In the 1960's, stars like Yao Su-jung, Chin Shan, and Chen Fen-lan began to get popular. In particular, Yao broke the old mellow performing style with shouting and expressions of emotion; this really hit home with Chinese in Malaysia at that time, who were depressed by anti-Chinese sentiment and the bad economy.
一九六○年代，姚蘇蓉、青山、陳芬蘭開始走紅；尤其姚蘇蓉突破前人緩慢的表演方式，以吶喊、敢悲敢喜的姿態出現，聽得當時因排華、經濟不景氣而壓力沉重的華人，大呼過癮。
