British-Albanian singer Dua Lipa is said to have picked Kuala Lumpur as one of the most interesting places she has visited in her travels around the world.
The 27-year-old artiste apparently shared this during a Q&A livestream session with her fans on Tik Tok.
“There are lots of places I have gone to, but my favourite is Kuala Lumpur. I visited a lot of amazing temples there.
“It’s one of the most interesting experiences I’ve had when I was in Asia.”
mStar – The Star’s Malay language portal – was the first to report this and the article also highlighted that her Malaysian fans were excited by her answer.
“I screamed when I heard her answer. Kuala Lumpur rules,” commented a netizen, as reported by mStar.
The popular singer-songwriter performed in Kuala Lumpur in May 2018. She was also in Malaysia in 2017 as part of the line-up at the Good Vibes Festival that took place in Genting Highlands.
Lipa has had many hits on the charts including Blow Your Mind (Mwah), IDGAF, New Rules, Levitating, Physical and Don’t Start Now.
Thankfully, it looks like Lipa has decided to put behind an ugly incident that involved some thoughtless Malaysians.
Back in March 2018, she had posted a birthday message to her father on Instagram which read: “Happy Birthday babi, I wish I was home to give you a big hug and kiss.”
It was reported that some Malaysians took issue to the use of “babi”, which means pig in Bahasa Malaysia, and responded with harsh comments.
The singer later removed the word from her post.
She reflected on the incident with L’Officiel: “It was actually quite mean on their behalf, because obviously I’m not talking in Malay. I speak another language as well, and the language that I speak with my parents is my heritage. I would like that to be respected.”
