In recent years, social media has played an important role in bringing a closer connection between celebrities and their die-hard fans, and continues to do so.
Through existing popular apps such as Facebook, Twitter as well as Instagram, people can have a one-click access to their favourite artistes’ daily activities and lives. Likewise, this has also given stars direct access to fans.
Most recently, the number of followers on Instagram have been used as a benchmark in determining the popularity of a famed figure. In this case, the higher the number, the more famous the celebrity is!
To bid adieu to the year 2019, here’s the full list of the top 10 local celebrities with the most amount of followers on Instagram throughout the year. Feel free to check them out here:

Siti Nurhaliza has proven once again in 2019 that she is still relevant and superior on social media. For those who don’t know, Siti had previously dethroned popular celebrity Neelofa as the most followed local celebrity on Instagram last year.
The popularity of the “Percayalah” songstress is surely undeniable as she has gained a lot of loyal supporters not only in her home country, but across the borders in other states including Singapore, Indonesia as well as Brunei.

This year saw a surprising turn as local comedian Zizan Razak climbed his way up to the top 3 spot. It is believed that his increasing numbers of followers online is due to his more casual and humorous approach on social media.
According to the “KL Gangster” actor, the undying support of his fans on Instagram has become a driving force for him to come out with his best performance in order to return the favour. Major congrats to Zizan for his groundbreaking achievement!
3. Neelofa – 6.7m

The talented actress has achieved nationwide popularity thanks to her stint in various local melodramas like “Pujaan Hati Kanda”, “Lelaki Kiriman Tuhan” and “Sweet Dreams” as well as in the blockbuster movie “Sangkar”.
Aside from that, the 26-year-old has been active in endorsing and promoting various local beauty products as well as hijab businesses and fashion labels on her Instagram as well. We have no doubt that with her down-to-earth personality complete with her breathtaking visuals, Mira is definitely well-suited to become the youth’s icon of the present era.

Opting for a more different approach on her social media account, the actress-singer revealed in an interview that she didn’t want her personal life with her beau Fattah Amin to become the talk of the town. Therefore, she’s more comfortable in sharing with her fans her latest updates about her career instead.
We are eager to see what’s in store for these famous and talented local acts in the coming year ahead. Can’t wait for 2020 to come 😉
