23 yacht operators to take part in international boat show in Langkawi
The inaugural international event will take place at the Royal Langkawi Yacht Club.
Kedah's Tourism, Culture, and Entrepreneurship Committee chairman, Datuk Mohd Salleh Saidin, said Mybos'25 would add vibrancy to the ongoing Visit Kedah Year 2025.
"Mybos'25 will certainly complement the prestigious biennial Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition 2025 (Lima'25), as both events will run concurrently.
"This makes May a peak period for tourist arrivals in Langkawi," he said at a press conference after attending a Hari Raya Aidilfitri ceremony at the Langkawi District and Land Office compound last night.
For the record, Lima'25 will be held from May 20 to 24.
Salleh said Mybos'25 would feature a wide range of international marine products, including the latest maritime technologies and luxury yachts.
"This is not just a boat exhibition, it also serves as a business networking platform for industry players, investors and boat enthusiasts from around the world," he said.
The debut event is jointly organised by Mybos Event Sdn Bhd and Sail Malaysia, with support from the Langkawi Development Authority, the Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry, and the Transport Ministry.

‘Nandini Mana?!' traces Malaysia's cultural ties across the world
Nandini will cover three continents over the span of two months, with a daily budget of RM170. (SAYS pic) KUALA LUMPUR : Local media platform SAYS has launched 'Nandini Mana?!', a refreshing new travel and culture series that explores food, heritage and identity through the eyes of a Malaysian. Fronted by SAYS video lead Nandini Balakrishnan, the show traces cultural connections across Asia and Europe, revealing how Malaysia is more deeply intertwined with the world than we often realise. Over the span of two months, Nandini will cover three continents, with just two flights. The rest of her journey is done the old-school way: by land, rail and sea, all on a modest daily budget of RM170. Each stop comes with a self-imposed challenge: Eat only local food Learn five phrases in the local language Collect a matchbox as a keepsake The trailer has garnered over 262,000 views and nearly 500 comments on Instagram, reflecting a strong interest for relatable content rooted in shared experiences. 'I wanted to explore places that feel far from Malaysia but are actually deeply linked to us, through food, migration, language or shared history. Connections and threads exist everywhere, and I want to show it in a way that feels honest, raw and very Malaysian. Jom lawatan sambil belajar with me!' Nandini shared. In Episode 1, Nandini visits a Sri Lankan Malay-owned restaurant in Colombo, chats with the owner and enjoys a home-style meal that reminds her of Malaysia. The debut episode has racked up more than 211,000 views, setting a strong tone for the rest of the series. From Sri Lanka, she will travel by ferry to India, diving into Tamil Nadu's rich culture through stops in Trichy, Madurai, Pondicherry and Chennai. Her route then continues westward to Istanbul, before winding through Greece, North Macedonia, Albania, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and finally England, all told from a proudly Malaysian point of view.
