The ASEAN Records Gala Night 2025, held at the Andaman Ballroom, Kuala Lumpur, was graced by the esteemed presence of Tun Seri Setia Dr. Haji Mohd Ali bin Mohd Rustam, Yang di-Pertua Negeri Melaka, who attended the celebration as the Guest of Honour, in recognition of regional unity and verified excellence.

During the evening, Tun Seri Setia Dr. Haji Mohd Ali bin Mohd Rustam was officially recognised by ASEAN Records for: First and Only Sitting State Governor in ASEAN to Receive a National Sports Leadership Award (Anugerah Tokoh Sukan Negara, presented by His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on 13 May 2024)

This recognition highlights his contributions to public service, youth and sports development, and his unique role in championing national unity through sports.

Asia Records Officially Launched — Officiated by Tun Seri Setia Dr. Haji Mohd Ali bin Mohd Rustam

In addition to receiving his ASEAN Records recognition, Tun Seri Setia Dr. Haji Mohd Ali bin Mohd Rustam officiated the official launch of Asia Records, a new continental-scale platform dedicated to recognising Asia’s most outstanding achievements in innovation, enterprise, culture, and global impact.

While Asia Records and ASEAN Records operate as independent entities, they share a common purpose — to document measurable, verifiable, and inspiring accomplishments that define the spirit of regional and continental excellence.

Tun Ali Rustam’s presence signified a strong endorsement of continental collaboration and a shared vision for elevating Asia’s profile on the global stage.

A Night of Inspiration and Regional Pride

The launch ceremony was witnessed by over 550 guests, including regional record holders, ministry representatives, corporate leaders, and media. As Tun Seri Setia Dr. Haji Mohd Ali bin Mohd Rustam took the stage, the hall responded with a standing ovation — a testament to the respect he commands throughout Southeast Asia.

As the Governor of Melaka, his leadership has made significant contributions to sports, tourism, heritage preservation, and youth empowerment — all of which continue to shape Melaka’s role as a progressive and inclusive state.

With Deepest Appreciation

We extend our sincere gratitude to Tun Seri Setia Dr. Haji Mohd Ali bin Mohd Rustam for honouring the event with his presence and for officiating the historic launch of Asia Records. His enduring leadership continues to inspire excellence, unity, and vision — across both ASEAN and the broader Asian continent.

Social Media Influencer CCY (Chin ChianYao) Recognised by ASEAN REcords for Most Multiracial Participation in a Rangoli Artwork Symbolising Cultural Unity

October 14, 2025October 14, 2025 admin Art & Entertainment, Human Achievement, News

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

The achievement underscores the power of creative leadership in promoting ASEAN’s shared values of diversity, inclusivity, and community spirit.

Through CCY’s leadership, the Rangoli project stands as a landmark example of how art and cultural celebration can bridge communities and inspire harmony — one colour at a time.
