[Watch] [Photos] When 1664 Met CLOT: A Weekend That Redefined Cool In KL
Subscribe to our FREE There's something magical about watching a brand partnership come to life exactly as it should. Last weekend, 1664 and CLOT's Bon Appétit-lah celebration at TRX's Raintree Plaza was one of those rare moments where everything just clicked – and the nearly 6,800 people who showed up seemed to feel it too. Walking into the plaza, you immediately knew this wasn't going to be another forgettable brand event. The massive circular LED installation hung suspended above the crowd like a beacon, casting that signature 1664 blue glow across faces that were genuinely lit up with excitement. Against KL's glittering skyline, it felt like the city had gained a new landmark, even if just for the weekend. When Production Meets Purpose What was striking at first wasn't just the scale, though the photos certainly capture the impressive setup; it was how naturally everything flowed together. The stage didn't dominate the space; it invited people in while the branding felt intentional rather than overwhelming, creating this cohesive world where French elegance met street culture authenticity. You could see it in how people moved through the space. Groups of friends discovering new corners, couples finding perfect photo spots that didn't feel forced, and strangers bonding over shared appreciation for the limited-edition pieces. The crowd itself became part of the experience, with each person contributing to the energy rather than merely consuming it. A Collaboration That Actually Made Sense CLOT's influence was everywhere, but never in a way that felt heavy-handed. The streetwear aesthetic naturally flowed through the evening – vintage caps catching the stage lights, oversized silhouettes creating interesting shadows, and that effortless style that both brands understand so well. The merchandise area buzzed with genuine interest throughout both nights. People weren't just grabbing freebies; they were examining pieces, discussing the design details, appreciating the thoughtful way two distinct brand languages had been merged into something fresh. Those ceramic tumblers? They became instant conversation starters, beautiful enough that you'd actually want to use them at home. Throughout both nights, 1664 and 1664 Brut flowed freely – served both in bottles and on draft – ensuring that the French brewing heritage remained at the heart of every toast, every conversation, and every moment of connection that made this collaboration so memorable. Two Nights, Two Different Energies Friday evening with the German DJ duo The crowd built organically, conversations flowing as easily as the beer, everyone settling into the weekend's rhythm. You can see it in the photos – relaxed smiles, natural poses, people genuinely enjoying themselves without trying too hard. Saturday brought a different intensity altogether. When Taiwanese singer It was festival energy contained within the heart of KL's business district. Beyond the Beer The East-meets-French food concept proved that attention to detail extends beyond the main event. From luxurious shrimp ramen topped with vibrant orange roe to artisanal sandwiches featuring fresh cucumber, pickled radish, and premium cuts on perfectly golden brioche – every dish told the story of two cultures meeting in delicious harmony. Watching people genuinely excited about fusion dishes, taking time to savour flavours rather than just grabbing whatever was available, reinforced that this was about creating a complete cultural experience. Every element supported the others – the food complemented the drinks, the music enhanced the atmosphere, and the merchandise felt like natural extensions of the evening rather than afterthoughts. Olga Pulyaeva, Marketing Director of Carlsberg Malaysia, said the response to Bon Appétit-lah this year has been phenomenal. Our collaboration with CLOT brought a fresh dimension to how people experience beer culture in Malaysia, blending French brewing heritage with street-smart edge in ways that resonated deeply with our audience. The Story Continues The 1664 Blue Hour is now making its way to 30 outlets nationwide through June and July, bringing pieces of the weekend's magic to a wider audience. Those coveted CLOT collaboration pieces and ceramic tumblers are still available with 1664 purchases – tangible reminders of a weekend when everything came together perfectly. This collaboration shows what's possible when brands stop playing it safe and start creating genuine cultural moments. 1664 and CLOT didn't just throw a party – they crafted an experience that people will remember, talk about, and want to be part of again. All activities for non-Muslims aged 21 and above. Celebrate responsibly – the memories are worth remembering clearly. Share your thoughts with us via TRP's .

A new A24 comedy investigates that very question. Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd star in 'Friendship,' which is now streaming on-demand on Prime Video. The surreal dark comedy follows Craig Waterman (Robinson), a socially awkward loner who falls hard (in friendship-love) with his new neighbor, TV weatherman Austin (Rudd). Austin is initially warm and welcoming, but Craig's attempt to 'make an adult male friend' quickly spirals into something much more dangerous, with the power to ruin both of their lives. 'Friendship' is a lot more than it seems to be on the surface, and it's a perfect post-Father's Day watch for fans of Robinson's particular brand of cringe comedy.

How to watch 'Friendship' on Prime Video: 'Friendship' is available for digital purchase on Prime Video.

Trump Touts His Conflict Resolution Skills, Calls for Iran Israel Deal
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. President Donald Trump, who champions an "America First" ideology and policy approach, touted his ability to cool international conflicts and cited several high-profile agreements and diplomatic breakthroughs he made across both of his presidencies in a Truth Social post on Sunday. The post called for a deal between Iran and Israel, who have exchanged rocket fire in recent days following Israel's attack on Tehran and several other cities. Since the 1979 Iranian Revolution, Iran and Israel have severed diplomatic ties and maintained a hostile relationship, marked by proxy conflicts and direct strikes. Why It Matters The Make America Great Again (MAGA) president has campaigned on and prioritized domestic policy but is also known for getting involved in international agreements. Trump often touts that no major wars began during his first term, however, the U.S. did still engage in military operations at that time, such as in Syria. On the campaign trail, he frequently said this in contrast to his then-political opponent, former President Joe Biden, under whose Oval Office tenure Russia launched a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine and the Palestinian militant group Hamas conducted a deadly attack on Israel, prompting a large-scale Israeli military response that has lasted 20 months, decimated Gaza, and killed over 55,000 Palestinians, according to the Associated Press. While the U.S. has helped mediate talks in the region, Trump has also implemented travel bans that disproportionately affect several countries in the Middle East. Alongside his political dealings, he has maintained business interests in the region notably through The Trump Organization, which some critics have warned pose conflicts of interest. What To Know While Trump has only been back in office for about five months, his first term was marked by involvement in several international agreements. In his Sunday morning Truth Social post, Trump said that Iran and Israel "will make a deal." He added: "We will have PEACE, soon, between Israel and Iran! Many calls and meetings now taking place." Although the second Trump administration has been involved in talks with Iran, no formal diplomacy has come out of it. The conversations follow years of strained, distrusting relations between the U.S. and Iran, which intensified after Trump withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) during his first term. The U.S. is Israel's closest ally, providing billions of dollars in military aid annually. In the most recent escalation, U.S. missile defense systems helped intercept retaliatory missiles from Tehran to Israel. Israeli strikes in Iran have killed over 400 people, according to the AP. In his Sunday post, Trump pointed to several international conflicts in which he claims to have played a key role in resolving, such as that he brought "peace" to the long-running dispute between Egypt and Ethiopia over a massive dam on the Nile River, a vital water and energy source for the region. While the United States helped facilitate negotiations over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) during Trump's first term—and Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia appeared close to reaching a deal—Ethiopia ultimately declined to sign a formal agreement. Negotiations have largely been stalled in recent years. Abraham Accords The Abraham Accords, signed in 2020, normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations, including United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, and Morocco. Sudan later joined in 2021. The U.S.-brokered normalization agreements were pushed by Trump's then-senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner. However, most other Arab countries still demand an independent Palestinian state based on the borders before the 1967 Middle East War, with East Jerusalem as its capital, before considering normalization. The Trump administration has sought to expand the accords to incorporate Lebanon, Syria, and Saudi Arabia, although that remains unlikely with Israel's ongoing military campaign in Gaza and now in Iran. The Abraham Accords have often been regarded as Trump's biggest foreign policy achievement. Kushner founded the Abraham Accords Peace Institute shortly after, which has since been absorbed by The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.

More AP Photo/Alex Brandon Kosovo-Serbia Economic Normalization In his Sunday Truth Social post, Trump pointed to his efforts with Kosovo and Serbia, writing "during my first term, Serbia and Kosovo were going at it hot and heavy, as they have for many decades, and this long time conflict was ready to break out into WAR." The Kosovo War ended in 1999, but tensions between Kosovo and Serbia remained tense and instable for the following decades. Serbia does not recognize Kosovo as a separate state, which declared its independence in 2008. The Washington Agreement, signed in 2020, marked a U.S.-brokered effort to normalize economic ties between Kosovo and Serbia after years of stalled negotiations. While not a formal treaty, the deal included infrastructure, trade, and diplomatic commitments aimed at easing regional tensions and fostering cooperation. U.S.–Taliban Doha Agreement Signed in 2020, the U.S.–Taliban agreement committed the U.S. to gradually withdraw all troops from Afghanistan, while the Taliban pledged to prevent terrorist groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS from operating on Afghan soil. The agreement laid the groundwork for the full U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, carried out under Biden. The withdrawal, and the chaos that accompanied it, drew sharp criticism from many Americans. A bombing at Kabul's airport during the evacuation killed 13 U.S. service members and more than 170 Afghans. Thousands of Afghan allies, including interpreters who supported U.S. forces, were left behind in a country swiftly overtaken by the Taliban. Earlier this month, Trump suspended the issuance of new visas to Afghan nationals and moved to terminate Temporary Protected Status for some Afghans already in the U.S. India-Pakistan Ceasefire Trump compared an Israel Iran deal to the recent India Pakistan ceasefire in his Sunday Truth Social post. In May, India and Pakistan exchanged cross-border strikes in a sharp escalation that raised fears of war between the two nuclear-armed nations. Trump claimed in a Truth Social post that he had mediated a "full and immediate ceasefire." Pakistan acknowledged the U.S. role in helping to de-escalate tensions, while India downplayed Trump's involvement and denied that trade incentives played a part in the truce. Trump reiterated his stance in the Sunday Truth Social post saying, "...just like I got India and Pakistan to make, in that case by using TRADE with the United States to bring reason, cohesion, and sanity into the talks with two excellent leaders who were able to quickly make a decision and STOP!" What Happens Next? While Trump has called for an Iran Israel deal, it remains unlikely the two will come together. Trump wrote in a Saturday social media post that the U.S. "had not nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight." Iran has said it believes the U.S. is involved. Israeli officials have reportedly asked the Trump administration to join in on efforts to attack Iran, with Iran's nuclear program having long been a focal point of U.S. and Israeli concern. Tehran insists its efforts are solely for energy purposes. Trump talked to ABC News' Rachel Scott on Sunday about the matter, saying, "We're not involved in it. It's possible we could get involved. But we are not at this moment involved." Meanwhile, Israel struck Tehran again on Sunday, raising the death toll to over 400. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Sunday that if Israel continues to strike across Iran, the Islamic republic would launch "more painful and crushing responses," according to the government-linked Mehr news agency.

AN ONLINE shooter game played by 10million at its peak will disappear from two popular consoles in a matter of days. Developers behind the title want to focus on newer platforms, meaning it will shut down on some older devices. 2 Shooter title had 10million players at its peak Credit: Nexon 2 But it will close on two consoles very soon Credit: Nexon As such, affected players will have to bite the bullet and pay to upgrade their console if they desperately wish to continue playing. The game in question is It first burst onto the scene last July on Windows PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One. But almost one year on, and Xbox One and PS4 owners will be shut out. Read more about games Producer Beom-Jun Lee said the move was going ahead with "much reluctance". But studio Nexon says it was needed to make the game even better with its next "mega season update". There is one reassuring bit of news to come out of the shake-up. Affected players can carry over their account details to any of other platform, so they need not lose everything. Most read in Gaming The all-important date all users need to note is June 19 for the switch off. Gamers have had mixed feelings about the upcoming overhaul.

A third added: "I feel sad for PS4 players but its a 12 year old machine its time to jump on ps5, last generation is hold this current generation of games back." WHY DO GAMES NEED TO CLOSE DOWN? By Jamie Harris, Assistant Technology and Science Editor at The Sun With most games online these days, tech companies need to maintain quite hefty servers to manage everything. It's no cheap business to operate with millions of gamers across the world. Naturally, people move on, leaving older games behind in the process. There comes a point where it's no longer viable to continue offering server access so studios shut them down. For some games that are entirely online this can render it completely useless. But others may have a way for you to continue playing solo still. You should usually see a prominent notification in the game warning you with instructions on what to do - provided you're still playing the game of course.
