I got bullied from school and workplace, What should I do, I need help - Statistic of School bullying and cyberbullying cases are getting high & critical in Malaysia

6/21/2026

Author: Kyzson

Children are the future of our nation. How can any nation truly prosper when its youngest generation lives in fear?

How I ended up writing this, I'm not entirely sure. Maybe it's God's arrangement, or perhaps I've been avoiding to share my inner voice about it for a long time.

Every month or year, we hear stories about cyberbullying and school bullying. Those are the cases serious enough to make the headlines. But what about the countless others that never reach the media?

My son is about 3 years old, and he means the world to me. Watching him smile, laugh, and constantly seek attention fills me with joy. At the same time, it makes me worry... VERY WORRY. What if one day all of that changes? What if he comes home with bruises, crying, his face filled with fear?

Frankly speaking, I was a victim of bullying as well. I consider myself "lucky" because my experience never became severe enough to make the news. I was fortunate enough to fight back and not completely surrender to being bullied in silence to those cibais. But that's a story for another day. As I think more about my son's future, I find myself paying closer attention to bullying issues. In the past, I would see such news and simply scroll away.

Now, I invest time to read the articles and pay attention to what reporters and communities are saying about this issues. And somehow my college out of nowhere recommend us to what this particular show call - TEACH YOU A LESSONS 10/10.

I wouldn't say that the authorities or the government are not doing their jobs. However, their efforts often seem quieter than the noise surrounding viral food trends, memes, influencers chasing views, entrepreneurs creating TikTok skits, people handing out money on the streets for content, online gurus posting Instagram carousels, and influencers dancing for attention.

Bullying affects lives. It shapes childhoods. ( I know that 1srt hand) In some cases, it leaves scars that remain long after the bruises disappear. Yet it often feels like the conversation around it is not loud enough.

Perhaps the problem isn't that nobody cares. Perhaps it's that too many of us only pay attention when a tragedy becomes impossible to ignore.

Malaysia's School Bullying Crisis: What the Numbers Really Show

Bullying cases in Malaysian schools have risen sharply over the past five years, peaking in 2024 before showing the first signs of decline. Behind the statistics is a national reckoning sparked by tragedy, a new law, and a growing conversation about who is responsible for keeping children safe. Here is what the verified data shows, and where to turn if you or someone you know needs help.

The Numbers: 2021–2025

According to figures presented by the Ministry of Education (MOE) in the Dewan Rakyat, bullying cases in government schools climbed dramatically over four years:

2021: 326 cases
2022: 3,887 cases
2023: 6,528 cases
2024: 7,681 cases — the highest on record, made up of 5,689 secondary school cases and 1,992 primary school cases
2025: 5,038 cases — the first year-on-year decline since 2021

The 2024 figures were confirmed by then-Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek in Parliament, and reconfirmed by Bernama in a follow-up report in early 2026. The 2025 figures come from a written parliamentary reply reported by Free Malaysia Today (FMT) in February 2026.

It's worth noting that the exact primary-secondary split for 2025 is reported inconsistently across outlets (FMT and Bernama present different breakdowns), so while the overall decline is well-supported, the granular split should be treated with some caution.

Education officials have offered an important caveat: the sharp rise from 2021 to 2024 likely reflects better detection and reporting, not only a worsening of student behavior. This doesn't make the numbers less serious, but it does shape how we should interpret the trend.

Who Is Affected (KENA) Most

Secondary school students bear the brunt of reported bullying, accounting for nearly three times as many cases as primary school students in 2024.

This pattern is consistent with broader research: a 2022 Adolescent Health Survey by the Ministry of Health, which surveyed 33,523 students across 239 schools, found that 8.6% of secondary students reported being bullied. The most common forms were:

Mocking a student's appearance (26.7%)
Sexual jokes or comments (16%)
Social exclusion (13%)

Cyberbullying is a significant and growing layer of the problem. A 2023 study by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) found that 1 in 3 secondary students experienced cyberbullying, and more than half of them never reported it, largely out of fear of retaliation or not being believed.

Globally, Malaysia ranked 2nd in Asia for youth cyberbullying according to UNICEF data from 2020, underlining that this is not an isolated national issue but part of a wider regional pattern.

The Case That Changed the Conversation

In July 2025, the death of 13-year-old Zara Qairina Mahathir in Sabah became a national flashpoint. The case, which received extensive coverage from outlets including the South China Morning Post, Malay Mail, and was documented on Wikipedia, intensified public pressure on the government to act.

In response, Malaysia introduced tougher legal consequences for bullying under Section 507D of the Penal Code, with penalties of up to 10 years in prison. The law took effect in March 2025 and represents one of the most significant legislative responses to school bullying in the country's history.

Why This Matters Beyond Schools

While the conversation often centers on schoolchildren, bullying and harassment don't stop at graduation. The same patterns of intimidation, exclusion, and fear of reporting show up in workplaces. Anyone experiencing harassment at work is encouraged to review their company's anti-harassment policy and reach out to HR, just as a student would turn to a teacher or counselor.

In any setting, documentation matters. Keeping a record of dates, times, and specific comments or actions creates a clear account that can support a formal complaint or, if necessary, a police report. If personal safety is ever at risk, contacting the police should not be delayed.

What Can Be Done?

Change doesn't rest on one group alone. Parents, teachers, school counselors, friends, and even social media influencers with platforms reaching young people all have a role in shifting the culture around bullying.

Experts also recommend practical safety steps: avoiding isolated areas at school or in the community, being mindful of social media exposure, and not waiting until a situation escalates before acting. The first time bullying happens is the right time to respond, not after it has continued for weeks or months.

Where to Get Help in Malaysia

Befrienders Sabah - Talian Telefon (Panggilan/WhatsApp): 082-242 800

My Final Take and 2Cents

Bullying fuels a "sick nation" by normalizing abuse, eroding mental health, and fracturing societal trust. Education is always the path to building a child's future, and that future carries a ripple effect that touches everyone around them.

I believe we are not doing enough. Or perhaps the problem has always been there, and we have simply chosen to look away.

Speaking from personal experience, my parents loved me deeply and provided everything I needed. But they were busy providing for the family, and they trusted the system to educate me and other kids. That system failed me and the asshole whole make my secondary school experience taste bad, but the good news is form I have the best year tho.

Anyway, regardless of how good or bad any system is, I firmly believe that HOME is always the foundation. It is where children first learn how to behave, how to treat others, and how to respond to the world around them.

Why is pasar malam or bazaar food getting more expensive, less healthy, and starting to look all the same? Who is Responsible?

6/18/2026

Author: Kyzson

You've felt it. You walk into your local Pasar Malam or Bazaaar expecting the same affordable chaos you grew up with — and instead you're paying RM8 for something that used to cost RM3. The stalls look the same. The food looks the same. Goreng pisang here, ayam goreng there, the same 6 dishes repeated down the entire lane. And yet the prices keep climbing every single bloody year.

People think, selling at pasar malam is easy... Issit?

The problem: mostly same food, rising prices

Every pasar malam smells the same. Goreng pisang, ayam goreng, mee goreng. The menu rarely changes, but the price tag does, every single year.

According to Malaysia's Department of Statistics (DOSM), chicken satay jumped 113.7% in price between 2011 and 2024, from RM0.51 to RM1.09 per stick. Nasi lemak rose 81.3% in the same period, hitting RM3.68 in 2024. For comparison, Malaysia's overall inflation rate over that 13-year span was just 28.7%. Night market food isn't just getting more expensive, it's outpacing inflation by close to 3 times.

Source: DOSM Consumer Price Index 2024

The Inflation Numbers

According to DOSM's Consumer Price Index report, Malaysia's headline inflation sat at a modest 1.8% in 2024. But everyday street food tells a very different story.

Nasi lemak rose 81.3 percent over 13 years.
Roti canai climbed 71.1 percent, from RM0.90 to RM1.54.
Plain white rice rose 73.7 percent.

Some ingredients spiked even harder, like cockles, which jumped 400%. These aren't isolated incidents. They reflect a structural shift in what it actually costs to put food on a banana leaf in this country.

System 404 Error

Before a vendor earns a single ringgit, they've already paid through several layers of cost that customers never see. There's the land bid fee paid to secure a spot, often controlled by local councils or organisers.

There's the event organiser's markup on top of that. There's tent and equipment rental. Then finally there's the actual cost of ingredients, labour, and licensing etc.

According to industry discussions and reporting from outlets like Eurasia Review, street vendors already operate on razor thin margins, and rising ingredient costs driven by supply chain disruptions and currency fluctuations only squeeze them further. By the time the price reaches you, it has already passed through several hands taking a cut.

The Cost Stack Goes Deeper and Deeper and Deeper

It isn't just 1 markup. It's 5 layers stacked on top of each other before the food even touches a wok. Bidding wars for prime locations push rental costs up. Tentage and setup companies charge for their services.

Organisers need to earn something too, since they're managing the whole event. And vendors, sitting at the bottom of that chain, absorb rising ingredient costs from global supply issues and a weaker ringgit, with very little room left to cushion the blow.

According to TradingEconomics data, food away from home inflation hit 4.4 percent in September 2025, a meaningful jump for an industry already running thin.

How about The Health Numbers?

Here's the part most people skip past. According to the National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2023, conducted by Malaysia's Ministry of Health, 54.4% of Malaysian adults are now overweight or obese. That's up from roughly 44% in 2011.

Diabetes affects 15.6% of adults, or 3.55 million people. Research published in peer reviewed journals also found that around 30% of Malaysian street food is deep fried, and that fried noodle dishes can carry over 2,000mg of sodium (WTF) per serving, far above recommended daily limits in a single plate.

"Survival" Food Has other Delayed Bill~

Due to survival and chase of taste. The low price you pay at the stall isn't the full cost. Researchers studying Malaysian street food have advised vendors not to reuse cooking oil more than twice, because repeated heating breaks the oil down and produces compounds linked to health risks. In practice, busy stalls reuse oil far more than that to control costs.

You're not just paying RM5 for fried chicken. You're paying RM5 now, and quietly deferring a second, much larger bill to your future self, one that shows up as a doctor's visit instead of a receipt.

My Final Take and 2Cents

I tell you all of this does not means you should stop going Pasar malam. This bazaar or pasar malam is part of Malaysian culture and community life, not just a place to eat. The fix isn't avoidance, it's awareness. Choose grilled over deep fried when you can. Order teh o kosong instead of teh tarik loaded with air potong kaki.

Treat lah pasar malam food as an occasional indulgence rather than a daily meal plan. And don't be afraid to ask a vendor what ingredient they're using if your SUS. You have every right to know what's going into your food and also remember go vote for next election for better PASAR MALAM!

81% of buyers at exhibitions already have money to spend.

Your best buyers might not find you online.

Ads can't replicate that. Exhibitions can, it's another benchmark of exposure.

Digital advertising reaches many but it rarely builds the trust that closes a deal. The handshake, the eye contact, the live product demo: these are conversion tools that no algorithm can replace.

After finish reading this post, you'll know exactly when to exhibit.

Be visitor before becoming Exhibitor

Walking the floor as a visitor is the single highest-ROI preparation step any Malaysian business can take before committing to a boot

What draws visitors in?
What layouts convert?
Understand what they're actually looking for?
This one step prevents costly misalignment
How the Exhibitor's Staff Perform to Attract

The wrong EVENT will drain your budget fast.

Not all exhibitions are created equal. Before you book, run this three-point check:

Past Visitor Numbers
Is the footfall large enough to justify your investment? Look for verified attendance data from previous editions.

Buyer Profile Match
Are the visitors actually your customers? Industry, seniority, and purchasing power all matter.

Competitor Presence
Do your competitors exhibit here? If yes, your buyers are already in the room. That's validation — not a threat

If all 3 match, book it. If they don't, please I beg you to walk away 1st.

38% Cheaper to convert a trade show lead vs a cold sales call

Exhibitions are not a cost instead they're your cheapest qualified sales channel.

When you meet a buyer at a trade show, they've already self-selected. They showed up. They're interested. The cost-per-conversion drops dramatically compared to outbound cold calling or digital retargeting.

A Small booth might outperforms a Big one.

The most common mistake Malaysian exhibitors make is equating booth size with results. A 111/9LJ RM10,000 - RM30,000 well-targeted booth at the right show will consistently outperform a RM100,000 - RM200,000 premium space at the wrong venue. This is real case real scenario.

Audience Fit
The #1 driver of exhibition ROI. Above booth size, design, or location

Message Clarity
A focused small booth with a clear offer converts better than a sprawling display with no hook

The Path: Local → National → International.

The businesses that win at international exhibitions didn't start there. They built the foundation system first.

Local SME Fair
Start here. Low cost, low risk. Master your booth setup, messaging, and lead capture process.

National Show (MIHAS / SIAL)
Scale up with confidence. Apply what you learned. Meet buyers from across Malaysia and the region.

International Exhibition
Go global with a proven system. Your booth, your pitch, and your follow-up process are already battle-tested.

My Final Take and 2Cents

Not every exhibition is worth joining. Focus on events where your target customers, buyers, or decision-makers are actively attending. Before investing, evaluate.

For first-time exhibitors, consider attending as a visitor before committing to a booth. Observe the crowd quality, exhibitor engagement, and overall event performance.

Key takeaway: Don't choose an exhibition based on visitor numbers alone, choose it based on business opportunities and potential ROI. If you are not ready don't force.

How to hire the Best Performer, Emcee & Magician for your Event? How they Charge? Why Magician is Important for Event Organizer?

6/15/2026

0 Comments

Author: Kyzson

Whether you're planning a birthday party in a corporate dinner in KL, or a roadshow across Malaysia, the right choice depends on understanding 3 things: the style of magic, the scale of your event, and your realistic budget range.

This guide helps you match the right magician style to your event type and budget, so that your Budget evaporate like "magic".

Is a Magician Right for Your Event?

Not every event needs a magician and booking one for the wrong setting is how budgets get wasted.
Here's a simple way to think about it: magic works best when your guests have time and space to be surprised. It needs an audience that is relaxed, present, and open to being entertained.

Events where a magician works exceptionally well:

Birthday parties (kids and adults)
Corporate dinners and Dinner & Dance events (D&D)
Product launches and roadshows
Trade show booths
Wedding cocktail receptions
Family carnivals and festivals
Client appreciation events
Team-building activities

The key question is not "can we fit a magician in?" but rather "will our guests have the headspace to enjoy this?" If the answer is yes, the returns are real. Research from Funny Business Agency shows that product launches with live entertainment see 30 -40 % higher social media engagement, and training sessions with entertainment elements increase information retention by up to 25%.

LIST OF MALAYSIA MAGICIANS

The 6 Styles of Magic, What Makes Each One Different

Actually there more, but here lets focus the most well-known 1st. Most people think "magician" is one thing. It isn't. There are at least six distinct styles, each built on a completely different skill set, atmosphere, and audience type. Knowing which style fits your event is the most important decision you'll make before booking.

Mentalist
A mentalist focuses on psychological illusions - mind-reading, telepathy, and seemingly impossible knowledge of personal details. Rather than visual tricks, mentalists "influence" decisions and reveal personal information to create an unsettling, inexplicable experience. This style suits corporate dinners, executive events, and adult-only occasions where the audience appreciates something cerebral and sophisticated.

Best for: Corporate dinners, adult private events, executive functions

Illusionists
They are the grand-scale performers, the ones with elaborate props, assistants, trapdoors, and theatrical lighting. They specialize in large-scale spectacles, such as making objects appear or disappear, levitating assistants, or escaping from perilous situations. This style demands a proper stage, crew, and significant budget, but delivers the most visually unforgettable impact of any magic style.

Best for: Dinner & Dance events, gala evenings, large corporate showcases

Comedy Magician (My favorite Kind)
This is the crowd-pleaser category. Comedy magicians weave classic magic tricks with witty humor, props, and heavy audience interaction. They are crowd favourites for parties and family-friendly events. If your goal is to get people laughing, talking, and feeling comfortable especially in mixed-age groups, a comedy magician is often your safest and most satisfying choice.

Best for: Birthday parties, family events, office celebrations, team-building days.

Sleight of Hand / Micro-Magic
This is up-close, intimate magic performed in your hands, at your table, within arm's reach. Sleight-of-hand artists spend years perfecting manual dexterity. This category includes "Cardicians", performers who focus entirely on the artistic manipulation of playing cards. This style works best as roving entertainment during cocktail hours or networking sessions, where the magician moves from group to group creating personalized moments.

Best for: Cocktail receptions, networking events, trade show floors, wedding receptions

Escapologist
A niche but high-impact style. Escapologists specialize in freeing themselves from restraints, straitjackets, chains, or locked, water-filled containers. Think Houdini. This style is a spectacle that commands full attention from a large crowd. It works as a centerpiece act at outdoor festivals, roadshows, or anywhere you need to stop a crowd in its tracks.

Best for: Outdoor events, festivals, roadshows, large public activations.

Tech Magician
The newest and fastest-growing style. Tech magicians integrate modern technology into their routines — using iPads, mobile apps, or artificial intelligence to perform illusions. This style is ideal for technology companies, product launches for digital products, and any brand that wants to signal innovation and modernity.

Best for: Tech product launches, innovation showcases, startup events, digital brand activations

Can Be subjective base on Few Criteria

Pricing varies based on the type of magic performance and the seniority of the magician. Magicians specializing in corporate dinner and dance events charge the most, given the large number of attendees within ballroom settings.

⚠️ Disclosure: These are indicative ranges, not guaranteed quotes. Always request a formal proposal from your chosen performer or agency.

⚠️ Estimated rates — derived from Singapore SGD benchmarks (experiencemagic.com.sg), adjusted ~35% for Malaysia market. Always request a formal quote from your performer.

Event Type	Style Recommended	Estimated Rate (MY)
Kids birthday party	Comedy Magician	Budget RM 300 – RM 600
Adult private / wedding cocktail	Sleight of Hand	Budget – Mid RM 600 – RM 1,200
Corporate networking / cocktail	Sleight of Hand Mentalist	Mid RM 800 – RM 1,800
Corporate stage show (D&D / gala)	Illusionist Mentalist	Mid – Premium RM 1,500 – RM 4,000
Roadshow / trade show activation	Comedy Magician Tech Magician	Mid RM 1,000 – RM 3,000
Grand illusion / full stage production	Illusionist Escapologist	Premium RM 4,000 – RM 10,000+

Source note: Malaysia-specific rate data is not publicly standardised. Ranges estimated using Singapore SGD benchmarks (experiencemagic.com.sg), adjusted ~35% for Malaysia's cost-of-living differential, cross-referenced with gigsmore.com and recommend.my. Rates vary by performer experience, event size, duration, and customisation.

What affects the rate?
Several factors determine what a magician charges: event size (larger crowds mean more work), performance duration (30, 60, or 90 minutes changes the rate significantly), and experience level (years of practice separate newer performers from seasoned professionals).

Additional cost factors specific to Malaysia:

Travel — performers based in KL may add surcharges for events in Penang, Johor Bahru, or East Malaysia
Customization — branded props, company logos integrated into tricks, or bespoke routines cost more
Equipment — illusion shows requiring sound systems, lighting, and crew members are priced higher
Booking lead time — last-minute bookings over peak periods (CNY, Hari Raya, year-end) attract premium rates

Why Events Benefit from Hiring a Magician?

The business case for live magic is stronger than most event planners realize. It goes well beyond "entertainment."

It drives audience engagement
Professional magicians boost audience participation by up to 20% and improve brand recall by up to 15%. In a world where attendees are glued to their phones during presentations, a magician forces genuine attention.

It makes your event memorable and value added (More Showoff)
The element of surprise and the thrill of the unexpected that come with magic performances keep the audience on their toes. When a magician performs, everyone in the room becomes part of the magic — whether through interactive tricks or acts that unfold in the spectators' own hands.

It breaks social barriers
Magic helps break down the social barriers that exist in corporate settings. It allows guests to engage with one another in a more relaxed and fun manner. A great way to encourage networking and promote conversations that might not happen otherwise.

It boosts trade show performance
Companies using magicians at trade shows report 60% more booth traffic compared to booths without live entertainment. In a crowded exhibition hall, a performer draws a crowd that static displays simply cannot.

It satisfies employees (Work like horse already, atleast let them enjoy lah)
92% of employees report higher job satisfaction when companies host quality holiday and appreciation events. A well-chosen entertainer signals that the company values its people — and that goodwill carries beyond the event itself.

Do Malaysian Magicians / Performers Earn Good Money?

This is one of the most searched questions and the honest answer is: it depends enormously on their level, niche, experience, recognition and hustle.

For context, global benchmarks show:
Side-hustle magicians who occasionally perform at birthday parties, small weddings, and restaurants typically earn between $200 and $1,000 per event. Full-time performers range significantly, from $50,000 up to $250,000 annually

A variance that depends heavily on market, branding, networking (KABLE), and unique skills.

Corporate magicians can earn anywhere from RM3000 to RM8,000+ per event. Those at the top of the field can charge RM40,000 or more for a single night. If a magician books several gigs a month, their annual income adds up quickly.
In Malaysia, the income curve looks broadly similar but compressed to local market rates.

Part-time / beginner (weekends only) - RM1000 – RM 2,500
Semi-professional (regular bookings) - RM 3,500 – RM7,000,00
Full-time professional - RM 8,000 – RM 15,000
Established / award-winning performer - RM 15,000 – RM 40,000+

⚠️ These Malaysia estimates are illustrative only. No publicly available Malaysian salary surveys for professional magicians exist at the time of writing.

LIST OF MAGICIANS >>

My Final Take and 2Cents

Magic isn't just tricks, it's timing, charisma, confidence, reading people, and controlling a room.

When planning an event, choosing the right performer, emcee, or magician can make a huge difference to your guests' experience. Before hiring, always check their experience, watch videos of actual performances, read reviews, and ensure their style matches your audience. A professional magician is more than just entertainment, they help break the ice, engage guests, create memorable moments, and keep the event atmosphere lively. Whether it's a corporate dinner, product launch, wedding, or private celebration, a skilled magician can turn an ordinary event into an unforgettable experience.

What Is the Best Product to Sell Online? A Beginner's How to start Selling on Shopee and Guide to Avoid Mistake as Shopee Seller

Author: Kyzson

Before we talk about 2025, let's first look back at 2024 and see how it connects to what happened in 2025. Why?

Because 2024 was the year I became obsessed with online shopping. I bought all kinds of things, some useful, some just pure useless. It got to the point where my wife was scolding me almost every month for all the packages showing up at our door.

What is the Top Tier Selling SKU in Shopee?

Most Malaysian sellers guess. They copy what looks popular. But the numbers tell a very different story. The #1 category is not what you think.

Sell what the buyer already buy every month, but make sure you passionate and build to do that category

Pick Home & Living or Beauty for example. List on Shopee. Go live at least once a week. Respond fast. Keep your capital or accounting properly mage. Focus on repeat buyers, not one-time sales.

My Final Take & 2Cents

The market is real. The data is damn real. The only missing piece is you. Malaysia's ecommerce market does not need you to be perfect. It needs you to be present, consistent, and willing to learn faster than you fail. You have the data. You have the platform. You have the buyers. How you going to start? My advise is, sell what you constant use, love and observe other people react to it, it there red flag, drop it and move to other product.

Which category are you selling in right now? Comment below: Home & Living, Beauty, or something else.

How much it will cost me to go FIFA World 2026 from Malaysia Kuala Lumpur

Author: Kyzson

Going to FIFA 2026 Costs More Than Your Car

As a Malaysian flying from KL, here's every ringgit you need to budget for the biggest sporting event on earth — most fans don't know the real number.

Most Malaysians Underestimate This Trip Badly

You Need a US Tourist Visa
Malaysia is NOT in the US Visa Waiver Program. That's an extra RM 834 and 8–12 weeks of processing time before you even pack your bag.

Flights Are Expensive
KL to the US during World Cup dates: realistically RM 8,000–RM 16,000 return. Off-season prices don't apply here.

Hotel Prices Explode
Accommodation near stadiums surges 300% on match nights. RM 800–RM 2,500 per night is the new normal.

Here's Your Full FIFA 2026 Cost Breakdown

Flights, visa, hotel, match ticket, food, transport - all in one guide, priced for Malaysians. No guessing, no surprises.

Flights - KL to US return - budget vs. peak pricing

Visa - B1/B2 US tourist visa - cost & timeline
Accommodation - Hotel & Airbnb near stadiums
Tickets + Daily Costs - Match tickets, food, transport & insurance

Cheapest Return Flight: From RM 1,980

Off-Peak Floor - RM 1,980 is the absolute budget floor — outside World Cup dates. Don't count on this.
During WC Dates- Realistic range: RM 8,000–RM 16,000 return. The earlier you book, the lower you pay.

Budget Estimate - Plan for RM 3,248–RM 8,120 if you book 6–12 months ahead.

Tourist Visa

Cost: RM 834 ($205 USD)
Processing: 8–12 weeks minimum

Stadiums: RM 800–RM 2,500 / Night

Book 5+ nights to average out cost. Stay further from the stadium and use public transit to save significantly.

Average Airbnb: $385/night (~RM 1,563) near stadium zones across all host cities during match windows.
Budget City: Houston Starts around RM 830/night - one of the more affordable options among the 16 host cities.

Tickets Start at RM 678 on Resale

Resale floor price: ~$167 (~RM 678)

Dynamic pricing applies — prices shift daily

Buy early. Resale prices spike dramatically in the final weeks before each match.

Seattle Is Your Cheapest FIFA City to Visit

Total Trip Cost: ~$3,287 (~RM 13,345) for a full Seattle visit including accommodation, transport, and tickets.
Why Seattle Wins: Lower hotel rates, walkable stadium access, and more affordable dining compared to cities like Miami or LA.
Most Fans Don't Know This: Everyone targets New York or LA. Seattle is the smart money pick for budget-conscious Malaysian fans.

Source: SoFi analysis, April 2026

Realistic Total: RM 18,000–RM 40,000 Per Person

USD 1 = RM 4.06 (June 2026) 1 match minimum Economy travel

Cost Item	Budget Trip	Mid-Range Trip
✈️ Return Flight (KUL → USA)	RM 3,248	RM 8,120
□ US B1/B2 Tourist Visa	RM 832	RM 832
□ Accommodation (5 nights)	RM 1,624	RM 6,090
□ Match Ticket (1 game)	RM 678	RM 1,543
□ Food & Drinks (7 days)	RM 1,137	RM 2,274
□ Local Transport	RM 203	RM 609
□️ Travel Insurance	RM 325	RM 812
TOTAL ESTIMATED COST	~RM 18,000	~RM 30,000

□

Budget trip = Seattle, 1 match, economy hotel, resale ticket. Mid-range = 2 cities, 2 matches, Airbnb near stadium. Start saving now and apply for your US tourist visa at least 3 months ahead — interview wait times at the US Embassy KL are long.

Did Malaysia Just Made Beyblade Popular again by introduce it to a School Sport? History, Types, Price, Where to buy & How to Play

6/10/2026

0 Comments

Author: Kyzson

When I was in middle school, I always saw other kids my age playing with this gasing-like thing called Beyblade. Back then, I never gave it much thought because I found it boring, and my parents weren't really supportive of me trying it.
Fast forward to today, I started noticing Beyblade everywhere again. A friend bought some for his kids, and a coworker kept sending me Beyblade news and videos. Eventually, I couldn't resist and bought a beginner set for my son. Of course, as someone who never got to experience this hobby as a kid, I ended up buying two sets, one for my son and one for myself.

That also led me down a rabbit hole of Beyblade's history, origins, popularity, and cultural impact. Here's what I discovered.

Beyblade is a Japanese spinning-top battle toy that combines elements of traditional gasing, engineering, strategy, collecting, and competitive play. Created in 1999, it has evolved into a global phenomenon with anime series, organized tournaments, and millions of players worldwide.

Unlike traditional gasing, Beyblades are customizable, allowing players to mix different parts to create unique combinations focused on attack, defense, stamina, or balance. Players launch their Beyblades into a stadium and compete to outspin, knock out, or defeat their opponents.

Here's everything you need to know the origin, types, how to play, cost, and where to buy.

WHY SOME SCHOOLS USE BEYBLADE ACTIVITIES?

✅ Physics concepts

• Momentum
• Friction
• Energy transfer

✅ Engineering thinking

• Design choices
• Testing & improvement

✅ Sportsmanship
✅ Strategic decision making
✅ Social interaction

Note: Beyblade is generally not part of Malaysia's official national curriculum, but some schools, clubs, STEM programs, and co-curricular activities use it as an educational tool.

HISTORY & ORIGIN

Many parents are surprised to see Beyblade making a huge comeback in schools, malls, and community tournaments.

Here's everything you need to know.

Beyblade is a spinning-top battle toy franchise created in Japan by manga artist and toy designer - Takao Aoki.
The toys are produced and owned by Japanese toy company Takara Tomy. Inspired by traditional Japanese battling tops known as "Beigoma."

DEBUT

First launched in Japan: 1999
First global boom: Early 2000s
Relaunched multiple times with new generations
Latest generation: Beyblade X (2023-Present)

Sources: https://beyblade.fandom.com/wiki/Takao_Aoki

POPULARITY HISTORY

1999-2004 🔥 Massive worldwide craze
2008-2012 🔥 Beyblade Metal Saga revival
2015-2022 🔥 Beyblade Burst era
2023-Now 🚀 Beyblade X becomes the fastest-growing generation yet

Malaysia has seen increasing tournaments, hobby groups, and school clubs since 2024.

TYPES OF BEYBLADES

🔴 Attack Type - Fast / Powerful hits / High knockout potential
🔵 Defense Type - Heavy / Hard to knock out
🟢 Stamina Type - Spins the longest / Wins endurance battles
🟡 Balance Type - Mix of all characteristics

Sources: https://www.reddit.com/r/Beyblade/comments/1pbsvwd/which_balance_type_bey_most_feels_like_a_balance/

ANIME SERIES

📖 Original Beyblade (2001)
⚙️ Beyblade Metal Fight / Metal Fusion (2008)
💥 Beyblade Burst (2016)
⚡ Beyblade X (2023)
Many kids discover Beyblade through anime before buying their first top. (I never watch any of it yet, I think I should)

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

Budget Starter: RM25 - RM50
Official Starter Set: RM50 - RM120
Competitive Setup: RM150 - RM400+
Tournament Collection: RM500+

Official products cost more but are usually more durable and tournament-legal.

WHERE TO BUY?

• Toys"R"Us Malaysia
• AEON Malaysia
• Shopee Malaysia
• Lazada Malaysia
• Hobby stores
• Toy specialty shops

THE POSITIVE SIDE

✅ Encourages strategic thinking
✅ Less screen time
✅ Social activity
✅ Teaches healthy competition
✅ Collecting & customization hobby
✅ Can spark interest in STEM

THE NEGATIVE SIDE

❌ Can become expensive
❌ Some fake products break easily
❌ Competitive players may spend heavily
❌ Parts can get lost
❌ Younger children need supervision

My Final Take and 2Cents

Beyblade is one of the few toys that combines play, collecting, strategy, engineering, and face-to-face social interaction, making it appealing to both kids and parents in 2026.

After a few days of playing, I realized my younger self was probably right: it's still not really my thing. But surprisingly, it sparked my curiosity. How did Beyblade this modern version of gasing become so popular again? Why are schools, parents, and kids suddenly embracing it?

While I'm not particularly fond of it myself, I would still encourage you to give it a try, not because you have to like it, but because it may be an experience that sparks your curiosity and opens the door to a new hobby.
And if you have kids, it's a great way to spend quality time together, bond over a shared activity, and create memories that will last far longer than the spinning tops themselves.

How to Avoid Online L.O Scams, Report NSRC and Police Report -Scammers Target Malaysian Business Owners Using Fake Government Local Orders (LOs)

6/6/2026

0 Comments

Author: Kyzson

Hmmm... this is a topic I never thought I would share in my lifetime, but hey, I guess some incidents are powerful enough to make you do things you never expected.

So, what happened?

Let's dive into the story of how it all began. (Grab your popcorn 🍿.) The following is based on my police report statement and the events that led up to one of the most valuable lessons I've learned as a business owner.

What is L.O Local Order in business term or meaning?

In business, LO most commonly stands for Local Order or Line of Business. Depends on whether you are dealing with corporate purchasing, finance, organizational structure or government.

In procurement and government contracting (particularly in Malaysia and other Commonwealth countries), a Local Order is an official document issued by an agency or organization to a supplier / vendor.

Our Scam's Police Report

Pada 15 Mei 2026, saya telah dihubungi oleh seorang individu bernama Encik Azizudin (99% Fake Name) (No. Telefon: 011-18758353) yang mendakwa berasal dari Jabatan Penerangan Negeri bagi mendapatkan sebut harga penyewaan LED Screen berukuran 7 meter x 4 meter. Beliau telah memberikan maklumat lokasi, maklumat saiz pentas serta tarikh pemasangan yang dijadualkan pada 1 Jun 2026 jam 10.00 pagi (PUBLIC HOLIDAY).

Pada 1 Jun 2026, saya bersama pekerja2 telah hadir ke lokasi yang diberikan, iaitu di alamat Jabatan Penerangan Putrajaya, 14, 14G9 Persiaran Perdana, Presint 4, 62100 Putrajaya. Namun, setelah tiba di lokasi, kami mendapati tiada pegawai atau wakil yang bertanggungjawab berada di tempat tersebut dan bila kami tanya sekurity guard sana, dia ka tiada sebarang pengawai ygn bernama Azzizudin bertugas di sini. Pihak syarikat kami telah beberapa kali cuba menghubungi Encik Azizudin, namun tiada sebarang jawapan diterima selama 2 hari.

Pada 3 Jun 2026, Encik Azizudin telah menghantar SMS kepada saya dengan alasan terdapat masalah komunikasi dah Public holiday. Pada ketika itu, saya tidak mengesyaki sebarang perkara yang mencurigakan kerana beranggapan kemungkinan beliau bercuti atau tidak dapat menjawab panggilan telefon atas urusan kerluarga atau telefon di letak tepi waktu tak bertugas.

Seterusnya, dalam proses menjadualkan semula tarikh pemasangan baru, beliau telah mengeluarkan Local Order (L.O.) baharu bernilai RM32,000 (Tambahan Charge Overtime atas kehadiran Krew pada 1hb Jun). Pada ketika itu, syarikat kami masih belum mengalami sebarang kerugian.

Pada 5 Jun 2026, smasa dalam perancangan untuk melawat lokasi permasangan, secara tiba-tiba Encik Azizudin telah membuat permintaan kecemasan untuk membeli sebuah Power Station bernilai RM12,000. Beliau turut merujuk kepada sebuah syarikat pembekal yang kononnya diiktiraf oleh jabatan beliau. Nama syarikat tersebut ialah MUSADIQ TRADING (SSM No. Pendaftaran: 202603123480 / 003850135-V). Susulan itu, saya terus menghubungi wakil pembekal yang dikenali sebagai Cik Sarinah melalui nombor telefon 014-2842297. Dalam perbincangan tersebut, pihak pembekal telah mengemukakan sebut harga bersama harga cadangan mark-up dan memaklumkan bahawa penghantaran boleh dibuat pada hari berikutnya sekiranya pembayaran RM12,000 dibuat sebelum jam 3.00 petang pada 5 Jun 2026.

Selepas pihak pembekal menghantar invois kepada kami, pada 5 Jun 2026 kira-kira jam 3.22 petang (1522 hrs), syarikat kami telah membuat pemindahan wang sebanyak RM12,000 dari akaun syarikat ketika berada di pejabat THUNDER ADVERTISING yang beralamat di Dataran Mentari, Tingkat 3, Jalan PJS 8/18, Bandar Sunway, 46150 Petaling Jaya, Selangor ke akaun OCBC Bank (Malaysia) Berhad No. 7051413253 atas nama MUSADIQ TRADING.

Kira-kira satu jam kemudian, Encik Azizudin sekali lagi menghubungi saya dan membuat permintaan tambahan untuk membeli dua (2) unit lagi POWER STATION dengan nilai keseluruhan RM22,000 (FUIYOHHH). Selepas menerima permintaan yang bersifat tergesa-gesa tersebut, saya mula berasa curiga dan mengesyaki bahawa Local Order (L.O.) yang diberikan itu agak mencurigakan. Saya kemudiannya menjalankan semakan bersama CFO saya dengan membandingkan dokumen tersebut dengan beberapa L.O. yang pernah diterima oleh syarikat kami daripada projek-projek terdahulu.

Hasil semakan tersebut, kami mengesyaki bahawa kami kemungkinan besar telah menjadi mangsa penipuan (scam) dan syarikat kami mengalami kerugian sebanyak RM12,400 termasuk kos berkaitan.

Sekian, Harap Maklum

Let's Play A Game - Which one is Original L.O?
<< LEFT or RIGHT >>

Comment Below

Did you learn something now? If NO, let me breakdown... (Based on my Experience)

Step-by-Step Breakdown, How These Scammers Operate

The scammer / syndicate of normally 2 to 5 people or more will do some research before contacts a representative (me) of the targeted company/victim and places an order. The request is usually urgent last minute, coming soon date usually with in a week which the event date is very near.
A Local Order (LO) or Purchase Order (PO) is then issued to the targeted (Us) company after they "approved" our Quotation. The document appears official, complete with a company letterhead, stamp, and/or authorized signature.
The document looks legitimate and there are no obvious signs of suspicious activity. The scammer also communicates professionally, soft spoken and convincingly.
However! The LO or PO is merely bait and the initial trap for bigger "FISH".
The scammer then will inquires about gift packages, hampers and for our case is POWER STATION, claiming that they wish to add an urgent last-minute order.
Honestly, Most SME companies are unable to fulfill such requests due to time constraints, capital reserve or lack of expertise in supplying those items.
The scammer will then recommend a supplier that they claim to have used before, affordable option, one that is supposedly recognized and approved by their organization. The targeted company is encouraged to deal directly with this supplier. In reality, this is a MULE Company controlled by the scammer / syndicate.
If you want to meet them in person, they will come up with excuses such as not having made an appointment, being in the middle of an audit, being outstation, or attending a meeting—anything to avoid a face-to-face confrontation.
So, is where the financial transaction takes place. The mule company also issues an official-looking QUOTATION, making the transaction appear legitimate, with SSM Registered with Official Bank Account Details (No Company would dumb enough to transfer Huge amount Money to Individual Account right? How about Company Account, surely more legit right?!). The targeted company then transfers payment to the mule company to fulfill the urgent order.
Additional urgent orders may continue to be added once the victim is trapped, resulting in further payments being made by the victim.
When the Targeted company come to realize the unable to contact the both Customer and supplier, and conclude its a fraud... then the victim realizes they have been scammed. GG and FACEPALM!

What to do if you get scammed? Sources >> https://www.facebook.com/seccommalaysia

What to Do If You Suspect You've Been Scammed?

* Bear in mind that making these reports and notifying the bank does not guarantee that you will recover your money. However, your report will be recorded for investigation purposes and may serve as a valuable reference for public awareness and scam statistics.

1. Call your bank's emergency hotline.

Report the unauthorized transfer or payment.
Request the bank to:
Freeze your account if necessary.
Trace the transaction.
Attempt a fund recovery.
Flag the recipient account for investigation.

2. Report to the National Scam Response Centre (NSRC)

Call 997 immediately - WEBSITE >>
The NSRC coordinates with banks, police, and financial institutions to help freeze scam-related accounts and recover funds when possible.

3. Make a Police Report & Collect Evidences

Report the scam at your Nearest Police Station or through the official police reporting channels.

Report the WhatsApp / Telegram / Facebook or any online conversation that you engaged.
What to do in Account:

Open the chat.
Tap the contact name.
Scroll down and select Report.
Block the number.

Save and Preserve All Evidence!
Do not delete:

WhatsApp conversations.
Images and documents.
Voice messages.
Call logs.
Bank transaction records.
Email correspondence.

Check for Additional Exposure
If you shared:

Bank account details
Online banking credentials
OTP codes
Credit card information
Company documents

4. Inform Your Business Team or Family Member

If the scam involved your company:

Notify management and finance staff.
Alert procurement and sales teams.
Inform business partners or family member who may also be targeted.

Note: Don't bother call their Tel: 603-89113440, I called everyday from 3rd Jun to clarify is Mr Azziz a staff there yet until today (6th Jun) during working how, not a single fly answer the call.

Continue... To make the incident even more intriguing,

Pada 6 Jun all 3 of the scammers' contact numbers still had not blocked me. They continued replying to my messages and were still expecting me to meet them at the setup venue and deliver the POWER BLOODY STATION. Although I strongly doubted that Encik Azizudin would actually show up, a small part of me still hoped 1% that the case might be genuine.

Out of curiosity, and holding onto that remaining 1% hope that it was not a scam, I decided to travel to Putrajaya to verify the situation once more with the security personnel at the venue.

Guess what happened?

The security guard, along with two police officers who arrived shortly after, informed me that earlier that same morning, around 5:00 AM, another 2 suppliers had come looking for Encik Azizudin as well, showing same profile picture and numbers.

Yes, the rest is history.

What we learned from this experience is a valuable lesson about how sophisticated and adaptable scammers have become. They scrape information from your website, use AI to create convincing images and documents, replicate official-looking paperwork, develop carefully planned scripts, and patiently wait for the right opportunity. They study your business, learn your industry's terminology, and communicate in a way that builds trust and credibility.
More importantly, they exploit psychology. They identify weaknesses, create urgency, and manipulate emotions. The moment you let your guard down, they strike like cobra snake.

This experience serves as a reminder that in today's digital world, vigilance is not optional - it is essential.

My Final Take and 2Cents

it takes me 1 day+ to digest my anger, confusion, disappointment and guilt toward myself for letting down my company and business partner and along the way I try not to linger around the negative feeling because getting the money back might not happen depend how is the investigation result and how the bank resolve this fraud case.

I just take my time to swallow this mistake and write this post to digest my discomfort and hoping this post able to reach for those still not KENA yet into this scams (hope you wont experience at all ofcause). I take my pride to see this as a learning curve not to easy let my guard down eventho in the past we never "KENA" before and thinking it will not happen, and I lucky enough compare to other victims that fell into more serios lost from hundred thousand to million, we consider "lucky"?

So What you will definitely gain is a lesson that teaches you to be more cautious in the future and helps you warn those around you to be more vigilant as well.
