This video: https://youtu.be/BuAULI7PbRw?t=7

They are obviously Asian, and I seem to recognize some of the letters as being Chinese. Also, the song itself seems to be a famous/classic Chinese song which I've heard in other contexts as well.

However, there is also a "Romanized" or "Latinized" text above the Chinese (?) text, which confuses me.

Also, the video description contains a .my link, which is the TLD for Malaysia.

So, are they Malaysian or Chinese? And if they are Malaysian, why are they singing a Chinese song in Chinese?

Bonus points if you can tell me where and when they recorded the video.

The link below the video goes to their Facebook page where it is quite clear the company itself is in Malaysia. Since Malaysia's only official language is not related to Chinese, it is quite possible (but impossible to determine) that the girls are part of Malaysia's Chinese minority. But the video might have been shot in another country and/or with people from another country.

The Romanization you refer to is called "pinyin." It has been standard in mainland China for decades and is rapidly becoming standard in Taiwan.

But your question really doesn't belong here, since it is not about Travel.
