Malaysian broadcaster TV3 has launched the new TV show, ‘Malaysia Memburu Impian’.

‘Malaysia Memburu Impian’ is a brand new TV show launched by Malaysian broadcaster TV3, to follow Aina Abdul’s journey to the Eurovision Song Contest Asia, this November. Whilst most details on the show are yet to be revealed – one new detail highlights that the show will be in a first person perspective, as Aina, from her selection as Malaysia’s first ever entrant at the Eurovision Song Contest Asia, up until the night of the grand final.

Aina Abdul will represent Malaysia at Eurovision Asia 2026. She was revealed as the Malaysian representative during Anguerah Juara Lagu 40, one of the biggest entertainment shows in the country.

She is one of the biggest names in the Malaysian music industry, having risen to fame in the late 2010s. The thirty-two year old singer has won multiple awards in Malaysia, including in multiple editions of Anguerah Juara Lagu since 2020. To date, she has released three studio albums and chart-topping songs including “Terus Hidup”.

Eurovision Song Contest Asia

The first Eurovision Song Contest Asia will be held on November 14 in Bangkok, Thailand. Like the Eurovision Song Contest, each country’s participation is organised by a participating broadcaster. Each participating broadcaster is expected to select its entry through holding a national final in their country.

The format of the national selections will be revealed in the coming months, with some countries opting to hold multi-week selections.

The rules of the contest will match those of the Eurovision Song Contest, meaning that a song must not exceed 3 minutes in length and no more than 6 people can be on stage. The winner will be determined by 50% televoting and 50% jury voting.
