KUALA LUMPUR: Singer and composer Aina Abdul, 33, is deeply moved by the encouragement and prayers from her fans as she heads to the Eurovision Asia stage this Saturday, hoping to bring home a win for Malaysia.
Aina shared a video on social media showing her fan club, Ainations, seeing her off at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) as she departed for Bangkok, Thailand, yesterday.
Wearing a sporty outfit inspired by an athlete’s kit, Aina—whose real name is Nurul Aina Abdul Ghani—drew praise from netizens, who hoped the ‘champion’s medal’ would come home to Malaysia.
“Getting a taste of what it’s like to be an athlete! Thank you to my beloved Ainations for accompanying me on my journey.”
“I’m so touched—I’ll do my very best, okay?” Aina wrote in the video post on Threads.
In the comments, many fans shared their hopes that Aina will win Eurovision Asia with her original song, Bluest Sky.
“All the best, Aina. God is the best of planners—wishing you every success,” one netizen commented.
“Go Aina, make Malaysia proud of you, girl!” wrote another social media user.
Aina released Bluest Sky on Oct 9, describing it as a “love letter” to someone special in her life.
Since its release, the track has not only caught the attention of Malaysian fans but has also drawn positive reactions from international listeners.
Many of her supporters are confident that the singer—best known for hits like Sumpah and Sepi—can deliver a mesmerising performance and hold her own against 11 other contestants from across Asia.
The Eurovision Asia 2026 grand finals, taking place in Bangkok on Nov 14, will also feature participants from Thailand, South Korea, the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Bhutan.
