I get a lot of grief from a lot of people, some of it very hostile, when I point out flaws in events or experiences that have a negative impact on the #Malaysia nation #brand. Many of them take it personally, as if I have a hidden agenda. For the record, I don't. I do it for a number of reasons. Mainly because if if all you hear is good news, you start to believe that everything is fine and that nothing needs fixing. Then when you realise it isn't, it's often too late. I also do it because building a successful brand involves multiple stakeholders. Especially a #nationbrand. #Nationbranding is a bit like formula one. Hundreds of key components need to be working perfectly together for a car to win a race. If one small part isn't insync with the others, you won't even finish the race, let alone win it. Over the last week, like millions of Malaysians and many international visitors, I've flown in and out of #klia to domestic destinations. At this time of the year, KLIA is, in many ways the front line of the Malaysia nation brand building process. Porters, airline staff, baggage handlers, security, PDRM, retailers, sales staff and many others are all representatives of the Malaysia brand. It's important for Malaysians to see that these critical actors in the nation branding process are doing their part in delivering on the promises made by the government with #Malaysiamadani. So anyway, back to my reflections on the holiday season experience. Over the years, the experience has been underwhelming, with longer than necessary queues at checkin counters and not enough lanes at the security area tucked away in the corner. This year, the whole process was about as smooth and efficient as it could be. Airlines had more checkin staff manning the counters. The security process, while still a national embarrassment due to the cheap equipment (think trays that are too small and rollers that don't roll) was manned by personnel who were doing their best to safeguard national security while ensuring a stress free experience. They've also added extra lanes to reduce the bottleneck. For me it was a stress free 'balik kampung'. The first in a long time.... So a big thank you to all those who worked at KLIA during the holidays, especially those who sacrificed time during their most important holiday of the year to make sure the rest of us could travel.

Our annual wedding industry (pre) iftar was a great success! It's always one of my favorite industry events to organise. But this got me thinking, as we approach the holy month of Ramadan, I wanted to share with you the numerous benefits of hosting a company iftar. This longstanding tradition not only holds cultural significance but also offers invaluable opportunities for businesses to strengthen their teams and foster relationships. Here are a few reasons why hosting a company iftar can be incredibly beneficial for your business: ➡️ Cultivate a Sense of Belonging: Hosting a company iftar demonstrates inclusivity and respect for diversity within your organisation. It provides an opportunity for employees of different backgrounds to come together, share a meal, and celebrate each other's traditions. This fosters a sense of belonging and unity among team members, leading to a more inclusive and supportive work environment. ➡️ Enhance Cross-Cultural Understanding: Hosting a company iftar provides a unique opportunity for employees to learn about and appreciate different cultures and traditions. By participating in iftar, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of the significance of Ramadan and develop empathy for their colleagues' beliefs and practices. This cultural exchange can help break down barriers, promote diversity, and create a more inclusive work environment. ➡️ Strengthen Business Relationships: Inviting clients, partners, and stakeholders to a company iftar can be a powerful way to strengthen business relationships. Sharing a meal during Ramadan shows respect for your guests' traditions and fosters a sense of goodwill and trust. It provides a relaxed setting for networking, building connections, and exploring potential collaborations, ultimately benefiting your business in the long run. Hosting a company iftar is not only a gesture of cultural respect and inclusivity but also a strategic business move with numerous benefits. It can help boost team spirit, foster relationships, enhance cross-cultural understanding, and strengthen business connections. As we prepare to observe Ramadan, I encourage companies to consider hosting a company iftar as a meaningful way to engage with employees, clients, and partners, and to create a more cohesive and vibrant workplace culture. #Ramadan #Iftar #companyculture #DiversityandInclusion #BusinessRelationships #TeamBuilding #weddingbiz Ramadan Mubarak to all those observing soon! 🌙🌟

Celebrating Team Excellence at Premier Village Phu Quoc Last evening was not just another day at the office; it was a showcase of brilliance, camaraderie, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. At Premier Village Phu Quoc, we turned the spotlight on our team, not for their daily tasks, but for their extraordinary talents on stage. Performance Night: A Symphony of Talent Our team members stepped into the limelight, delivering performances that were nothing short of spectacular. It was an evening where the usual metrics and KPIs gave way to applause meters and standing ovations. Unity Through Competition The competitive spirit was high, but so was the sense of unity. Each act, each performance, was a reminder that we’re not just colleagues; we’re a team that shines brightest together. The WOW Factor Just like our work, the consistency, the ‘wow’ factor, and the drive to be number one were evident. This event was a reflection of our work ethic, where excellence is not an act, but a habit.

🎄 12 Days of Christmas: A Campaign That Brought Us Together This Christmas, we embarked on our 12 Days of Christmas Trails—a campaign that wasn’t just about showcasing the festive spirit of Goa but about something much deeper. It brought our team together in ways we hadn’t imagined. From brainstorming unique trail concepts to executing them flawlessly, every step of the journey was a collective effort. 💡 What Made It Special: Each team member immersed themselves in the planning, marketing, and execution, making this campaign truly collaborative. The focus wasn’t just on creating experiences for our guests but on learning, growing, and enhancing our own journey as a team. We didn’t just deliver an event; we crafted memories—both for our travelers and ourselves. The result? A soulful celebration of Christmas that reminded us why we do what we do—to bring people closer to the stories, traditions, and heart of Goa, while building our own connection as a team. To everyone at Soul Travelling, thank you for making this campaign a true success. This was more than just a project; it was an experience we’ll carry forward into the next year. Here’s to crafting more soulful experiences in 2025! #SoulTravelling #12DaysOfChristmas #Teamwork #ExperientialTravel #Goa
