When it comes to the local YouTube scene, Phei Yong and May Ho are staples that have cemented their names as two of the top YouTubers in Malaysia. Stemming from his Radio DJ background, Phei Yong made his fame from his candid and novel sketches that feature various pop culture topics and themes, his talk show and even music video performances, while May Ho is loved for her fashion bag reviews, daily vlog content and travel videos that highlight her vivacious and tongue-in-cheek commentary.
Dressed in the latest Tommy x Pendleton collection, a special collaboration between Tommy Hilfiger and Pendleton Woolen Mills that highlights the fashion house’s signature TH Monogram and modern preppy style, reimagined for the great outdoor, the duo shows us their point of view from the top.
Let’s start from the beginning. How did you get started on YouTube?
PHEI YONG (PY): I am quite a restless and energetic person. So, YouTube to me started as something fun, playful and personal.
MAY HO (MH): I personally love watching video content, especially on YouTube. So, Allen (my partner) suggested that I should start my own channel since I have a very expressive personality. I was reluctant at first because while I love to talk, I wasn’t very comfortable being on camera. It took a while but it worked out in the end.
