  • A Collaboration Between Malaysia and Taiwan in the Production of “Mr.Player” Special Edition

    Sanlih E-Television (SET), China Television Company (CTV), Taiwan TV Station, and 8TV, the No. 1 Chinese channel in Malaysia, have joined forces to produce a brand-new special project for the Taiwanese reality game show “Mr.Player.” Four 8TV hosts, Rickman Chia, Orange Tan, Natalie Ng, and Ash Lu, participated in the show’s recording for the first time, giving it fresh life as part of this partnership to celebrate 8TV’s 20th anniversary. It was filmed in both Taiwan and Malaysia.

    This is a major milestone for Malaysia’s leading Chinese-language television channel, known for its high-quality localized content that nurtures and provides a steady platform for local talents. This collaboration is sure to take 8TV’s content to a brand new level whilst also providing opportunities for their home-grown talents to gain valuable experience and exposure.

    Resorts World Genting and GINVERA, as partners, have brought together celebrities from Taiwan and Malaysia for this special project, which will officially premiere on 8TV every Sunday night at 9:00PM beginning October 29th. The ‘Mr.Player’ Exclusive Partnership ceremony was held on 5th September, where the three hosts Jacky Wu, Kid Lin, and Ken Hsieh led a group of artists in making appearances and sharing interesting shooting stories with the media.

    In conjunction with this project, Rickman Chia and Orange Tan traveled to Pingtung, Taiwan last month and completed the first half of the filming alongside Taiwanese artists including Jason Chung, Gary Tang, Win Feng, Jupiter, Wenny Lin and Zoe Hu. Last week, the program shifted to Genting Highlands and other locations in Malaysia to continue filming. Natalie Ng and Ash Lu from 8TV have also joined the guest lineup. Other artists who participated in the recording include Malaysian singer Andrew Tan, Jess Lee, Kaia Lee, and three Taiwanese artists Dino Lee, Patty Wu and Pan Ying Chu.

    This is the second time Team ‘Mr.Player’ has visited Malaysia this year, following their recording trip to Ipoh, Perak in July. Over the past few years, the program team has traveled across Malaysia many times, including Terengganu, Penang, Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Sabah and other states for filming. The program’s format involves the hosts and guests splitting into two teams, one black and one yellow. They engage in competitive tasks, with the winners receiving rewards and the losers facing terrifying punishments.

    ‘Mr.Player’ has performed exceptionally well in terms of ratings and word-of-mouth since its broadcast, earning the love of audiences in Taiwan and Malaysia. Besides its diverse range of game content, the show’s lineup of guests often becomes a hot topic of discussion among viewers. Notably, the program received the “Most Popular Variety Show’’ award at the 2022 Taiwan Golden Bell Awards. Additionally, Jacky Wu and Kid Lin have also been honored twice as the “Best Host in a Reality or Game Show” at the Golden Bell Awards for their roles in this show. 8TV is committed to building a strong local entertainment platform for the industry and will also continue to collaborate with other industry players to create even more exciting and innovative content.

    The addition of premium tea brand Akbar Tea to QSR Trading’s lineup is something we at QSR Trading are quite excited about. Being the first beverage brand to be added to QSR Trading’s portfolio, Akbar Tea represents a significant milestone.

    Starting from 12th September 2023, Akbar Tea will grace the shelves of leading supermarkets and  hypermarkets nationwide in addition to being made available for purchase via the QSRT Mart at https://www.qsrtmart.com.my/. This move comes as Malaysia becomes the newest market for Akbar Tea, which is already present in 100 countries worldwide.

    Each of the three Akbar Tea variants presents unique properties that cater to different tastebuds. The  Red & White Tea, cultivated in the lush mountains of Sri Lanka 2,000 feet above sea level, boasts a  deep red colour with strong and smooth flavours. The Gold Black Tea, grown between 4,500 and  6,000 feet above ground in pristine air, offers a rich and robust flavour. Meanwhile, the Green Tea  hails from the finest tea gardens of Yunnan and Jiangxi in eastern China, delighting with its lingering  sweet taste and potent antioxidants. 

    QSR Trading General Manager Chan Chong Thye said “Akbar Tea embodies the changing perception  of tea as a sensual and wellness drink, particularly among younger consumers.  

    “The decision to introduce Akbar Tea in Malaysia comes at a strategic time when the tea market in  the country is on a steady growth trajectory.  

    “According to Nielsen IQ, the black tea category has seen 13.8% value growth and 7.5% volume  growth as of Year to Date (YTD) March 2023. As such, QSR Trading aims to make its mark in this  burgeoning segment by offering premium quality tea at affordable prices, providing a compelling  choice for tea enthusiasts,” he said. 

    Akbar Tea is produced in the only carbon-inset factory in the world, boasting unmatched renewable  energy credits in Sri Lanka and the region.

    TO SHAPE MALAYSIA’S TOURISM FUTURE AND GLOBAL BUSINESS VIA CULTURAL DIVERSITY, THE ICWC ’23

    The International Conference and Exhibition on World Cultures 2023 (ICWC ’23) was launched with a bang by the spectacular “A Taste of ICWC” event, which was officiated by Dato’ Sri Haji Fadillah bin Haji Yusof, Malaysia’s Deputy Prime Minister. The UDS Media Sdn. Bhd.-organized event gave attendees a fascinating preview of the major conference in November, with a focus on promoting tourism and intercultural cooperation as key business strategies.

    ‘A Taste of ICWC’ went beyond showcasing cultural diversity; it immersed attendees in a global tapestry of cultures. Representatives from countries such as New Zealand, Fiji, Australia, Cuba, Ukraine, and more, engaged directly with visitors through interactive exhibition booths meticulously designed to convey the essence of their respective cultures, laying the foundation for cross-cultural partnerships.

    Dato’ Sri Haji Fadillah said, “ICWC ‘23 serves as a dynamic platform for economic and cultural exchange. It provides countries with an invaluable chance to promote their tourism, trade, and investment opportunities. By showcasing their cultural treasures, nations can attract travelers, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts who seek to explore and engage with the wonders they have to offer.”

    Throughout the event, guests enjoyed a cultural showcase featuring captivating performances, including Indonesia’s Angklung Musical, Cuba’s Flamenco Dance, the Dominican Republic’s Bachata Dance, Malaysia’s Dikir Barat performance, the Istana Budaya Orchestra Musical, and an ‘Azizah’ ballad performed by renowned impersonator P. Radhi, celebrated for his portrayal of the beloved, late Tan Sri P. Ramlee.

    In addition to this, ‘A Taste of ICWC’ introduced its first-ever ‘Aziza Cultural Excellence Award’ presented to the honorary P. Ramlee, received by his granddaughter, Najua Nasir, in recognition of his significant contributions to Malaysia’s cultural heritage.

    Looking ahead, ICWC ’23 is poised to be a transformative event, featuring innovative strategies that aim to catalyze economic growth and promote global understanding.

Culture is not static; it is a living, breathing entity that enriches our lives and holds the potential to drive economic growth. By showcasing our cultural heritage, we attract travelers seeking authentic experiences, leading tourism revenue and sustainable development.”

    “ICWC and “A Taste of ICWC” serve as reminders that culture can be a bridge, not a barrier. In an interconnected world, cultural exchange fosters understanding, respect, and collaboration. It builds bridges that connect people and nations, transcending language and politics. It is through culture that we can find common ground and work together to address global challenges,” he added.
