Gatita Yan Allegedly Gets Invited To DJ at Jackson Wang’s Party, Later Rejects to Keep BF Happy

By now, most Malaysians are familiar with this Insta famous influencer/YouTuber Gatita Yan. Not long ago, she announced that just like Ms. Pui Yi, she will also start a new career path which is being a DJ.

Just yesterday, Gatita announced on her Instagram story that she will be attending Jackson Wang’s after party at a club in Solaris. In her story, she mentioned that she was “invited” to be the DJ for his after party.

“I’ve been practicing for so long. I’ve never practiced this long for a show before, I’m so grateful that I was invited to be a part of Jackson Wang’s after party DJ. I have so much gratitude”, she said.

Hours after she posted the story, she then posted another story saying that she’s getting a lot of hate for the announcement she made.

“Since there are so many people who have been commenting on this issue and making it a big deal, the hate has spread to the point where even my Middle Eastern boyfriend has heard about it”, she added.

She then revealed that her Middle Eastern boyfriend is not in the entertainment/media industry and couldn’t stand the fact that she is receiving this much hate and backlash from netizens.

She then ended her Instagram story saying,

“I don’t want my boyfriend to be upset over this matter and I’ve decided to cancel the DJ show.”

Following that, many netizens were quick to call her out and speculated that this was all a “one-woman show”.

“It’s so sad to see you become someone so desperate and sad. There’s nothing real about you or this matter.”

“She’s so good at putting up a show.”

“I believe a lot of DJs out there are treating as a joke and laughing about it.”

Shopping Malls and Retail Industry Not Happy With The HIDE List and Closure Directive

Three trade associations that are said to represent shopping malls and retail industries in Malaysia have publicly urged the government to stop releasing the daily list of high-risk locations as detected by the Hotspot Identification by Dynamic Engagement (HIDE) COVID-19 early warning system.

Through a joint statement, the Malaysia Shopping Malls Association (PPKM), Malaysia Retailers Association (MRA), and Malaysia Retail Chain Associations (MRCA) said the first HIDE list which was published yesterday published incomplete information and didn’t provide an accurate picture of the real-life situation.

The statement pointed out that HIDE does not include premises and operations that did not adhere to proper SOPs including the implementation of MySejahtera check-in. Hence, they would not appear as a hotspot in the system even though they could be one in real life.

The trade associations also insist that shopping malls have adhered to all SOP requirements and have also performed enhanced cleaning as well as sanitisation in a frequent manner to make sure that they are safe to visit. They also cited the recent analysis by Code Blue which said that only 4.78% of COVID-19 cases from late February to early April came from shopping areas as opposed to factories that covered 48.06% of the cases.

Through the same statement, PPKM, MRA, and MRCA have also opposed the closure order announced by Senior Minister for Defence, Ismail Sabri Yaakob. They collectively said that the directive is premature and will cause “irreversible damage” to businesses.

Despite the protest though, premises that have been listed by HIDE including the well-established large shopping malls such as Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, Suria KLCC, Mid Valley Megamall, and Sunway Pyramid did adhere to the directive from the government even though it was imposed on such a short time frame.
