You may or may not know these youtubers, but they are certainly here to stay for the long run. Who knows they might even inspire some of you out there to showcase your charming personality. As Malaysians, we should stand beside aspiring creators like them in order to expand our Malaysian YouTube scene. All said, it’s better than watching local TV…
