MAGGI® SAH Malaysia! Showcases the Most Viral Mi MAGGI Creations

MAGGI® is a recognised global brand that is a household name in Malaysia. With its wide range of products and food solutions, MAGGI® helps mothers to prepare tasty and balanced homemade meals for their families every day, especially lazy moms on the go like yours truly here…..

My daughter and I grew up with Mi MAGGI® and we also survived the pandemic lockdowns with Mi MAGGI® …  Mi MAGGI® was there during the worse times of our life when we had barely enough to eat and also there during good times when we just wanted to enjoy something good… So we always have a few packets of Mi MAGGI® around, especially of the Kari and Pedas Giler Ayam Goreng flavours....

With that, Mi MAGGI® has already been around in Malaysia for 51 years and celebrated its annual MAGGI® SAH Malaysia! campaign,  organised in conjunction with Malaysia’s 65th Independence Day as well as the 59th Malaysia Day recently. The campaign reached its culmination via a Grand Finale and on ground fiesta celebration as MAGGI®‘s biggest event of the year, held today at the architectural and historical landmark of the Malaysia Tourism Centre (MaTiC).

 

Mi MAGGI® has always been a Malaysian favourite, from a hearty bowl of MAGGI® Soup noodles at home to a plate of MAGGI® Mi Goreng at the restaurant (since 1971!!!)

 

Juan Aranols, CEO of Nestle (Malaysia) Berhad speaking at the media event recently, said that the MAGGI® SAH Malaysia! campaign themed DuniaKu Bersama MAGGI® celebrates the richness and heritage of MAGGI® creations from home to food outlets, paying tribute to the culinary creativity of warungs, mamak stalls and food trucks nationwide, all of which form the colourful fabric of Malaysian lifestyle.

 

“MAGGI® SAH Malaysia!, into its third year, aims to bring out the best of Malaysian food culture – of eating together and connecting with one another at the local eateries with their favourite MAGGI® dish. Many food operators were hard hit during the COVID-19 pandemic but now with more Malaysians eating out and socialising again as normalcy resumed, this campaign aims to celebrate their unique and viral Mi MAGGI® creations!” said Juan.

 

Through the Kembara DuniaKu MAGGI®, SAH 

 

The MAGGI® SAH Malaysia! campaign also celebrates the creativity of consumers through the ResipiKu DuniaKu challenge, culminating in today’s “live” cook-off session where 12 consumer finalists battled it out for one of the three Grand Prizes of RM5,000 cash prizes each, and the winner was:

 

* Asmahani Mohamed, Botok Botok MAGGI®

* Faradilla Eamy Jaar, Sotong Sumbat Bakar MAGGI® Kuah Percik Bersambal

* Norsalina Jalaludin, Manok Pansoh MAGGI®

At the event, honorary plaques were also accorded to the Persatuan Pengusaha Restoran Muslim Malaysia (PRESMA) and Persatuan Pengusaha Restoran India, Malaysia (PRIMAS) in recognition of their contributions and efforts in regulating and revitalising the food operators’ businesses in Malaysia in the new normal, and for their long-standing support for MAGGI® by their members comprising over 4,500 and 1,500 vendors in PRESMA and PRIMAS, respectively.    

 

Ms. Geetha Balakrishna, Business Executive Officer of MAGGI®, Nestle (Malaysia) Berhad acknowledged that Malaysian food operators have journeyed for decades with MAGGI®, similarly with our diverse consumers across all walks of life who continue to enjoy MAGGI® good food moments while creating warm, memorable connections. MAGGI® SAH Malaysia! is a celebration of the long-standing relationship with Malaysians.

 

“In line with the spirit of “You and MAGGI®, Cook The Difference”, we aim to inspire and encourage Malaysians to make a difference through cooking - be it for themselves, for their loved ones at home or sustaining their food businesses through creating ‘eureka’ moments with crowd-pulling MAGGI® dishes,” quipped Geetha.

joan announces new single and music video for "don’t wanna be your friend"

Acclaimed alt pop duo joan has announced their highly anticipated upcoming single and video for “don’t wanna be your friend” out October 11th via Photo Finish Records. The single is the first taste of their forthcoming debut album.

“don’t wanna be your friend” was created after the band returned home from their biggest headline tour yet. Confiding, “we immediately started writing songs again when we got home. after over two years of releasing music without playing shows alongside those releases, we had never felt so energized and inspired to start working our best songs yet. “don’t wanna be your friend” was the first song that we wrote after tour, and we immediately knew it was an extremely special song.” 

Co-written with their friend Jon Capeci from the band Nightly, “don’t wanna be your friend” details the all too relatable feeling of being in a relationship with someone you love and feel close to but knowing that you need to move on as that person is not the right one for you. joan further reveals, “it’s also about growing up though and knowing that you just can’t continue being friends with each other, because you know how that situation turns out. hope this song resonates with you in some way - makes you realize you need to cut that person out of your life, makes you move, makes you want to start a band, makes you want to call your best friend :).”

“don’t wanna be your friend” features colorful synths over electronic-dipped landscapes and dream-filled melodies culminating into a sing-a-long worthy chorus. The song is a standout and empowering pop anthem all about moving on. The accompanying video shows joan’s light hearted and comedic side complete with an alien invasion to boot.

The Little Rock, Arkansas based twosome is known for creating expansive pop music productions from inside their bedrooms in deep middle America. Their infectious blend of pop eras, DIY, self sustaining aesthetic and deep connection with their fanbase has resulted in international success with over 120 million streams and sold out shows across the globe including headlining 15,000+ capacity venues in Asia.

Watch the music video HERE

joan (Alan Benjamin Thomas and Steven Rutherford) have spent the past few years building their world, single by single, tour date by tour date; from their debut EP, 2019’s portra, to the much-loved cloudy & its sister EP partly cloudy, to 2021's hi & bye EPs. Their songs have been streamed over 120 million times, with well over a million listeners a month across streaming platforms.

joan have enjoyed US and international tours supporting the likes of Jeremy Zucker, COIN, Bloc Party and The Aces, as well as playing to fans across Asia with headline shows and festivals in the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong - they return to Asia for the biggest shows yet, includes dates at a basketball arena and a theme park.

joan’s infectious blend of pop eras & styles belies their roots in Little Rock, Arkansas, but their sense of warmth and community from those around them at home gives their music a sense of belonging often missing from others’ and that extends to their fanbase, with whom they interact via a successful Patreon page and through free meet & greets at every show.

2023 promises to be the band’s biggest yet, with the release of their debut album and worldwide touring & festivals.

AEON Fashion Preview Nov 2022 - Feb 2022: Party Wear from Zoom Screen to Runway, Couple Connections and Lunar New Year Rabbits Invasion

AEON Fashion Preview 2022 (AFP22) debuted their new trends for November 2022 to February 2023 to cater to changing lifestyles and needs. 

The unveiling of AFP22 at Tapak Urban Street Dining KL featured four (4) main collections and assemblage: an AEON exclusive with Neonate x Guys’ Vision; Scarlet Loungewear becomes the life of parties; Ti:Zed leads in couple wear; and the upcoming invasion of rabbits to celebrate the Lunar New Year 2023.

"As we celebrate AEON’s 38th year in Malaysia, we are also thrilled to grow the various AEON’s fashion brands and fashion essentials such as Scarlet, Agenda, Suave and Crème; that have been so much a part of the Malaysians way of life from the growing years to building a strong career. We have been working on cutting-edge fabric technology that is continuously functional for customers’ needs, and we are also making it a priority to maintain aesthetics and promoting wellness – so you are seeing new brands such as innerCasual, iC as well as + Collection to fill in sizes gaps,” enthuses Naoya Okada the Deputy Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer of AEON CO. (M) BHD.

AEON is also taking the lead to drive the importance of dressing for self rather than dressing to impress others. From #ownwhatyouwear to #comfortfit, AEON is also initiating access to confidence, connectivity, collaboration and most of all, affordability. 

This year-end AFP22 is showcased along street-food, live music and performances by Orang Orang Drum Theatre, Yonnyboii, Aruel Ariel, and Aman RA – definitely planned as an out-of-truck experience.

1. Neonate x Guys’ Vision, an AEON exclusive

Popular Malaysian streetwear brand, Neonate Clothing Company which is established in 2019 by Karl Shafek Ibrahim and Ahmad Syahir Hamdan participated in the last inaugural installation of the AEON Fashion Preview and pitched successfully for a collaboration with AEON’s Guys’ Vision for the birth of the Neostalgia collection to be available for the first time at selected ten (10) AEON outlet nationwide - Alpha Angle, Taman Maluri, MidValley, Bandaraya Melaka, Nilai, Shah Alam, Bandar Utama, Cheras Selatan, Queensbay & Tebrau City. 

This collection sees colors and elements of the 60s to the 90s be given a breath of modernity such as the television test patterns and arcade games. Sporting the jersey fabric for lightweight and breathability, it is the epitome of an athleisure lifestyle both for indoor and outdoor. 

The most sustainable angle, this collection is fully made in Malaysia.

2. Party Wear: from Zoom Screen to the Runway

Year-end parties are officially back – but the comfort and freedom that we have built over habits of working from home in loungewear and even stylish sleep wear need not be discarded. 

AEON’s Scarlet Loungewear, a big proponent of relaxed fashion is inspired by effortless glam to dress up comfort and glorify coziness. You will likely party from your bedroom throughout December once you have tried on Scarlet Loungewear’s offering of soft stretch fabric made with cotton for luxurious comfort – how about an early Galentine’s PJ Party? Some of these outfits come with headbands, house slippers and even super cute, mismatched socks.

To ‘slay at partay’ is also all about fashion that allows you to groove flexibly, obliging the body in diverse shapes, weights and sizes. 

Guys’ Vision with its contemporary machine knit top and popular ankle knee pants while Crème with its various modern silhouettes in satin, dotted with sequins, small ruffles and asymmetrical hems will give you the sparkle you need to shine.

3. TwinningCoupleWear

A consciously matching outfit with your other half is fast becoming a trend around the world as couples desire to intensify their twosome identity post the last two years of harrowing lonely experience. After a period of being away from one another, this is indeed the season to be reconnected and twin wearing is definitely a form of unison and bonding.

 Match it well with Ti:Zed’s adorable pullovers, sweaters, and matchy cotton t-shirts that are in full print and colours. Guys’ Vision cotton and rayon simplicity will also pair easily with any of SCAR’s easy-going pieces.

4. Rabbits Invasion of the Lunar New Year 2023

This upcoming celebration of Lunar New Year 2023 is unsurprisingly in all shades of red yet the occasional jolt is also in the pastels that are the rabbits – the zodiac sign for 2023. Themed tù-gether, it is all about harnessing the energy of many rabbits bringing about the abundance and prosperity in health and wealth.

SCAR, which is AEON’s leading brand in trendy and youthful fashion wear reimagines classic silhouettes with modern twists be it with printed, lace and textured fabric as well as floral jacquard.

There is an extra focus from Arcadia on linen selections this year that comes in bright color of pleasing embroidery and monotone print.

Crème will spotlight flowy chiffon-like fabric with cheongsam and samfu detailing.

For other sizes and plus-sizes, + collection features versatility from machine- knit fabric to printed linen and festive embroidery detailing.

The brand that many grows up with and now have passed it on to their own children, J-Kids will provide a plethora of cotton choices that are distinctive in concepts to brighten up the festivity without interfering with the child’s active play time.

Guys’ Vision has a full range of comfortable cotton that is both in various bold print and plain coloured to celebrate in style.

Also launching ‘AEON tù-gether with White Rabbit’, both AEON’s SCAR and innerCasual are demonstrating a new kind of collaborative; of brands with high personalization. Introducing iron-on patches of rabbit visuals by artist Evelyn Pow Qian Ping that are inspired by the iconic brand of White Rabbit and then having StevenSunny, a renowned stylist, trend guru and fashion extraordinaire; customize these patches on favourite must-have essentials to welcome the new year, tù-gether takes on a new synergy of co-creation with the customers.

innercasual or iC is AEON’s inner wear specialty concept of functional innerwear, active wear and casual wear that has sustainability high on its agenda so working on a personalization program like this with SCAR, White Rabbit and the various artisanal talents speaks volume about AEON’s intention to extend lifecycles of every piece of apparel from AEON – that is made with so much love

This initiative is in line with AEON’s efforts in championing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal - 8 and 15, focusing to promote a peaceful and inclusive society for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective responsible and inclusive institutions at all levels; as well as protecting, restoring and promoting sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems.

SURIA KLCC BRINGS MENTAL HEALTH TO THE FOREFRONT IN MONTH-LONG AWARENESS CAMPAIGN

Mental health has always been an issue that’s in dire need of attention. This was true even long before COVID-19 struck Malaysia, and it continues to remain prevalent even as we recover in the endemic phase. One of the biggest obstacles to addressing mental health in this country is the stigma surrounding it.

Sadly, many older generations and many people around us poo-poohed any mention or any idea of any mental health problems… and sometimes they makes things worse by saying that these people suffering from mental health problems are just not grateful, or you should go pray etc…

Sadly and in reality, you are likely to get more sympathy with a broken bone or getting covid 19 then telling people you have mental health issues….

In conjunction with World Mental Health Month in October, Suria KLCC together with The Body Shop invites the public to be part of the change in de-stigmatising mental health problems in their month-long campaign. The campaign with the tagline #YouMatter starts today until 10 November 2022.

Suria KLCC will once again be joining hands with the Green Ribbon Group, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) that champions a community approach to mental health. Also in collaboration for this year’s campaign is MIASA (Mental Illness Awareness & Support Association).

As a lead-up to the #YouMatter campaign, artworks by youth artists with lived experiences of mental illness were showcased at the Park Mall of Suria KLCC entrance area from 3 October until 8 October 2022. 

These works of passion from the National Art Gallery (via the Young Art Entrepreneurs programme) illustrate the artists’ personal struggles.

Safe Space @ Suria KLCC

Suria KLCC is the first and only mall in Malaysia to take a mental health awareness campaign to the next level via the creation of a safe space for the community. This space, dubbed the Safe Space @ Suria KLCC, is designed for people to gather and converse on the subject of mental health.

The Safe Space @ Suria KLCC last year was a hit as it drew many visitors. As mental issues do not discriminate, this year’s mental health awareness campaign promotes a more inclusive approach. #YouMatter shines a light on mental health issues afflicting the youth today and what the community can do to help support them.

The Safe Space @ Suria KLCC will be open for the duration of this campaign and can be found at Level 1, Ampang Mall. Open from 10am to 10pm daily, the space will serve as a venue for engaging activities such as workshops, talks and panel discussions by mental health professionals. Visitors can also get more information from a mental health volunteers stationed here.

“The last two years marked a turbulent and uncertain time for all. With the pandemic in the rear- view mirror, there’s no better time to reconnect and focus on recovery. Mental health awareness is a long-term CSR effort by the Suria KLCC Group and we are committed to keeping the dialogue open. We’ve engaged professionals and those with specialised expertise to help in curating the content and activities that will be held in this area.

“The Safe Space @ Suria KLCC is a welcoming space where the community can come together to share and learn. After all, a problem shared is a problem halved - we want people to leave the space feeling better and with more insight about themselves or others,” said Andrew Brien, Executive Director of Suria KLCC Sdn Bhd.

Expressing her elation to be working with Suria KLCC for a second year running, Green Ribbon Group Founder and President, YAM Tengku Puteri Raja Tengku Puteri Iman Afzan Al-Sultan Abdullah said, “Efforts like the Safe Space must continue to not only show our support for those with mental health problems, but to also highlight our ongoing commitment towards doing more for the cause. The focus on youth mental health this year is especially timely for the Green Ribbon Group. We are very fortunate to be able to pilot programmes in secondary schools and universities that focus on mental health literacy, self-management and peer support. This has always been a dream of mine - to reach out to our youth and empower them to prioritise their mental health.”

“MIASA was where I began my advocacy and outreach. It is fantastic that we are now partners alongside Suria KLCC and The Body Shop for the Safe Space. Mental health knows no boundaries. Together we can always do more,” she added.

Founder and President of MIASA, Anita Abu Bakar said, “Looking after each other should be everyone’s responsibility and not just the health sector alone. This is why we should strive to prioritise community-based mental health support - so that the burden of care can be shifted from being shouldered solely by our incredible frontliners to being shouldered by all of us. Through efforts like this, it is our sincere hope that the scale of our response to the issues surrounding community mental health can begin to match the scale of the challenge itself.

“This collaboration with the Safe Space sets an example of how collective effort can create a big impact and spur action in the community. MIASA is honoured to be part of this initiative and would like to welcome everyone, especially the youth, to enjoy this space.”

Managing Director of The Body Shop Malaysia, Datin Mina Cheah said, “"At The Body Shop, we believe that the voices of our youth matter and they should be seen and be heard. As we step into World Mental Health month, it is important to create awareness about mental health and well- being, especially for young people. Setting up this Safe Space alongside Suria KLCC, MIASA and Green Ribbon Group is our way of advocating for our youth through promoting and protecting the value of mental health. Young people with their youthful energy and ideals are the change the world needs today. Thus, overcoming stigma, building resilience and empowering their self- esteem is truly a community effort to ensure we help them reach their potential as the changemakers of today and tomorrow.”

In addition, Suria KLCC has pledged to support NGOs championing mental health through monetary support from the sales of the Suria Ribbon Pin during festive campaigns. So far, a fund of over RM20,000 has been raised and donated to mental health-related NGOs, such as Befrienders KL and the Malaysian Mental Health Association. This is an on-going initiative and the Suria Ribbon Pin can be purchased from the Concierge at RM10 per pin.

About the Green Ribbon Group

The Green Ribbon Group is passionate about contributing towards an empathetic, world-class community approach to mental health in Malaysia. It aims to empower stakeholders involved in raising mental health awareness through advocacy, fundraising and collaboration. It was set up by YAM Tengku Puteri Raja Tengku Puteri Iman Afzan Al-Sultan Abdullah and Puteri Nor Ariane Yasmin in January 2021 during YAM Tengku Puteri’s tenure as International Patron of World Mental Health Day 2020-2021.
