FILA LOVE:ALL unite SEA creative voices in 'a celebration of play and inclusivity'
THINK of a game with zero rules, zero expectations and a whole lot of fun – that's the spirit behind FILA LOVE:ALL, a vibrant new collection that celebrates the joy of playing purely for the love of the game, says FILA Malaysia. The collection, launched last Saturday at Sunway Pyramid shopping mall in Petaling Jaya, is inspired by tennis where every match begins with 'love'. It reimagines sport as a canvas for creativity, connection and self-expression. At the heart of the collection are collaborations with three rising Southeast Asian artists: 'SoSo' by MonKiddo from Malaysia, 'Linh' by Bao Viet from Vietnam and 'MM' by Madeitwhendrunk (MIWD) from Thailand. Each introduces original characters that embody the freedom to express without limits. 'Their creations reflect the collection's core values: play, individuality and inclusivity. Together, the designs for this collection reflect one powerful message: 0 Rules, Just Play!' said FILA Malaysia. Malaysia's MonKiddo said: 'My creation, SoSo, is a colourful monster that encourages people to embrace their quirks and be themselves because that's what makes us amazing. With this collection, I hope people feel free to play, be loud, be weird and most importantly, be unapologetically themselves.' Meanwhile, BaoViet said: 'Sports and the arts are natural platforms for connection. My character, Linh blends traditional elements with a modern flair, symbolising cultural pride and freedom. I want to show that embracing our roots can be a powerful form of self-expression. It's about honouring where you come from, while boldly owning who you are today.' Thailand's MIWD said: 'MM is one of the 'Kikees', a series of surreal characters I created with drunk eyes and oversized mascot suits. They represent distorted versions of reality.' Adding to the celebration last Saturday was a special appearance by K-pop girl group KIIRAS, 'whose bold and mischievous identity embodies fearless energy and authentic self-expression'. 'Their presence brought an extra spark to the event, perfectly capturing the playful spirit of this collection. The group also shared their personal styling of the collection, highlighting how each look can be worn with confidence and creativity,' said FILA Malaysia. KIIRAS main rapper Ling Ling said: 'This new FILA LOVE:ALL collection feels personal to us. It is all about having fun and being yourself and that's exactly how we express ourselves on and off the stage. Most importantly, KIIRAS is made up of a girl group from different countries and backgrounds, but we share the same passion and love doing it together. That's how we connect. We love how LOVE:ALL brings us together through style, passion and movement.' The launch event was a vibrant celebration of creativity, connection and self-expression, bringing the campaign's playful spirit to life through a series of interactive activities and experiences. Guests were treated to an exclusive meet-and-greet session with the Southeast Asian artists MIWD and MonKiddo, offering a rare chance to engage with the talents behind the campaign's iconic characters. Guests could also express their own creativity through custom acrylic keychain stations and personalised scorecard activation, aligning with the Southeast Asian artist collection's theme of individuality. To enhance the experience, all guests were invited to explore four activation stations featuring the collection's character installations: the MIWD Photobooth, Monkiddo's Customised Key chain station, Bao Viet Customised scoreboard station, and the FILA LOVE:ALL photo booth to earn a free coffee. 'Those who completed the journey and purchased from the FILA LOVE: ALL Collection received an exclusive LOVE:ALL scarf. Every touchpoint reflected the LOVE:ALL spirit, where sport and art unite people and celebrate self-expression,' said FILA Malaysia. Also present at the launch were fashion-forward personalities Arena Wan, Syed Shafiq, Tammy Leong, Jackson Wong and Hayden Wong, adding even more colour and style to the celebration. The new FILA LOVE:ALL collection is now available at official FILA stores in Sunway Pyramid, Pavilion KL, Genting Sky Avenue, Mid Valley Southkey，CIOI City Mall, Putrajaya and FILA online. 'Follow us for more updates at @ and @filasoutheastasia. Capture the moments and share your favourite looks featuring the FILA LOVE:ALL using the hashtag #FILA #FILAMY #FILASEA #FILALoveAll #FILAxMONKIDDO #FILAxMIWD #FILAxBAOVIET .' PKIIRAS express their unique style through the FILA Love:All collection.

Chinese Streaming Platform iQIYI Appoints Dinesh As Senior MD For Malaysia
Chinese streaming giant iQIYI has appointed Dinesh Ratnam as Senior Managing Director for Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore, marking a strategic homecoming for the seasoned media and tech executive. Ratnam is set to lead iQIYI's operations across the three high-growth Southeast Asian markets, with a mandate to drive subscriber growth, deepen local content investment, forge strategic partnerships, and elevate brand engagement with audiences who are increasingly turning to Chinese and Asian entertainment. This marks Ratnam's return to iQIYI, where he previously played a pivotal role in launching and establishing the company's footprint in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Brunei as the Country Manager of these countries. He later rose to the role of Senior Director for International Business before departing in 2023 to lead Warner Music Group's operations in Malaysia and Singapore as the Managing Director. Ratnam said, 'This feels like a true homecoming. 'iQIYI has grown significantly over the years with a strong catalogue of Chinese dramas, Korean series, anime, and local productions. I'm excited to build on this momentum and tap into the immense creative potential of Southeast Asia. The demand for Asian content is at an all-time high, and we are well-positioned to deliver compelling stories that connect deeply with our audiences.' During his time at Warner Music, Ratnam led the label through a period of commercial success, with multiple hit releases, cross-border chart performance and success, and industry awards for their artists. Under his leadership, the company strengthened its role as a trusted partner for brands looking to integrate music into culturally relevant storytelling. With over 15 years of experience across the streaming, content, and technology sectors, Ratnam brings a unique blend of regional market expertise and global strategic insight. He has held senior roles at iflix, Catcha Group, and started his career in investment banking with J.P. Morgan in London and San Francisco, advising on over US$25 billion worth of transactions in the technology, media, and telecommunications space. His appointment comes at a time of renewed growth for iQIYI in Southeast Asia, bolstered by recent strategic partnerships such as its collaboration with Telkomsel in Indonesia, and long-standing alliances with Astro, CelcomDigi, and Media Prima in Malaysia.

#SHOWBIZ: My Chemical Romance sells out 2nd day concert in just a few hours
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian fans of legendary US rock band My Chemical Romance have secured a historic two nights of concerts after tickets for a second Kuala Lumpur show sold out in just a few hours today. Initially, the band had announced a single performance on April 30, 2026 at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium, here, as part of their "Long Live The Black Parade" global tour. However, a stunning fan response saw the first night's tickets snapped up in a mere 90 minutes when they went on sale on July 11. This left thousands of fans disappointed and hoping for another chance. Their prayers were answered when a second date was announced for May 1, 2026. Tickets for this additional show went on sale today (Aug 1) and were completely sold out within a few hours. This remarkable achievement means MCR will now play to an expected total audience of 120,000 across both nights at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium. This phenomenal demand has made Kuala Lumpur the only Southeast Asian stop on the tour to host back-to-back shows. The two consecutive concerts also set a new record for the largest audience MCR has ever played to in the region. The promoter, Hello Universe, expressed their gratitude to the Malaysian fanbase for making this happen. In an Instagram post, they celebrated the milestone, saying, "We are officially sold out! Thank you, Malaysia. We made history together. See you in 2026!" The comments section was mostly filled with thrilled fans who had a smoother experience of obtaining the tickets online this time. "This time it's peaceful. Only thing is, I wanted to ask if there'll be a kiss cam, haha," wrote one netizen, while another added, "This is how it should be done, so scalpers can't do their crazy work." "Congratulations to those who got tickets and got access smoothly!" wrote one more. Another added, "Queue. Select seating and payment. So smooth. Uncle Gerard see you in May 2026!" The historic concerts will not only be a highlight of the Visit Malaysia Year 2026 campaign but will also be a first for the Bukit Jalil National Stadium, which has never before hosted two full-scale international concerts on consecutive nights. Besides Malaysia, MCR is scheduled to perform in South Korea, Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, and Indonesia. The New Jersey rock outfit, which formed in 2001, was last in town for a concert back in December 2007, as part of their 'The Black Parade Tour'.
