IN April this year, Shazmin Shamsuddin sat down with Malaysia’s first Penthouse magazine cover girl, adult entertainer and at 18.6 million followers on Instagram alone, the biggest social media influencer in Malaysia.

Ms Pui Yi is a brand. And every strong brand has an incredible backstory

When private photos of hers she claimed were hijacked led to sordid blackmail, she took that crisis in hand despite her failing mental health and plotted her destiny. Her steely resolve to own that humiliation turned it into a ‘power’ move.

From her coy social media beginnings, she went on to cultivate a sultry persona online which has brought her a massive cult following on OnlyFans and all her various social media. 

But who is Ms Pui Yi, really? A honeyed sexpot who knows how to manipulate social media – or a hopeless romantic who craves the normal things like a solid relationship and future children? Here we discover the real person behind the persona. Her values may surprise you. – The Vibes, July 13, 2022

This is the full extended recording of the series of video interviews published in April 2022.
