Regarding the controversy surrounding the TikTok contest organised by the Higher Education Ministry recently, local netizens have came up with their own suggestion on which social media influencer is well-suited to be the main face of the competition.
A lot of them have named local rising YouTuber Sofyank96 as the most eligible person for the task. This came following the massive amount of backlash received by the influencers who were involved in the promotional video.
Kalau iya pun nak buat pertandingan video, Sofyank yang itu patut dijadikan "Influencer" contoh anak muda negara. Perisian dia kreatif dan orangnya juga disenangi.
Takat jerit kuat-kuat acah kelakar….
