the story, I don't mind. I can do comedy too," he told reporters. M. Nasir, whose full name is Mohamad Nasir Mohamed, demonstrated his versatility-including comedic roles-when he played a primary school principal in the latest music video Wamwamsam by comedian-singer Joey Daud. Although his appearance in the video was brief, the laid-back portrayal by the music maestro-deviating from his usual serious or romantic characters-brought a breath of fresh air to his showbiz career. For the father of six, there are no strict conditions when it comes to accepting acting offers, as long as the script and character are compelling and capture his interest. "If I have the time and the story appeals to me, I'll do it. The last time I acted in a film was in 2023, in Imam. Since then, I've done a bit of drama work and voiceover for a local animated film," said the Mentera Semerah Padi singer. Meanwhile, the Most Popular Male Singer award winner at Anugerah Bintang Popular Berita Harian in 1994, 2000, and 2001 is also reported to be involved in an upcoming film titled Daud M Origin, playing the role of Joey's father, who leads the movie. "I didn't say I accepted the offer (Daud M Origin); Joey did. I asked him whether he was actually offering me the father role, but before I could respond, he had already confirmed it. Well, we'll see-if the deal is good," he said. - BERNAMA More Like This

Why everyone's obsessed with K-beauty, and this is just the beginning
It's now clear that Korean beauty has far outgrown its modest local beginnings. Last year was truly a banner year for the industry, with cosmetics exports surging 20.3% to US$10.2bil (RM43.42bil), ranking third globally behind the US (US$11.19bil/RM47.63bil) and France (US$23.26bil/RM99bil), according to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. Zooming in on US-bound exports last year, Korea's stature continues to rise: The country is not only in the top three in global exports, it ranks first in the world's largest consumer market, eclipsing former leader France. The breakthrough K-beauty's success formula, rooted in the global K-content wave and lab-based innovation, has worked its magic worldwide, but it's the affordability and e-commerce factors that have propelled K-beauty onto mainstream American shelves. The online retail platform Amazon, unsurprisingly, is the prime stage for K-beauty brands, a gateway essential to nationwide popularity in the US. 'Many leading K-beauty brands have found success entering the US market through Amazon,' noted a Seoul-based cosmetics researcher, adding that their strong sales, fuelled by K-beauty's competitive pricing, have only further driven demand. Amazon reported that K-beauty sellers' net sales on its US platform jumped roughly 170% on-year last year, with the number of brands climbing to 230, a 1.4-fold increase over the past three years. Read more: 'Hyper-competitive, materialistic culture': Luxury fashion fuels K-pop hierarchy Success in online sales creates synergies with social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, where K-beauty builds familiarity and trust with consumers through viral videos. So much so that TikTok's e-commerce channel, TikTok Shop, has become a new space where brands like Medipeel and Anua now hold top spots. Outside the digital realm, Korean beauty has moved into a new phase of visibility, now stocked in major beauty retailers like Sephora and Ulta Beauty, and supermarket chains such as Walmart and Target. Widespread retail contact, however, is not enough to sustain the K-beauty hype if the products fail to deliver on their promised efficacy. 'K-beauty's ascent owes much to its deep understanding of American consumers and its agility in meeting their needs,' explained Kim Ju-duck, professor in the beauty industry department at Sungshin Women's University. 'It has been quick to deliver localised, high-quality products tailored to American preferences and skin types, while putting emphasis on clean formulations that resonate with sustainability-conscious consumers.' Famous examples include TirTir, whose 30-shade cushion compact appealed to a diverse range of skin tones, topping Amazon's US beauty sales last year. In skincare, Medicube has gained popularity for its collagen-boosting properties, while brands such as Cosrx and Anua stand out for star ingredients like snail secretion and heartleaf extract. Driving this growth in part are original design manufacturers, according to Kim, whose advanced development and production capabilities have enabled smaller Korean brands to scale rapidly. Customers sample cosmetics at a Korean beauty fair at Coex in southern Seoul. Photo: The Korea Herald/ ANN This marks a subtle yet profound shift in consumer behavior from brand loyalty to a product-first mindset, one industry observer noted. Regardless of brand size, more consumers, especially younger generations, are weighing product quality and price above top two ODMs, Kolmar Korea and Cosmax, both posted record-high sales last year at KRW2.45tril (RM7.58bil) and KRW2.16tril (RM6.68bil), respectively. Storied brands and contract manufacturers, which handle the bulk of production for smaller K-beauty brands, also remain well-prepared to meet US regulations, including stricter FDA registration, product listing and labelling requirements under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act. 'We have a dedicated team that monitors US regulations, including MoCRA and the FDA's requirements for over-the-counter drugs like sunscreens, to ensure compliance,' said a Cosmax official. US hurdles K-beauty's hard-won rise to prominence faces a looming challenge: a delayed 25% tariff set to hit on July 8, adding to the minimum 10% tariff already in place. In a bid to offset the impact, some firms are leveraging their existing capabilities, while others are eyeing market entry. Kolmar Korea is ramping up its US operations, with a second facility entering pilot operations in the second quarter of this year, complementing its existing factory in Pennsylvania. 'With the Trump administration's tariffs in play, we're seeing a rise in domestic brand inquiries for US-based production," a Kolmar official said. Once the second plant comes online, Kolmar Korea expects its local annual production capacity for sunscreens and basic skincare to nearly double from the current US180mil (RM763mil). Cosmax projected its sunscreen production in Korea and the US will more than triple this year, as four times as many clients plan to enter the US OTC sunscreen market. Cosmax's facility in New Jersey produces around 280 million units annually, accounting for 10% of the company's total production. Read more: K-pop stars now among the most highly anticipated celebrities at fashion weeks The move coincides with a tariff scare that, in April, sent US consumers into a buying spree for Korean sunscreens prized for their superior UV protection and seamless compatibility with layered makeup. South Korea's top two beauty giants, Amorepacific and LG Household & Health Care, are also stepping up their US operations. LG H&H announced in April a US$130mil (RM551mil) paid-in capital increase for its North American subsidiary in order to expand its product lineup and boost marketing initiatives. Amorepacific hinted at building its own US manufacturing facilities. In April, CEO Kim Seung-hwan told Bloomberg TV the company plans to invest in US logistics and modular production infrastructure within the next three to five years. Though the tariff situation may seem dire, some industry insiders are more concerned about the strong won against the dollar, which could drive up the prices of Korean imports in the US market. 'Tariffs strike far and wide, not just Korea, and for companies heavily dependent on exports, the won-dollar exchange rate could prove even more critical,' said one insider on condition of anonymity. They went on to describe a new chapter in which technological prowess will shape success in an increasingly personalised and segmented market for years to come: 'In fact, consumers' love for K-beauty is no longer about price alone." K-beauty brands are hardly running behind as they pursue rapid innovation in their products. At this year's CES in January, for instance, beauty powerhouses like Amorepacific, Kolmar Korea and APR showcased next-generation beauty tech, including AI-powered devices, as they charge forward into the tech-infused future. – The Korea Herald/ANN
