(Video) 'Dream Mother-In-Law': Netizens React To Tunku Azizah & Tengku Natasya's Sweet Interaction
If there's one thing to know about the Pahang royal family, it's that they are a lively and friendly bunch. They are also known for their humility when interacting with members of the public, particularly with those whom they have known for many years.
Her Majesty Tengku Ampuan Pahang Tunku Azizah has made headlines on numerous occasions for exactly these reasons. Recently, she went viral once again for simply being a loving mother-in-law to her son's wife. Here's the story:
During the recent Hari Raya Haji celebrations, the Pahang royal family visited the Tengku Ampuan Afzan Mosque to perform the Eid al-Adha prayers. His Royal Highness the Sultan of Pahang, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah, attended the prayers alongside Her Majesty Tengku Ampuan Pahang, Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah, and their sons Tengku Hassanal, Tengku Muhammad, and Tengku Ahmad.
While they were there for the Raya celebration, a touching moment between family members went viral. A video circulated on TikTok showing the former Queen of Malaysia happily greeting and hugging her daughter-in-law, Tengku Natasya Adnan, who is married to her son, Tengku Muhammad. In the same clip, the two were seen chatting at the mosque and greeting members of the public, with the princess affectionately linking arms with her mother-in-law.
The video quickly went viral, with netizens commenting on how fortunate Tengku Natasya is to have a loving and kind mother-in-law like Tunku Azizah. Others expressed joy at seeing the close and warm relationship shared between the two. Hopefully, we'll get to see more sweet and fun interactions in the future.

Moo-ving incentive: Cow is lucky draw grand prize at Guai fun run
BERA: The organiser of the inaugural 5km Guai state constituency fun run next month has announced that the lucky draw grand prize is a live cow. The bovine bonus has sparked significant interest in the fun run, with many people expressing their intention to join for a chance to bring the cow home. The event poster said the lucky draw grand prize winner will get a cow, while 20 other participants will get electrical goods and hampers. Netizens had a field day with the announcement. One commenter asked about the breed of the cow, while another quipped, "Alamak! Hari Raya Haji has passed!" Facebook user Emma Lynchey said: "Imagine the grand prize winner keeping it as a pet instead." Some comments were more serious, pointing out that a cow is a valuable commodity that can fetch a few thousand ringgit. The fun run organiser clarified to the New Straits Times that the cow image on the poster was for illustration purposes only. The July 5 fun run will be flagged off by Guai assemblyman and Pahang Social Welfare, Women, Family and Community Development Committee chairman Datuk Sabariah Saidan at the Kampung Seberang Guai multipurpose hall.

Monsters and memes: Labubu dolls ride China soft-power wave
SHANGHAI: Small, fuzzy and baring sharp teeth, Chinese toymaker Pop Mart's Labubu monster dolls have taken over the world, drawing excited crowds at international stores and adorning the handbags of celebrities such as Rihanna and Cher. Beijing-based Pop Mart is part of a rising tide of Chinese cultural exports gaining traction abroad, furry ambassadors of a "cool" China even in places associated more with negative public opinion of Beijing such as Europe and North America. Labubus, which typically sell for around US$40, are released in limited quantities and sold in "blind boxes", meaning buyers don't know the exact model they will receive. The dolls are "a bit quirky and ugly and very inclusive, so people can relate", interior designer Lucy Shitova told AFP at a Pop Mart store in London, where in-person sales of Labubus have been suspended over fears that fans could turn violent in their quest for the toys. "Now everything goes viral... because of social media. And yes, it's cool. It's different." While neighbouring East Asian countries South Korea and Japan are globally recognised for their high-end fashion, cinema and pop songs, China's heavily censored film and music industry have struggled to attract international audiences, and the country's best-known clothing exporter is fast-fashion website Shein. There have been few success stories of Chinese companies selling upmarket goods under their own brands, faced with stereotypes of cheap and low-quality products. "It has been hard for the world's consumers to perceive China as a brand-creating nation," the University of Maryland's Fan Yang told AFP. Pop Mart has bucked the trend, spawning copycats dubbed by social media users as "lafufus" and detailed YouTube videos on how to verify a doll's authenticity. Brands such as designer womenswear label Shushu/Tong, Shanghai-based Marchen and Beijing-based handbag maker Songmont have also gained recognition abroad over the past few years. "It might just be a matter of time before even more Chinese brands become globally recognisable," Yang said. Through viral exports like Labubu, China is "undergoing a soft-power shift where its products and image are increasingly cool among young Westerners," said Allison Malmsten, an analyst at China-based Daxue Consulting. Malmsten said she believed social media could boost China's global image "similar to that of Japan in the 80s to 2010s with Pokemon and Nintendo". Video app TikTok -- designed by China's ByteDance -- paved the way for Labubu's ascent when it became the first Chinese-branded product to be indispensable for young people internationally. Joshua Kurlantzick from the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) told AFP that "TikTok probably played a role in changing consumers' minds about China". TikTok, which is officially blocked within China but still accessible with VPN software, has over one billion users, including what the company says is nearly half of the US population. The app has become a focus of national security fears in the United States, with a proposed ban seeing American TikTok users flock to another Chinese app, Rednote, where they were welcomed as digital "refugees". A conduit for Chinese social media memes and fashion trends, TikTok hosts over 1.7 million videos about Labubu. Cultural exports can "improve the image of China as a place that has companies that can produce globally attractive goods or services", CFR's Kurlantzick told AFP. "I don't know how much, if at all, this impacts images of China's state or government," he said, pointing to how South Korea's undeniable soft power has not translated into similar levels of political might. While plush toys alone might not translate into actual power, the United States' chaotic global image under the Trump presidency could benefit perceptions of China, the University of Maryland's Yang said. "The connection many make between the seeming decline of US soft power and the potential rise in China's global image may reflect how deeply intertwined the two countries are in the minds of people whose lives are impacted by both simultaneously," she told AFP. At the very least, Labubu's charms appear to be promoting interest in China among the younger generation. "It's like a virus. Everyone just wants it," Kazakhstani mother-of-three Anelya Batalova told AFP at Pop Mart's theme park in Beijing. Qatari Maryam Hammadi, 11, posed for photos in front of a giant Labubu statue. "In our country, they love Labubu," she said. "So, when they realise that the origin of Labubu is in China, they'd like to come to see the different types of Labubu in China." - AFP

Woman finds live worms inside chicken sausage bun in JB
IMAGINE this — you pick up a chicken sausage bun on sale, planning to enjoy it for dinner. But at home, as you pierce the sausage, you spot worms wriggling inside. That's exactly what happened to TikTok user @c0qqu3teeeee, who purchased a Mayo Chicken Sausage Bun for RM5 from the bakery section of a hypermarket in Johor Bahru. In a five-second TikTok video that has since gone viral, she filmed the shocking sight: worms visibly moving inside the sausage. 'Luckily I peeled it first before eating,' she wrote in the caption. ALSO READ: M'sian horrified to find worms crawling in chocolate bar The unsettling video has since gained over 843,000 views and more than 1,700 comments, with Malaysian netizens expressing shock and disgust at the discovery. Many also urged her to return the item and request a refund. 'Go get a refund. These people like to play around with things like this. Even when the item can't be sold anymore, they still sell it,' commented PandaGy. Other users chimed in with similar experiences, especially when it came to discounted bread items. 'We also often buy bread that's on sale, and you really have to check carefully before buying. One time, I bought it and when I opened it, there were eggs inside. So now I don't buy it anymore — just stick to buying cooked daily meals,' wrote Shuhaahmad. 'I usually check the expiry date before buying but recently when I bought it, I got hard peanuts. It's usually okay, but after this, I'm definitely not buying it anymore,' said another user.
