The Labs × M&M Creations Artist Series: A Malaysian Creative Takeover

The Labs at Bukit Bintang City Centre (BBCC), in collaboration with M&M Creations Holdings Sdn. Bhd., presents The Labs: Artist Series, a four-month creative programme celebrating Malaysian homegrown talent and transforming The Labs into a platform where art, intellectual property (IP), technology, retail and audience experiences come together.

Running from August 2026 to December 2026, the Artist Series brings together four Malaysian IPs — Pasaroly, Guji Guji, The Good Boisss and Oh! Doodlez — alongside mural artists Jefr Studio and Novak Batik. Each artist brings a distinctive creative perspective, with works unfolding across The Labs through physical installations, immersive digital experiences, murals, merchandise and interactive activities.

Each featured IP anchors a different festive chapter of the programme: Pasaroly for Merdeka and Malaysia Day, Guji Guji for Mid-Autumn, The Good Boisss for Halloween, and Oh! Doodlez for the year-end festive season, creating new reasons for audiences to return and experience different Malaysian creative worlds throughout the series.

“The Labs was built for people to experience culture in ways they cannot anywhere else. With the Artist Series, we are handing the space to some of Malaysia’s most exciting homegrown talents and inviting the public to make, play and celebrate alongside them right through the festive season.” said Azril Rashid, Chief Operating Officer of BBCC.

The Labs × M&M Creations Collaboration

The Artist Series reflects a shared ambition between The Labs and M&M Creations to provide Malaysian creative talent with a platform that goes beyond a conventional exhibition.
As the IP collaboration and commercialisation partner for the programme, M&M Creations works closely with The Labs and Immersify Kuala Lumpur to curate and coordinate the participating Malaysian IPs, integrate IP content into immersive experiences, support merchandise development, plan audience engagement and on-ground activations, and explore opportunities for the IPs to connect with wider commercial platforms.

Through this collaboration, original Malaysian IPs are brought beyond illustrations and digital content into physical spaces, immersive technology, merchandise, retail and real-world consumer experiences — creating more touchpoints for audiences to discover, experience and support Malaysian creativity.

Celebrating 40 years of heritage, craftsmanship and a commitment to quality.

FROM A SMALL TEA SHOP TO GLOBAL DISTINCTION

Ahmad Tea’s journey began with a small family tea shop in Southampton and has since become that of a globally respected British tea company. Despite its international presence, the brand remains family-owned and firmly rooted in its founding passion for tea.

Through discerning tea selection, masterful blending and an uncompromising commitment to quality, Ahmad Tea has developed an extensive portfolio encompassing classic British black teas, refined herbal infusions and contemporary tea varieties. This breadth reflects both the company’s heritage and the evolving tastes of tea drinkers around the world.

The Ruby Jubilee celebration in Malaysia brought Ahmad Tea’s remarkable journey to life through a 40-Year Heritage Wall, thoughtfully curated tea-tasting sessions and an elegant presentation of the brand’s extensive portfolio.

40 YEARS, A NEW CHAPTER

The 40th anniversary also marks an exciting new chapter for Ahmad Tea, with the launch of its Sencha and the appointment of Premier League footballer Antoine Semenyo as its Global Brand Ambassador.

The partnership forms part of Ahmad Tea’s global “Preparation Is Everything” campaign, which celebrates the importance of preparation, discipline and consistency in achieving excellence.

The campaign reflects a philosophy shared by both Ahmad Tea and Semenyo — that excellence is not achieved by chance, but through preparation and a commitment to getting the details right.

Samsung Elevates Every Gaming Experience with the Latest Odyssey OLED Gaming Monitors

Whether it is climbing the ranks in competitive multiplayer games, exploring vast open worlds or catching up with friends online after a long day, gaming has become a popular form of entertainment for Malaysians across all ages. As gaming experiences continue to evolve, players are increasingly looking for displays that can keep up with both the visual demands of modern titles and the speed required for competitive play.

Helping to power these experiences is Samsung, the world’s No. 1 OLED gaming monitor brand*, with its latest Odyssey OLED lineup. Featuring the Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SH) and Odyssey OLED G7 (G73SH), the new monitors are designed to deliver a compelling combination of immersive picture quality, responsive performance and gaming-focused innovations.
