Earthquaker Bull Sculpture Receives ASEAN Records Recognition for Most Individually Assembled Stainless Steel Parts

ASEAN Records has officially recognised Earthquaker, a monumental mirror-finish stainless steel bull sculpture, as the First Mirror-Finish Stainless Steel Bull Sculpture with the Most Individually Assembled Parts. The sculpture comprises 2,969 meticulously crafted components — including 2,892 individually cut stainless steel pieces and 77 precision screws. Towering at 4.2 metres in length and 2.8 metres in height, and weighing 3.8 metric tons, this record-breaking masterpiece is a feat of engineering, artistry, and vision.

The certificate was presented to Datuk Hong Lay Chuan, Director of Macorp Sdn Bhd, owner of Menara Khuan Choo, during the unveiling ceremony at Menara Khuan Choo, with guests from the business, design, and cultural communities in attendance. Commissioned by LA Louie Holding, the sculpture is a defining statement of Malaysia’s creative and engineering prowess.

A Living Presence at Menara Khuan Choo

Proudly installed in the lobby of Menara Khuan Choo, Earthquaker transforms the space into an immersive experience that resonates with energy, movement, and cultural symbolism. Its polished mirror finish reflects both the surroundings and the people who encounter it — creating a dialogue between tradition, craft, and modern innovation.

“Glass radiates unexpected warmth through the memory of craft, and Earthquaker brings this same spirit into stainless steel — where precision meets imagination,”

A Ground Shaker of Perception

More than a sculpture, Earthquaker stands as a philosophical statement and cultural icon. It combines computational precision with human intuition, embodying Southeast Asia’s balance of heritage and future vision. By pushing the boundaries of design and execution, it demonstrates how art can spark emotion, reflection, and conversation on a monumental scale.

With this record, Earthquaker enters the ASEAN Records, cementing its place as both a technical marvel and a cultural landmark — a bold symbol of strength, resilience, and forward-looking creativity.

Bangi Resort Hotel Honoured with Two ASEAN Records for Leadership in Durian Tourism

Bangi Resort Hotel Honoured with Two ASEAN Records for Leadership in Durian Tourism

One of Malaysia’s most iconic institutions in agro-tourism and hospitality, Bangi Resort Hotel, has officially been recognized by ASEAN Records for its pioneering role in durian-based tourism and regional engagement. The resort received two prestigious record titles:

First Durian-Friendly Hotel & Resort Since 2018
First B2B Durian Festival Featuring Fresh Durian Since 2018

The recognition was presented during the 5th ASEAN Records Gather of Achievers at Tee Off Lounge, Bangi Golf Resort, and was witnessed by YB Tuan Syahredzan bin Johan, Member of Parliament for Bangi.

Championing Innovation Through Durian Hospitality

Since 2018, Bangi Resort Hotel has broken traditional barriers by being the first hotel in the ASEAN region to officially welcome durian consumption within its premises — an industry-defining move in a sector long governed by “no durian” policies.

By embracing the King of Fruits, the hotel has redefined luxury with a uniquely Malaysian twist — offering durian tastings and culinary experiences that blend comfort, culture, and cuisine. From leisure guests to business travellers, the resort provides immersive experiences that pay tribute to local flavours and traditions.

Further reinforcing its leadership, Bangi Resort Hotel also launched the first B2B durian-focused festival, bringing together traders, exporters, farmers, and agricultural professionals. This bold initiative created a dedicated business networking platform for durian stakeholders, reinforcing durian’s position not just as a delicacy, but as a driver of economic and agro-tourism value.

“You are not just recipients of a certificate. You are role models. You are proof that passion, persistence, and purpose can lead to remarkable accomplishments,”
— YB Tuan Syahredzan bin Johan, MP for Bangi

A Message from Bangi Resort Hotel

“This recognition is a proud moment for us and a validation of our bold vision. When we first embraced durian hospitality in 2018, it was a leap of faith — but we believed in the potential of cultural tourism and the uniqueness of Malaysia’s local identity. Today, we’re honoured to see that belief recognized across ASEAN.”
— Chung Ky Soh, Executive Director, Bangi Resort Hotel

ASEAN Records applauds Bangi Resort Hotel for championing innovation in agro-tourism and setting a new benchmark for hospitality in Southeast Asia.
