The 32nd edition of nationwide tournament concludes with a celebration of sportsmanship

KUALA LUMPUR, 7 November 2025 – Carlsberg Golf Classic (CGC), the country’s most celebrated and longest-running amateur golf tournament series, concluded its 32nd edition with an exhilarating finale at the Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club (KLGCC) West Course, offering participating golfers a worldclass stage of the recently concluded LPGA Championship tournament.

With a prize pool worth more than RM2.7 million, Carlsberg Golf Classic 2025 delivered a tournament experience that rewards not just performance, but also sportsmanship, delivering better with every round that’s #BestWithCarlsberg.

Carlsberg Golf Classic (CGC), the country’s most celebrated and longest-running amateur golf tournament series, concluded its 32nd edition with an exhilarating finale at the Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club

This year’s edition brought together over 3,600 golfers across 32 qualifying rounds nationwide — spanning Johor, Kedah, Kuala Lumpur, Malacca, Negeri Sembilan, Penang, Putrajaya, Sabah, Sarawak, and Selangor — and culminating in a national showdown of 64 gross and nett champions of respective golf clubs.

CGC 2025 Gross Champion, Lam Kong Foo

The grand finale saw competitive yet jolly moments from start to finish. Lam Kong Foo emerged victorious as the Gross Champion, delivering a confident and consistent round to clinch the top title with a score of 73, while Kaashvini Sasi Kumar, aged 21, claimed the Nett Champion honours with a final score of 74, playing off a handicap of 6, reflecting steady form across the greens.

Reflecting on the achievement, Kaashvini, from Kelab Rahman Putra Malaysia shared, “I owe this to my parents and loved ones, who have been my biggest cheerleaders, believing in me even on my toughest days. Winning the Nett Champion title at Carlsberg Golf Classic means so much to me. Playing alongside golfers of all levels on such a course reminded me that golf isn’t just about scores, it’s about friendships, and the shared joy of competing together.”

Reflecting on the tournament’s enduring legacy, Stefano Clini, Managing Director of Carlsberg Malaysia, said, “The Carlsberg Golf Classic perfectly embodies our Semper Ardens spirit — the passion to keep improving and deliver experiences beyond expectations. This tournament has grown with the same spirit that defines our brand: quality, innovation, and a commitment to excellence. From worldclass greens to the enjoyment of a perfectly ice-cold Carlsberg after a great round, we continue to give golfers access to the best — moments that are, and always will be, #BestWithCarlsberg.”

Making headlines this year was the debut of Auto Bavaria (BMW) as CGC’s newest premium partner, offering two BMW iX2 xDrive30 M Sport vehicles as Hole-in-One prizes at the National Finals – each worth RM299,600.

Partners adidas, TaylorMade, Garmin, Vespa, and Le Botanical continued their unwavering support, contributing performance-driven gear, golf technology, apparel, lifestyle rewards, and signature Carlsberg experiences for participants throughout the tournament.

 

100PLUS PRO High Protein and Netflix’s ‘Physical: Asia’ team up to inspire everyday athletes ‘Unlock Their 100’ and fuel like a pro

High gear collaboration celebrating strength, endurance, and recovery – with nationwide consumer promotions across Singapore

Singapore, 5 November 2025  –  Building on its commitment to empower active lifestyles and performance recovery, 100PLUS PRO High Protein, Singapore’s number one isotonic drink with added protein and BCAAs, has teamed up with Netflix’s Physical: Asia series – a competition reality show featuring elite athletes from eight countries battling for national pride in grueling tests of strength and endurance – bringing together two champions of performance, endurance, and resilience.

This partnership brings together two champions of endurance and resilience, inspiring everyday athletes and achievers to “Unlock their 100” and rise stronger through peak hydration and recovery.

Hydration Engineered for Peak Performance

The non-carbonated 100PLUS PRO High Protein is formulated to support hydration and promote muscle recovery during and after physical activities. Formulated based on nutritional science, it combines hydration with top-quality functional ingredients that aid muscle recovery and sustained energy, featuring:

  • 10 grams of protein with 2 grams of Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) per 500-ml bottle, both derived from Whey Protein Isolate, a high-quality protein source extensively used in sports and health nutrition.
  • Electrolytes, which replenish what the body loses through sweat to maintain hydration balance.
  • BVitamins (B3, B6, and B12), which all contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. In addition, Vitamin B3 helps to release energy from proteins, fats and carbohydrates, while Vitamin B6 is important for the production of energy. Both Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12 help in the formation of red blood cells.1

Research shows that consuming protein during and after a fitness activity enhances recovery, growth and maintenance of muscle mass2, while BCAAs mitigate muscle damage and aid recovery between exercise sessions.3 

According to Healthhub.sg based on the average Singaporean weight, 10 grams of protein is approximately one-fifth of the daily protein requirement typically recommended for adults aged 18 to 49.4

For fitness enthusiasts mindful of their nutritional intake, 100PLUS PRO High Protein is lower in sugar, has a low Glycemic Index (GI), carries the Healthier Choice Symbol from the Health Promotion Board (HPB), and is Halal-certified.

When Hydration Meets Storytelling

100PLUS PRO and Netflix’s Physical: Asia unite in a dynamic collaboration that celebrates the strength of the human spirit – from everyday athletes to elite competitors. As Southeast Asia’s leading isotonic brand, 100PLUS is built on the values of perseverance, endurance, and rising stronger through challenges.

These same qualities are at the core of Physical: Asia, Netflix’s first-ever nation-vs-nation showdown, where eight countries face off in high-stakes tests of strength, strategy, and teamwork. Set in grand, cinematic arenas inspired by Korean and pan-Asian heritage, the series celebrates resilience, passion, and national pride.

Together, 100PLUS PRO and Physical: Asia spotlight individuals who push boundaries and perform under pressure– where hydration meets heart, and recovery powers resilience.

In Singapore, 100PLUS has long been part of the nation’s active lifestyle – from school sports days to national-level competitions. Physical: Asia mirrors that same spirit seen in Singaporeans who show up, push harder, and never back down. With 100PLUS PRO High Protein, the brand continues to support this journey by offering hydration and recovery solutions that meet real needs, whether for marathon training or everyday activity. The partnership with Netflix brings this energy to life, inspiring communities to keep striving and rising stronger.

Exclusive Promotions – Physical: Asia x 100PLUS PRO High Protein

To mark the launch of this collaboration with the Netflix series, 100PLUS is rolling out a series of promotions across Singapore for consumers from November to December 2025 – bringing the energy of the Physical: Asia arena to local gyms, supermarkets, and online retail platforms.

In-store Promotion

Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre Delivers Flawless Execution of the 47th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits

By

KUALA LUMPUR, 6 NOVEMBER 2025 – The Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (the Centre) proudly marked another milestone in its legacy of excellence with the successful hosting of the 47th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits, a historic gathering that united global and regional leaders under one roof in the heart of Malaysia’s capital.

Throughout the week, the Centre served as the primary venue for one of the region’s most significant diplomatic gatherings. We welcomed Heads of State, ministers, and senior officials from across the ASEAN bloc and beyond. The event not only reinforced Malaysia’s prominence on the world stage but also showcased the Centre’s unparalleled professionalism, operational precision, and hospitality standards.

Reflecting on this remarkable achievement, John Burke, General Manager of the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, commended his team for their dedication and outstanding performance, “Hosting the 47th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits was a national moment, and our team made Malaysia proud. From the first leader’s arrival to the final departure, our guests praised our immaculate venue, world-class cuisine, and calm, coordinated professionalism at every turn. This success is a testament to planning, teamwork, and pride that define who we are.”

The Summit welcomed a distinguished roster of world leaders, including China’s Premier Li Qiang, European Council President António Costa, Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Australia Anthony Albanese, Prime Minister of New Zealand Christopher Luxon, and U.S. President Donald Trump, with India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi joining virtually.

One of the event’s many milestones was Timor-Leste’s official admission into ASEAN, marking the bloc’s first expansion in decades. Additionally, the signing of the “Kuala Lumpur Peace Accord” between Thailand and Cambodia, witnessed by Prime Minister YAB Dato’ Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim and President Donald Trump underscored the Centre’s significance as a venue for diplomacy and peacebuilding.

Behind the scenes, the event’s scale was remarkable. 650 metres of red carpet, 3,403 square metres of LED screens, and 1,500 metres of draping were deployed in transforming the venue into a world-class summit environment. Over the 10-day period, the culinary and service teams delivered an exceptional 25,000 meals and served more than 101,000 cups of beverages, catering to delegates, media, and support personnel with precision and grace.

The Centre’s 1,000-strong workforce, supported by partners across the KLCC Precinct, worked tirelessly across Security, Stewarding, Catering, Culinary, Event Coordination & Setup, Asset Management, Housekeeping, IT/AV, as well as Sales & Marketing, to ensure seamless operations throughout. Compliments from the ASEAN Organising Committee (SILA), visiting delegations, media, and international security teams including the White House and U.S. Secret Service further reinforced the Centre’s reputation for world-class standards and composure under pressure.

“Events of this magnitude and importance are where our standards truly shine,” Burke added. “Our team operated with composure and care, showing that cleanliness, food quality, setup precision, and coordination, when delivered to our standard, are truly competitive advantages. More importantly, they showcased the very best of Malaysian hospitality to the world.”

The Summit also highlighted the strength of the integrated KLCC Precinct, encompassing the Convention Centre, PETRONAS Twin Towers, hotels, shopping, and recreational spaces, creating a dynamic and secure environment that positioned Malaysia’s capital as a global destination for high-level meetings and business events.

In recognition of the team’s achievement, Prime Minister YAB Dato’ Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim personally expressed his appreciation to the Centre’s team, acknowledging their professionalism and the pride they brought to this national endeavour.

The successful delivery of the 47th ASEAN Summit builds on the Centre’s proven track record of hosting major international conferences and government events, reinforcing its role as Malaysia’s flagship venue for diplomacy, collaboration, and world-class event experiences.
