WATCH: Meerqeen Takes Us Through The Storied Streets of Malacca
Malaysia’s golden boy travels through space and time, blending history, culture, and fashion for his VMAN Southeast Asia cover shoot
Malacca, where the world met
Malaysia is a country where contradictions are stitched together: a vibrant mix of colors and sounds; the push and pull of tradition and modernity, of the humble kopitiam amid towering skyscrapers; a melting pot of the languages and cultures from the East and West, clashing, combining, coming alive in Kuala Lumpur, George Town, the Stadthuys—
Malaysia is historical yet contemporary; chaotic yet harmonious. And within this vibrant nation, Meerqeen, himself a man of many facets, was born.
The young actor—once an athlete tackling bodies on the rugby field, now scoring new goals within film and fashion—takes us through a trip that transcends generations.
Set against the historical city of Malacca, VMAN Southeast Asia’s cover shoot with Malaysia’s golden boy showcases him in a contemplative light.
