BMW Malaysia unveiled two highly anticipated variations of the 2018 BMW 3 Series today: the New BMW M340i xDrive and the BMW 330Li M Sport. The newly announced BMW 3 Series variations maintain the line’s distinctive sportiness while demonstrating the BMW 3 Series’ versatility and ability to fulfil different driving demands.

Hans de Visser, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia said, “The BMW 3 Series has been a consistent and excellent representation of BMW’s values and promise of Sheer Driving Pleasure. A global best-seller, the BMW 3 Series’ inherent qualities of sportiness, comfort, efficiency and innovation resonate strongly with Malaysians as well, propelling it forward as the best-selling premium executive sedan here year after year. Building upon its versatility, we are able to accentuate these qualities to provide dynamic driving experiences that suit the various lifestyles and preferences of our customers.”

He added, “Holding strongly to our belief that the Power of Choice should be firmly in the hands of our customers, we are pleased to introduce two new additions to the New BMW 3 Series line-up in Malaysia. The New BMW M340i xDrive brings forth superior power and performance, marking an entry point into the world of BMW M. Meanwhile, the New BMW 330Li M Sport presents luxurious, spacious comfort for its occupants, all without sacrificing the BMW 3 Series’ signature sporty prowess.”

Like the previously unveiled New BMW 320i M Sport, New BMW 330i M Sport and New BMW 330e M Sport variants, a refreshed exterior and redesigned interior brings a welcome modernisation to the New BMW M340i xDrive and New BMW 330Li M Sport. This is further encapsulated with the inclusion of the revolutionary BMW Curved Display, lending a cutting-edge and progressive feel to the driving experience.

Iconic look, designed with purpose.

The performance powerhouse of the BMW 3 Series line-up, the New BMW M340i xDrive features a stand-out front section, redesigned to be more expressive in comparison to its predecessor.

Malaysia’s reigning Queen of Rock, Ella, suddenly became a major subject when she removed all her social media postings and stayed silent. She later held a special press conference to address the press on the topic and announced the ‘JILID AKHIR: ELLA PUTERI KOTA’ performance to commemorate her 35 years in the music industry, which would take place on June 10, 2023 at the Axiata Arena Bukit Jalil.

Concert tickets went on sale on March 13, 2023 at 12:00PM. In 2 hours, more than 50% of the tickets were sold. The organisers, Hitman Solutions and RockQueen had to temporarily stop all ticket sales because more than 25,000 eager ticket buyers have been queuing on the website causing the ticket purchasing process to be interrupted. However, the organisers were quick to resolve it and the ticket sales resumed at 5:00PM.

This, however, did not in the least discourage Ella’s fans from continuing to queue and buy the tickets, and at 7:00PM, 90% of the tickets were already sold and only the Rockzone category remained. All the tickets for JILID AKHIR: ELLA PUTERI KOTA concert was officially sold out at 12:00PM the next day on March 14, within 24 hours after the ticket sale started.

STATEMENT FROM MR. ROHIT RAMPAL, CEO & FOUNDER OF HITMAN SOLUTIONS:

“In just 24 hours, tickets to the JILID AKHIR: ELLA PUTERI KOTA concert were sold out, breaking a new record for any Malaysian artists that have held their concerts at Axiata Arena. This just proves how amazing Ella’s fans are and I’m in awe at how determined they were at getting the concert tickets. Without a doubt, Ella is definitely our Queen of Rock!”

“To be honest, I myself can’t wait to see Ella perform on stage and rock it out with her fans this June 10, 8:00PM at Axiata Arena Bukit Jalil.”

STATEMENT FROM ELLA:

“I just want to say a million thanks to my management, RockQueen and also the organiser, Hitman Solutions for making this concert a reality.

I’m very excited, humbled and utterly grateful for the incredible ticket sales.”

“I’m just thankful to all my fans from all over the world, especially those from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and also Brunei for showing such great enthusiasm in wanting to celebrate this coming concert with me.

I can’t wait to give my all at the concert and hopefully the fans can pray for the wellbeing of all the parties involved so that this event will go on smoothly without any hiccups.”

“For those who have missed the opportunity to get the tickets, InsyaAllah, the management is working on a solution that will satisfy everybody.

Peace. Love. Rindu.”

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.”

McDonald’s Malaysia has officially introduced its Menu Rahmah today, giving Malaysians from all walks of life the option to enjoy McDonald’s meals at an inexpensive price of only RM5.

McDonald’s participation in the Menu Rahmah initiative, which was officiated by YB Datuk Seri Salahuddin bin Ayub, Minister of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) today, is an effort driven by the quick service restaurant in support of the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living, as part of its commitment in helping and supporting the community with the issue of the rising cost of living.

“As a brand that is close to Malaysians’ hearts, McDonald’s Malaysia is pleased to support this meaningful initiative. With the launch of McDonald’s Menu Rahmah, it enables us to provide our meals to Malaysians from all walks of life, as we believe everyone should be provided with equal opportunity to enjoy our meals anytime, anywhere,” said Melati Abdul Hai, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, McDonald’s Malaysia.

As part of its Menu Rahmah offering, McDonald’s Malaysia will be introducing three meal options for only RM5, which include:

• Chicken Burger and small Iced Lemon Tea
• Bubur Ayam McD and small Iced Lemon Tea
• McEgg and small Iced Lemon Tea

McDonald’s Menu Rahmah meals will be available all day, at all McDonald’s restaurants nationwide.

“We are very pleased to see global brands such as McDonald’s joining the government’s Menu Rahmah initiative, as an effort to provide affordable meals to those in need. Throughout the years, we have always known McDonald’s as a brand that is committed to giving back to the community, and we hope with its participation, more industry players will be encouraged to participate in this initiative as well,” said YB Datuk Seri Salahuddin bin Ayub, Minister of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living.

In conjunction with the launch of the Menu Ramah, McDonald’s also announced the return of one of its most highly anticipated menu items during the Holy Month of Ramadan – the Chicken Foldover and Beef Foldover – which will be available at all McDonald’s restaurants beginning today.

In addition, McDonald’s will be offering its Promosi 30 Hari Ramadan campaign, where customers will be able to enjoy attractive promotions and rewards through the McDonald’s app throughout the Ramadan month.

At the same event, McDonald’s also treated orphans from Pertubuhan Kebajikan Islam Peribadi Mulia in Kajang to the Menu Rahmah meal, as one of the company’s continuous efforts in giving back to the community in which it operates in.
