Few things ignite more excitement in Malaysia than the return of durian season—and this year, Bigo Live is taking the celebration to a whole new level. The leading global livestreaming platform has officially announced the launch of BIGO Durian Fiesta 2025, a nationwide campaign that combines the country’s love for the King of Fruits with the thrill of online competitions and a one-of-a-kind offline event: the Durian Fiesta Party, set to take place on 26 July 2025 in the lush durian orchards of Raub, Pahang.

    More than just a seasonal celebration, BIGO Durian Fiesta 2025 is a vibrant fusion of food, culture, and livestreaming. As part of the campaign, top Bigo Live creators and dedicated fans will gather for a full day of fun and festivities in Raub, competing in the ultimate Durian Eating Challenge. Here, over 40 participants will race against the clock—and the Malaysian heat—to finish 100 durians in under one hour, pushing their speed and stamina to the limit. Other activities lined up include quirky and exciting durian-themed games such as the Durian Holding Contest, Durian Chopping Relay, and Guess the Durian’s Weight Contest, all while enjoying unlimited servings of Malaysia’s most beloved durian varieties.

    According to a Bigo Live Malaysia spokesperson, “Durian season is a much-awaited time in Malaysia. The BIGO Durian Fiesta 2025 promises to turn unforgettable moments into a highly shareable, engaging experience both online and offline. This celebration is about highlighting what makes our local community so vibrant—our passion, our flavours, and our love for connecting through livestreaming.”

    To earn a spot at the Durian Fiesta Party, Bigo Live users can participate in the Durian Showdown: The King of All, an in-app ranking contest running from 1 to 20 July. The competition will feature themed livestreams, gifting challenges, and community-driven hype, with participants climbing leaderboards based on Beans received or gifted.

The final top 20 creators and 20 fans will be awarded exclusive invites to the offline party in Raub. Phase 2 of the campaign will also spotlight a special Durian Showdown Livehouse session and offer double rewards through Bigo Live’s Votebox feature.

    Beyond the competitions, the BIGO Durian Fiesta 2025 offers a rare chance for fans to connect in real life with their favourite creators, building a stronger sense of community around a shared cultural passion. It’s a meaningful offline extension of the digital connections Bigo Live has been nurturing across Malaysia and beyond.

    ESG Association of Malaysia Launches AI-Powered ESGAMConnect Platform to Accelerate Business Sustainability. The ESG Association of Malaysia (ESGAM) has officially launched ESGAMConnect, an innovative AI-powered Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) platform, in collaboration with iForte Intelligence Sdn Bhd. Designed to transform the ESG landscape for Malaysian businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), ESGAMConnect aims to accelerate the country’s shift toward a sustainable, low-carbon economy.

    This all-in-one digital ecosystem provides businesses with access to a wide range of ESG tools and resources. At its core is an AI virtual assistant that helps users navigate the ESG value chain—from learning and development to compliance and reporting. The platform features digital ESG assessments to identify operational gaps, training programmes, and a sector-specific marketplace that connects users with verified ESG consultants, trainers, auditors, and solution providers.

    ESGAMConnect also facilitates ESG reporting and audit readiness by offering referrals to relevant accreditation bodies and recommending appropriate carbon credit platforms. The inclusion of a financing and grants hub enables businesses to explore government-backed support schemes and green financing options, helping them scale ESG initiatives and tap into emerging investment opportunities. By integrating these capabilities, ESGAMConnect transforms ESG adoption from a compliance burden into a strategic, data-driven business advantage.

    The launch event, held at the IBM Malaysia Auditorium, was officiated by Minister of Digital YB Gobind Singh Deo, and attended by key figures including Ministry of Digital Secretary-General Tuan Fabian Bigar, ESGAM President Professor Cheah Kok Hoong, ESGAM Vice-President and ESGAMConnect Project Lead Eric Chong, and iForte CEO Ng Chin Keong. In his address, the Minister highlighted the critical role of digital technologies in enabling sustainable growth, stating that AI-powered tools like ESGAMConnect are pivotal in helping businesses embed responsible practices and stay competitive in the green economy.

    Professor Cheah underscored the platform’s strategic importance, calling ESGAMConnect a national ecosystem driven by intelligence, accessibility, and collaboration. He emphasized that the platform is a unifying force bringing together government, businesses, and civil society to champion ESG progress, especially for SMEs aiming to lead with purpose and adopt sustainable business models.

    To strengthen its ecosystem, ESGAM also formalized strategic partnerships through Memoranda of Understanding with Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), National Tech Association of Malaysia (PIKOM), SME Association of Malaysia (SMEAM), and Malaysian CSO-SDG Alliance (MCSA). These collaborations aim to broaden ESGAMConnect’s reach and support capacity-building efforts for businesses nationwide.

    With sustainability increasingly recognized as a driver of long-term business value, ESGAMConnect offers enterprises a robust framework for translating ESG principles into measurable, competitive outcomes. ESGAM is also calling on ESG service providers to partner by showcasing their solutions on the platform, further enriching Malaysia’s sustainability ecosystem.
