ASEAN Records hosted the 8th ASEAN Records Gather of Achievers – Chinese New Year Celebration 2026 in Kuala Lumpur, bringing together more than 100 record holders, entrepreneurs, innovators and industry leaders for an evening of recognition, networking and festive celebration.

The ceremony was officiated by YB Datuk Chan Foong Hin, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food Security Malaysia, who attended as the Guest of Honour.

Celebrating the ASEAN Records Achievers Community

The Gather of Achievers initiative reflects the vision of ASEAN Records to be more than just a record-keeping organisation, but also a platform that connects achievers and fosters a strong community among record holders.

Since its launch in November 2024, the initiative has successfully organised seven Gather of Achievers events within its first year, bringing together both newly recognised record holders and past achievers to share their journeys, build collaborations and celebrate milestones.

These gatherings continue to strengthen the ASEAN Records ecosystem by encouraging knowledge exchange, partnership opportunities and inspiration among innovators from across industries.

The evening was graced by the presence of YB Datuk Chan Foong Hin, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food Security Malaysia.

His arrival was welcomed with an auspicious Lion Dance march-in, symbolising prosperity and good fortune for the year ahead.

ASEAN Records successfully hosted its 7th Gather of Achievers at Pavilion Bukit Jalil, which also marked the 1st ASIA Records Gather of Achievers, commemorating a significant milestone as the platform celebrated its 1st Anniversary and its expansion from a regional to a continental recognition framework.

The event brought together record holders, partners, industry leaders, and members of the public in a vibrant, open setting — reinforcing ASEAN Records’ belief that achievements should not only be documented, but also shared, celebrated, and experienced by the wider community.

Held with the support of ASEAN Malaysia 2025 and Visit Malaysia 2026, the Gather of Achievers highlighted how record achievements can play a meaningful role in Malaysia’s cultural, tourism, and national storytelling efforts.

Building an Achievers Community Beyond Recognition

Since its inception, ASEAN Records has positioned itself as more than a certification platform. Each Gather of Achievers is designed as a recurring community touchpoint where record holders are encouraged to:

Connect across industries
Exchange experiences and insights
Foster collaboration beyond individual recognition

Within its first year alone, ASEAN Records convened seven Gather of Achievers, reflecting strong regional demand for a trusted platform that balances credibility, measurability, and community-building.

The 7th Gather of Achievers symbolised a year of momentum, growth, and increasing public engagement, while also marking the transition toward broader continental recognition through ASIA Records.

Held with the support of ASEAN Malaysia 2025 and Visit Malaysia 2026, the event reinforced how achievements can be integrated into tourism narratives and cultural storytelling.

One of the evening’s highlights was the public appearance of Wira and Manja, the official Visit Malaysia 2026 mascots, symbolising Malaysia’s tourism identity and creative spirit.

Closing 2025 with Purpose and Progress
