Popular Malaysian entrepreneur and celebrity Dato’ Seri Vida, more affectionately known as DSV, recently caught the attention of Malaysians after she shared a video of herself interacting with customers in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.
Taking to TikTok, DSV, who was opening a booth selling Salmon Salted Egg and other food products at the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC), caught Malaysians off guard by conversing in fluent Mandarin with a local Chinese family who are big fans of hers.
DSV shows off her Mandarin-speaking skills with a Chinese family in Sabah
At the start of the video, DSV asked the family where they were from, to which the mother shared that they were from Sarawak but had been staying in Sabah for a long time.
The mother then revealed that the family always wanted to buy DSV’s Salmon Salted Egg and other food products online but didn’t manage to.
Given that DSV was opening a booth near their home, they decided to come to SICC to buy the products and meet DSV in person.
DSV then asked how the family knew she was opening a booth there, to which the mother replied that they always watch DSV’s live streams on TikTok.
The family then ended up happily buying several food products from DSV, totalling RM565.

Malaysians praise DSV’s communication skills and humbleness
In the comments section, many Malaysians were impressed by DSV’s Mandarin-speaking skills, something she never even publicly flexed before.
Accordingly, several commenters were shocked at DSV speaking Mandarin out of the blue and praised her for her confidence in speaking the language.
Meanwhile, one commenter shared that DSV used to be an English teacher, hence why she has great communication skills, which she utilised in her business by making excellent marketing campaigns.
Besides that, another commenter said that DSV is an inspiration, as despite being super successful, she is still humble and has no problem manning a booth for her products.
