Yesterday Kenneth Ma a carnival event in Malaysia and demonstrated ‘Teh Tarik’ (Pulled Tea) live on the spot. When speaking of the recent male artist sex photo scandal, Kenneth said: “I’ve saw the reports too, and I just thought it was funny. But I didn’t see my name on the list and felt a bit unhappy. I can say my body figure isn’t that bad. Don’t necessarily have to be a built and bulky guy, but still no one invited me to take nude photos.”

As for the 23 year old female artist rape case, Kenneth does not understand why girls have to go to those places to drink. Even if it is a very close friend, still have to be careful. It is safer to drink in the comfort of your own home.
