1st November 2026 – (Hong Kong) The Malaysian social media figure Chai Ze Jun, widely known as Zejun, has died aged 24 following a sports car crash on the Iskandar Coastal Highway in Johor on 29th October. Police said they received a report of a fatal collision involving a high‑performance vehicle at about 2.45pm, amid rainy conditions, with the car believed to have veered out of control and struck a left‑side barrier. Family members confirmed his death the next day in a public statement and requested privacy as funeral rites were arranged.
Zejun gained prominence after claiming at 23 to have purchased a Lamborghini and curated an online persona built around luxury goods such as Rolex watches and supercars, while promoting foreign‑exchange trading content and courses through the 1% Traders Club brand. His following reflected a broader Malaysian social media landscape crowded with self‑styled influencers who flaunt wealth and market trading lifestyles; critics had questioned elements of such displays, but there was no suggestion of criminal wrongdoing connected to Thursday’s crash. Police inquiries into the circumstances of the incident are continuing.
