Ikon Malaysia
IKON Malaysia is a reality singing competition which searches for a champion among existing or established artistes rather than among new, unknown starlets as in other such singing competitions. The programme was co-launched with IKON Indonesia and IKON Philippines in late 2006 as an initiative to search for an artiste who can represent the country in the regional, ASEAN level. The verdict is determined by 70% of jury marks and 30% SMS. Ikon Malaysia began its run on Astro Ria in May 2007, and is hosted by Sarimah Ibrahim. The final stage was held on 28 July 2007. Jaclyn Victor and OAG was chosen to represent Malaysia in Ikon ASEAN which was held on 12 August 2007.

People From Perak
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Dayang (honorific)
{{Unreferenced, date=January 2018 Dayang, abbreviated as Dyg., is a commonly used honorific for the female commoners in Brunei. It is the female equivalent of Awang. Usage Dayang is used in formal situation as a mark of respect for non-royal and non-noble females in Brunei. Generally, it is addressed immediately before the person's given name. If the name includes titles, the order of Dayang is after all of the titles which precede the name. However, this excludes the title Hajah; in this case, Dayang is placed before it. The honorific Dayang is often found with the Malay style Yang Mulia, which is an honorary style also for the commoners. However, they may not be necessarily consecutive; Yang Mulia is always addressed at the beginning of the name system, and this includes preceding any available title. If the person already has Dayang as part of her birth name, it is not required to add this honorific as it will become repetitive. See also * Awang * Yang Mulia Yang may ...
