  • Malaysia Business Events Industry Remains Pertinent Through Association Management and New Congress Ambassador Appointment

    At the Association Day, the Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB) gathers a congregation of business events industry association executives and Kesatria members to discuss the need of bringing international business events to Malaysia. The enthralling event, which will be held at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL), is expected to attract industry professionals as well as 45 MyCEB conference ambassadors, namely the Kesatria.

    MyCEB kickstarted the journey of hosting Association Day in 2022 as a platform to share a cutting-edge space of continued education, advocacy and professionalism in association management. This year, the Bureau has co-organised with the Malaysia Society of Association Executive (MSAE) with a renewed goal to elevate the professionalism of association management.

    This year, the Association Day will mark an important milestone with the presence of a keynote speaker from the Chair of the Board of Directors of American Society of Association Executives, Ms. Lakisha Ann to further explain how effective association management operates in the United States.  As the mother of associations with an astounding number of over 22,000 executives, the Association Day welcomes a Keynote Speech by Ms. Lakisha to further enlighten the key areas of strength within associations.

    Crafting a full-day programme that will remarkably benefit all association members, the event welcomes a pipeline of informative yet engaging event as participants witness the opportunity to navigate effective association management through curated topics such as Harnessing the ‘Power of Associations Towards Nation Building’ and ‘From Zero to Hero’.

    To mark another milestone of celebrating 12 years of Kesatria membership, the premier congress ambassador programme for Malaysia, the ceremony honours an appointment of 5 new Kesatrias in addition to 40 of the members in this programme. Apart from association executives, Kesatrias represent the pioneers to the growth and development of Malaysia’s business events industry scene, equipped with unfaltering capabilities, expertise and knowledge that range from various key economic sectors such as science and medicine, research and innovation, education and law.

    YB Khairul Firdaus Akbar Khan, Deputy Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) emphasises, “The core business of MyCEB under MOTAC is to make Malaysia a world leader in the hosting of business, cultural and hallmark sporting events. It is in our interest to ensure that associations in Malaysia showcase our people and our capabilities. It is for this reason that it is important for associations to be well managed, and equipped with the necessary skills, as you become ambassadors for what Malaysia has to offer. Our common goal is to make Malaysia renowned as a key destination for international corporations to conduct business. With Associations being a leading driver of community development, we will be able to organically attract international businesses here.”

    Meanwhile, Dato’ Sri Dr. Abdul Khani Daud, CEO of MyCEB who welcomes the movers and shakers of the industry says, “We hope that by partnering with MSAE for Association Day, the national bureau is able to focus into the core subject matter, which is professional association management. As we are well aware, many associations managed by volunteer leaders ‘by accident’ get into this space, meanwhile, many other associations are taking association management as a profession. Therefore, MyCEB welcomes the members of the Board of Directors from American Society of Association Management (ASAE) in a timely manner to adopt their best practices, this is how association can harness the advancement of the community and society.”

    New MyCEB KESATRIA appointees are:

    1. Tan Sri Datuk Ter Leong-Yap – Honorary Life President, The Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Kuala Lumpur & Selangor
    2. Dato’ Dr. Hari Chandran Thambinayagam – Neurosurgeon, UM Specialist Centre
    3. Datuk Ar. Tan Pei Ing – Secretary-General, International Union of Architects (UIA)
    4. Datuk Jeffery Sandragesan – Honorary Consul in Basel¸ Embassy of Malaysia, Berne, Switzerland
    5. Jamalul Azizi Abdul Rahaman – Chairman, The Malaysian Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (MABIP)

  • AL-IKHSAN SPORTS LAUNCHES ‘ON’, THE HOTTEST TECHNICAL RUNNING SHOES

    In keeping with its core purpose of ” Keeping Malaysia Healthy and active”, Al-Ikhsan Sports manufactured one of the trendiest technical running shoes, “ON”. The business was started in 2010 and uses the technology “CloudTec®” as its primary product. The unique outsole and midsole design allows for “optimal comfort with least weight” for runners.

    Olivier Bernhard, a three-time world duathlon champion who combined all his experience to develop this shoe, came up with the idea for “ON”. This technology is so innovative that it attracted even Roger Federer, the greatest tennis player ever, to become one of its earliest investors.

    According to the Chief Executive Officer of Al-Ikhsan Sports, Vach Pillutla, “At Al-Ikhsan Sports, we always endeavor to bring the hottest global trends and brands to Malaysia and our plan to Launch ON is in line with our objectives. Today if you travel to any part of Europe, United States, Middle East or even the far east, you will find the brand to be extremely visible. I am personally a big fan of “ON” since it combines great design, technology and subtle use of fabric and color palettes. While other brands seem to be moving towards more chunky midsoles and outsoles, “ON” has taken a completely different approach which I am sure will find strong acceptance and patronage amongst the Malaysian sports lovers.”

    A total of 8 options for men and 6 options for women are offered to customers at Al-Ikhsan Sports covering 5 series. The 5 series are Cloud X, Cloud Flyer, Cloud Runner, Cloud Swift and Cloud Flow with prices starting from RM749 to RM899.

  • Hargai kepimpinan negara terdahulu urus perpaduan dalam kepelbagaian

    Memahami dan menghargai keunikan antara satu sama lain, bangsa, dan agama mestilah menjadi tunjang perpaduan rakyat Malaysia. Kepelbagaian sosial negara yang terdiri daripada berbilang kaum dan etnik telah diuruskan oleh pemimpin negara sejak sekian lama, menurut Menteri Perpaduan Negara Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang.

    “Kita lihat dahulu, sejak Malaysia terbentuk, semua Perdana Menteri mampu menguruskan kepelbagaian (rakyat) yang negara ada.

    “Rakyat bangsa lain, dalam negara juga diberi peluang (bersatu) yang kita panggil ‘unity in diversity’ itu,” katanya kepada media.

    Beliau berkata demikian dalam satu kenyataan ketika merasmikan Program Semarak Perpaduan di Pusat Transformasi Bandar (UTC) Selangor, Anggerik Mall, di sini, pada Isnin.

    Justeru, Ahli Parlimen Kanowit itu berharap, program seumpama itu dapat memberi manfaat kepada semua lapisan masyarakat untuk saling mengenali, memahami dan menghormati keunikan setiap etnik di Malaysia.

    “Program ini berpotensi menyebarluas kefahaman dan menyemai sikap toleransi khususnya dalam mencapai aspirasi Malaysia MADANI.

    “Penganjurannya bertujuan untuk memperluas tapak integrasi sosial di samping mempertingkat jalinan muhibah dalam kalangan masyarakat berbilang kaum, agama dan budaya,” katanya.

    Sementara itu, mengulas mengenai kenyataan Presiden Pejuang, Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir yang menggesa sekolah vernakular dimansuhkan bagi membolehkan Malaysia mempunyai perdana menteri bukan Melayu yang pertama akan datang, beliau menyifatkan ianya hanya pendapat peribadi semata-mata.

    “Sesiapa sahaja boleh berkata demikian, tetapi asasnya kita perlu saling menyokong sesama kita.

    “Hakikatnya, kita dari dahulu (pelbagai kaum) begitu, that is the greatest gift God give to us (Malaysia), jadi kita raikan kepelbagaian hidup bersama, dan uruskannya. Jadi, ia tiada isu pun sebenarnya,” katanya.
