Following a successful month-long soft opening, KUMO-KUMO marks its official launch with Sam CN as One-Day Store Manager
The brand also confirms upcoming outlets in SkyAvenue Genting and IOI City Mall
KUALA LUMPUR, 6 December 2025 – KUMO KUMO, the international dessert brand known for its soft, cloud-like Japanese cheesecakes, has officially entered the Malaysian market with its first store in Sunway Pyramid. Following a successful one-month soft launch, the store has already attracted strong foot traffic and social media buzz from families, students, and young professionals.
To mark this milestone, KUMO KUMO has appointed Malaysian singer Sam CN, one-half of the popular duo FS (Fuying & Sam), as its Store Manager for a Day for the grand opening celebration.
Craftsmanship at the Heart of the Brand
Since its founding in 2020, KUMO KUMO has upheld a philosophy of handcrafted excellence, selecting quality ingredients and refining every detail of the baking process to create its signature soft, cloud-like cheesecakes. Known for their airy, melt-in-your-mouth texture, KUMO KUMO’s cheesecakes stand apart from traditional, dense varieties, offering a lighter, more comforting dessert experience.
This dedication to craftsmanship is brought to life through the brand’s hallmark open-kitchen concept, showcased at the Sunway Pyramid outlet. Each cheesecake is prepared in small batches, allowing customers to watch the full process, from the
gentle rise in the oven to the signature jiggly finish and live hot-stamping ritual. This sensory experience has become a defining element of the brand across Asia.
Grand Opening Featuring Sam CN
Every freshly baked cheesecake is marked with KUMO KUMO’s iconic golden handbell ring, a simple yet memorable ritual symbolising the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship, freshness, and joyful experiences.
“It’s an honour to be invited as the One-day Store Manager for the grand opening,” said Sam CN, who was recently nominated for TC Candler’s 2025 “100 Most Handsome Faces”. “KUMO KUMO connects with people through handcrafted warmth and delicious flavours. I’m excited to celebrate this special milestone with everyone.”
The grand opening celebration features baking demonstrations, customer interaction activities, and a special hot-stamp session for freshly made cheesecakes.
Why Malaysia and Why Now
The strong response during the soft launch reflected Malaysia’s growing appetite for handcrafted cheesecakes. Sunway Pyramid’s vibrant mall culture proved to be a perfect match for KUMO KUMO’s engaging, sensory-driven dessert experience.
With enthusiastic customer feedback and strong demand, KUMO KUMO has already confirmed two upcoming locations in Malaysia: Genting SkyAvenue and IOI City Mall Putrajaya, marking an exciting next phase of expansion.

Kuala Lumpur, November 2025 – Many consumers often skip sunscreen because traditional formulas feel thick, sticky, or heavy on the skin. Understanding this, Safi Malaysia set out to create a solution that combines the protection of a sunscreen with the comfort and lightness of a serum, making daily sun care effortless, comfortable, and enjoyable.
As the morning sun painted the skies overFarm Fresh, UPM Serdang, a colourful hot air balloon lifted gracefully above the fields. Against this breathtaking backdrop, Safi Malaysia, the No. 1 halal skincare brand, proudly unveiled its latest innovation, the Safi Perfect White 3X Advance Watery Light Serum Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++, in a launch event designed to capture the product’s very essence: light, radiant, and uplifting.
Recognizing the needs of Malaysian women who live under the tropical sun and are constantly on the go, Safi Malaysia created a breakthrough 2-in-1 serum sunscreen and primer that makes daily sun protection effortless. Many still skip sunscreen because they find it heavy or sticky, yet protection from harmful UV rays is essential to prevent dark spots, premature aging, and dullness. With this in mind, Safi developed a formula that delivers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection with SPF 50+ PA++++, powerful brightening, and long-lasting hydration in a lightweight, watery texture that feels as comfortable as skincare. Designed for all-day wear, this innovation empowers women to face the sun with confidence and ease.
The Safi Perfect White 3X Advance Watery Light Serum Sunscreen is infused with 100X Vitamin C from Kakadu Plum and Niacinamide for advanced brightening efficacy, helping to reduce dark spots, dullness, and hyperpigmentation. At the same time, its 8X Hyaluronic Acid complex locks in hydration, plumps the skin, and smooths fine lines, leaving the complexion refreshed, even-toned, and glowing. Its watery-light texture makes it ideal as a daily sunscreen and a makeup base: primer, ensuring protection without stickiness and leaving no white cast.
“At Safi Malaysia, we believe in empowering women to feel confident and beautiful in their own skin through trusted, halal-certified innovations,” said Ms.Kazlina Kassim, Brand & Insights Specialist at Safi Malaysia. “We know many consumers skip sunscreen because they find it heavy or sticky, but sun protection is essential for healthy, radiant skin. That’s why we created the Safi Perfect White 3X Advance Watery Light Serum Sunscreen, our first-ever 2-in-1 serum sunscreen and primer that protects, brightens, and hydrates while feeling as light as air, helping every woman step out into the sun with confidence and ease.”
The Safi Perfect White 3X Advance Watery Light Serum Sunscreen, Safi’s first-ever serum sunscreen,goes beyond ordinary sun care:
3X Brightening Power with 100X Vitamin C from Kakadu Plum and Niacinamide to fade dark spots and dullness.
8X Hydration Boost with Hyaluronic Acid to lock in moisture, plump fine lines, and refresh the skin.
All Day Comfort for a watery, non-sticky texture that feels weightless on the skin.
Makeup-Friendly Formula doubles as a primer for a smoother, glowing finish.
At only RM 19.90, it offers premium protection and radiance at an affordable price, making it the ideal daily essential for bright, hydrated, and comfortable skin under the Malaysian sun.
To celebrate the launch, Safi Malaysia hosted an exclusive Picnic & Hot Air Balloon Ride at Farm Fresh, UPM Serdang.

Join us at Marina Bay as we come together to welcome 2026.
Over the month of December, visitors to the Bay can enjoy a variety of activities to end the year on a high note and welcome new aspirations for the coming year. A highlight of the festivities is the Brightening Lives light projection show, an annual celebration of inclusiveness and community via exceptional artworks illuminating the façade of The Fullerton Hotel Singapore. The projections will feature artworks by artists with disabilities from ART:DIS, depicting their vision of a thriving Singapore. Also adorning the skyline this year is a light projection showcase set against UOB Plaza 1, which will feature highlights from the best picks from UOB’s Painting of the Year ASEAN Collection.
Visitors at the Bay can catch performances by local artistes at Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay as a part of Come Together @ Esplanade and immerse themselves in the year end celebrations filled with an array of eat and play experiences at Togetherland by World Christmas Market, located at the Bayfront Event Space.
To crown the celebrations, there will be a countdown fireworks display on New Year’s Eve that will illuminate the Marina Bay skyline, joining in the symphony of shared festivities islandwide.
A Spectacle of Skyline Art and Light Showcase
Brightening Lives returns with its signature light projection themed Thriving Beyond Limits. This year’s theme celebrates the many ways strength shines and the unique journeys we each take to thrive. The theme is not defined by traditional ideas of ability, but rather by the act of self-expression, adaptation, and community support.
Presented in collaboration with community partner and local philanthropic organisation, The Majurity Trust, the projections will feature a captivating series of original artworks by artists with disabilities from ART:DIS, a local non-profit dedicated to providing learning and livelihood opportunities through art.
From 26 to 31 December 2025, the façade of The Fullerton Hotel Singapore will be transformed into a dazzling canvas of creativity, showcasing three commissioned artworks, in addition to five adapted artworks.

Threads That Knit by Joy Koh

Future Takes Flight by Koh Jun Kai
‘Future Takes Flight’ by Koh Jun Kai is the final artwork of the commissioned series, a piece that envisions a harmonious future where people, nature and technology coexist. Through a lively reimagining of Singapore’s familiar sights into his playful and abstract style, Jun Kai paints a picture of a forward-looking city that is alive with innovation, creativity, and common purpose.
Alongside the three commissioned pieces are five adapted artworks by other talented ART:DIS artists presenting visuals that complement the commissioned pieces in the telling of the Singapore story. These works explore themes like resilience, respect, openness, unity, creativity and growth, expressed through vibrant florals, symbols of everyday life, the words we exchange, and the people we have weathered storms with. Among these works are three designs adapted from this year’s SG60 National Day Parade fun packs that will be brought to life in a new dynamic and animated form as part of the illuminated tableau set against the historical building.
Joining Brightening Lives and The Fullerton Hotel Singapore in this celebration is a light projection showcase themed Sharing Joy, Celebrating with our Communities, presented by UOB.

Togetherland by World Christmas Market Returns – A Bigger, Brighter Celebration
Visitors can look forward to an array of fun and food at Togetherland by World Christmas Market. Designed around the theme of ‘A Christmas Constellation’, the event will run from 11 December 2025 to 4 January 2026 at its new home, the Bayfront Event Space, which spans 20,000 square metres, and is double the size of its previous venue at The Promontory.

Music lovers can expect to see crowd favourites and up-and-coming artistes like Hey Pelican!, Amni Musfirah and Heema Izzati.
Experience a Symphony of Light and Music through the Countdown Fireworks
The celebrations will culminate in a dazzling display of fireworks that will light up the Marina Bay night sky to usher in 2026. Designed as a 360° experience around Marina Bay, this year’s fireworks display, titled ELYSIUM, is part of a specially curated hour-long musical score, where the spectacle unfolds as a cinematic fireworks musical across four segments, with a total fireworks display duration of 30 minutes. Starting at 11pm on New Year’s Eve, ELYSIUM will transform the skyline into a living canvas of colour, rhythm and wonder.
Delivering Safe and Enjoyable Experiences for All
For public safety and to facilitate crowd management, the number of people entering and leaving key areas around the Bay and its surrounding districts will be regulated on New Year’s Eve. These areas will be closed when their capacity limits are reached. Cycling will not be allowed at key areas around the Bay due to the high density of pedestrians. The open space carpark located beside the Bayfront Event Space will be closed to the public.
Members of the public are advised to take public transport to Marina Bay. If necessary, certain exits of MRT stations in the Marina Bay area will be closed, and visitors will be diverted to other areas. Visitors should also expect longer waiting times when getting to the various transport nodes during arrival and dispersal due to the large crowds. Visitors are urged to follow crowd management and safety measures as well as instructions from security personnel on the ground, to help ensure a safe and enjoyable New Year’s countdown experience for everyone.
The public can refer to the Crowd@MarinaBay map for timely updates on the crowd situation on New Year’s Eve and plan their routes and activities accordingly.
