Cosplay is 'more than just a show', say Malaysian champion duo


Cosplaying involves learning certain skills which participants need to hone, including costume-sewing, props making, LED programming, and more, as Tee (right) and Yap have proven.

Rachel Tee and Yap Li Leng, both 33, may seem like other ordinary, young working women.

But when they don their cosplay attire and take to the stage, their electrifying performance packs a punch. It’s no surprise then that the duo – known as Team Cendol – won the World Cosplay Summit (WCS) Malaysia 2024 Championship in September last year and the ticket to represent the country in WCS Japan 2024 (held from today until Sunday) in Nagoya.
