Forbes announced it's fifth 30 under 30 Asia list. Fourteen Malaysians were recognised under several categories, with hijabi wrestler Nor 'Phoenix' Diana receiving special mention and gracing the cover of the magazine with several others.
At only 20, Nor Diana, who goes by the stage name 'Pheonix', is already making a name for herself in the wrestling scene. People first began noticing her when she became the first female winner in July 2019 of the Malaysia Pro Wrestling (MyPW) Wrestlecon championship.
Her win, and the rare sight of a hijab-wearing woman in the ring, has gained her attention at international level.
She was named under the Entertainment and Sports category.
