”Winning this award is definitely a great start to the year. With high expectations and standards in place, we strive to deliver our brand promises at all times,” said Dato’ Francis Ng.

The BrandLaureate SMEs BestBrands Award honours the brands that have played a pivotal role in the success of their brand names. This award is evaluated based on a selected criteria consisting of areas such as brand strategy, integrated brand communications, brand performance, brand equity and brand culture.

“It is truly inspiring to see how passionate Beverly Wilshire Medical Centre is in delivering its unprecedented professionalism based on service excellence and assurance. Nevertheless, I must say that all the participating companies have done a good job in raising the bar in line with this year’s theme “Your Brand Success, Capturing the Inspiring Moments”. It was indeed not an easy task to choose a winner; however, Beverly Wilshire Medical Centre had an edge over its competition and emerged as the winner for having achieved brand excellence in the medical field despite being in the industry for only two years,” said Dr KK Johan, President of BrandLaureate. “This award is a testament to the ingenuity, innovation and integrity,” he added.

ONE Fighting Championship™ (ONE FC), presented by Tune Talk, returns to Malaysia for another blockbuster event on 14 March 2014 at the iconic Stadium Negara. The main event will crown ONE FC’s first Welterweight World Champion when Nobutatsu Suzuki and Brock Larson clash inside the ONE FC cage. Two of the top Bantamweights in Asia, Kevin Belingon and Dae Hwan Kim, will meet in the co-main event while Adriano Moraes battles Yasuhiro Urushitani in Flyweight action.  ONE FC: WAR OF NATIONS will also see the heavily anticipated rematch of Asia’s top female mixed martial artists as Sherilyn Lim takes on Ann Osman. Malaysian MMA fans can also look forward to the return of Malaysian MMA star Peter Davis, who’s opponent will be announced at a later date.

Priority sales of tickets for ONE FC: WAR OF NATIONS, presented by Tune Talk, will begin from 13 January. Fans can enjoy 30% off tickets during priority sales which end on 1 February.  Pre-sale packages such as the “Ann Osman Fan Package”, which includes a limited edition T-shirt for only MYR78, are also available now. Log on to www.AirAsiaRedTix.com for further details. Tickets are priced at RM348 for the complete VIP experience that includes exclusive red carpet entrance, access to the VIP lounge and premium cage-side seating. The categories that follow are priced at RM248, RM148, RM98 and RM48 respectively. Booking fees and service charges apply.

CEO of ONE Fighting Championship™ Victor Cui stated, “Following the resounding success of ONE FC’s jam-packed events in Malaysia in 2013, we are returning to Kuala Lumpur with one of the best cards in the organization’s history. Fans around the world have been eagerly awaiting the next ONE FC World Championship title belt to be introduced, and now, the wait is over. The ONE FC Welterweight division is filled with the most talented mixed martial artists in the world and we will crown the best of the best when Nobutatsu Suzuki meets Brock Larson. Our passionate fans in Malaysia will be treated to a night of unforgettable mixed martial arts action!”

Fans in Asia can catch all the action live on STAR Sports. Check your local listings. Also, fans from around the world can witness the action online via live streaming at www.onefc.livesport.tv. The event will be available for purchase at just US$9.99.

Nobutatsu Suzuki is a fighter who has proven that he has knockout power. He has a record of nine knockouts out of ten wins, which gives him one of the highest percentages of stoppage wins via knockout in all of MMA. Suzuki is famous for being the first fighter in Asia to showcase the incredible striking power of Karate in an MMA context. The Kyokushin Karate black belt last fought at ONE FC: RISE TO POWER, defeating one of MMA’s most experienced combatants, Phil Baroni, by TKO. Suzuki will be looking to use that power to earn a ‘Knockout of the Night’ bonus and leave with the coveted ONE FC World Championship title belt.

Brock Larson is a highly experienced fighter who has more than 40 fights in several top organizations across the world. He made a successful ONE FC debut last year when he defeated feared Dutch kickboxer, Melvin Manhoef, via unanimous decision. He now gets an opportunity to cement his legacy when he faces another elite striker in Nobutatsu Suzuki. His 26 submission victories are testament to Larson’s grappling prowess, which he will likely utilize to propel him to victory and emerge as the first ever ONE FC Welterweight World Champion.

Kevin Belingon is the Philippines’ top Bantamweight and has already proven he can compete against the best in the world in his battles against Soo Chul Kim, Masakatsu Ueda, Yusup Saadulaev and David Aranda. He showcased his striking prowess by knocking out his opponent in devastating fashion in his last fight, and will look to do the same to his Korean opponent Dae Hwan Kim.

Dae Hwan Kim is undefeated in nine professional mixed martial arts bouts so far. He made a successful debut in Asia’s largest mixed martial arts organization last December, defeating Australian grappler Thanh Vu via submission. Kim is never afraid to brawl and consistently puts on Fight of the Night performances.  Belingon will be his toughest test to date and Kim will move one step closer to a title opportunity as well as maintain his undefeated record if he can overcome the Filipino.

The rematch between Sherilyn Lim and Ann Osman is one of the most heavily anticipated bouts of 2014. Lim won the first bout via split decision after three back-and-forth rounds which had the 12,000 fans in attendance at the Singapore Indoor Stadium jumping off their seats. Lim will once again be representing Singapore’s oldest mixed martial arts gym, Fight G. She has been part of Fight G since 2007, when she joined their Muay Thai program, and has been training under the tutelage of Singaporean MMA pioneer Darren De Silva. Sherilyn has quickly established herself as the best female mixed martial artist in Singapore and will showcase her talents again in March.

Ann Osman is Malaysia’s first female mixed martial artist and has captivated the nation with her infectious personality and indomitable fighting spirit. She trains out of Borneo Tribal Squad in the mountainous region of Kota Kinabalu in East Malaysia. Osman will enjoy the support of her countrymen this time after coming up short despite a valiant effort in Singapore. Her impressive takedowns and vicious ground-and-pound may prove to be the decisive factor in this Women’s Straweight bout.

The upcoming 2014 Formula 1 Petronas Malaysia Grand Prix™ promoted under the banner “Sepang Comes Alive” is already living up to its tagline as internationally acclaimed DJ Calvin Harris is set to perform as part of the after race concert on the 30th of March 2014 at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) Helipad.

The Scottish-born singer, songwriter, and producer, dubbed as the King of Electronic Dance Music was also recently announced as the 2013 Forbes’ Electronic Cash Kings List and currently holds the Guinness World Record for the most top ten hits from a single album in the UK, a record previously held by The King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson. The double-platinum-selling Harris sprang to prominence with his debut album I Created Disco in 2007 and has topped the charts around the world with two number one albums to date. With a string of number one singles, his most recent album 18 Months features chart toppers such as Feel So Close, his collaboration with Rihanna on We Found Love, and Let’s Go, which features Ne-Yo. He is set to enthrall fans with his brand of music that has captivated audiences around the world.

“Each year we try to elevate the excitement and entertainment value of the Malaysian Grand Prix and bringing Calvin Harris for the post-race concert is going to be a big hit with the local and international crowd as the perfect finale of our celebration,” said SIC’s CEO, Dato’ Razlan Razali.

“We are currently working with the relevant ministries to feature DJ Calvin Harris as this is his debut performance in Malaysia and exclusive to South East Asia for the Malaysian F1”, he added.

The After Race Concert is accessible to all grandstand and C2 hillstand tickets holders. What makes it more exciting, beginning January 1, SIC has announced 40% discount to all MyKad holders for the 2014 Formula 1 Petronas Malaysia Grand Prix™ tickets.

“Recognising the rising cost of living in Malaysia, people would have set different priorities in spending. Therefore, we have always tried to encourage Malaysians to come and enjoy their home race, thus being the home of Malaysian motorsports, we felt that it is important for us to provide such promotions to allow the locals to have a chance to experience and witness the world-class F1 race,” said Dato’ Razlan further.

Tickets are now on sale and can also be purchased at the KL Sentral ERL Departure Hall (in front of Coffee Bean) every day from 9.30am until 9.30pm. There will be other ticket sales points, which SIC will announce from time to time, as the race draws near. The promotion will end 31st January 2014.

Targeting 125,000 spectators, with 30% expected to be foreigners, the event is seen as the perfect platform to promote the Visit Malaysia Year (VMY) 2014. Fans will not just get to experience the event LIVE, but their ticket unleashes more than just the thrill of the race. With the return of ONE TICKET UNLIMITED (1TU), a loyalty programme introduced by SIC will serve as the perfect getaway pass for race fans to discover a myriad of activities, happenings and travel opportunities. Apart from being a passport for additional discounts at the 2014 Formula 1 Petronas Malaysia Grand Prix™, 1TU also provides ticket holders a host of other privileges, offering an exhilarating affair of shopping, partying, and world class racing action and traveling which further enhances the whole experience of VMY 2014.
