Ayam Brand, jenama yang terkenal di Malaysia sejak lebih 120 tahun lalu dengan rangkaian makanan dalam tin yang berkhasiat, tanpa  bahan pengawet dan tanpa MSG, kini dalam misi membantu lebih ramai golongan kurang bernasib baik untuk memupuk idea kreatif mereka melalui Kempen Masyarakat Penyayang ‘Diet Sihat Untuk Kreativiti’ 2014.

Kini dalam tahun ketujuh, Kempen Masyarakat Penyayang Ayam Brand ini akan menyaksikan sumbangan produk yang mencukupi untuk kegunaan harian selama dua bulanke 48 buah badan kebajikan di 10 wilayah seluruh Malaysia. Ia akan membekalkan 2,200 orang anak-anak yatim, golongan kurang upaya dan warga emas dengan produk makanan bertin yang mudah disediakan, sihat dan berkhasiat.

Kempen ini adalah sebahagian daripada program Tanggungjawab Korporat Ayam Brand yang dilancarkan sejak 2008 dan sehingga kini telah memanfaatkan lebih daripada 13,200 orang daripada 264 organisasi kebajikan.

Kempen ini telah dilancarkan di Kuala Lumpur dengan sumbangan diberikan kepada Rumah Hope, Rumah Ozanam, Rumah Kebajikan Nurul Hasanah, Rumah Kasih Harmoni, Our Family Home, Lovely Nursing Centre, Rumah Anak-anak Yatim Shifa, Rumah Bakti Nur Syaheera dan Yayasan Anak-Anak Yatim Pinggir TTDI. Majlis tersebut diadakan di Balai Seni Visual Negara.

Wakil-wakil pertubuhan tersebut hadir untuk menerima produk Ayam Brand termasuk tuna, mackerel dan kacang panggang.

Rumah-rumah kebajikan di Penang, Johor, Perak, Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah, Perlis, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Sabah and Sarawak juga turut menerima sumbangan.

Ayam Brand memberi penekanan terhadap sumbangan produk sajian ikan di dalam tin kerana kebanyakan rumah kebajikan kurang mendapat bekalan ikan seperti tuna dan mackerel yang kaya dengan Omega-3, asid lemak penting yang tidak dapat dihasilkan oleh badan. Omega-3 boleh membantu mencegah  penyakit jantung koronari, merangsang aktiviti sihat saraf, meningkatkan penyerapan vitamin, menguatkan sistem ketahanan tubuh dan menggalakkan pertumbuhan sel. Di samping itu, Omega-3 juga penting dalam perkembangan daya penglihatan dan otak dalam kalangan kanak-kanak.

Oleh kerana kebanyakan badan kebajikan menghadapi kekurangan pekerja, produk makanan dalam tin Ayam Brand adalah pilihan yang ideal bagi mereka menyediakan makanan dengan segera tanpa sebarang masalah.

Kempen pada tahun ini memperkenalkan Cabaran Seni Kreatif Ayam Brand dengan tema ‘Merah dan Kuning’ yang menggemakan warna korporat Ayam Brand. Ia bertujuan memupuk daya kreativiti, ekspresi diri, koordinasi mata-tangan dan kerja berpasukan.

“Ayam Brand berbesar hati dapat membantu rumah kebajikan menikmati makanan yang lebih pelbagai. Kami berharap dengan menggalakkan sajian ikan kepada kanak-kanak, mereka akan mendapat manfaat kesihatan dari pemakanan yang kaya dengan Omega-3,” kata Pengerusi Ayam Brand, Tunku Dato’ Mu’tamir bin Tunku Tan Sri Mohamed.

“Kami ingin memperkembangkan kreativiti mereka melalui Cabaran Seni Kreativiti Ayam Brand sebagai cara untuk             merealisasi potensi diri dan menyemai bakat dalam mezahirkan fikiran dan emosi menerusi seni,” jelas beliau.

Lebih daripada 30 rumah di seluruh negara telah mengemukakan hasil seni rekaan sendiri termasuk lukisan, kraf tradisional, tenunan, kerja kayu, sulaman, gubahan manik dan banyak lagi. Sempena acara ini sebuah pameran mini telah diadakan di Balai Seni Visual Negara bagi mempamerkan karya seni mereka.

Bagi kanak-kanak yang menghadiri pelancaran ini mereka mendapat pengalaman seni interaktif dengan origami, mewarna dan berpeluang untuk menyumbang kepada pemasangan ‘Pop-Art’ gergasi tin Ayam Brand, dikonsepkan oleh artis, pereka dan komposer Fathullah Luqman Yusuff, pada acara kemuncak.

“Setiap insan kreatif dengan caranya sendiri. Walau bagaimanapun, jika kreativiti tidak dipupuk dan diberi ruang untuk dinyatakan ia menjadi terbantut. Cabaran Seni Kreatif anjuran Ayam Brand adalah ikhtiar baik untuk membantu anak-anak kurang bernasib baik melonjakkan diri mereka untuk menjadi lebih kreatif kerana ia membolehkan kerja mereka dipamerkan di galeri negara. Pendedahan awal ini boleh menyalakan semangat mereka dalam kesenian dan menetapkan laluan kerjaya mereka dalam bidang seni, ” jelas En. Fathullah

Encik Zahari Bin Alwi dari Pertubuhan Kebajikan Baitul Kasih WP & Selangor berkata sumbangan Ayam Brand amat dihargai kerana ia menambah kepelbagaian dan nutrisi kepada pemakanan harian para penghuni. Ianya cepat serta mudah untuk disediakan.

“Kami merakamkan penghargaan kepada Ayam Brand kerana bermurah hati memberi sumbangan makanan bertin yang sihat dan enak. Para penghuni begitu menggemari produk-produk ini dan pekerja kami menghargai betapa cepatnya mereka boleh menyediakan hidangan lazat untuk kanak-kanak ini. Kanak-kanak juga seronok dapat menyiapkan hasil seni mereka bagi Cabaran Seni Kreativiti Ayam Brand. Kami sentiasa mengalu-alukan Kempen Masyarakat Penyayang Ayam Brand, bukan sahaja kerana produknya yang enak tetapi juga kerana aktiviti dan interaksi yang dianjurkan,” kata Encik Zahari Bin Alwi.

Watsons, Asia’s largest health and beauty retailer and a member of the A.S. Watson Group, today launched its “Say Yes to Watsons Brand” campaign, designed to promote Watsons Brand, the store’s affordable, high-quality own brand, to the market in Malaysia. The launch, which took place at Damansara Performing Arts Centre (DPAC), Empire Damansara, was also graced by the presence of Reggie Lee, one of Malaysia’s most popular cartoonists.

The integrated marketing campaign will feature cartoons penned by Reggie Lee, who was specially commissioned for this project. The campaign is timely in its implementation as cost of living in Malaysia has increased in recent months. According to Jessica Ng, Watsons Malaysia Marketing & Development Director, “More people are making savings their priority this year due to rising costs of living. More than half of Malaysian consumers surveyed last year are cutting back on clothing, entertainment and are switching to cheaper grocery brands. We see this as an opportunity for us to market Watsons Brands as we are always committed to providing our customers’ quality, value and choice. I believe Watsons Brands high quality, value for money proposition will help our customers continue to Look Good and Feel Great without burning a hole in their pocket.”

Watsons believes that Malaysian consumers will warm up to the unbeatable combination of quality, variety and affordability offered by Watsons Brand. According to Caryn Loh, Watsons Malaysia General Manager of Trading, “Watsons is a major player in the health and beauty private label market. In Asia alone, we managed to sell more than 260 million Watsons Brand products last year. In worldwide, Watsons Brand is also the trusted choice of customers at over 3,500 outlets in Asia and Europe. We want our customers to be sure of the quality of Watsons Brand, hence an extensive research and development programme and stringent quality process goes into each Watsons Brand item to create products that are safe and effective in meeting our customers’ needs. In fact, each Watsons Brand product is put through an 18-month quality control test. And we test them again throughout the production process, to make sure that our customers receive nothing but the best.”

Watsons Brand health and beauty products target the discerning shoppers that looks for great quality with good value, range from everyday essentials to the latest fashion trends, delivering fun and variety to suit any occasion and are synonymous with quality, vision and value. Its extensive range includes Baby; Bath & Body; Face; Hair Care; Health; Oral; Paper and Cotton; Feminine Hygiene and Travel & Accessories.

Thanks to a team of Watsons Brand advisors at over 300 Watsons outlets in Malaysia, customers are supported with professional counselling and highly personalized advice on all its health and beauty products. Naturals by Watsons, an exclusive premium range under Watsons Brand, offers beauty products that harness the power of nature. To date, Naturals by Watsons features the Olive Body & Hair Care and Argan Oil Body & Hair Care ranges that replenish, restore and renew.

Showing the lighter side of the “Say Yes” proposition in cartoons that form the creative backbone of this campaign is Reggie Lee, one of the most celebrated syndicated cartoonists in Malaysia. Reggie’s iconic cartoon characters frequently caricature local current issues in Malaysia’s major newspapers. Speaking at the launch, Reggie remarks that his observations about price increases helped inform his creative direction for the campaign. “As I was invited to work on Say Yes to Watsons Brand campaign, the first thing I looked at was the issue of rising prices in Malaysia. When you listen to people talk today, it’s usually about rising prices and what they intend to do about it. That’s where Watsons Brand comes in as a hero, to help ordinary Malaysians keep living costs down,” said Reggie.

The spectacular launch ceremony featured a chat session with Reggie Lee, Caryn Loh and Jessica Ng, after which Reggie was invited to sign three giant cartoon posters to officiate the launch. Also gracing the event on stage together with our VIP guests was Kulvinder Birring, Managing Director of Watsons Malaysia and Indonesia. Emceeing the event was popular TV presenter Reem Shahwa.

The “Say Yes to Watsons Brand” campaign is a 360 degree activation program which includes advertising initiatives, online media including a dedicated microsite and social media, and in-store promos designed to reflect the “value, trust and quality” proposition of Watsons Brand across Malaysia. The campaign will roll out nationwide during the next six months.

PUTRAJAYA (Malaysia) 15^th May, 2014 – The President of Perbadanan Putrajaya,Y.Bhg. Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Dr Aseh Che Mat and Red Bull Air Race General Manager Erich Wolf officially opened the Race Airport in Putrajaya at a ceremony on Thursday ahead of the third round of the 2014 Red Bull Air Race World Championship coming up at the weekend – the first time the world’s fastest motorsport series has been held in Asia.

To the delight of the elite race pilots present at the opening – Nigel Lamb of Great Britain, who previously toured Malaysia with the Golden Dreams aerobatic team in the 1990s, and Peter Besenyei of Hungary and Malaysian Challenger Cup pilot, Halim Othman – the Race Airport has been set up right next to the race track on the 600-hectare manmade Putrajaya Lake, which graces the heart of Malaysia’s administrative city. (In other race locations, the pilots and their crews are often based in locations further away from the track.)

Local hero Halim Othman, a former top gun pilot in the Royal Malaysian Air Force who will make his debut in the Challenger Cup racing event on Saturday, in which highly skilled newcomers gain experience in the high-speed, low-altitude racing.

“For me it’s a dream come true,” said Othman, who previously piloted B29s, Malaysia’s fastest jets. “The sport is very interesting. In a fighter jet we fly fast, high, and away from people – so people really can’t see. In this sport, you fly fast but low, through air-filled pylons and in front of cheering crowds!”

The race in Malaysia is one of the highlights of the 2014 season. Malaysia has a proud history as a venue for international motorsports, having played host to the Formula 1 in Kuala Lumpur at the Sepang International Circuit.

“It’s a privilege to host this racing event in Malaysia, and to have Putrajaya chosen to become the venue,” said Perbadanan Putrajaya President Tan Sri Aseh Che Mat after touring the hangars for a firsthand look at the remarkable race planes. “We will try our best to be a good host.”

Red Bull Air Race General Manager Erich Wolf was equally enthusiastic. “We’re thrilled to be here for the Red Bull Air Race premiere in Asia,” he said. “This is the first runway onsite this year, and that’s very exciting for the pilots and spectators as well. It’s going to be a fantastic race.”

The 2014 Red Bull Air Race Championship is shaping up as the tightest battle in the sport’s history with Austria’s Hannes Arch, the 2008 champion, and Britain’s Paul Bonhomme, the 2009 and 2010 title holder, locked in a ferocious fight for first place with one win and one second place each in the first two races and a pack of challengers close behind. Changes in rules requiring pilots to fly with standardized engines and propellers has made the gaps in times closer than ever before.

Tickets for the weekend’s racing are available at www.redbullairrace.com

PUTRAJAYA (Malaysia) – When four pilots from the Red Bull Air Race World Championship series took to the skies for the traditional pre-race Recon flight on Thursday, the moment was historic. Kirby Chambliss (United States), Matt Hall (Australia), Nigel Lamb (Great Britain) and Yoshihide Muroya (Japan), while all seasoned contenders, were well aware that the world’s fastest motorsport series had never before come to Malaysia. They marked the occasion by not only surveying the dramatic track on Putrajaya Lake where the competition will play out on Saturday and Sunday (May 17/18), but also by flying 30 kilometers north to take in the landmark Petronas Twin Towers.

Built in the early 1990s to serve as Malaysia’s administrative city, Putrajaya is a sparkling combination of striking architecture and lush green open spaces. The view of Petronas Towers in the federal capital of Kuala Lumpur – a proud symbol of Malaysia and until recently the tallest structures in the world at 452 m/1,483 ft – was especially motivational for the pilots. Not only were the towers constructed at the site of a former racetrack, but their twin structure provided a grand reminder of the dual pylons of the air gates on the Red Bull Air Race track.

Putrajaya is the third of eight races in the 2014 series. The high-speed, low-altitude race on Sunday will see Chambliss, Hall, Lamb and Muroya take on the eight other Master Class pilots in the lineup, including Hannes Arch of Austria and Paul Bonhomme of Great Britain, who are currently vying for the overall lead with 21 overall points each.

PUTRAJAYA: Top Malaysian pilot Halim Othman is hoping that his home advantage will help him finish on the podium of the Challenger Cup during Round 3 of the Red Bull AirRace 2014, which begins tomorrow.

The 41-year-old finished third placed in the third official practice session at the Putrajaya Lake today, putting himself in a great position to finish on the podium during tomorrow’s race day.

The former Royal Malaysian Air Force pilot obtained his ‘Restricted Super License’ at the Red Bull Air Race Qualification Camp in Slovenia earlier this year and is competing in the first ever Challenger Cup, a special category included when the Red Bull Air Race made its comeback this year after a 3-year hiatus.

“I had a good session and the results was good. Tomorrow (Saturday) will be an important day and I need to be focused from the start,” said Halim, who clocked 1:30.576s to finish third best.

Current Challenger Cup points leader Francios Le Vot clocked the fastest time, 1.545s faster than Halim, while Swede Danial Ryfa came in second with 01:30.033s.

“I know where I can find the 1.5s. I just need to be focused and work hard on it,” said Halim of his chances for an historical finish.

The Red Bull Air Race is being held here for the first time in Malaysia and in Southeast Asia. Putrajaya plays host to the inaugural event, in which Halim is also the first ever Malaysian pilot to compete in the racing series that makes eight stops around the world.

“The crowd will help me find 2 seconds,” added Halim, who is counting on the local fans to spur him on to a podium finish.

At press time, Halim is scheduled to race at 1430hrs (May 17,2014), while the Media Hangar walk is scheduled between 10am-11am.

Pentas Revolusi dengan kerjasama Revolution Stage dan Istana Budaya bakal mementaskan teater muzikal bertajuk sudirMANIA yang memberi penghargaan kepada lagu-lagu Allahyarham Datuk Sudirman Hj Arshad.

SUDIRMANIA akan menjadikan Konsert Gergasi Chow Kit Road sebagai latar tempat. Berlatarkan tahun 1986, mengisahkan tentang beberapa kumpulan remaja dari latar kampung, bandar dan pinggir bandar yang terlalu meminati Sudirman dan ingin pergi ke Konsert Gergasi Sudirman di Jalan Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur. Pada masa yang sama, Ramlan menerima jemputan perkahwinan dari Zeti yang tinggal di bandar. Zeti bakal berkahwin dengan Osman tanpa kerelaannya sehari selepas konsert gergasi tersebut. Yusuf pula, ayah kepada Ramlan, tekad mahu ke bandar berjumpa dengan bekas isterinya. Mereka mahu bertemu pada konsert tersebut. Manakala, 3 orang mat ganja yang bermaustautin di Chow Kit merasakan konsert ini bakal menganggu ketenteraman tanah pusaka mereka yang selama ini sunyi. Mereka bertiga, di ketuai oleh Mael, mahu melakukan kegiatan menyeluk saku mereka di konsert itu nanti.

Pengarah merangkap penulis skrip Khairunazwan Rodzy berkata “SUDIRMANIA mengembalikan nostalgia lagu-lagu Allahyarham dalam bentuk teater yang berlatarkan Konsert Gergasi Chow Kit Road”. Beliau merasakan perlu untuk mementaskan teater ini kerana semakin ramai anak-anak muda yang makin lupa dengan lagu-lagu Allahyarham, juga yang tidak tahu akan kewujudan konsert yang telah menempa nama dalam Malaysia Book of Records ini. Beliau menambah “SUDIRMANIA menggambarkan kegilaan penonton pada penghibur kesayangan mereka itu”.

Muzikal ini akan dikendalikan oleh Ayop Azril (Pengarah Muzik)c dari segi susunan musik dan menampilkan lebih daripada 20 orang pelakon dari Projek BB; satu kumpulan teater yang dianggotai oleh belia yang cintakan seni persembahan pentas. Projek BB pernah mementaskan RAMLEEFESTASI, satu teater penghargaan kepada lagu-lagu dan filem-filem Allahyarham P Ramlee.

Intan Nor Saina akan membawakan watak Zeti, gadis bandar yang mahu ke konsert untuk berjumpa dengan kekasihnya, Ramlan. Turut membantu adalah Kirin Muhamad dan Mustaqim Mohamed dari Pelangi Chenta. Pelangi Chenta adalah satu ‘band’ yang sedang dalam proses merakamkan single pertama mereka. Kirin Muhamad (vokalis) akan memegang watak Yusuf. Mustaqim Mohamed yang bakal tampil dengan filem CEO tahun ini akan memegang watak Osman.

SUDIRMANIA akan dipentaskan di Lambang Sari, Istana Budaya pada 28 Mei hingga 1 Jun 2014. Pementasan berlangsung pada 8.30 (28 Mei hingga 1 Jun) dan pada 3pm dan 8.30pm (31 Mei). Tiket berharga RM35 dan RM55 sahaja.

PUTRAJAYA (Malaysia) – Hannes Arch blasted his rivals away in Qualifying for Sunday’s Red Bull Race World Championship stop in Putrajaya, Malaysia with a thunderous performance on a challenging race track under cloudy skies and soaring temperatures. The 2008 champion from Austria admitted he flew as close to the limits of the rules as possible to post the fastest time on Saturday and win pole position for the third of eight stops in the 2014 season. Canada’s Pete McLeod finished a distant second as the world’s fastest motorsport series stages its first-ever race in east Asia while Australia’s Matt Hall was third and defending champion Paul Bonhomme back in fourth.

Arch, who has won five of the last six races going back to the 2010 season, pushed the pace in his Edge 540 V3 and put down a track record time of 1:15.144 seconds, leaving his rivals scratching their heads to try to figure out why he is so much faster with all the pilots flying with the same standardized engines and propellers. McLeod was second in 1:15.867 on a sweltering afternoon when temperatures in the tropical location near the equator climbed into the high 30s while Hall was third in 1:16.144. Bonhomme, who like Arch has 21 points in the championship after his win in Abu Dhabi, was a disappointing fourth – more than a full second behind — in 1:16.586.

“It feels good,” said Arch of the big Qualifying win – his second straight Qualifying victory after taking first in Rovinj, Croatia as well. Arch acknowledged that he is flying close to the edge through the high-speed, low-altitude track set up over Putrajaya Lake but still within the rules.“In the first runs in training I was close to the judging limits so today I wanted to be more in the comfort zone and please them. I’m confident that I can be fast and please the judges.”

Meanwhile, French pilot Francois Le Vot claimed his third consecutive Challenger Cup win to put him firmly at the top of the standings three races into the 2014 season.

“I don’t really remember what happened… it’s always the same, said Le Vot, fresh from the victory. “I’m so deeply involved in my duty that I don’t have enough energy to memorise anything. But apparently it works; long may it continue! My strategy was quite simple. I thought that because I was already ahead in the points it was not necessary for me to fly aggressively.”

Local hero Halim Othman, however, had a disappointing day in the racetrack after a promising start to the day and finished in sixth place.

“It’s challenging to have your debut on home soil. My priority was to be safe and I’m happy that I managed to compete amongst the top pilots in the world,” said the 41-year-old.

Dominating the inaugural Challenger Cup series, Le Vot now sits at the top of the Cup standings with 30 points, 16 points clear of Daniel Ryfa from Sweden.

Official Challenger Cup results:

1. LE VOT Francois (FRA) 1:26.027  2. KOPFSTEIN Petr (CZE) 1:26.850  3. RYFA Daniel (SWE) 1:27.081  4. VELARDE Juan (ESP) 1:27.186  5. PODLUNSEK Peter (SLO) 1:27.286  6. OTHMAN Halim (MAS) 1:28.913

PUTRAJAYA (Malaysia) –  Arch nevertheless moved into the overall lead with 30 points after the third round of the eight-race world championship that has stops in seven countries on three continents. Bonhomme, who saw his string of 15 straight podiums abruptly ended, is second overall with 25 points, while Lamb moved into third on 17 points.

Lamb, who remains hugely popular in Malaysia after touring in the tropical nation as a display pilot for five years earlier in his career, gave his local fans watching from the shores of Putrajaya Lake a clinical demonstration of superb flying under the humid skies. Undeterred by the temperatures that soared into the high 30s, Lamb kept his cool flying first in the Final Four on the high-speed, low-altitude track and stopped the clock in 1:15.023 – the fastest run of the day. Hall came close with 1:15.691 and Arch came even closer at 1:15.597.

“I never thought I’d feel this emotion,” said Lamb, fighting off tears after getting six second-place finishes before in 43 previous races in his seven-year career. “It’s a great feeling. After seven years, and all the ups and downs, this is the payoff.”

Canada’s Pete McLeod, the last pilot in the Final Four, finished the day in frustration: in pushing for every fraction of a second, he exceeded the maximum speed entry of 370 kph / 200 knots through the Start Gate, resulting in his flying session classed as Did Not Finish (DNF).

Results: 1. Nigel Lamb (GBR), 2. Hannes Arch (AUT), 3. Matt Hall (AUS), 4. Pete McLeod (CAN), 5. Paul Bonhomme (GBR), 6. Martin Sonka (CZE), 7. Peter Besenyei (HUN), 8. Matthias Dolderer (GER), 9. Kirby Chambliss (USA), 10. Yoshihide Muroya (JPN), 11. Nicolas Ivanoff (FRA), 12. Michael Goulian (USA)

World Championship Standings: 1. Arch (30 points), 2. Bonhomme (25),  3. Lamb (17), 4. McLeod (17),  5. Hall (14), 6. Sonka (8), 7, Muroya (7), 8. Ivanoff (5), 9. Dolderer (4), 10. Besenyei (2)

It is getting more nerve wrecking as we move on to the next stage of the Malaysian Invasion Mixed Martial Arts 2. It has always been known that MIMMA2 is a platform for new talents to showcase their skills in hopes to one day call the MMA scene their home. MIMMA2 follows up its history making Tryouts tour with the Ladder Match stage. This is when the 112 fighters will be up against each other in their respective weight categories to fight and move closer to realizing their dream of becoming the next MIMMA Champion. Stakes are very high for fighters and they cannot afford to make any mistake that could cost them the chance of a lifetime.

Along with high hopes and sharpened skills, fighters will also bring their state pride. Each fighter represents his own home state and this will actually contribute to magnitude of the fight due to the fact that state rivalry is huge in Malaysia. The cage will witness the intensity of the bouts as fighters try to feed their hunger of being victorious.

Jason Lo stated, “I have travelled with the team during the tryouts tour and have first hand experience in witnessing the phenomenal MMA talents in Malaysia. Among all that came for the tryouts, we have hand-picked 112 fighters whose talents are exceptional and have proved to us that they are worthy of the chance to become the next MIMMA Champion.”

He added, “Tension is high for the fighters during the Ladder Match as they cannot afford to make any mistake. This is the only ticket for them to move on to the next stage. Hence, be prepared to witness epic battles emerging in the MIMMA cage. Just thinking about it gives me goose bumps!” Will the fighters’ dream of becoming the next household name for MMA flourish or will it crumble to the ground? Only they have the power to determine the outcome of the Ladder Match. Paradigm Mall will turn into a battleground for these fighters. The fans will enjoy the chance of being among the first to witness a glimpse of the next MIMMA Champion in action. Malaysia has gained much momentum in the development of MMA locally as we head towards becoming to main hub for MMA in Asia and the Ladder Match will be a shot in the arm to increase the drive in the expansion of the sport.

Bryan Loo, the man who brought Chatime to Malaysia and sparked off the modern tea drinking culture, today launched his latest venture in the food and beverage industry with Tino’s Pizza Express (Tino’s), at Nexus Bangsar South.

Bryan, who recently was nominated as one of Malaysia’s Top Ten Most Inspiring Young Leaders and Personalities by Malaysian university students and winner of the EY Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year 2013, will roll out further outlets in the Klang Valley in the initial stages.

“We will offer the freshest Neapolitan pizzas, oven-baked to perfection in under two minutes. Tino’s uses naturally fermented dough baked at a high temperature to achieve a crusty texture that is both crispy and chewy at the same time,” said Bryan.

According to the rules proposed by the Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana, the genuine Neapolitan pizza dough consists of wheat flour, natural Neapolitan yeast or brewer’s yeast, salt and water. For proper results, strong flour with high protein content (as used for bread-making rather than cakes) must be used.

The dough must be kneaded by hand or with a low-speed mixer. After the rising process, the dough must be formed by hand without the help of a rolling pin or other machines.The pizza must be baked for 80 seconds in a 500°C oven producing a charred, crispy, tender and fragrant pizza.

Bryan went on to add that Tino’s uses only the freshest ingredients to bring out the best flavours to maintain the authenticity of a gourmet pizza, in the hopes of transforming the pizza experience for Malaysians.

Serving medium and large-sized pizzas, each Tino’s pizza dough is hand-tossed and stretched before being put into an oven to bake at 500 degrees Celsius. Under the high heat baking process, the dough is allowed to cook in just under two minutes before it is taken out, sliced and served.

In order to meet its “express” status, the pizzas are prepared approximately ten minutes before it is served on a wooden board, reducing preparation time with no decrease in taste and flavour.

There are various original flavours such as the Lamb Abruzzo and Fiorentina but Tino’s also offers Asian inspired variants such as the Duck Caponata, which features a unique roast duck recipe. The Mexican inspired and aptly named Mexicana is covered in Jalapenos instead.

Focaccia pizzas, which are uniquely stretched to an oval shape, and is best shared between two people or enjoyed as a personal hand-tossed pizza, come in various flavours such as the Blue Fomaggio, which utilises blue cheese in its preparation, or the smoked salmon topped Salmone Affumicato, along with Shrimp Pugliese, which is generously covered in shrimps and vegetables.

The distinctive-looking ‘Crustar’ dessert pizzas are a speciality as well serving up variants such as the Matcha Mochi which comes with green tea powder, white rice cakes, red bean, crushed peanuts & mint leaves and the Fruity Honey Pearl, which features apple, peach, kiwi fruit, cranberries & tapioca pearls. Bryan admits his favourite is the Peanut Butter Banana Oreo variant though with laugh.

The first outlet has seen a full house of people dining in and taking away the pizzas since they opened on the ground floor of Nexus Bangsar South, and has already garnered rave reviews by netizens.

Bryan added, “We will actively engage Malaysians and promote the brand to them through our mobile and social networks, which has given us great results all this time. That and the fact that patrons love freshly baked delicious gourmet pizzas fast and the word of mouth reccommendations.”

Among the sides, peanut butter, beef bacon & chilli powder covered fries, Pumpkin soup with dough slices, minestrone soup, fried jalapeno strips with passion fruit yoghurt dips, chicken wings with Sicilian sauce are also available with flavours that blend well together completed with beverages such as lattes (vanilla, hazelnut, mocha, caramel), smoothies, fruit teas, soft drinks and milk tea.

Malaysians now are able to enjoy Neapolitan style gourmet pizzas and can expect big plans from the man who built Chatime Malaysia into a beverage powerhouse, as other Tino’s Pizza Express outlets are already being planned, the second of which is expected to open in the Gardens Mall in August this year.

With just weeks away to the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™, adidas Malaysia today launched ‘Battle Pack’ – the official footwear collection for the highly anticipated tournament.

The adidas Battle Pack features a new boot from each of the five adidas boot ranges adizero™ f50, predator®, nitrocharge™, 11pro and adizero™ f50 Messi, each with its own disruptive black and white pattern to stand out on the pitch. Every boot has been designed with an aggressive identity and cutting edge technology.

Debuting the collection at the launch were Malaysian football heroes S. Kunalan and Mohd Farizal Marlias of Selangor FA, Asraruddin Putra Omar from Johor Darul Takzim FC, Wan Zack Haikal of Kelantan FA and world-renowned freestyle footballer Nam The Man!

Hosted by fitness personality Fay Hokulani and local host Hansen Lee, the event brought a taste of Brazil to Malaysian shores, with special Brazilian themed performances alongside a full display of official adidas 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ merchandise, including team jerseys and an 8 foot giant Official Match Ball – Brazuca display.

The adidas Battle Pack will be worn on-field during the FIFA World Cup™ by the full roster of adidas players including Leo Messi and Oscar to Dani Alves and Luis Suarez. The black and white colourway is a visual representation of the adidas “all in or nothing” 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ campaign, with each boot exactly 50% white and 50% black. The only colour featuring on the boots is the fiery gold colours of the iconic three stripes of adidas, representing the ultimate reward of the FIFA World Cup trophy. The adizero™ f50 Messi is the only exception with an added blue and white colourway, inspired by the national colours of Leo Messi’s native Argentina.

The black and white patterns of the boots have been inspired by the war paint of native warriors and the iconic pavement patterns of ancient Mesopotamia perfected on the Copacabana beach. The individual patterns are designed to express the attributes of each boot, as well as the attitude and abilities of the player type who wears them as they fight for victory – speed, bravery, control, energy and agility.

Khairul Asyraf Ahmad, Product Manager (Sports Performance) at adidas Malaysia said: “For Battle Pack, the team at adidas wanted the boots to be highly visible on pitch and stand out from the extreme range of colour everyone expects to see in Brazil. Our FIFA World Cup campaign is “all in or nothing” and this mind set is represented perfectly through the black and white colour-way chosen for the boots. In addition, we wanted to pay homage to a unique Brazilian design and the powers associated with the boots and style of the players wearing them. They will help prepare our players for battle in Brazil, as they aim for glory.”

The Battle Pack launch marks the next stage of the adidas “all in or nothing” 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ campaign. The tournament is the world’s largest single-sport event and the ultimate platform for the adidas state-of-the-art footwear.

The adizero™ f50 Messi has an additional blue added to the black and white colourway, inspired by the national colours of Leo Messi’s native Argentina.

adizero™ f50 [RM780]

The adizero™ f50, worn by players such as Arjen Robben, Karim Benzema and Luis Suarez, is all about precision engineering with every aspect of the boot design based around making the wearer as fast as possible on the football field.

11pro [RM530]

The 11pro worn by Philipp Lahm and Frank Lampard retains the classic attributes that allow players to control the game.

Ketiga-tiga cerita ini berdurasi 110 minit, diilhamkan dan diterbitkan oleh Pengarah Dark Wave Pictures Sdn Bhd iaitu Dato’ Rafiena Ezanee Ramli. Menurut beliau, penghasilan ketiga-tiga filem televisyen ini sangat mencabar. “Lai Krathong memakan masa selama 18 hari penggambaran. Ini kerana penggambaran dilakukan di empat lokasi berbeza iaitu Phuket di Thailand, Pulau Perhentian di Pahang dan Kuala Lumpur. Pihak produksi juga mengalami beberapa insiden mistik semasa penggambaran Penunggu Bayang. Begitu juga dengan Racun Menantu, cerita ini berkisarkan kisah pelacur kanak-kanak dan kami perlu berhati-hati dengan setiap babak yang dilakonkan kerana mahu menjaga sensiviti masyarakat kita. Setelah manjalani produksi yang terperinci dan diperkuat dengan penambahan di peringkat pasca produksi, saya sangat berharap filem-filem ini akan mendapat sambutan yang baik di kalangan penonton tempatan.”

Penolong Naib Presiden Kanan Pengurusan Filem dan Aset Bahagian Perniagaan Melayu Astro, Puan Shoba Devi Choo turut melahirkan rasa penghargaan kepada Dark Wave atas kerjasama ini. Katanya, “Terima kasih dan syabas kepada pihak produksi atas penghasilan Filem Televisyen berkualiti yang memenuhi citarasa tinggi penonton masa kini. Jelas sekali kerjasama erat antara Astro dan syarikat produksi terbaik dapat melahirkan karya yang dinamik, berdaya saing dan sekaligus menyumbang dalam perkembangan industri filem dan drama tempatan. Jangan lupa menyaksikan Lai Krathong, Penunggu Bayang dan Racun Menantu di Astro Box Office Movies Tayangan Hebat, Saluran 130.”

Dian mengajak pergi menonton tarian tradisional yang kebetulannya perayaan ‘Lai Krathong (hari mencari kekasih). Budi sudah terpikat dengan salah seorang penari (Su Fei). Dari malam itu budi sering menemui Su Fei (lakonan Dora Arina) sehingga Dian berasa kecewa dengan sikap Budi yang sering meninggalkan dirinya. Budi kini sudah betul-betul tergila-gilakan Su Fei hinggakan Budi bersetuju bilamana Su Fei mahu mengikut Budi pulang ke Malaysia. Setiap malam Budi bermimpi yang bukan-bukan dan ketika itu juga, Mek Ani (lakonan Ruminah Sidek) menjampi serapah dari rumahnya. Bila saja terjaga dari mimpi, Budi akan dapati patung berada di sebelahnya. Budi menceritakan hal mimpi-mimpinya pada Dian, Kamal dan Hani. Mereka menyarankan Budi memulangkan semula patung itu kerana dikuatiri berpenunggu. Budi menunggu Su Fei yang berjanji mahu ikut pulang ke Malaysia tetapi Su Fei tidak muncul-muncul sehingga tiba waktu untuk berlepas pulang. Sampai di Kuala Lumpur, terkejut Budi bila mendapati patung itu masih berada di dalam beg pakaiannya. Budi mahu membawa patung itu pergi berjumpa kamal tetapi terkejut bilamana Su Fei muncul di depan pintu rumahnya. Su Fei meminta maaf kerana tidak tiba untuk pulang ke Malaysia bersama Budi. Che Yem juga ikut sama datang ke Melaysia. Che Yem terkejut bila Mek Ani juga turut ikut ke mana sahaja dia pergi. Hani mengadu pada Kamal yang dia sering terlihat patung itu berada di rumahnya tetapi Kamal tidak percaya dan menganggap dia sengaja mereka-reka cerita kerana mahu Kamal menemaninya selalu. Keesokkan harinya Kamal mendapat berita. Hani mati dalam keadaan yang tragis. Dian juga memberitahu yang patung itu sering dilihat berada di bilik dan hilang bila dilihat kali kedua. Kamal semakin tertekan dengan berita mengarut Dian. Budi menjelaskan bahawa cerita mereka adalah benar dan Budi mahu menunjukkan bahawa patung itu ada dengannya kini. Bila tiba di rumah Budi, patung itu tiada. Kamal pulang ke rumah dan terkejut melihat patung itu berada di rumahnya. Kamal berasa sangat marah dan tertekan sehingga dia mengambil patung itu dan membakarnya. Ketika itulah, satu lembaga muncul menjerut leher Kamal sehingga mati. Sejak itu, Budi sering menolak untuk berjumpa dengan Dian kerana Budi sudah mabuk cinta dengan Su Fei. Pada Dian, dia merasakan yang Budi sudah gila kerana sering bercakap sendirian. Dian kemalangan dan kereta yang di pandunya rentung terbakar. Budi yang hanyut dalam cintanya bersama Su Fei, didatangi Che Yem yang mengatakan yang Budi tidak boleh mengahwini Su Fei. Budi menjadi marah dan memaki hamun Che Yem kerana menghalang cintanya dan penyebab kepada kematian kawan-kawannya. Che Yem memberitahu yang dia membunuh kawan-kawan Budi kerana mahu mengambil roh dan di masukkan ke dalam patung itu untuk dipuja.  Dahulunya, Su Fei adalah kekasih hati Che Yem tapi cintanya dihalang oleh nenek Che Yem yang sangat kuat pegangan agamanya, melarang dia mengahwini Su Fei kerana Su Fei adalah perempuan penari.

Kehadiran Sara ke rumah itu membuatkan Pak Dolah terkejut akan kecantikan yang dimiliki oleh Sara sama seperti seseorang dia pernah kenal satu masa dulu. Gerak laku Sara juga seolah sengaja membuatkan Pak Dolah semakin menyimpan perasaan lain terhadap Sara. Dan hatinya mula berdetik seolah mahu memiliki Sara. Secara diam-diam, Sara benar-benar menggoda Pak Dolah tanpa pengetahuan Zain. Namun Sara sering mengadu sebaliknya pada Zain, dan Sara sering menceritakan keburukan Pak Dolah seolah Pak Dolah yang seakan mahu melakukan perkara tak elok padanya, namun Zain tidak mahu percaya. Sara semakin berani, dan di kampung itu Sara mula menunjukkan belangnya yang sebenar, di mana sebenarnya dia adalah bekas pelacur yang terpaksa kahwin dengan Zain ketika mereka ditangkap basah. Dan Sara yang berjanji pada Zain mahu berubah, sebenarnya hanyalah menggunakan kata-kata manis dan pujuk rayu untuk membuatkan Zain percaya. Satu demi satu jejaka di kampung jatuh dalam godaan Sara. Namun mereka semua tidak pernah menyampaikan perkara tersebut kepada suami Sara, Zain kerana masing-masing gembira dengan layanan yang sentiasa Sara berikan. Kejalangan Sara semakin tersebar luas sehingga ke pengetahuan Jamilah, (lakonan Izreen Azminda)seorang janda yang pernah menjadi kekasih Zain sebelum ini. Jamilah cuba untuk memberitahu Zain tentang perkara buruk yang Sara sedang lakukan. Namun Sara mendapat tahu dan dia memanipulasi semula cerita itu dan Zain kemudiannya menyuruh Jamilah menjauhkan diri dari terus menabur fitnah. Sara yang mula berdendam dengan Jamilah, mula memasang perangkap dan menggoda Pak Dolah untuk melaksanakan perangkapnya itu. Sara memberitahu Pak Dolah, jika Pak Dolah inginkan tubuhnya, Pak Dolah mesti mengikut kata-kata Sara supaya memperkosa Jamilah. Pak Dolah yang semakin diburu nafsu, mengikut kata-kata Sara kerana menantikan habuan yang dijanjikan oleh Sara. Setelah memperkosa Jamilah, Sara memberitahu Jamilah pasti akan memberitahu orang kampung dan sebaiknya Jamilah dibunuh. Pak Dolah pada mulanya tidak tergamak untuk melakukannya namun Sara mendesak Pak Dolah kerana jika tidak keadaan akan menjadi lebih rumit dan hidup Pak Dolah akan menjadi lebih teruk. Akhirnya Pak Dolah membunuh Jamilah yang sememangnya sudah tidak berdaya untuk melawan itu. Setelah mereka menguruskan mayat Jamilah, Pak Dolah mula menuntut apa yang Sara telah janjikan. Namun Sara memberitahu dia tidak mahu Pak Dolah tergesa-gesa dan gopoh kerana dia tidak mahu Zain menghidu apa-apa perkara tentang mereka. Berita kehilangan Jamilah mula membuatkan orang kampung tertanya-tanya, namun dengan mudah Sara memberitahu Jamilah mungkin membawa diri kerana cintanya ditolak oleh Zain  Sementara itu Pak Dolah pula merasa semakin tidak sabar menanti janji Sara, apatah lagi bila terdengar perbualan jejaka-jejaka kampung yang masing-masing sudah tergoda dengan kejalangan Sara.Pak Dolah pulang dan memaksa Sara menunaikan janjinya. Sara memberitahu Pak Dolah             dia mahu Pak Dolah melakukan sesuatu dahulu sebelum itu. Pak terkejut bila mendengar Sara mahu Pak Dolah membunuh Zain kerana Sara mengatakan dia sudah benar-benar jatuh cinta pada Pak Dolah dan tidak mahu ada halangan dari Zain. Pak Dolah berkeras tidak mahu  membunuh Zain. Sara mengugutnya, jika tidak dia akan memberitahu Zain dan orang kampung bahawa Pak Dolah yang membunuh Jamilah. Pak Dolah menjadi marah dan cuba memukul Sara, tapi Sara dengan cepat menukar keadaan itu seolah-olah sebenarnya dia sengaja menjadikan keadaan itu hangat. Kata Sara, saat itu sangat sesuai untuk dia menunaikan janjinya pada Pak Dolah.  Sara mula menggoda Pak Dolah, dan Pak Dolah yang memang sedang menunggu waktu itu, dengan mudah terpedaya. Pak Dolah rebah dalam pujukan Sara, dan saat itu juga Zain pulang. Sara yang mendengar kepulangan Zain, terus menjerit meminta tolong dan berpura-pura. Zain berlari masuk dan terkejut bila melihat Sara menjerit memberitahu Pak Dolah mahu memperkosanya. Pak Dolah terkejut. Zain tanpa usul periksa telah memukul ayahnya bertubi-tubi sehingga Pak Dolah separuh nyawa.  Kemudian Zain menghampiri Sara dan meminta maaf kerana tidak pernah mahu mendengar aduan Sara sebelum ini. Ketika itu juga tiba-tiba perut Zain ditusuk benda tajam, Sara menikam Zain dengan sekuat hati menggunakan pisau sambil tersenyum. Sara menghampiri Pak Dolah pula lalu memijak muka Pak Dolah. Sara membongkar rahsia tentang 7 tahun yang lalu di mana Pak Dolah telah menculiknya dan menjualnya ke sempadan Thailand untuk dijadikan pelacur. Dan dia juga yang sebenarnya memerangkap Zain untuk dikahwinkan supaya dapat bertemu dengan Pak Dolah dan membalas dendam yang terpendam. Sara menusukkan pisau itu bertubi-tubi ke dada Pak Dolah. Dan ketika itu juga suara orang kampung datang ke arah rumah mereka. Lantas untuk mengelirukan suasana, Sara menghiris kaki dan tangannya sehingga luka, kemudian berpura-pura menangis meminta tolong. Dia memberitahu orang kampung, Pak Dolah telah membunuh Zain kerana Zain cuba menyelamatkan Sara dari diperkosa oleh ayah mertuanya sendiri. Sara akhirnya berpindah keluar dari kampung itu tanpa siapa pun yang mengetahui kisah sebenar. Dan dia muncul di kampung lain, bertemu dengan seorang lelaki lain lalu tersenyum sendiri, merancang sebuah perjalanan hidup baru.
