Previously, we shared the story of a viral video in which a Malaysian dentist and content creator Shelen Wong bumped into Atilia Haron, the artiste behind classic Malaysian jingles in the 2000s.
In the video, Atilia sang snippets from the jingles she made for various Malaysian brands, including Paddle Pop, Malaysia Truly Asia, KFC and the hotline number for Pizza Hut.
Voice of Malaysia Truly Asia meets the voice of LRT announcements!
Recently, Atilia posted a video on her TikTok page @atiliaharon which has gone viral too, showing her meeting up with another legendary Malaysian voice actress, whose voice has been part of our lives without us even knowing it!
As of the time of writing, the video has garnered over 497,200 views and more than 37,700 likes in just 22 hours.
At the start of the video, Atilia talked to the camera, saying,
“Guys, if you were impressed with me singing Paddle Pop, Malaysia Truly Asia and more, then this lady next to me… Can you say something?”
Atilia then brought a Malaysian woman into frame who began asserting the lines that you’d always hear while in the LRT, MRT and KTMB trains in our country!
As it turns out, the woman is actually Suhaili, a former RTM English Newsreader who voiced all the announcements on the train services in our country.
In fact, Suhaili’s voice in real life is so good that what she said in the TikTok video sounds EXACTLY like the announcements we hear on the trains.

@atiliaharonSomeone tag Suhaili pls. I love her ♬ original sound – Atilia Haron
In the comments section, many Malaysians were awed by Suhaili’s legendary voice and were excited to see 2 legendary voice actresses in the same room together.
One commenter said that she absolutely loves Suhaili’s voice and wanted to know where to learn about voice acting.
Meanwhile, another commenter joked that Suhaili’s partner must be traumatised every time he commutes to work via LRT.
One jokester replied by saying the potential lines that Suhaili might say to her partner, such as “Next assignment, do the rubbish”.
What an awesome video! Thanks both and Suhaili for your legendary voice-over works which have been part of parcel of Malaysian lives ?
