Well, the mystery is now solved. Malaysian TikToker Chris MJ previously made a video on Malaysia Day about how Milo should be pronounced as. “I have a very important question and I think we have to settle this, how do you pronounce M-I-L-O?”

According to the Business Executive Officer of Milo, Ng Su Yen, the Malaysians favourite drink Milo is pronounced correctly as “Mai-lo”, and not “Mee-lo”.
Responding to the video, many netizens refuse to accept the answer for this, and enjoy pronouncing it as “Mee-lo”. Regardless, Milo is still the rakyat’s favourite beverage and the pronounciation does not change the fact that it is a delicious drink that most Malaysians grew up with!
