Serba Wangi Sdn Bhd, one of Malaysia’s leading agricultural producers, has announced a major corporate diversification strategy with the launch of ‘Jati Chom Chom’, marking the flagship brand’s official entry into the premium ready-to-eat snack segment. The launch represents the country’s first commercially produced white rice puff snack made entirely from locally sourced grains, signaling a decisive shift toward high-value, downstream food production.

By steering its core ingredient into the high-margin FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) market, the veteran rice distributor aims to unlock modern commercial channels and tap into evolving consumer behavior. The strategic pivot targets children, teenagers, young working adults, and modern families who are actively demanding convenient, premium alternatives to conventional corn, potato, and wheat-based snacks.
The capital-intensive launch was officially unveiled at Old Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, an event marked by a high-tech drone light show over the capital’s skyline. The event was officiated by the Raja Puan Muda of Kedah, DYTM Che Puan Muda Zaheeda Binti Mohamad Ariff, alongside the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, Datuk Seri Isham Ishak.

Datuk Seri Isham Ishak underscored the broader corporate and economic implications of the product launch, stating that the future of Malaysia’s agricultural sector no longer centers solely on raw, primary production. Instead, he highlighted that sustainable growth within the nation’s agri-food sector relies heavily on cross-category innovation, modern branding, value creation, and aggressive market expansion, describing Jati Chom Chom as a landmark achievement for local commercialization.
Supporting this vision, Serba Wangi’s Managing Director, Low Kok Kean, emphasized that Jati Chom Chom represents a major milestone in evaluating new, scalable possibilities for local white rice beyond traditional, raw volume consumption. He noted that by scaling innovation up the food value chain, the company is bridging the gap between national agricultural output and a new generation of consumers. To secure strong retail confidence, the new product line is backed by rigorous operational standards, manufactured in a facility holding Halal, HACCP, and international ISO 22000:2018 food safety management certifications.
Jati Chom Chom makes its market debut in two distinct flavor profiles, Tomato and Cheese, positioned to optimize mass-market accessibility while ensuring healthy retail margins. The products are priced starting at RM1.99 for a 60g single unit and RM3.79 for a 112g multipack, though final retail pricing remains subject to regional channel promotions. In its initial rollout phase, nationwide distribution has secured immediate shelf space across premium modern trade accounts including Lotus’s, Giant, and AEON outlets, with plans underway to aggressively scale penetration into general trade and independent retail networks.

French-Indian artist Salomé Das has officially initiated her solo music career with the launch of her highly anticipated debut single, “Back 2 Malaysia.” Distributed via Def Jam Malaysia, the track introduces a sophisticated global pop sound designed as a sonic tribute to the nation that shaped her formative years.
Born in Munich and relocated to Kuala Lumpur at just three months old, Das represents the quintessential experience of a “third-culture child.” Raised at the intersection of French, Indian, and Malaysian cultures, she did not assimilate entirely into a single heritage, but instead synthesized all three into a distinct personal and artistic identity. “Back 2 Malaysia” functions as the creative nexus of these diverse backgrounds, deliberately blending traditional Malaysian and Asian instrumentation with contemporary global pop production.
The single captures the distinctive ambience of a tropical upbringing, translating elements of regional culture, scenery, and a shared sense of freedom into a polished musical arrangement. The overarching narrative addresses a universal theme: the experience of departing a foundational environment, preserving its influence across geographical boundaries, and recognizing that cultural identity remains an intrinsic part of the individual.
“No matter where I go in the world, I carry Malaysia with me,” Das stated regarding the release. “Through the food, the culture, the warmth, the nature, and the carefree spirit of sun and freedom that I constantly seek out. For me, Malaysia has always felt like joy, colour, nostalgia and home. This song captures that feeling—of freedom, sunshine and coming home. The place that stays with us forever.”
Das’s transition into a solo career follows a non-traditional professional trajectory. Initially working internationally as an Elite model, she spent five years based in London before shifting her primary focus back to music. She first achieved commercial recognition as the featured vocalist on the collaborative track “Life is Simple,” an international release that has surpassed 90 million streams on Spotify and led to a high-profile performance before an audience of 8,000 at a stadium venue in Mumbai.
Following a two-year period dedicated to repertoire development and establishing her definitive sonic direction, “Back 2 Malaysia” was recorded in Los Angeles. The production represents the realization of her long-term creative vision, marking a definitive return to her musical roots.
In tandem with her sonic output, Das maintains a highly intentional visual identity that reinforces her multi-cultural messaging. Her stage presentation frequently incorporates traditional batik, sarongs, and Indian jewellery alongside her signature bindi. Utilizing her platform to advocate for youth empowerment and enhanced international visibility for regional talent, Das has articulated a long-term professional objective to establish herself as a leading global pop artist of Indian heritage, while actively fostering opportunities for other Asian creators within the international music industry.
“Back 2 Malaysia” is now available for streaming and download across all major digital distribution platforms.

As the brand continues to grow its local coffee line across Malaysia, Hock Kee Kopitiam has steadily built its presence to reach global audiences through a narrative that highlights Malaysian flavours, traditions, and community spirit. Its participation alongside Tourism Malaysia goes beyond just joining an international exhibition — it reflects the confidence placed in a Malaysian brand that has been tested, embraced, and supported by the market itself.

During the event, Hock Kee presents its signature coffee series to international visitors at ITB China 2026, showcasing authentic Malaysian flavours and the heritage of coffee culture.
In today’s highly competitive F&B landscape, many brands gain quick visibility through advertising, social media, and short-term campaigns. However, real brand strength is not just about being seen — it comes from long-term customer acceptance, repeat support, and genuine emotional connection.
Hock Kee’s journey has been built in a different way. Instead of relying on momentary attention, it has grown organically through real dining experiences, returning customers, and communities who keep coming back for familiar flavours and meaningful moments. This growth has been shaped by real market demand and customer trust, built steadily one table, one family, and one community at a time.

Among the many kopitiam concepts introduced in recent years, only a few evolve beyond trends to become brands that truly become part of everyday life. This is what makes Hock Kee stand out as a genuine Malaysian gem.
Founded in Johor Bahru in 2018, Hock Kee Kopitiam has grown into one of Malaysia’s most recognisable modern kopitiam brands, redefining the traditional kopitiam experience with nostalgic local flavours, a modern dining environment, and a strong Muhibbah spirit at the core of its identity.
Today, Hock Kee is more than just a restaurant brand. It represents a uniquely Malaysian dining experience where food becomes a cultural bridge, bringing people from different races, backgrounds, and generations together around the same table.
Founder of Hock Kee, Nick Ng introduced Malaysian coffee and local food culture to international visitors, while showcasing the new product, Hock Kee Durian White Coffee during ITB China 2026 in Shanghai.

As Visit Malaysia 2026 gains momentum, food continues to play a bigger role in shaping tourism experiences. Beyond landmarks and destinations, many visitors remember Malaysia through its flavours, kopitiam culture, and the warmth of shared meals. In many ways, Malaysian kopitiam culture has become part of the country’s tourism identity.
Held annually in Shanghai, ITB China brings together tourism boards, travel businesses, investors, media, and industry leaders from around the world, making it one of Asia’s key platforms for tourism collaboration and destination promotion.
Through ITB China 2026, Hock Kee aims to introduce Malaysian kopitiam culture to a wider global audience while showing how local brands can grow beyond business to become cultural storytellers and tourism ambassadors.
During the event, Hock Kee showcased authentic Malaysian flavours through its signature coffee range, including the newly launched Hock Kee Durian White Coffee, which received encouraging feedback and strong interest from international visitors. The overall response at ITB China 2026 was very positive, reflecting growing appreciation for Malaysian kopitiam culture and coffee innovation.
Founder Nick Ng, who attended the exhibition in Shanghai, shared that the invitation reflects increasing international interest in authentic Malaysian experiences and brands with strong local identity.
“We are truly honoured to represent Malaysia at ITB China. This recognition is not just for Hock Kee, but also reflects a growing appreciation for Malaysian food culture, kopitiam heritage, and the stories behind them,” he said.
“Hock Kee has always carried the spirit of Muhibbah through food. Around one table, people from different backgrounds can connect and experience what Malaysia truly feels like. We hope this opportunity allows more people around the world to discover not only Hock Kee, but also Malaysia itself.”
Earlier this year in March, Hock Kee was also invited to Changsha, Hunan, China to take part in the launch of “Let’s Go Malaysia”, a programme produced by Hunan TV International. The brand was featured as one of the highlighted food destinations in Johor, showcasing Malaysian culture, tourism attractions, and authentic dining experiences to Chinese audiences.
In line with the aspirations of Visit Malaysia 2026, Hock Kee continues to strengthen Malaysia’s presence on the global stage through international collaborations, cultural exchanges, and ongoing promotion of its kopitiam heritage.
As Malaysian brands step further into the global arena, Hock Kee hopes to be part of that journey — bringing Malaysian flavours, stories, and the spirit of Muhibbah beyond borders and onto the world stage.
Kuala Lumpur, 4 Jun 2026 – Filem terbaharu arahan Syed Fariz, 5 Bomoh, hadir sebagai sebuah naskhah komedi sosial yang mengangkat persoalan tentang sejauh mana manusia sanggup bergantung kepada kepercayaan tertentu dalam usaha mencapai impian atau mencari jalan penyelesaian segera. Filem ini membuka perbincangan tentang realiti masyarakat yang sering mencari jalan pintas ketika berdepan tekanan hidup, sekali gus menimbulkan persoalan sama ada kepercayaan tersebut benar-benar membantu atau sekadar membuka ruang kepada pihak tidak bertanggungjawab mengambil kesempatan.
Diterbitkan oleh Global Station Sdn Bhd, diedarkan oleh Skop Production Sdn Bhd dan dipasarkan oleh Primeworks Studios bersama Mask Team, 5 Bomoh menampilkan barisan pelakon popular seperti Dato’ Aaron Aziz, Scha Alyahya, Khairy Jamaluddin, Ungku Hariz, Tiara Rose, Dato’ Afdlin Shauki, Johan, Amy Search, Aedy Ashraf dan Ozlynn Waty. Gabungan pelakon berpengalaman dan latar komedi yang pelbagai menjadikan filem ini lebih segar dengan situasi lucu yang dekat dengan kehidupan harian masyarakat.
Kisahnya berpusat kepada Rashdan, seorang ahli perniagaan yang sejak kecil mempercayai amalan tradisional dan petua turun-temurun, berbeza dengan isterinya Sakinah yang lebih berpegang kepada ilmu, pendidikan dan nilai keagamaan. Konflik bermula apabila anak mereka, Nisa, gagal dalam peperiksaan penting, lalu mendorong Rashdan untuk mencari penyelesaian segera demi memastikan impian keluarganya tercapai. Keadaan ini membawa keluarga tersebut dalam pengembaraan mencari beberapa bomoh di seluruh negara, yang akhirnya mendedahkan pelbagai bentuk penipuan serta eksploitasi kepercayaan masyarakat.
Melalui perjalanan tersebut, 5 Bomoh tidak hanya menawarkan komedi, tetapi turut menyelitkan sindiran sosial terhadap sikap manusia yang mudah terpengaruh dengan janji-janji jalan pintas. Filem ini juga mengetengahkan isu kekeluargaan, tekanan ibu bapa terhadap anak-anak, serta perbezaan pandangan dalam menghadapi cabaran kehidupan moden.
Menurut pengarah Syed Fariz, filem ini bertujuan menyampaikan mesej bahawa kejayaan tidak datang secara mudah tanpa usaha, ilmu dan doa yang berterusan. Beliau menegaskan bahawa komedi digunakan sebagai medium untuk mendekati penonton sambil menyampaikan pengajaran yang dekat dengan realiti masyarakat hari ini.
Dengan gabungan elemen humor, emosi dan mesej sosial yang kuat, 5 Bomoh dijangka menjadi antara filem komedi yang bukan sahaja menghiburkan, tetapi juga membuka ruang refleksi kepada penonton mengenai nilai sebenar usaha, kepercayaan dan tanggungjawab dalam kehidupan.
