Since its launch in 2019, the team behind Kwai Chai Hong, a restoration project of heritage 10 shophouses and a laneway hidden in between Lorong Panggung and Jalan Petaling in Kuala Lumpur, has consistently introduced exciting art installations and activities to transform the space. The story continues with its first installation of 2021 as it presents a new permanent art sculpture by Alice Chang of Lai Lai Art Studio and traditional fabric-dye installation in an effort to celebrate Chinese culture and heritage. - Alice Chang (Lai Lai Art Studio) with her sculpture called The Lady made from porcelain pieces.Drawing from a central theme of “Everlasting Beauty”, this installation pays tribute to the classic Wan Shou Wu Jiang (万寿无疆) porcelain design which is often found in the homes of Chinese families, and is also infused with inspiration from the popular Chinese floral design, Bao Xiang Hua (寳相花). Together with Alice, Kwai Chai Hong presents a masterpiece sculpture made from hundreds of porcelain pieces created as an expression of turning waste to adoration, giving it a new lease of life. The idea came about when Alice saw how a beautiful porcelain plate that has served hundreds of memorable dinners was disposed-off instantly the moment it was chipped. Chinese superstition believes that a chipped plate is an omen of misfortune. “There is so much memory behind these plates that it breaks my heart to see them thrown away. Now I can give it a new purpose; an art-piece that people can appreciate for a long time,” Alice said. Thus, the creation of “The Lady” (小姐) sculpture now sits gracefully to greet visitors as they enter Kwai Chai Hong. This concept is further channeled through the installation of a setup mimicking a traditional fabric-dye factory with colourful textile hanging over bamboo stilts to dry. With the help of technology and in collaboration with Epson Malaysia, the traditional fabric-dye installation represents how old and dying crafts are innovated and transformed into various forms, including art.  Zeen Chang, managing partner of Bai Chuan Management, said: “At the core, Kwai Chai Hong serves as more than just an attraction spot. We challenge ourselves to recreate the wonders of Chinese culture and heritage and in that process, we strive to bring the best experiences to our visitors near and far. This year, we are proud to be working with Epson Malaysia to bring our vision into reality. At Kwai Chai Hong, we have always incorporated the power of technology and innovation to enhance one's experience bringing people back in time.” From Moonlight in the City, to the mythical flying dragon installation, to the glorious rabbits at Hops and Dreams, every initiative to bring footfall into the area has had some element of technology and innovation. “By collaborating with local artists, we were able to work hand-in-hand to create an experience that is uniquely Kwai Chai Hong and we wish to continue this journey and help others to discover the gems of this beautiful and rich culture,” Zeen adds. - KCH Partners, Epson, Artist (L-R) Javier Chor, Ho Yong Wee, Chua Li Tinn (Epson Malaysia), Coco Lew, Zeen Chang, Terrence Liew, Allice Chang (Lai Lai Art Studio)-Kwai Chai Hong Partners (Back) L_R Ho Yong Wee, Coco Lew, Terrence Liew (Front) L-R Javier Chor, Zeen ChangDickson Lee, senior manager, commercial & industrial department, Epson Malaysia, said: “We are delighted to work with Bai Chuan Management again to bring vibrant traditions to life with printing technology. Using the Epson SureColor SC-F9430 dye-sublimation digital textile printer, we have printed over 200 metres of fabric for this installation while ensuring the design details and colours are well presented. We hope the visitors to Kwai Chai Hong will love the installation as much as we have enjoyed bringing the concept of traditional fabric-dye factory to life with our printer.”- KCH Ang Pao design Inspired by Bao Xiang Hua Floral Design in traditional Wan Shou Wu Jiang Porcelain- Night Shot at KCH by @javierchor - Credit Photographer IG @HeartpatrickKwai Chai Hong will be open to the public daily from 9am to 12 midnight, with strict SOPs observed within the vicinity.

Malaysia’s Cultural Economy Development Agency (CENDANA) collaborates with Grab’s #LiveKatRumah initiative to support local entertainers impacted by the pandemic, with 70% having lost all or most of their income.  #LiveKatRumah shows to follow SOPs for the creative industry to provide a safe platform for local entertainers to continue earning. #LiveKatRumah returns with final four shows featuring live performances from various music genres, comedians and magicians such as The MADgicians, Elvira Arul, Kuah Jenhan, and more, from 17 till 25 March. As part of a unified effort to support the creative arts and music industry, Malaysia’s Cultural Economy Development Agency (CENDANA), has announced its participation in Grab’s #LiveKatRumah initiative to provide earning opportunities for artists and cultural workers. Due to movement restrictions, many physical art and music events and engagements were canceled which impacted them. In a further effort to help local artists who have been affected by the pandemic, CENDANA’s partnership will contribute directly to the remuneration of the artists and crew membersAfter a short hiatus in compliance with the Movement Control Order, the #LiveKatRumah free virtual shows are now back to provide Malaysians with a platform to enjoy the amazing talent from local entertainers while supporting them. Prior to the Movement Control Order this year, the shows garnered almost 15,000 viewers nationwide. And to ensure the health and safety of everyone involved in the production of the upcoming shows, the team is following the SOPs released for the creative industry which includes getting all crew members and performers tested for COVID-19.Streamed live on the Grab Malaysia Facebook page HERE.  #LiveKatRumah, which is supported by KFC Malaysia, myNEWS and Tropicana, is a twice-a-week virtual concert series Malaysians can enjoy from anywhere across the country for FREE, which showcases some of Malaysia’s talented performers ranging from R&B, Pop, Soul, Hip Hop, Jazz, and Rock singers and bands, to even comedians and magicians. This is to enable Malaysians to enjoy the variety of performances they wouldn’t normally have the chance to and appreciate the amazing talents overflowing in Malaysia, all from the comforts of their homes. Recent report showed that 93% of  Malaysian artists and cultural workers had been negatively impacted by COVID-19, with 70%  having lost all or most of their income. Threatened with devastation by the effects of the pandemic, we strive to help protect jobs and create opportunities for many part-time and freelance workers in the arts and culture sector via the Budget 2021 allocation for the arts. The arts have helped many Malaysians wellbeing through this isolation and are essential in our daily lives. Therefore, we welcome, and are grateful for this collaboration with Grab on #LiveKatRumah; that will also see CENDANA’s beneficiaries like Crinkle Cut, Tay Cher Siang of the WVC Malaysian Jazz Ensemble, Alien Lien Lipstick Fire and Clinton Jerome Chia perform,” said Izan Satrina Mohd Sallehuddin, Founding CEO, CENDANA.Sharing the inspiration behind the #LiveKatRumah initiative, Hassan Alsagoff, Country Marketing Head, Grab Malaysia said “We came up with #LiveKatRumah after being moved by the struggles of friends in the performing arts industry during the MCO and we’re encouraged by the feedback we’ve received so far. As a Malaysian homegrown platform, we welcome CENDANA’s support in joining our efforts to deliver quality live music and performances from our local entertainers straight into the homes of Malaysians during this challenging time, while also lending a helping hand in providing earning opportunities for these entertainers.”In this challenging time, we believe that everyone in Malaysia has a part to play, to support one another regardless of background, affiliation or industry. Hence Malaysians are encouraged to contribute to the Tabung #LiveKatRumah via GrabPay, where all proceeds will go directly to the Headliners and production crew members. There are no donation limits, however, donations of RM5 and above will receive a KFC or myNEWS voucher.With headliners such as The Frankie Sixes, Rainbow Children, Dasha Logan, Nadir and more, there will definitely be something for everyone! Look out for a special appearance from WVC Malaysian Jazz Ensemble in support of the initiative. Here are what some of them had to say on the initiative:  Elvira Arul:“The pandemic has hit other artists and I in ways that we have never experienced before and some rice bowls were hit harder than others. I am so grateful to Grab for bringing our shows directly to you via #LiveKatRumah from the comfort of your homes.” The Frankie Sixes:“For live performers like us, COVID-19 has made life hard for us especially to our growth and income so we are really thankful to Grab for their #LiveKatRumah initiative where all the proceeds go to the performers, headliners and crew. We are excited to perform for you together with all the musicians and performers from the comfort of your home to keep the live scene going.”  For more information on the #LiveKatRumah performance lineup and promotions from KFC Malaysia on GrabFood and myNEWS on GrabMart, please click HERE .

Part of what makes Grab, is the diversity and inclusion of different women from all walks of life and backgrounds. To celebrate International Women’s Day, we want to bring to the forefront the stories that drive change and the women who help us address essential needs and provide safe, seamless and amazing experiences to our community.   These women are our partners, strategists, safety experts and customer care experts that our users rely on and who support the operational needs of our community. Kimberly Xavier - Regional Head of Safety & QualityI lead a team across 8 countries in the region where we design features, best practices and processes to elevate safety across the Grab platform. It has been an incredible and humbling journey so far, where I am required to confront realities on how safety related incidents truly affect people around you which can be truly heartbreaking. I #ChooseToChallenge myself by overcoming adversity, face your inner fears and self-doubt by pushing myself to do things that may seem difficult and uncomfortable. It is precisely these challenges that's allowed me to grow myself professionally and discover how resilient I really am. Wong Ee Xin - Head of Strategy & Projects, Malaysia I lead the Strategy & Projects team in Grab Malaysia, where we collaborate to explore new ideas, which are driven by data and insights, to introduce new products or features that help the community we serve. For example, ‘Project Pikul Bersama’ to help our driver-partners overcome the e-hailing regulatory hurdle and GrabSupermarket, the delivery-only supermarket to serve the growing demand of online grocery shoppers. I #ChooseToChallenge the norm, the default ways of thinking and the old ways of doing things so that we grow as individuals and as a community. Che Laili Binti Mat Hussain, Delivery-partner from MelakaI joined Grab to not only earn additional income for my family but also to help others who could not go out to get their food during the MCO.  As a 54-year-old, I had to find ways to earn supplemental income in addition to my husband's pension, as we needed to take care of my mother who needs medical assistance while  caring for  my school going kids. Working in a predominantly male field has taught me to be patient, given me strength and the understanding that  all of us are capable to work in any field no matter whether you are a male or female. I #ChooseToChallenge and be positive - go ahead if you desire to do something new. So challenge yourself in everything you do and stay strong.Priyanka Madan - Head of Grab Financial Malaysia I lead an energized team, responsible to educate, strategise and execute initiatives for our financial products on the Grab platform. It truly is a great opportunity for us to plan for ways to support the underserved communities and address the gap in the financial industry.I #ChooseToChallenge my own insecurities each day and choose to fight the limits that I have probably set for myself, and instead be creative enough to find solutions to help me overcome those. I celebrate every small and big win of mine.Tang Ya Mei, Delivery-partner from JohorAs a person who is deaf, it has been a struggle for me and I faced loads of disappointments. I am a full time delivery-partner and nothing brings greater excitement than fulfilling a lot of orders. It is difficult for me comparatively, but that does not stop me from working hard. I value the freedom that comes with this where it focuses on my ability and not disability. I #ChooseToChallenge other women to work based on their ability and do not have any doubt if you want to join the field of delivery-partnersSiti Zubaidah Binti Hassan, Merchant-partners from SelayangI joined the platform during the initial MCO, as I was struggling to keep my business afloat. I was unable to deliver my frozen items directly to my consumers because of restricted movements and roadblocks. Getting onto the Grab platform has helped me solve the issue of delivery, increase my customer base and most importantly helped me stay afloat. I #ChooseToChallenge women to just do it - if you want it, go for it and make it all yours!  I have learned that anything is possible as long as you are brave  to run your own business and face any challenges head on.Ting Ee, Driver-partner from BintuluMy passion is driving and I enjoy the freedom as well as the flexibility that comes with what I do. With 2 young children it allows me to manage my time accordingly and has provided me with the opportunity to earn income after I had to shut down my business due to the pandemic. As part of a minority of women driver-partners in East Malaysia I share my story and encourage others in my community to strive to do better. I #ChooseToChallenge women to have strength to try new things - share your story as well as experience to encourage other women or men to do the same.Naomi Say - Head of Platform Safety, MalaysiaThe pandemic has forced all of us out of our comfort zone. As I continuously look for ways to ensure the safety on the platform, my team and I have found new ways to adapt to the new norm, still pushing through all our processes and initiatives, every small win is big for us. As my job is  ensuring that the Grab platform is safe for all partners and our community of users, every single thing that we do, no matter how small it is, is  monumental because it can impact  someone’s life. I #ChooseToChallenge myself to be braver by conquering my fears and weakness, one day at a time. When you start with yourself, you inspire people around you.Gunasundari Purasamy, Driver-partner from PenangAs a single parent, I turned to Grab to earn an income so I could support my 2 kids. My husband died when I was pregnant with my 2nd child and it has been challenging dealing with all the responsibilities  as a single mother. There have been criticisms from family and friends that women should and are not supposed to be e-hailing drivers, but I ignore their comments and continue to drive.  I am just grateful that, even though with the impact of the pandemic, I am still able to support my family with my income and it is safe. I #ChooseToChallenge that we make everyday a better day for everyone regardless who they are and where they come from.Maslina Rahman - Head of Customer Experience, MalaysiaI lead a strong team that supports our partners and users of our platform through different support channels such as Voice Call, Email, Chat and Automations. A journey that the team and I strive to provide information, solutions and manage expectations of our partners and consumers. I  #ChooseToChallenge by stepping out of my comfort zone as there are no barriers for women to excel, so that I could be a role model for my young children and women with similar family commitments. Grab supports the millions of women in Southeast Asia to strive for their dreams and create impact in their communities.#IWD2021#ChooseToChallenge#GrabIWD2021 #WomenAtGrab
