The Power of Chiwawa Asia’s E-Commerce Ecosystem
As the driving force behind Dessini’s growth, Chiwawa Asia has built one of Malaysia’s most successful e-commerce ecosystems — connecting manufacturers, retailers, and consumers through a fully integrated digital and physical retail network.
By combining online platforms such as Shopee, TikTok Shop, and Lazada with strong offline partnerships and nationwide retail activations, Chiwawa Asia ensures that Dessini’s products are accessible to every corner of Malaysia.
“We listen to what Malaysian families need — practical, durable, and affordable cookware — and we deliver products that meet those needs without compromise.” “This recognition represents the hard work of our team and the loyalty of our customers,” said Miki Yap from Chiwawa Asia.

ASIA Records Sdn Bhd, the operator of the region’s premier record verification and adjudication platform, today reaffirmed its position as ASIA’s legitimate custodian of record-breaking achievements, reinforcing its commitment to integrity, transparency, and factual documentation across the continent.
With its digital home anchored at www.asiarecords.com — officially registered and continuously maintained since 2013 — the organization continues to serve as the definitive benchmark for technical adjudication, quantitative evaluation, and historical record verification in Asia.
A Legacy of Legitimacy and Leadership
Founded by Mr Eldrick Koh andMs Gillian Ooi, the visionary duo behind the widely recognized Youth Achievement Records, ASEAN Records, and ASIA Records builds upon more than a decade of institutional expertise to authenticate measurable feats of excellence — from human achievements and cultural milestones to industrial and scientific breakthroughs.
“In an era where recognition is often diluted by marketing, it’s vital to protect the authenticity of what a record truly means,” said Founder of ASIA Records. “ASIA Records is not an awards body — we are a technical authority that verifies quantifiable facts through standardized evidence and adjudication.”
Defining the Gold Standard: Records vs. Awards
As part of its 2025 Integrity & Education Roadmap, Asia Records is launching a regional awareness campaign to educate the public, corporations, and government bodies on the critical distinction between Records and Awards:
Record Breaking — A measurable, verifiable, and quantifiable feat (based on time, distance, volume, or quantity), requiring on-site adjudication, third-party documentation, and technical evidence.
Industry Awards — Subjective recognitions based on opinions, votes, or nominations that reflect appreciation but not technical measurement.
“ASIA Records upholds factual truth, not popularity metrics,” added Founder of ASIA Records. “Each certification is the result of documented proof and scientific scrutiny — not mere endorsement. A record certified by Asia Records carries the weight of verifiable truth.”
Digital Sovereignty and Continental Trust
While numerous imitators have emerged in the digital space, ASIA Records remains the sole official record authority with historical and legal digital continuity. Its flagship domain, www.asiarecords.com, has served as the primary online repository for Asian achievements for over 12 years, representing the region’s collective legacy of excellence.
The organization continues to expand its verification framework to accommodate AI-based analysis, cross-border validation, and blockchain-integrated data storage, ensuring every certified record is digitally traceable and permanently preserved.

ASEAN Records proudly recognises Chin ChianYao (CCY), renowned Malaysian social media influencer, for achieving the remarkable title: “Most Multiracial Participation in a Rangoli Artwork Symbolising Cultural Unity, Led by a Social Media Influencer.”
The official ASEAN Records certificate presentation took place on 11th October 2025 at 3:00 PM at MyTown Shopping Centre, Kuala Lumpur. This record celebrates a profound act of collaboration, creativity, and harmony — reflecting Malaysia’s vibrant multicultural spirit through the timeless and symbolic art of Rangoli, traditionally associated with Deepavali, the Festival of Lights.
A Celebration of Diversity, Harmony, and Light
Coinciding with the upcoming Deepavali celebrations on 20th October 2025, this achievement beautifully embodies the festival’s essence — the triumph of light over darkness and the unity of communities through colour, joy, and shared humanity.
The record-breaking initiative brought together participants from eight ethnic groups — Malay, Chinese, Indian, Kadazan Dusun, Iban, Russian, Eurasian, and Kenyah — all joining hands to create a breathtaking Rangoli masterpiece symbolising cultural harmony and friendship across Malaysia and ASEAN.
Guided by CCY’s leadership and artistic vision, the collaborative effort reflected the spirit of inclusivity, peace, and mutual respect. The intricate patterns and vivid colours expressed prosperity and unity — echoing the luminous message of Deepavali.
A Monumental Artwork of Colour and Collaboration
The large-scale Rangoli installation used over 1,400 kilograms of coloured rice in 16 distinct shades, resulting in two awe-inspiring masterpieces:
Artwork 1: 3.6m × 12m (43.2m²)
Artwork 2: 6m × 8m (48m²)
Total Area: 91.2m²
The creation began at 9:00 PM and was completed by 8:00 AM, spanning a total of 11 hours of artistic dedication and teamwork:
Artwork 1: 10:00 PM – 2:00 AM (4 hours)
Artwork 2: 3:45 AM – 7:00 AM (3 hours 15 minutes)
A total of 186 participants (Malay, Chinese, Indian, Kadazan Dusun, Iban, Russian, Eurasian, and Kenyah.) worked overnight to bring the artwork to life — a magnificent expression of Malaysia’s unity in diversity.
An Inspiring Milestone in ASEAN Cultural Collaboration
This recognition not only celebrates Malaysia’s multicultural heritage but also sets a meaningful benchmark for artistic and cultural collaboration across ASEAN.
Materials Used: 1,400 kg of coloured rice, 16 colours
Completed At: 8:00 AM

ES Premium Holdings, Malaysia’s leading distributor of luxury vehicles, has been officially recognised by ASEAN Records for achieving an extraordinary milestone in automotive prestige: Highest-Valued Car Number Plate on a Test-Drive Vehicle (Valued at RM488,000)
The prestigious ASEAN Records title was presented to Dato’ Fanny Yap, Director of ES Premium Holdings, during a recognition ceremony held at the Omoda Jaecoo 4S Flagship Centre in Glenmarie. The event gathered customers, industry partners, and automotive enthusiasts to celebrate a defining achievement in Malaysia’s evolving luxury car landscape.
Redefining the Luxury Test-Drive Experience
This remarkable recognition underscores ES Premium’s unwavering commitment to elevating the premium car ownership journey — beginning from the very first drive.
By assigning Malaysia’s most valuable number plate to a test-drive vehicle, ES Premium has reimagined what exclusivity means, turning a routine experience into an encounter with pure prestige.
The M2M number plate, displayed on a flagship Omoda Jaecoo model, brings the total valuation of the test-drive experience to over RM600,000(Approx. USD140,000)— making it the most luxurious test-drive experience in ASEAN to date.
The Meaning Behind the “MM” Plate
The “MM” registration is part of the special “M_M” series introduced by JPJ (Malaysian Road Transport Department) to commemorate Malaysia Merdeka (National Day) in 2023.
Initially released as a patriotic series symbolising national unity and pride, the M_M plates quickly became some of the most sought-after vehicle registrations in the country. Following overwhelming demand, JPJ later released the remaining numbers via the MySikap portal for the public to acquire — a move that collectively generated over RM 20 million in bids nationwide.
Today, the MM series represents more than just a number plate; it has become a symbol of national heritage and modern prestige, linking Malaysian pride with automotive distinction.
A Symbol of Pride and Innovation
During the ceremony, Adric Wong, Dealer Principal of ES Premium Holdings, shared his appreciation:
“Being recognised by ASEAN Records for having the highest-valued number plate on a test-drive vehicle is a proud moment for our entire team. This milestone goes beyond numbers — it reflects our vision to elevate every customer touchpoint and redefine the meaning of premium service. We’re deeply grateful for the trust and support we’ve received over the years.”

HONOR Technology (Malaysia) has been officially recognised by ASEAN Records for achieving a dominant market milestone in the mobile technology space: “Top-Selling Mid-Range Smartphone Series”(HONOR X9a, HONOR X9b, HONOR X9c — with 56% Market Share in Malaysia, as of September 2025)
ASEAN Records recognises the HONOR X9 Series as the most commercially successful mid-range smartphone lineup in the Malaysian market, affirming HONOR’s deep understanding of consumer needs, cutting-edge design innovation, and market-driven strategy.
The official ASEAN Records certificate was received by Tan Pei Ling, Head of Channel Sales at HONOR Malaysia, and Victor Yu, Marketing Director of HONOR Malaysia.
Market Leadership in the Mid-Range Segment
The HONOR X9 series — comprising the X9a, X9b, and the newly launched X9c — has collectively secured an impressive 56% share of Malaysia’s mid-range smartphone market, according to the latest sales data as of September 2025. This places HONOR well ahead of its competitors in a highly competitive segment.
Designed for performance, durability, and visual excellence, the X9 series stands out with its hallmark features:
Ultra-tough Curved AMOLED displays
Large-capacity batteries and fast-charging capabilities
Elegant design fused with powerful processors
Excellent camera performance for lifestyle users
These smartphones have become the go-to choice for Malaysians seeking premium experiences at accessible prices — reinforcing HONOR’s commitment to technology for all.
Why the HONOR X9 Series Stands Out
Each release in the X9 series has pushed boundaries in smartphone engineering and durability:
HONOR X9a: Featured the world’s first ultra-tough curved AMOLED screen in its category.
HONOR X9b: Introduced full-angle drop resistance and enhanced build quality.
HONOR X9c: Advanced scratch, shock, and water resistance technology.
HONOR X9d: Equipped with a “bulletproof” internal structure and IP69K water resistance, offering top-tier protection for everyday use.
These models deliver cinematic displays, all-day battery life, and flagship design — at mid-range prices, making them a top pick for users who value both style and substance.
A Local Milestone With Regional Significance
HONOR’s achievement reflects more than just sales — it signals a shift in regional consumer preference towards value-driven innovation. The X9 series has resonated especially well with the Malaysian mid-range market, known for its discerning, digitally connected consumers.
Receiving the ASEAN Records recognition is a proud milestone for HONOR Malaysia — placing the brand among ASEAN’s most impactful mobile technology leaders.
“The success of the X9 series belongs to every customer who believed in us, this is not only a recognition of our team’s hard work, but a celebration of the strong connection we’ve built with Malaysian consumers.” said Tan Pei Ling, Head of Channel Sales at HONOR Malaysia

Malay Kompang Drums
Oriental Drums
Indian Traditional Drums
Golden Drums, Red Drums, African Drums, Japanese Taiko Drums
Wellness Drums, Hand Drums, Family Drums

In his official address, Penang Chief Minister YAB Chow Kon Yeow expressed pride in Penang hosting this ASEAN-scale achievement:
“This is more than just a record. It is a profound reflection of Penang’s cultural inclusiveness and Malaysia’s ability to lead in meaningful, multicultural celebrations. I congratulate the organisers and all 10,000 participants who made this historic moment possible.”
About the Chinese Drum Scores by Bai Shiyin
A central element of the event was the performance of Chinese Drums using custom-created drum scores developed by Bai Shiyin — a globally respected scientist, moral educator, and innovator in Eastern life sciences.
Recognised as the first permanent ambassador of the Malaysian Technology Inventors Association and one of the Top Ten Role Models among Global Chinese, Bai Shiyin shared her vision during the event’s press conference:
“Drumming should not be a performance reserved for the few, but a joyful, healing, and empowering experience that belongs to everyone.”
Her Chinese Drum Scores are simple, inclusive, and accessible — designed to be learned by anyone regardless of age, ability, or background. More than just a music method, the scores aim to:
Reduce time spent on video games among youth
Spread joy and energy, especially to the elderly
Promote mental wellness, helping individuals overcome anxiety and fear post-pandemic
Encourage participation from children with special needs
Cultivate teamwork, discipline, and character education through the World Harmony Drum initiative
The Impact of Rhythm: Drumming With Purpose
Teachers and community leaders who have adopted Bai Shiyin’s method have reported transformative outcomes:
Improved student discipline
Peaceful conflict resolution in schools
Stronger focus, creativity, and collaboration among children
Greater sense of inclusion and belonging across communities
Through this 11,520-strong performance, the organisers demonstrated how music and rhythm can be powerful tools for cultural diplomacy, emotional healing, and social progress.
A Cultural Milestone for the ASEAN Region
The success of this record-breaking event lies not just in numbers, but in the deeply human values it represents: unity in diversity, cultural pride, and the universal language of music.
By bridging Malay, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, African, and other percussion traditions, the event sent a powerful message of harmony, resilience, and hope — especially important in the post-pandemic era.
The 11,520-drummer performance is not just a world-class spectacle. It is a living symbol of what can be achieved when art, purpose, and people come together.
