WIN GRAND PRIZE OF RM1 MILLION SHOPPING SPREE

Licence to Win: Iconic Airport Shopping Campaign Returns!

2 August 2024, SEPANG – The iconic Licence to Win (LTW) airport shopping campaign is making a thrilling comeback this year! Running from 1 July 2024 to 31 December 2024, this year’s edition promises unparalleled excitement and memorable rewards as it offers shoppers an extraordinary chance to win a prime reward of RM1 million in shopping vouchers, along with other amazing prizes.  The much awaited campaign kicked off with a spectacular launch held at Sentul Pavilion, a glasshouse nestled within a lush private park in Kuala Lumpur. The event featured appearances by local artists and influencers including Alif Satar, Scha Alyahya, Awal Ashaari, Daiyan Trisha, Nazreem Musa, Azfar Heri and more.

Guests, resplendent in their finest suits and dazzling dresses ala secret agents and femme fatale, stepped into a high-octane launch event that felt like a scene straight out of a blockbuster spy thriller. The target? A gleaming money vault representing the RM1 million grand prize. The adrenaline spiked as a covert operative was seen jumping off a helicopter and hastily entering the ballroom with a mission briefcase in hand, while the honoured VIP, acting as secret agent, authenticated the high-stakes operation. The Million Possible theme brilliantly merged the pulse-pounding excitement of a spy movie with sophisticated elegance, crafting an exclusive and stylish atmosphere that left everyone utterly spellbound.

In 2019, Malaysia Airports recorded a significant 27% increase in sales through its Licence To Win 2019 campaign, with sales receipts surpassing RM178 million. 25 year old Jason Goh drove away with a McLaren 570S Coupe, the grand prize winner of LTW 2019.

KUALA LUMPUR’S BEACON FOR CREATIVITY – GMBB, A CREATIVE COMMUNITY MALL – HAS OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED!

(L-R) Mr Amerrudin Ahmad, Director General of National Visual Arts Development Board, YB Dr. Zaliha Mustafa, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories), Ms Lim Ying Hui, General Manager of GMBB and En Ahmad Zul-Qarnain Ibrahim, Director of GMBB during the launch gimmick at GMBB launch event.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – 1 August, 2024 – In a vibrant celebration of culture, diversity, and Malaysian fellowship, GMBB, a Creative Community Mall – Kuala Lumpur’s fast growing creative hub – has officially opened its doors. This momentous event was officiated by Yang Berhormat Dr. Zaliha Mustafa, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) with a signing ceremony witnessed by Ahmad Zul-Qarnain Ibrahim, Director of GMBB, Lim Ying Hui, General Manager of GMBB and Amerrudin Ahmad, Director General of National Visual Arts Development Board at GMBB’s shared creative, events, and arts space, The Grey Box.

Originally envisioned as a fashion wholesale mall, GMBB’s transformation into a haven for creatives began when its founders recognised the need for a space in Malaysia’s rapidly evolving capital that empowered creativity in a new way. This shift was inspired by the founders’ admiration for successful art-centric spaces abroad, such as the 798 Art Zone in Beijing and PMQ in Hong Kong; and their keen observation of Malaysia’s need for physical spaces where local creatives, artists and artisans could thrive.

A Seed Dreams of a Forest

Just like a seedling planted in fertile soil, GMBB aims to cultivate local talent in a dynamic ecosystem where artists of all backgrounds, talents, and experiences can converge, collaborate, and further catalyse Malaysia’s creative and cultural economy. Despite initial challenges as newcomers to the arts realm, GMBB embarked on this journey with a bold vision five years ago.

Lim Ying Hui, General Manager of GMBB, reflects: “From the initial inspiration drawn from global creative hubs to the vibrant reality we have cultivated here at GMBB, it has been an incredible journey of adding to the Malaysian creative and cultural tapestry. Every day, I am privileged to witness the transformative power of empowered creativity and community first-hand. Together, we’re helping to grow Malaysia’s creative and cultural ecosystem where every creator’s voice resonates, enriching our cultural landscape, and forging meaningful connections that define our collective spirit.”

Today, GMBB stands as a vibrant hub, housing over one hundred diverse tenants spread across nine floors and approximately 110,000 square feet in nett lettable area. These tenants encompass a wide range of creative entrepreneurs, artists, craft artisans, food and beverage specialists, and more.

They include Five Arts Centre, a dynamic collective of Malaysian artists, activists and producers known for meaningful and experimental performances in theatre, dance, music; Fusion Wayang Kulit, a gallery led by an award-winning team dedicated to revitalising Malaysia’s traditional art of shadow puppetry through pop culture; Gangsapura, a contemporary Malay Gamelan centre for keeping the artistry of traditional music alive; Museum of Picture Book Art, where 80 percent of its curated showcase are of local picture books, and several independent studios run by artists on the spectrum.

There are also many one-of-kind galleries, bookshops, art studios and quaint eateries waiting to be discovered at GMBB. The organic and often changing installations and exhibitions also promise that every visit will almost always yield new encounters.

Addressing the management team’s current objectives, Lim acknowledges, “As we continue to grow, the vibrancy and variety of our tenants are crucial aspects that impact our ability to fulfil our vision of a thriving creative community. Our focus is on demonstrating the value GMBB brings to Malaysia’s tourism experience in the capital, and our local creative and cultural economy that is ever present for Malaysians and local residents.”

GMBB is a versatile space where communities, art and lifestyle enthusiasts, tourists, local and non-local visitors can come together and explore the bustling Malaysian creative and cultural scene.

GMBB welcomes the public to attend upcoming exciting events and activities:

  • 22 August – 16 September Kuala Lumpur Literature & Art Fair
  • 31 August Fatal Attractions: Photographer’s Talk and Exhibition Tour by Chien C. Lee

  • 22 November – 22 December Immersio 2024, a new media arts exhibition

Local Partnerships

Beyond these events, GMBB is actively collaborating with local institutions like the National Art Gallery by supporting artists participating in the National Art Gallery’s Young Arts Entrepreneurs and Young Contemporaries programmes. The development and promotion of Malaysian talents to the world is a key focus that will continue to grow in the coming years and GMBB intends to actively partake and contribute to this growth.

This underscores GMBB’s uniqueness as a place where creativity, style and culture converge through interchanging galleries and art installations, unique and artisanal retail, lively events, bazaars and festivities.

In addition to collaborating with UiTM College of Creative Arts in hosting final showcases across its various departments; GMBB also partners with the ASWARA Department of Fine Art for their annual final year showcases. The vibrant atmosphere at GMBB is further enhanced through partnerships with archiving collective Gerimis that co-produces content with Orang Asli, and Sarawak-based Borneo Laboratory and HAUS KCH. Last but not least, GMBB actively supports the Think City Creative KL initiative, sharing the ambition to transform Downtown Kuala Lumpur into a vibrant creative and cultural district.

“GMBB exemplifies how strategic partnerships between Government initiatives and private enterprises can enhance Kuala Lumpur’s cultural scene and boost tourism. It demonstrates the positive impact of fostering local creative talent and creating vibrant community spaces. GMBB serves as a practical model for similar initiatives aimed at enriching our city’s cultural landscape and attracting diverse audiences.” said Yang Berhormat Dr Zaliha Mustafa, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories).

Embodying its tagline ‘More Together’, GMBB emphasises on collaborations in nurturing a vibrant arts ecosystem. GMBB’s humble beginnings reflect a larger vision – to become a touchpoint for Malaysian creative and cultural arts, and cultivate a sustainable creative and cultural arts economy for the country. This aligns strategically with the Ministry of Tourism Arts and Culture’s (MOTAC) tourism and cultural aims — to support sustainable growth by fostering creativity, innovation, and cultural vitality that will ultimately contribute to the Malaysian creative and cultural economy.
