10 Sep - After building a loyal fanbase through witty online content, Malaysia's beloved team Dissy is making their exciting debut on the big screen with their first-ever Chinese New Year film, "Close Ur Kopitiam". Adding to the excitement, popular actor Mark Lee will lend his star power to help ensure Dissy's successful transition to the silver screen.

"Close Ur Kopitiam" is a light-hearted comedy perfect for Chinese New Year, weaving together two central themes that resonate deeply with Malaysian culture - food and family. Set against the vibrant backdrop of a Malaysian kopitiam, the film introduces a colourful ensemble of familiar characters and explores timely topics such as social media fame and online controversies.

The film follows Ah Biao as he inherits his family's kopitiam and uses unconventional marketing tactics to attract new customers. However, these strategies cause a stir within the local community, leading to an unexpected social media scandal that threatens to upend the business.
