12 Aug - Another engineer-turned-cooking influencer won Creator of the Year as Qayyum Halid aka Che Sayang Kitchen won the accolade at the TikTok Awards Malaysia 2024.
The content creator bested other big contenders including Ryan Bakery, Sofyank and even Sofea Shrea to win in the category at the event held at the KL World Trade Centre.
"I thank all the voters. It felt impossible to achieve this, but thanks to doubled efforts, this was all made a reality," said the content creator, real name Qayyum Halid.

Prior to winning the accolade, he was awarded Best National Food Influencer at the KNKV Viral Award 2024 earlier this year.
