  • CELEBRATING THEIR RENEWED PARTNERSHIP IS HISENSE AND PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN.

    The multinational business Hisense, which manufactures appliances and consumer electronics, has renewed its sponsorship of Paris Saint-Germain for a further two years. It will be in effect through the conclusion of the 2024–25 season. The two organizations began their international collaboration in August 2020.

    Hisense has cemented its place as a global leader in technology for the home in the last two decades, which is the result of a long-term commitment it has shown to some of the world’s most loved sporting properties, which include the FIFA World Cup 2022™ as well as its newly announced sponsorship of the UEFA EURO 2024™. The extension of Hisense’s partnership with Paris Saint-Germain is a further illustration of this, and it will see the company double down on its mission to improve the viewing experience for football fans around the world.

    Throughout its partnership with the Parisian club, Hisense TV now comes with an in-built Sports Mode as standard. On top of this, Hisense has released three advertisements starring Paris Saint-Germain players since the commercial relationship was first agreed, the most recent of which, launched in March 2023, earned over 106 million impressions and 48.3 million views. By partnering with the Parisian club, Hisense can count on one of the largest communities in world sport, with over 200 million followers, to attract new customers through innovative campaigns.

    “We are delighted to be continuing our adventure with Hisense, a company that shares our philosophy. Innovation is at the heart of our collaboration and our determination to continue enriching the experience of our customers and fans beyond the screen.” Marc Armstrong, Chief Revenue Officer of Paris Saint-Germain

    Catherine Fang, Executive Vice President, Hisense International, added, “The relationship with Paris Saint-Germain represents an integral part of Hisense’s wider sports strategy, bringing happiness to millions of families through technological innovation and delivering perfect TV quality to consumers in Europe. We believe that through this partnership, we can continue to create the best possible at-home viewing experience for the Parisian club and its fans throughout the world.”

Hisense will continue to provide consumers with extraordinary experiences while watching games with families and friends. The renewal of this partnership will enable us to continue to offer Paris Saint-Germain fans the best possible viewing experience worldwide.

  • DATO SHAKE LIVE AT ZEPP KL IN 2023, AS AN INTERNATIONAL ENTERTAINER.

    Reciting the names of his four iconic songs—You Know I Love You (“Tu sais je t’aime”), Umi, Pulanglah, and Anugerah Dari Kegalagan—will help fans understand this brilliant artist’s meaning right away.

    At initially, Dato’ Sheikh Abdullah’s  branding  or  commercial  name was  “Shake.” Together with  the  well-known actor  Bruce  Lee,  he  was  the  first  Asian  artist  to  achieve  fame  in  France,  Europe  and  French-speaking countries, including Canada, to singing in French in 1976.

    He  recorded  his  debut  song  in  Malay  in  1983,  and  afterwards  adopted  the  stage  name  “Dato’  Shake”.

    Dato’ Shake gained  fame as a well-known international artist  based in  Paris and was awarded  the  Chevalier  des  Arts  et  Lettre  (Knight  of  the  Order  of  Arts,  Letters,  and  Merits)  by  the  French  government for his contribution to promoting the French language and culture throughout Asia.

    As  his  gift  to  bring Malaysia  to  the eye  of  the world  through  his  career  in  the music  industry, His  Majesty  the  Sultan  of  Johor  (Malaysia),  the  late  Sultan  Ismail  Ibni  Almarhum  Sultan  Ibrahim  Al  Masyhur bestowed the title of Dato’ on Shake in 1979. Dato’ Shake is a very special person, and his  presence has had a high impact on the music industry.

    InTour  Live  Events  is  pleased  to  host  the  Dato’  Shake  Zepp  KL  Concert  on  16  December 2023, in recognition of the many souls in Malaysia  that want a melodic  voice and to witness this  performer of the highest caliber on the international stage.

    The spectacular chronological exploration of his musical career will be shown this evening.

    The best songs from his musical career will all be  performed, including his  well-known and unforgettable Malay and French tunes, which are perennially popular both in Malaysia and abroad.

    The Dato’ Shake Zepp KL Concert, according to InTour Live Events, is an event for fans to go back in time with Dato’ Shake’s classics that have been popular since the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.

    Of course, the most recent works—such as Chameleon  (2012)—will be a feast for the ears and available to be heard live on December 16, 2023, at a concert put on by InTour Live Events.

    Dato’ Shake is a remarkably unique artist. He is unquestionably talented, but more significantly, he is also adaptable. There is no doubt that he is a naturally brilliant man who sings well in Malay, English, and French; he comes close to the term “fusion.” Through his Malay ballads, pop songs, and new-world rock  songs, fans will experience the nostalgia of the old world. From 1988, when he  relocated to Hollywood, California, to 2011, new songs were recorded.

    “We are therefore thrilled to host  the Dato’ Shake Zepp KL Concert because fans will not only be able to leave with nostalgia through his Malay songs but will also be fascinated by the pop and rock genres in French and English that make him a renowned entertainer.

    Furthermore, we at InTour Live Events and iMe Entertainment Group are hopeful that the Dato’ Shake Zepp KL Concert will allay  fans’ cravings for the  adored legend. Fans will see a  top-notch performance by the renowned Parisian musicians who have supported Dato’ Shake consistently  throughout his career,” said Bonor Seen, Managing Director of InTour Live Events.

    Dato’ Shake has been planning his dream trip back to his beloved homeland, Malaysia, to meet his fans here since 2020.

    The plan, which was postponed because of the pandemic, will, however, soon come to pass when InTour Live Events and iMe Entertainment Group suggest that the  legend, who now calls Paris, France home, hold a concert.

    Yes, the concert with the musical  concept is a magical moment for Dato’ Shake with his charismatic stage costume, especially his amazing vocals. This is Dato’ Shake’s message to his fans.

    “The promise will be kept for the fans who still love me. In  2020,  I  plan  to  do  a  big  tour  all  over  Malaysia  and  Asia!  Unfortunately, the pandemic ruined everyone’s plans, including mine! We entertainers decided to move forward with the help and love of God and the people. We look forward to seeing you soon at Zepp KL! I will return to Malaysia for the Dato’ Shake Zepp KL Concert on December 16, 2023. See you all later! I can’t wait to perform at Zepp KL because there are many good reviews about Zepp as one of the best stages,” he said excitedly.

    He will perform his original songs in three languages, namely French, English, and Malay, to recreate the musical journey of his career from 1976 to 2023 and revive the musical nostalgia of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s as well as the present.

    On December 16, 2023, at 8.30 p.m., this international artist will perform for fans at the Dato’ Shake Zepp KL performance for 90 minutes. Prices for concerts range from RM358.

    Dato’ Shake is a famous performer who needs to be cited as an example for the current generation of musicians; thus, it will be one of the best closing concerts 2023 fans have ever seen.

    The concert’s official radio partner is Sinar FM, while the official digital partner is Astro Gempak.

I would also like to take this opportunity to invite everyone, especially the rakyat of Malaysia, to visit the Exposure+Photo 2023 festival at its many venues around our beloved capital city and immerse themselves in the various programs we have lined up throughout the period.

  • ADAMS 2023 PAVES THE WAY FOR MALAYSIA TO BECOME THE EPICENTER OF MEDICAL AESTHETIC TOURISM.

    The Asia Dermatology & Aesthetic Medicine Summit (ADAMS) second edition was proudly hosted by KO Academy, an internal training institution under DR. KO Skin Specialist (DR. KO), at the Shangri-La Hotel Kuala Lumpur today. KO Academy is committed to establishing Malaysia as a center for medical aesthetic tourism. Major industry participants, including the Malaysia Tourism Agency Association (MATA), the Malaysia Society of Aesthetic Medicine (MSAM), the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC), the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE), and the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), attended the event.

    Officiated by Tourism Malaysia’s Director General, Dato’ Dr. Ammar Abd. Ghapar, ADAMS 2023 was held from September 23 to 24, 2023, at Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur, attracting over 600 local and international medical experts and industry professionals. The summit featured more than 50 exhibition booths by leading medical brands, solidifying its position as the premier regional event in the fields of dermatology and aesthetic medicine.

    In his speech, Ammar highlighted that Malaysia welcomed more than 800,000 healthcare travelers, generating around RM1.3 billion in revenue in 2022 alone, underscoring the positive recovery of the country’s healthcare travel industry in the post-pandemic era. “Hence, let us leverage this opportunity to take our medical community to the next level, and ADAMS, this year in its second edition, has become an excellent avenue for dermatologists, plastic surgeons, aesthetic doctors, and other specialists to network, exchange knowledge, and discuss the latest trends and technologies.”

    A standout event at ADAMS 2023 was the forum titled “Making Malaysia the Regional Destination for Medical Aesthetic Tourism.” The diverse panel included experts and public figures such as Dato’ Dr. Ko Chung Beng (Founder & CEO of KO Academy), Dr. Edmond Lau (President of ADAMS 2023), Dato’ Dr. Khalid Mohd Harun (President of MATA), Dr. Masilamoney Asirvatham (President of MSAM), Ms. Tutie Ismail (Vice President of Communications, MHTC), Dr. Lim Ing Kien, more popularly known as Dr. Ingky (Founder of Medii Skin Studio, Skynfyx, and TikTok Content Creator), and Miss Serene Claire (Miss Universe Malaysia 2020 Runner Up, Actress & Influencer).

    The forum deliberated on strategies to enhance Malaysia’s global reputation for aesthetic treatments. These strategies included marketing efforts to spotlight Malaysia’s expertise, affordability, and cultural attractions; forging partnerships with international healthcare organizations, universities, and medical associations; and providing financial incentives, tax breaks, or grants to stimulate investment in the medical tourism sector.

    Ko mentioned Malaysia’s cost-effective services in his speech, saying, “Compared to countries with higher costs of living and greater overheads, Malaysia can offer the same level of expertise and technology but at a fraction of the price. This affordability extends across a wide range of procedures, from non-invasive treatments to more complex surgeries. Patients worldwide are discovering that they don’t need to compromise on quality to achieve their aesthetic goals—Malaysia offers world-class care at a price that makes achieving those goals both feasible and financially sensible.”

    The ADAMS 2023 president said, “It is my hope that each session, discussion, and interaction will serve as a source of inspiration and motivation, propelling us to new heights in our professional endeavors.” Lau also stated that ADAMS 2023 was not a regular medical conference, highlighting its purpose to achieve the common goal of propelling Malaysia as the region’s destination for medical aesthetic tourism.

    Additionally, ADAMS 2023 donated RM12,000 to the Malaysian Skin Foundation (MSF), facilitated multiple symposiums by doctors and specialists, on-ground engagement initiatives, and networking sessions where attendees were provided with a conducive environment to establish direct interactions, build relationships, and explore potential collaborations. Moving forward, ADAMS will continue its contributions to the field of dermatology and aesthetic medicine while offering attendees a more comprehensive and impactful experience at each event in the years to come.

    For a limited time only, KFC Malaysia is bringing back the taste of the sea with the all-new Zinger Surf ‘N’ Turf burger. This creation has both a Zinger fillet and a shrimp donut patty. Each bite includes a hearty helping of fresh, crisp lettuce and rich, creamy garlic mayo, all nestled between perfectly toasted sesame buns.

    A meal is never complete without a side dish, and the fried sweet potato fries are a perfect complement. These succulent sweet potatoes are ‘crisscut’ and topped with a dusting of icing sugar.

    Available as an add-on to the Wow Bucket combo or ala carte, these fries are a balance of sweet and savory.

    Additionally, the ongoing partnership between KFC, streetwear brand Pestle & Mortar Clothing, and

    local comic artist Ujang continues to grow. In addition to the existing range of merchandise launched during KFC Malaysia’s 50th Anniversary celebrations in July, the collection now has two new items. A reversible bucket hat and a limited edition 24k gold-plated zinc enamel pin
