The female livestreamer who insulted East Malaysians went live… and today, she herself went to file a police report.
The plot twists faster than a Hong Kong drama.

So… what should East Malaysians do now?

⸻

✨ The livestreamer/seller’s response today (original words):

“Went there, filmed there Doing a show?
Filing a police report is a right for all Malaysians
I went to report it myself at 9:30am this morning

Just the phrase “Doing a show?” instantly turned this from a speech controversy into one of the year’s entertainment spectacles.
All it needs now is a director to make ‘West Malaysia vs East Malaysia: The Police Report Battle’.

⸻

🔥 Kuching PKBK (Persatuan Kebajikan Bersatu Kuching) Charity Association: We’re not made of plastic!

This incident has blown up everywhere—
A West Malaysian livestream seller used crude and insulting language to demean East Malaysians,
speaking as arrogantly as if competing in a “Shouting Across the Screen” contest.

This not only hurt the feelings of East Malaysians,
but also affected consumer rights,
and casually undermined racial harmony—three problems at once.

⸻

📌 Official stance of Kuching PKBK Charity Association

1️⃣ Online insults are never justified
No one, from anywhere, should face discrimination, provocation, or humiliation. We firmly oppose actions that destroy social harmony.

2️⃣ Consumer rights must be respected
No seller has the right to delay refunds without reason, nor threaten buyers by “blocking” them.

3️⃣ Police reports have been filed & MCMC and KPDN will follow up
The matter has been officially reported and will be handled seriously by law enforcement.

⸻

Stay calm and don’t respond to hatred with hatred.
When shopping online, choose reputable sellers to protect your rights and your money.

East Malaysians and West Malaysians—who do you think is in the right, and who is in the wrong?

We thought, “That can’t be true — the business is always so good!”
But when we took the escalator upstairs to check, it really was gone — the whole storefront was closed.

Turns out, they’ve just moved their entrance to the opposite side of the mall and are currently upgrading the store layout! ✨
It’s going through a major revamp, and we can’t wait to see the brand-new look.

Looks like MR.DIY at Permy Mall is coming back better than ever!
Happy shopping, everyone!
