Malaysians! Here Are Your Top Trending Search on Google for 2019

Google today released its annual Malaysia Year in Search, a look back at 12-months of collective trending searches on Google Malaysia to shed light on the unique trending searches of 2019. From the news to individuals, to pop culture and more, Google Malaysia’s 2019 Year in Search captures the nation’s curiosity zeitgeist in a few top 10 lists.

Taking the top spot this year in Trending Searches was a bit of a shocke! It’s the “Earth Day Quiz’, a fun quiz by Google coinciding with Earth Day that assigns quiz-takers an animal they’re most like based on their responses to a series of questions, such as their preferred activity on a Friday night to their preffered snack. ‘Thanos’, Marvel’s principled genocidal villain comes in second as the character’s iconic lines and extreme ways to inspire some of the best merchandise and memes alike.

Meanwhile, the number one trending individual goes to Indonesian actress and songstress ‘Vanessa Angel’, coming into the limelight from a recent scandal. Minister of Economic Affairs and Deputy President of Parti Keadilan Rakyat ‘Azmin Ali’ came in second as talks about the Prime Minister’s next successor intensifies. Third on the list is ‘Emma Maembong’ after some of her life choices became heavily talked about by fans and critics. A drunken brawl in Singapore puts ‘Aliff Aziz’ next up on the list while ‘Jung Joon Young’ rings in fifth for illicit sexual misconducts.

Rounding off the top 10 trending people of 2019 are: actor and model ‘Ben Amir’, singer and songwriter ‘Seungri’, TV entertainer‘黄心颖 (Jacqueline Wong)’, senior private secretary to Deputy Primary Industries Minister ‘Haziq Aziz’, and Pencetus Ummah contestant, ‘Abu Sufyan’.
