Kerana Padi Reborn berada di sana untuk memperingati ulang tahun ke-25 mereka dalam persada muzik nusantara, kehilangan penghibur bersama barisan vokalis adalah satu pengalaman yang indah.
Konsert 25 Tahun Padi Reborn dibawakan sekali lagi oleh Qew Communications Sdn Bhd (Qew Comm), penganjur sama yang membawa mereka bertandang dan menyapa Sobatpadi beberapa tahun lalu.
Kini sempena ulang tahun jubli perak mereka, Padi Reborn belum terlambat merayakannya bersama Sobatpadi dan penggemar muzik pada 3 Disember 2022 di Zepp Kuala Lumpur.
Sebelum menggunakan nama Padi Reborn, lima karyawan seni ini memulakan langkah awal dalam dunia hiburan dengan nama Padi pada sekitar tahun 1997.
Album Lain Dunia yang dipasarkan setahun kemudian meledak, mengutip lebih 800 ribu unit jualan dan menyemarakkan nama Padi sebagai antara kumpulan terbaik di Indonesia.
Dua tahun setelah kelahiran album Lain Dunia, mereka kembali dengan Sesuatu yang Tertunda pada tahun 2001 dan terjual sebanyal 1.6 juta unit jualan dan meraih 10 kali platinum pada 2002.
Pada 2003, Padi melancarkan album Save My Soul dan dilanjutkan album Padi – self titled tahun 2005 dan Tak Hanya Diam tahun 2007.
Pasca hiatus tujuh tahun lamanya dari industri hiburan, grup musik Padi kembali dengan semangat baru bertransformasi menjadi Padi Reborn. Setelah ‘comeback’ dari tidur yang panjang dan bersatu kembali di tahun 2017, Padi Reborn menelurkan album Indera Keenam (2019) serta karya dan terobosan yang belum pernah dilakukan sebelumnya.
Mulai dari melancarkan single, album terbaru, video klip dan kolaborasi filem pendek, menjadi hos untuk program televisyen swasta hinggalah menciptakan lagu pendek bersama Satgas Penanganan Covid-19.
Dengan pelbagai anugerah yang telah dimenangi, perjalanan panjang 25 tahun yang direntasi, Konsert 25 Tahun Padi adalah sesuatu yang tidak wajar ditunda atau ditinggalkan.
Selamat berhibur Sobatpadi pada 3 Disember 2022 di Zepp KL. Nantikan maklumat selanjutkan dari Qew Comm kelak.
Tiket-tiket dengan harga RM199 (CAT 1), RM169 (CAT 2), RM339 (CAT 3), RM269 (CAT 4) dan RM6,000 (VIP) akan mulai dijual mulai jam 11 pagi, 28 September 2021 di https://www.ticket2u.com.my .

KUALA LUMPUR, 12 Oktober: Perkembangan politik negara kini menjadi kebimbangan semua pihak, khususnya rakyat.
Ditambah dengan kenyataan oleh Istana Negara baru-baru ini yang memaklumkan Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah Ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Al-Musta’in Billah menzahirkan rasa kecewa dengan keadaan politik semasa telah menjentik hati rakyat negara ini.
Persatuan Pengguna Islam Malaysia (PPIM) secara konsisten menegaskan pertubuhan ini tidak menyebelahi mana-mana pihak dalam arena politik negara.
Ketua Aktivis PPIM, Nadzim Johan@toqqi berkata PPIM berkongsi kegusaran rakyat yang bimbang dengan masa depan serta maruah negara jika kepimpinan negara jatuh ke tangan pihak tidak sepatutnya akibat daripada percakaran ahli politik beragama Islam.
“Jika kita mahu berjaya, mahu kekal menjadi pentadbir di negara yang bertuah penuh barokah ini, kita sebagai umat Islam harus bersatu, tidak ada jalan lain,” tegasnya.
Nadzim menyambut baik saranan PAS yang mahu penyatuan ummah menjadi realiti apabila kuasa besar negara ini bersama-sama berjuang dalam arena politik.
“Kami di PPIM amat bersetuju jika kuasa besar orang melayu, orang Islam bergabung dan kembali memerintah negara kita,
“Sejarah membuktikan umat Islam negara ini tidak pernah mengenepikan hak bukan Islam malah kebebasan beragama, berniaga dan hidup aman damai bersama di Malaysia antara perkara yang amat kita banggakan di rantau ini.
Tidak ada pemimpin negara lain boleh menyatupadukan rakyat pelbagai agama berbilang kaum seperti yang kita lakukan di negara ini,” katanya.
Nadzim berkata PPIM sentiasa menyokong usaha mana-mana pihak yang mahu bekerjasama dan menolak kerakusan mengejar kuasa dan tamak.
“PPIM akan menyatakan sokongan dari masa ke semasa kepada calon tertentu yang dilihat mampu membawa isu rakyat dan tidak mementingkan diri,
“Lihatlah negara kita kini, apa nasib rakyat jika pemimpin di atas sana terus bercakaran dan mencari kesalahan serta kelemahan sesama mereka, apa salahnya mereka bergabung dan berganding bahu menggunakan kelebihan masing-masing demi masa depan negara yang lebih baik,” katanya.
Nadzim berkata situasi politik negara kini tidak sedikitpun membantu masalah dihadapi rakyat seperti krisis ekonomi, kesukaran mendapat pekerjaan, ditekan oleh pemimpin zalim dan diselebungi rasa takut kehilangan negara sendiri.

Petaling Jaya, 12 Oktober 2022 – Pada 9 Oktober 2022, FIT FOR ACTION, yang disiarkan mulai jam 9 malam. hingga 10 malam di TV3 dan strim langsung dalam HD di www.tonton.com.my, ditutup selepas enam minggu berlakon dan mempelajari kemahiran lakonan.
FIT FOR ACTION, program pertandingan realiti baharu yang berkonsepkan cabaran lakon – layar dan fizikal untuk mencari pelakon lelaki dan pelakon wanita versatil Malaysia telah mengumumkan Muaz dan Raden sebagai juara manakala Marc Syammie dan Lisa sebagai naib juara.
Juara FIT FOR ACTION telah memenangi kontrak tawaran berlakon di saluran Media Prima beserta trofi. Naib juara juga membawa pulang trofi.
Sepanjang dua bulan, tunjuk ajar daripada pengarah terkemuka iaitu Datuk Yusof Haslam, Aziz.M.Osman, Heykal Hanifah dan Ellie Suriaty telah melengkapkan 12 peserta untuk melebarkan sayap mereka ke industri seni lakonan. Para peserta juga diuji dengan cabaran fizikal oleh Nana Al Khaled. Selain itu, mereka juga berpeluang untuk menimba ilmu dan berkongsi pengalaman berlakon di samping pelakon-pelakon hebat tanah air seperti Sharifah Rose dan Gambit Saifullah.
Juara bersama FIT FOR ACTION, Muaz 25 tahun berasal di Selangor menyatakan bahawa kejayaan ini adalah sesuatu yang tak diduga kerana beliau tidak mempunyai apa-apa pengalaman berlakon sebelum ini. Tambahan pula, beliau hampir tidak dapat teruskan dengan peringkat kedua uji bakat FIT FOR ACTION (callcasting) kerana perlu menjalani kuarantin setelah menjadi kontak rapat Covid-19. Mujurlah ia hanya untuk jangka masa yang singkat, peluang untuk meneruskan call casting tidak dilepaskan begitu sahaja oleh Muaz. Terbukti usaha ini berbaloi dengan kejayaan tidak duga sebagai juara akhirnya.
Raden Zaharatul atau lebih mesra dengan panggilan Raden iaitu juara bersama FIT FOR ACTION sudah ada pengalaman dalam lakonan sebagai pelakon tambahan. Apa yang diinginkan oleh Raden dalam menyertai FIT FOR ACTION adalah untuk mengasah bakat dan mendapat tunjuk ajar dari penggiat seni berpengalaman dan telah berjaya. Dengan kejayaan yang beliau perolehi dalam FIT FOR ACTION, beliau amatlah berharap untuk berpeluang menjadi pelakon utama pada masa hadapan.
Jika kerjaya sebagai seorang pelakon menjadi perjalanan hidupnya yang akan datang, Raden menyatakan bahawa beliau bersedia dan siap dari segi mental untuk berdepan dengan kontroversi atau kecaman sebagai seorang anak seni. Menurut Raden, “Perkara ini adalah benda yang tidak boleh kawal. Apa yang kita boleh kawal adalah kita diri sendiri, kita nak buat baik atau jahat itu terletak pada diri sendiri.” Bagi Muaz pula, “Kecaman dan kontroversi tidak boleh halang, tapi kita boleh elak. Kita boleh pastikan kita tak buat kesilapan yang boleh dielak.”
Sepanjang penyertaan Muaz dan Raden dalam FIT FOR ACTION dari minggu pertama sehingga minggu akhir, terlalu banyak saat atau momen yang menjadi ingatan sama ada yang menggembirakan atau yang menyedihkan. Bagi Muaz, penyingkiran pada awal FIT FOR ACTION dan perlu meninggalkan peserta yang lain adalah sesuatu yang amat mengecewakan dan menjadi momen yang sedih untuk beliau. Namun momen memperolehi kemasukan melalui “wild card” kembali menghidupkan peluang Muaz dalam pertandingan ini. Begitu juga dengan Raden yang turut terkesan dengan penyingkiran beliau di episod 4 dan kemasukan semula melalui “wildcard”. Raden akan sentiasa mengingati momen-momen pada setiap minggu FFA terutamanya saat penyingkiran di setiap pusingan.
FIT FOR ACTION dicergaskan lagi dengan Dutch Lady sebagai penaja bersama dan Centrum sebagai rakan penaja. Program realiti ini turut dimeriahkan dengan kehadiran Hot FM sebagai rakan radio rasmi, serta Xtra dan Oh Bulan! sebagai rakan digital.
Ribuan terima kasih ke atas sokongan yang diberikan ke atas rancangan FIT FOR ACTION. Untuk maklumat lanjut dan perkembangan terkini tentang program TV3, layari www.xtra.com.my dan ikuti laman media sosial rasmi Facebook, Instagram & Twitter di @TV3Malaysia.
Kuala Lumpur, 11 October 2022 – Mental health has long been a subject in desperate need of attention. This was true long before COVID-19 impacted Malaysia, and it is still true now that we are in the endemic phase. One of the most significant barriers to addressing mental health in this country is the stigma associated with it.
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.
Following the success of last year’s mental health awareness campaign, 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.

Kuala Lumpur, 11th October 2022 – In honour of BMW M GmbH’s 50th anniversary, BMW Malaysia announces the beginning of online pre-orders for the First-Ever BMW XM, the company’s first high-performance, luxurious SAV with an electric drive, starting on October 20, 2022.
Currently in the final stages of its development, the First-Ever BMW XM features the seamless BMW M HYBRID drive system, coupled with model-specific M suspension technology to create an unmatched, dynamic driving experience. Production is anticipated to begin at the US BMW Group Spartanburg plant in December 2022.
Hans de Visser, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia, expressed, “We are beyond thrilled to introduce the First-Ever BMW XM to Malaysia. This exclusive Sports Activity Vehicle is the first-ever BMW M GmbH high-performing car to feature an M HYBRID drive system, thus extending the realm of e-mobility within the high-performance car segment in Malaysia. It is an electrifying reinvention of automotive ideals and the extreme performance characteristics will make every drive a luxurious experience for our Malaysian customers and supporters.”
He added, “Our team at BMW Group Malaysia was truly touched by the enthusiastic support from our massive BMW M community at the recent ///M event on Malaysia Day. The overwhelming excitement and love, coupled with the debut of the First-Ever BMW XM at the end of BMW M GmbH’s anniversary year, makes this announcement particularly well-timed.”
The First-Ever BMW XM marks the dawn of a new era: for the first time since the introduction of the legendary BMW M1 in the 1970s, BMW M GmbH is presenting an independently-developed production model – one that possesses exceptional specifications in every respect. Uncompromising in both performance and luxury, the special status of the First-Ever BMW XM is reflected in many individual details, with material quality, workmanship and exclusivity underpinning its exceptional status.
Uncompromising and unmistakable.
The First-Ever BMW XM combines the design language of the BMW X models with bold extroversion and uncompromising luxury. This, in combination with the superior performance of a BMW M model, makes for an electrifying appearance. The result is an exciting appearance that goes beyond the traditional codes and conventions. As standard, the First-Ever BMW XM features the M Aerodynamics Package and M High-Gloss Shadow Line, with Extended Contents available for the Shadow Line profile. Other than that, Adaptive LED headlights with High-beam Assistant are also included as standard.
From the front, the First-Ever BMW XM features a large kidney grille with hallmark M horizontal double louvres, furnished with illuminated kidney grille contours. Above it, sits two power domes as elements of the expressively sculpted bonnet. Flanking the grilles are slender, extremely defined headlights, which are split into two separate modules each for daytime running lights and low/high beam.
Moving onto the sides, the First-Ever BMW XM’s unmistakable silhouette is characterised by a sloping roofline, which lends it a particularly muscular and commanding appearance. With a distinctly tapered rear, the side windows offer a striking accent that emphasises the vehicle’s dynamic profile. Enhancing the side profile is a nightgold-coloured trim strip running parallel to the window line. 23-inch M Star Spoke 923 M wheels in Bicolour Nightgold (23-inch M Law Star Spoke 923 M in Bicolour Black for Shadow Line profile) denote its bold and sporty character, while the charger cap signifies its status as a plug-in hybrid SAV.
The rear of the First-Ever BMW XM has been sculpted in a way that presents a particularly powerful look, due in part to its distinctively flared wheel arches. Its width is further emphasised by the slimline and sharply defined L-shaped taillights. As with every BMW M model, the First-Ever BMW XM features two twin tailpipes. However, distinguishing the electrified BMW M SAV is that for the first time, the hexagonal tailpipes have been arranged vertically, creating a unique interpretation of a signature M feature, while underlining the exceptional position of the most powerful BMW M model thus far, within the BMW M model family.
As for dimensions, the First-Ever BMW XM measures 5,100 mm in length, 2,005 mm in width and 1,755 mm in height, while its wheelbase measures 3,105 mm. Luggage capacity for the SAV is measured at 527 litres, which is expandable to 1,820 litres.
Exquisite exterior, stunning interior.
The First-Ever BMW XM is not only exquisite on the outside, but is equally stunning on the inside. Besides the interior trim finishers in carbon fibre, the cabin of the SAV is defined by the BMW Curved Display, consisting of an Information Display and a high-resolution touchscreen Control Display. A familiar BMW driver orientation, as well as BMW M-specific displays ensure that the driver has total control of all driving functions and data at any point in time. Visually denoting the M status of the SAV are the M Leather Steering Wheel, M Seat Belts and M Multifunctional Seats.
Besides that, new vintage leather in Coffee Brown has been utilised on the door panels, as well as the upper sections of the instrument panel – enhanced further by a special finishing process that brings out the natural characteristics of the Walknappa leather to perfection. For greater comfort, active seat ventilation and 4-zone automatic air conditioning control are included. Massage function is also available for the driver and front passenger. On the other hand, ambient light and BMW Iconic Sounds Electric further enhance the atmosphere within the cabin, while in-car entertainment is provided by the Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System.
Moving on towards the rear of the cabin, the M Lounge provides a bold contrast to the cockpit. First-class seating comfort is ensured by a full-width rear seat bench that curves and encloses the passengers. Meanwhile, sophisticated upholstery lends the space an exclusive lounge feel. Finally, Alcantara headliner with its prismatic 3D structure creates a visual highlight that contributes to a unique sense of space, perfectly showcasing luxury and comfort in the most impressive manner.
More powerful than ever, with superb agility.
The First-Ever BMW XM is the first BMW M model with a plug-in hybrid drive. The combination of an internal combustion engine – itself delivering 360 kw / 489 hp and a maximum torque of 650 Nm – with an electric motor adds an extra edge to its hallmark M performance while simultaneously increasing efficiency. At its unveiling, the First-Ever BMW XM comes exclusively with the M HYBRID technology, based on an all-new 4.4-litre M TwinPower Turbo V8. At the same time, in conjunction with the flap-controlled sports exhaust system, a striking soundscape that perfectly matches the vehicle’s extroverted character is created.
Total powertrain output of the First-Ever BMW XM is rated at an astounding 480 kW / 653 hp and 800 Nm of torque, delivered via an eight-speed Steptronic Sport automatic transmission. Century sprint takes just 4.3 seconds. With the inclusion of Launch Control, maximum accelerated is ensured from a standstill. For the First-Ever BMW XM, top speed is capped at 250 km/h (270 km/h with the M Driver’s package, which is included as standard), while electric top speed is capped at 140 km/h.
As expected from a BMW M vehicle, the electrified SAV – featuring the intelligent M xDrive all-wheel drive system as standard – delivers impressive driving dynamics, optimum handling and maximum traction. In addition to the basic 4WD setting, drivers can select the 4WD Sport mode, which is biased to the rear and makes for superb agility. When driving on loose surfaces, the 4WD Sand mode is available to optimise traction, achieved as the standard M Sport differential ensures variable distribution of drive power between the rear wheels for improved traction and driving stability.
With Adaptive M Suspension Professional as standard, the First-Ever BMW XM is equipped with electronically controlled dampers and features Active Roll Stabilisation that reduces lateral body movements. This creates greater agility and improved cornering behaviour. Besides that, Integral Active Steering is another component of the chassis design – by turning the rear wheels in tandem with the front wheel at higher speeds, greater vehicle stability is ensured. At lower speeds, the rear wheels instead steer in the opposite direction of the front wheels, improving manoeuvrability.
In addition to the vehicle’s low centre of gravity, advanced control systems such as the actuator-based wheel slip limitation also contribute to the supremely dynamic handling of the First-Ever BMW XM. Optimum deceleration is ensured by the standard M Sport brakes in Black High-Gloss, with 508 mm compound brake discs on the front axle.
Meanwhile, the high-voltage battery located deep in the vehicle floor enables an all-electric range of up to 88 kilometres. The First-Ever BMW XM can be charged at up to 7.4 kW at an AC charging station. With a battery capacity of 25.7 kWh (net), a complete charge from 0% to 100% takes 4 hours and 15 minutes.
Perfect connectivity, optimal ease of use.
It goes without saying that connectivity goes hand-in-hand with the ultimate driving experience.

LAS VEGAS – 11 October 2022: At IMEX America 2022, the world’s largest expo for incentive travel, meetings, and events, which will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, from October 11–13, 2022, Malaysia Convention and Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB) will continue to highlight Malaysia’s top offers in the corporate events sector. IMEX, which is the largest trade exhibition for the international meetings, events, and incentive travel market in the United States, brings together over 3,000 suppliers and 4,000 customers from all facets of the international meetings industry in order to provide chances for high-yield corporate events and, more crucially, a setting for international cooperation.
Marking the tenth year of participation at this prestigious trade show, MyCEB has continuously taken this platform to attract more business opportunities and elevate Malaysia’s position as one of the world’s preferred international business events destinations. This vision augurs well with the establishment of the national bureau and is strongly supported by industry partners who will be co-exhibiting at the show, namely Penang Convention and Exhibition Bureau (PCEB), Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, (The Centre), Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK), Langkawi International Convention Centre (LICC), Shangri-La Hotel Kuala Lumpur and Hilton Malaysia.
“Establishing the grounds of Malaysia as a top-of-the mind business events destination to the North America is a prominent step that mirrors the country’s standing on welcoming high-profile conferences and corporate incentive travel to our destination in addition to the current track record we have successfully secured. Malaysia’s presence shall reflect our readiness in welcoming international business events back to the country whilst securing more leads upon business matching sessions. This is in line with the various campaigns and initiatives curated by MyCEB, including the 3R Initiative – Reset, Restart, Responsible, Meet in Malaysia Campaign, and MySafe Business Events Planner that will strengthen the sector’s capability via comprehensive upskilling programmes and certifications, as well as the offering of generous incentives to our international delegates,” says Dato’ Sri Abdul Khani Daud, CEO of MyCEB.
Since our establishment, MyCEB has won total of 1,403 business events and 7.2% of the leads originated from North America, contributing an estimated $286 million USD of economic impact. As the country reopens its borders in April 2022, MyCEB successfully won 3 new business events estimated to contribute $6 million USD to the Malaysian economy. Happening in the next 2 years, Malaysia will be welcoming the Annual Conference of the International Association for Impact Assessment (IAIA) in 2023 and 12th World Federation of Chiropractic Education Conference in 2024 that is expected to receive 1700 delegates. Hence the reason for MyCEB and its industry partners’ continued involvement in IMEX America for the past ten years, signifying the importance of the region’s market to Malaysia.
Collaboration is a strategic move embraced by MyCEB as we follow the last year’s signing of agreement with Thailand Convention Bureau (TCEB), Thailand Incentive and Convention Association (TICA), Seoul Tourism Organisation, and Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) under the Asia Convention Alliance, all parties have reached a mutual consensus to meet and discuss the development and way forward for the alliance during IMEX America. On a global front, as part of Hybrid City Alliance, MyCEB is making progress for Kuala Lumpur in the HCA-ICCA Global Meetings Protocol.
Continuing efforts of sustainability in mind, MyCEB also takes part in the Planet and People Pledge initiated by IMEX, which is a commitment to benefit people and the environment through telling stories and taking action. The national bureau is committed to reduce waste by using sustainable booth materials, reducing usage of single-use plastics and papers, including brochures as well as offering sustainable giveaways. It’s part of a collective effort in creating a low impact trade show.
