Stand to win exclusive prizes when you take part in any of the Guinness St. Patrick’s Day activities and share the memorable moments you’ve enjoyed with friends, family and the true lucky charms and companions in your lives!

Guinness Malaysia is back with a month-long celebration for fans to celebrate the good times this St. Patrick’s Day. Guinness Malaysia’s 2023 St. Patrick’s celebration, “Our Day to Remember”, is all about bringing fans together to celebrate their loved ones - their true lucky charms - as they commemorate the good times with Guinness. With a series of activations happening at participating bars and pubs from now until the end of March, the brand has lined up an array of activities, games, and giveaways for fans to celebrate. 

This year, the brand wants to elevate fans’ St. Patrick’s Day experience with the first-ever, Guinness St. Patrick’s anthem. With this, fans can immortalize their memories in the form of a reel or video and post it on their social media platforms using the soundtrack. All they have to do is select up to eight photos of them and their lucky charms creating memories, then to compile them into a reel or video with the exclusive Guinness St. Patrick’s Anthem accompanying it. More information about it can be found at www.guinnessstpatricks.com. 

To take the festive celebration up a notch for fans, Guinness is rewarding fans who take a trip down memory lane and use the Guinness St. Patrick’s anthem with exclusive merchandise. The more fans use the anthem, the more prizes will be unlocked. For every 30 uses of the anthem, Guinness will give away three prizes, meanwhile for every 300 uses, 30 prizes will be unlocked, and if 3,000 fans use the anthem, 300 users will stand to walk away with the prizes. Up for grabs are the exclusive Guinness mugs, as well as the Guinness festive St. Patrick’s hats. 

“St. Patrick’s Day is an important one for Guinness since the aspect of communion is so deeply engrained in our brand DNA. We wanted to introduce a novel and magical experience for fans to commemorate the good times with our Guinness St. Patrick’s Anthem. Besides celebrating their loved ones – their true lucky charms - we will be further amplifying the Guinness St. Patrick’s celebration with an array of activities and games for Guinness lovers all month long,” 

said Shaun Lim, Marketing Manager of Guinness Malaysia.

Hi merry goers,

Are you looking for better opportunities or maybe you're an employer struggling to recruit the right talent? Is it currently an employer marker or a jobseeker market? 

Despite a possible economic slowdown, 2023 remains to be a jobseekers’ market in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong – including Malaysia – according to SEEK, the parent company of Asia’s leading online employment marketplaces JobStreet and JobsDB. This is backed by findings from a new study, titled “What Job Seekers Wish Employers Knew: Unlocking the Future of Recruitment”, released today by SEEK, the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), and The Network, a global alliance of recruitment websites which SEEK’s JobStreet and JobsDB are a part of. 

The report also provided recommendations on how employers can improve the recruitment process and the total offer to candidates, including how to overcome their biases to increase their talent pool, calibrate their approach to different personas, get culture fundamentals right, and more. 

The study – which surveyed 97,324 respondents in Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand – found that 34% of talents surveyed are actively looking for a new job. 

The top three motivations for searching for a new job are: 

1. looking for a more interesting position or higher seniority (49%)
2. lacking opportunities for upward career progress at the current place (30%) and 
3. unsatisfied with salary and benefits at a current job (27%). 

Talents feel confident to look out for new opportunities despite fears of recession as the majority surveyed are aware of their attractiveness to employers. In fact, the study found that 74% of talent around the region are approached multiple times per year about new job opportunities — and 36% of those are approached every month. In Malaysia, these numbers are equally high at 67% and 25% respectively. In addition, 70% of the region’s respondents and 69% of Malaysians feel that they are in a strong negotiating position when looking for a job. 

Peter Bithos, Chief Executive Officer, Asia, SEEK, commented on the findings,

“When faced with a possible recession, the balance of power in the labour market tends to shift towards employers as hiring tightens. However, we believe the situation is different this time as many organisations in Asia are still recovering from the jobs lost during the pandemic. 

While hiring growth may slow down during times of uncertainty, there is no doubt that it is still a jobseekers’ market right now, and so it’s important for employers to know how to attract, recruit and retain talent.” 

The top 3 most coveted talents (based on the percentage of respondents who are approached frequently with job opportunities) are in the areas of: 

1. Information Technology 
2. Digitisation, data science and artificial intelligence, and 
3. Education, such as teachers and trainers.

Ideal Hiring Journey 

The survey also debunked and proved several recruitment myths and gave insight into what jobseekers want in their recruitment journey, for instance: 

• A smooth and timely process is the number one way for an employer to stand out during recruitment (67%), as 49% would refuse an attractive job offer if they face a negative experience.
• Recruitment platforms are the top channel used when applying for a job. Meanwhile, the best way to raise interest when someone is not looking for a job comes from a recommendation by a friend. Once they are interested, most will look for further information through social media and company websites.
• Advanced digital tools are not favoured even among the young generation. Many prefer to see personal interactions during the recruitment process, with only 24% stating they would be comfortable participating in an AI-led automated interview.

Hi merry goers,

This is the season of love and if you're looking for a gift that signifies your love for someone, there's no better gift than the gift of gold. Of course we all know that gold is one of the most well-sought jewellery due to the value it carries over time and you'd probably think it would be above your budget. Well, today I'm going to share with you where you can get the CHEAPEST gold prices in town! 

I got to know from a friend of mine that Chiang Heng Jewellery is known for its competitive gold prices and high value. Not only that, they also specialize in all kinds of gold jewellery with the most affordable price tags in town.

I'm surprised that I have not heard of them before because they currently operate 18 branches throughout Malaysia and has also been awarded the Brand Excellence Award by Asia Pacific TOP Excellence Brand Committee and Outstanding SME Award by the Golden Bull Award. Last year, the company received further recognition when presented with the Malaysia Consumers' Recommended Award 2022. 

More than just affordable prices, Chiang Heng Jewellery offers a wide variety of jewellery and fashionable designs, meeting every important moment of one’s life. Chiang Heng Jewellery's best sellers are Gold Abacus series, from rings, necklaces, bracelets, etc., all of which have the symbolic meaning of attracting wealth and luck and are loved by all. Minimalist gold pendants and rings are some of the favorites among couples and young people.

From design to manufacturing down to the final product, Chiang Heng prides themselves as a dedicated retailing and wholesaling company, every process goes through a strict process to make sure that our customers get the best quality product at the most accessible price even for recycled gold. 

If you're looking to resell your gold, you can also drop by for them to determine the best price for you. Whether it's new or recycled gold, broken, used, dented or blackened gold ornaments, rest assured that at Chiang Heng Jewellery, you will receive the best recycle gold value. all customers get to enjoy the best service including a high recycled gold value. 

This year, since it is the Year of The Rabbit, I got myself a super cute Gold Rabbit Pendant Bracelet! In modern times, most of us would tend to choose other jewellery instead of gold as it is thought to be old school or not trendy but not the jewellery at Chiang Heng. Just take a look at the Gold Rabbit Bracelet I got. It’s just so adorable and minimalist too - it matches well for daily wear and also for any simple occasion.

What I like about shopping at Chiang Heng Jewellery is their 7-days exchange and return policy to ensure that every customer is satisfied with their products and services. In the unlikely event that your other half is dissatisfied with your gift, you can return the said item (without damage) to Chiang Heng Jewellery within seven (7) days from the date of purchase with T&C applied. This is especially convenient for gift-giving customers. 

The company also does complimentary repair services within 30 days from the date of purchase, except in the case of lost gold ornaments resulting in the need for gold replacement. As for maintenance needs such as blackened or bent jewellery, Chiang Heng Jewellery provides a lifetime free jewellery cleaning service. For some specific jewellery collections, customers can also enjoy free laser engraving services.

Created with a mixture of delicious spicy gravy, paired with fried tofu and topped with spring onions, this dish will undoubtedly make you go “Hot-Ah”! Whether you’re coming in to enjoy a meal alone or to share it with your family and friends, TCRS has catered this menu to suit your preference with three different sets to choose from for varying groups. 

Wong Kah Yong, Chief Executive Officer of TCRS Restaurants Sdn Bhd shared that in almost every culture, different foods have different symbolic meanings. For instance, within the Chinese household, chicken is often associated with prosperity and luck, hence it is usually served during Chinese New Year reunion dinners. 

“Apart from welcoming the year with great fortune, at TCRS, we want to create a space where you can interact with people you have not met often as you enjoy every bite of our meal. We’re here to cater to the different needs of our customers and with this Ayam Hot-Ah, our customers are in for a spicy treat,” said Kah Yong. 

Additionally, to hype this Lunar New Year, TCRS is calling its customers to partake in the ‘Ayam Hot-Ah’ challenge (where participants are invited to send in a video to shout the longest “Hot-Ah” in the most creative manner) organized by TCRS in conjunction with its newly launched menu.

Hey merry goers,

I hope you're hungry because I've got a good food spot to share with all of you. If you're a fan of Ikan Bakar, you definitely want to pay this super awesome and affordable eatery in Cyberjaya. To those of you not from Cyberjaya, let me assure you that it's worth the visit! 

Located at CBD Perdana 2, Cyberjaya just down the road from D'Pulze Mall you will spot many people queuing by the corridor amidst billows of smoke in the air. Be careful not to breathe in too deeply, as the spices from the marinated seafood grilling on the open stove might just make you cough and sneeze.

There are two seating area: Indoor and Outdoor. Peak time is lunch hour so either go before 12pm or after 2pm but I recommend come earlier otherwise the dishes might be gone. 

It was a sight to behold with the amount of seafood grilling before your eyes stingray, catfish, mackerel, squid, cockles, and more, and are freshly grilled daily! My mouth just started salivating as I watch the handy chefs at work. Make sure to keep your eyes sharp on the prize as once these seafood are grilled, they are snatched up by hungry vultures like yourself too. Pairing with the grilled seafood, there's kuah ikan bakar (outdoor grill), kuinin sambal belacan, sambal belacan, kuah asam, sambal kicap and sos thai.

What did we order for 4pax:

Grilled Stingray | Fish Eggs | Grilled Mega Squid | White Rice | Kerabu | Drinks

All I can say is, this was worth queuing for table and for our fishes from the grill. The marinade was top notch and the seafood was grilled to perfection. You definitely have to order the stingray 'Ikan Pari' and the squid. If you're more of a fried fan, get the Sotong Salut Tepung Goreng (Deep Fried Squid) which was also a popular option. 

If you're in a rush and can't wait for your food to be grilled, check out the wide range of ready-to-eat local dishes like the Kerabu which I aimed for or the Gulai Ikan, Ayam Masak Merah, Ayam Goreng Berempah and much more. 

Payment wise, once you're seated one of the waiter will come to your table and tabulate your total meal which you pay at the counter once you're done eating. In total 4 pax it came up to RM60+ which was really reasonable seeing how the four of us actually had difficulties finishing the food. 

This is definitely the best grilled seafood in a Cyberjaya restaurant and I would definitely come back to try more of their other dishes and seafood. 

Address: Blok 4806 0-09 CBD Perdana 2, Persiaran Perdana, 63000 Cyberjaya
Contact no: 019-430 0292
Opening hours: Monday – Saturday, 10:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

To kick it up a notch amongst Malaysian fans, Tiger introduced ‘Gan Gan Chong’, which means the spirit to break through, as a blessing of boldness this CNY. 

Bringing this blessing to life, Tiger partnered with three homegrown artists - Dato Maw, Han Xiiao Ai and Danny Lee - to create a CNY song and music video, entitled ‘The Boldest Chase’.

By tapping on the screen of mobile devices, or pressing the ‘T’ key on the desktop when they spot the lucky Tiger logo, viewers will be able to unlock the rewards. The music video was revealed at the campaign launch event that took place at the concourse area of Tropicana Gardens Mall, which has been transformed to depict the vibrant streets of Chinatown and included various interactive activities for consumers and shoppers to enjoy. 

Guests were treated to an energetic performance by the three artists upon checking out the interactive activities such as the ‘Trail of the Tiger’, ‘Roar Challenge’, ‘Gold Bar Challenge’, ‘Gan Gan Chong’ Dance Challenge, and ‘Lou-A-Fortune’ game where they got to take a pause and indulge in the festive spirit. These activities are available from now until 23rd January at Tropicana Gardens Mall, for consumers to experience and win exciting prizes. 

With the energy at an all-time high, guests were ushered to Extra Super Tanker Restaurant for dinner. There, they enjoyed an energizing lion dance performance, a yee sang toss to commemorate the occasion and invite abundance for the Year of the Rabbit, and stage performances, all while celebrating bold beginnings with Tiger. 

“Last year we roared together and made the best out of a challenging and disruptive year! This year we encourage our fans to have a bold courage to face the challenges of 2023 with the spirit of “Gan Gan Chong”.
