[MALAYSIA, 1 JUNE 2022] A brand new international production of the world’s most beloved musical – THE SOUND OF MUSIC is coming to Malaysia for the first time this December and a casting search is now on in Malaysia for 18 children, ages six to 14, to be part of the musical as members of the famous von Trapp children. The legendary musical, produced by Broadway International Group, Simone Genatt, and Marc Routh and presented by Base Entertainment Asia, will take stage at the Palace of Culture in Kuala Lumpur, also known as The Istana Budaya.
This highly acclaimed original production of THE SOUND OF MUSIC is directed by three-time Tony Award-winner and Broadway veteran Jack O’Brien, and comes directly from the NETWorks Presentations National Tour, which has entertained audiences for more than three years across North America. The production is choreographed by Danny Mefford and has Music Supervision by Andy Einhorn.
THE SOUND OF MUSIC is one of the most successful Broadway musicals of all time – it won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, as well as the Grammy Award for Best Show Album. It has since entertained generations of audiences within live productions across the world and inspired the beloved film starring Julie Andrews, which won five Oscar Awards, including Best Picture. The film is ranked as one of the highest grossing movies of all time. An Emmy-winning television special starring Carrie Underwood was watched by 44 million people.
Datuk Jared Lim, Chairman of Base Entertainment Asia said, “It is huge for Malaysia to be having its first international musical after a 2.5 years hiatus because of the pandemic. With the overwhelming response we received for The Phantom of the Opera – Kuala Lumpur 2019, we have put Malaysia on the map for international touring musicals. Now with the brand-new Broadway production of The Sound of Music not only premiering in Kuala Lumpur, but also auditioning for local children to star in it, we are taking arts and live entertainment in Malaysia to another level by bridging local and Broadway talent on an international platform.”
Chantal Prudhomme, Chief Executive Officer of Base Entertainment Asia said, “It has been a long wait during this pandemic and we are very happy to be able to finally bring another renowned international musical to Malaysia after the highly-successful The Phantom of the Opera in 2019. These are exciting times for the live entertainment and arts scene in Malaysia because with THE SOUND OF MUSIC premiering in Kuala Lumpur, we are further setting a precedence to present more international productions in the country. Also with the auditions, to be able to give local talent the chance to star in an international production from Broadway with professional actors is not only a dream come true, the possibilities of where this opportunity will take them are endless.”
“We have been eager to bring this beautiful production to Asia for years and are certain that Kuala Lumpur is an ideal city for this highly anticipated global tour,” Simone Genatt and Marc Routh, Executive Producers of Broadway International Group said in a joint statement. Genatt and Routh have worked on various international productions of THE SOUND OF MUSIC for over 25 years, including producing the 1997 Broadway Revival and five global tours as part of Broadway Asia, a production, management, and licensing company in the Asia Pacific region.
Together, the Producers and Presenter of THE SOUND OF MUSIC are looking for 18 outstanding girls and boys from Malaysia to play the roles of the six younger von Trapp children, Friedrich, Louisa, Kurt, Brigitta, Marta and Gretl, in three separate casts. Children auditioning will be assessed by THE SOUND OF MUSIC touring creatives in Malaysia.

The children are expected to sing in English and have a good level of skill in acting, singing (including harmonies) and dancing.

Kuala Lumpur, 1 June 2022 – Recent statistics have shown that Malaysians face various financial uncertainties since the pandemic. According to Bank Negara Malaysia, only 76 percent of households in the country have enough savings to cover three months of living expenses[1]. At the same time, household debt in Malaysia has jumped to nearly RM1.38 trillion between 2018 and 2021 – a situation further worsened by the increasing cost of living[2]. As a whole, Malaysians are currently taking on more debt and are withdrawing from their retirement funds, making it challenging for them to plan or save for their future.
Recognising that financial security is just as crucial as health for a better quality of life, AIA Malaysia today launches its Total Wealth Solution ecosystem to help Malaysians achieve Healthier, Longer, Better Lives.
The Total Wealth Solution ecosystem is designed to support Malaysians at every stage of their lives, through the pillars of Plan Well, Live Well and Protect Well. This is to empower them to inculcate healthy financial habits and make sound financial investments that will fulfil their long-term savings goals. The newly launched Total Wealth Solution is designed to complement the insurer’s current Total Health Solution proposition which was launched in April 2021.
“It is undeniable that the pandemic has forever changed how we view our health and wealth, and we believe that both are equally important for a good quality of life. With the understanding of how Malaysians’ needs have been reprioritised in the past few years, we have designed an end-to-end ecosystem that supports every part of our customers’ lives,” explains Ben Ng, Chief Executive Officer of AIA Bhd.
“With Total Wealth Solution, we want to help our customers Plan Well with financial planning tools and solutions that have been designed specifically to help them work towards a more stable future. And because health is wealth, we want our customers to Live Well with our unique health programme AIA Vitality, where they will be supported with the right tools, knowledge and motivation to practice a healthier lifestyle. Finally, customers will be able to Protect Well, through our comprehensive savings plans that come integrated with the expertise of AIA’s Investment Management services,” added Ben.
Total Wealth Solution has a wide range of insurance and takaful products that are designed to cater to customers’ various financial needs, with the latest being a new wealth plan that focuses on future planning for children. A-Life Wealth Treasure is a comprehensive investment-linked insurance plan that ensures parents will have the necessary long-term savings to prepare for their children’s future.
A-Life Wealth Treasure protects a child against total permanent disability and death with a minimum coverage of RM200,000 which will automatically double when the child is 25 years old. The plan also comes with accidental death benefit for the parent and rewards them when they start saving early for their child. It’s a flexible plan that gives parents the option of withdrawing or topping up the investment amount based on their needs.
Comedian Kuah Jenhan and WOW-LAO BRO perform a short skit as part of the Total Wealth Solution engagement and the insurer’s efforts to tackle financial literacy among Malaysians.
Additionally, as part of the Total Wealth Solution engagement and the insurer’s efforts to tackle financial literacy among Malaysians, AIA has introduced WOW-LAO BRO. This cheeky and quirky personality aims to reach out to Malaysians and help them cultivate healthier financial habits through a series of digital engagements that will feature simple, everyday financial tips.
“We have seen in the past few months that our country has been transitioning well into the endemic phase, and as we return to some semblance of normalcy, we can again set our sights on rebuilding our future with confidence. With Total Wealth Solution, AIA will be a committed partner, empowering Malaysians from all walks of life to kickstart their journey to financial stability,” says Ben.

If money motivates cybercriminals to trick, swindle and steal, then why are they targeting job-seekers who are supposedly income-less and are themselves in need of money?
Job scams have been around for a long time. But it’s getting extra attention lately as Malaysians report receiving way more job invitations through text messages than ever before. These unsolicited job offers promise unbelievably generous earnings in exchange for seemingly easy work that is too tempting to not even try.
Official statistics reveal that as of First Quarter 2022, there are 671.2 thousand unemployed Malaysians. According to a poll by a local university, about 66% of Malaysians are now keen on hybrid working environment due to pandemic concerns such as health and safety. For scammers, this is a goldmine they just wouldn’t miss taking advantage of.
Personal information such as name, birthday, phone number, email address are already valuable — it can actually cost up to $10 on the dark web, according to Kaspersky data. Recently a database seller with claims that they are in possession of dataset that belonged to the registration department for a asking price of RM44,000.
Once in the hands of fake job recruiters a.k.a. cybercriminals, these data can then be sold or traded to other cybercriminals or companies. Scammers will also use these data to commit other cybercrimes such as identity theft or to infect your device with malicious software (malware) to steal more data stored in it.
Cybercriminals also play on a job seeker’s desperation to make money immediately. In Malaysia, most job scams include having the victim send money to the fake recruiter to pay for “investment fees” or to get “commissions” or “bonuses” with higher returns as long as the victim tops up.
Yeo Siang Tiong, General Manager for Southeast Asia at Kaspersky
“By now, people are already aware of the standard red flags of fake job offers sent via email such as the sender’s address, layout, etc. More or less we know how to recognize and avoid it so scammers have changed their delivery mode to text/SMS,” said Yeo Siang Tiong, general manager for Southeast Asia at Kaspersky.
“There is also a lowered expectation of danger in text messages so it’s less scrutinized by the receiver, which means the scam is likely to succeed. When an unsuspecting person gets a message like a job offer with an irresistible pay, she is likely to disregard her mental checklist of warning signs and just click through,” he added.
Yeo also advises companies to take necessary measures to protect their brand and reputation from scammers who exploit their corporate identity and information for fake job offers. Possible reputational losses can be avoided by having the company website, which lists contact details (such as for HR), audited for vulnerabilities.
Kaspersky offers the following tips to job-hunters to help you avoid falling victim to this kind of scam:
Do not respond nor click on links if they come from people or organizations you don’t know. Replying simply confirms to the sender that your phone number is active.
Install a trusted security solution with fraud and phishing protection and follow its recommendations. This will solve most of the problems automatically and alert you if necessary. Remember, personal vigilance is not enough when dealing with sophisticated scam methods used by cybercriminals.
Use multi-factor authentication (MFA). A common variant is a two-factor authentication (2FA) which often uses a text message verification code while a stronger variant includes using a dedicated app for verification (like Google Authenticator).
Be wary of offers to discuss a job or hold an interview in secret chats where messages are encrypted, cannot be forwarded and which alerts the participants if anyone takes a screenshot.
Le Beurre Noisette Gateaux (Hazelnut Brown Butter Cake)
Kuala Lumpur, 1 June 2022 – For every child, a father is their greatest hero and most of the time, it remains that way even into adulthood. To celebrate the special existence of our fathers, Elevete Patisserie has unveiled their exclusive Father’s Day collection. It will be available for pre-order from now until 25 June 2022 only on Elevete Patisserie’s website.
Many fathers show their love through actions rather than words. In the same way, most of us often find words to be insufficient when conveying our gratitude to our great hero which is why Elevete Patisserie is presenting five exclusive desserts specially for you to choose from.
St Honoré
The St Honoré is a dessert replicated from Rue Saint-Honoré in Paris, where the ancient
elegance meets the luxurious modern contemporary. Enjoy a castle of French cream puffs filled with coffee cream and chewy salted caramel that balances out the sweetness of this dessert.
Not forgetting the intense peanut butter feuilletine base, the moist chocolate sponge and most importantly the comforting vanilla mascarpone mousse for a perfect finish.
Behind the strong and bold front that every father puts on, is a caring man who is ever so loving and sacrificial. Reciprocate your love for him with the Le Beurre Noisette Gateaux, a fragrant hazelnut brown butter cake that forms a heavenly match when paired with silky Italian coffee cream. Simple at first glance, but bursting with nutty flavours inside – this dessert mirrors how our dads are like.
Mon Chéri Black Forest Gateaux
The Mon Chéri Black Forest Gateaux made a comeback with an ‘Elevete’ twist thrown into the making, upgrading its flavour profile to suit all Malaysians’ palate. With a generous amount of juicy cherry goodness in one hearty bite, it is topped off with rich chocolate mousse and light mascarpone cream. This superior dessert strings together contrasting flavours in perfect harmony, much like our dads who unified every member of the family as one.
Mon Père (Midnight Sin Entremet)
If your father isn’t a huge fan of sugary goods but still enjoys indulging in sweets from time to time, Mon Père translates to “My Father”, is like the bitter and sweet life our dad has given to us. It is drizzled in 70% bitter chocolate creméux with silky coffee chantilly cream. Layered on top of a hazelnut praline base, it offers a refreshing crunch complemented with a tang of sweetness from its salted caramel.
Is your great dad a big guy? Express your adoration for your one and only beloved hero by getting him a Le Grand Monsieur. It is composed of Elevete Patisserie’s famous upsized
macarons filled with fragrant coffee cream and light mascarpone cream, a perfect fusion of sweet and bitterness. The first love of each daughter and the hero to each son, show our dads just how much he means to us.
All five desserts come with the option of adding on a Grazing Platter for an additional RM55. This collection of desserts is now available online on their official website for pre-order.
