@welp @armondillo @Iz*One48 the reason why still no 48 group in Malaysia is this: https://twitter.com/ShuckMyBhauls/status/1122268021022527488 even if Malaysia48 is real then it'd be 90+% ethnic Chinese. Well I have lack of knowledge about Malaysia society but I've heard some people from ethnic Malay would rage if a girl/woman from their kind doesn't wear hijab.

In Indonesia, it's true amount of women wearing hijab is increasing, proven by some ex JKT48 including Melody who are now wearing hijab. But there're still a lot muslim women who don't consider hijab is compulsory. According to reports, Melody's older sister, 4 years her senior don't wear hijab and still not married but likes to party with her westerner boyfriend in Bali. So you can see 2 types of Indonesian muslim women in a single family.

It can be the one of the reason but it is not the major reason. The major reason is:

the boy band and girl group genre in Malaysia have been dead a long time ago.

Besides:

Malaysian market is not that big

Therefore,I don’t think that Malaysia can sustain 48Group which is very money intensive.

Anyway, Malaysia actually doesn’t need a 48Group. JKT48 can cover Malaysian market as well since Malaysian language (Malay language) and Indonesian language is pretty much similar besides:

Midyear Evaluation:
Well, there are some surprises in this year and the previous year. There are a mini shuffle, Academic student incoming, the releases of TOP 3 SSK 18, KIII Produce Stage, etc.
.
Wish:
1) Rona won't grad in the nearest time. So, Team J may get Nounai Paradise before her graduation. The next Team J stage may be in the next year or early/mid 2021.
2) At least, JKT48 should release two singles if they can't easily release four singles in a year.
3) (I always talk this before) Team KIII new stage should be taken from another team stage such as A6 or SDN. (This looks impossible) Team T should try K4 although they must do S3.
4) JKT48 Circus Part 4 should be in Sumatra. Two of them must be in Palembang and Medan. I guesst the 4th Part will be in the next year.
5) Mass promotion in JKT48 Academy. The maximum member in a team should be increased into 20 members. They should stop to open audition for a while (I think, until late 2020 / early 2021).
4) Next Girls slot for this year SSK.

Prediction:
1) Team KIII and Team T new stage must be in mid/late 2019. Pajadrive will have a long age due to have many Academy members (if there'll be a new stage, it may be in 2020/2021). JKT48 may just release the studio recording only instead of video recording, but I wish they will release the video recording too.
2) JKT48 8th BD Concert, Kohaku Utagassen (maybe), SSK 19 in the late 2019. Maybe, no Janken. Mini shuffle may occur on the JKT48 Circus or 8th BD Concert.
3) Some of 2nd Gen. will announce her grad. I think there'll be 2 or 3 remaining. One of Team T member will announce her grad (1 - 3 remaining).
4) 9th Generation and another JKT48 Ori Song in late of this year.
5) Team J solo concert may be in late 2019 / early 2020.

Fear:
1) JKT48 disbandment.
2) JKT48 will be less famous.
3) Mass graduation due to have many members enter JKT48. May be eliminated by SSK, Selection, or etc.
4) The prediction won't be realized (all of them are general things in JKT48), there is no problem if they late to do it.
5) External conflict in JKT48.
