As we continue the Year on TikTok celebrations, TikTok, the leading destination for short form mobile videos, shares some of Malaysians' top content categories and challenges that resonated with users nationwide in 2021.

Being a unique platform where creative self-expression is consistently championed in many forms, TikTok has shown to be a space where multiple types of user profiles congregate to create and share content that serve to entertain as well as educate.
