| Edan Lui Serving Looks in Batik While Chilling in Penang – Netizens Obsessed |
Hong Kong heartthrob Edan Lui (呂爵安) had the internet talking over the weekend — not for his vocals or chaotic variety antics this time, but for his unexpected fashion serve in Penang, Malaysia.
On Sunday (8th June 2025), the MIRROR member posted a serene night photo to his Instagram, casually greeting fans with a “Selamat malam. Goodnight from Penang” — but all eyes were on that shirt.
The 28-year-old was rocking a beautifully patterned batik shirt, showing love to one of Malaysia’s most iconic traditional styles.

For the uninitiated, batik is more than just a “tourist buy” — it’s a proud symbol of local artistry, rooted in Malay heritage and inspired by nature. Worn by everyone from civil servants to fashionistas, it’s got a versatile, unisex charm. And honestly? Edan pulled it off like a pro.
Turns out, he’s in Malaysia not just for a holiday. Edan is one of the celeb hosts for Season 4 of “Be On Game”, a comedy-variety show featuring six stars from Hong Kong. This time around, filming brought the whole gang to sunny Penang — and judging by the photo ops, Edan’s enjoying both the shoot and the scenery.
But here’s where it gets extra spicy. Fans were quick to notice that Lin Min Chen, Edan’s rumoured Malaysian girlfriend, was also in town — and not just anywhere, but her hometown.
The timing? Lin just celebrated her birthday on 1st June, sparking whispers that the pair may have synced up their schedules on purpose. Coincidence? Maybe. But it’s giving soft-launch energy.
Back to the fashion — Malaysian fans loved the batik moment. One comment read, “This look is from Tan Sri Edan,” cheekily referring to how batik is often worn by high-level officials and making Edan Liu an honorary local bigshot. Others welcomed him warmly and even recommended he “go full tourist” with a durian buffet before heading back.

Whether or not the Lin Min Chen theory checks out, one thing’s for sure — Edan’s batik slay is the crossover we didn’t know we needed. We’re always here for celebs embracing local culture sincerely, and this look? 10/10 no notes.
If this keeps up, we might need to start giving out honorary MyKad cards to foreign celebs who dress the part. What do you reckon — should Edan Liu do a full batik-themed photoshoot next?
