Abang Adik (Malay: 'Abang Adik'; Chinese: 富都青年, lit. 'Pudu Youngsters') is a 2023 neo-noir crime drama film written and directed by Jin Ong in his feature directorial debut. The film tells the story of a pair of undocumented orphans in Malaysia, Abang (Wu Kang-ren), a deaf-mute person and his indignant younger brother Adik (Jack Tan) who struggle in a poverty-stricken and crime-ridden environment. Serene Lim, April Chan, Tan Kim Wang, and Bront Palarae appear in supporting roles.

Abang Adik received critical acclaim upon its release–particularly for its writing, story, and for the performance of Wu Kang-ren. The movie was a surprise box office success in Taiwan, earning over $4 million during its initial theatrical run. The film went on to receive multiple award nominations, including seven Golden Horse Awards nominations, with Wu Kang-ren winning Best Actor. It was selected as the Malaysian entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards, but was not nominated.
