Kenny G dazzles Sabah in long-awaited debut
Kenny G performing at SICC. KOTA KINABALU (July 12): Fans packed a ballroom of the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC) to watch world-renowned saxophonist Kenny G perform there for the first time yesterday. Over 3,500 fans from Sabah, as well as neighbouring Sarawak and Brunei flocked to the venue where Kenny performed as part of his 'Timeless Legacy' World Tour. A fan who worked in Kuching, Sarawak, said she took two days off to ensure she wouldn't miss the show, which she described as a 'once in a lifetime event'. She added that she deliberately bought tickets for the front row for herself and her parents, although it is costlier. 'And why now? I am a big fan of Kenny G and this chance may not past my way again,' she added. The Grammy Award-winning artist, who is 69 this year, made a memorable entrance by walking through the aisles while performing his opening piece, 'Loving You,' on the saxophone, personally greeting fans as he made his way to the stage. The intimate, heartfelt gesture immediately established a warm and personal atmosphere, drawing the audience into a night defined by musical brilliance, sincerity and emotional resonance. Backed by his exceptional band, Kenny delivered a masterful setlist of hits like 'Songbird,' 'Forever in Love,' and 'The Moment,' along with a moving rendition of 'My Heart Will Go On.' While onstage, he introduced each of his bandmates: his longtime bandmate Robert Damper on piano, whom he said has been playing music with him since his school days; John Ramond on guitar; Daniel Bejarano on drums; Ron Powell on percussion; and Vail Johnson on bass. During his performance, Kenny spoke in Malay, 'Saya cinta Malaysia' and 'Terima kasih ke atas kehadiran kamu.' As the audience continued to cheer for him, he asked, 'How is my accent? Good accent?' 'Kini saya akan memainkan lagu sentimental. Thank you very much,' he added. His bandmates, all accomplished musicians in their own right, were given time to shine, delivering energetic and technically impressive solo sections that added flair, rhythm and dimension to the night's musical journey. A highlight included a medley of Chinese classics such as 'The Moon Represents My Heart,' connecting with the local audience. The polished production, immersive lighting, and rich acoustics contributed to an unforgettable night. The concert, presented by Star Planet, was a landmark cultural event for East Malaysia, cementing Kenny's timeless influence. Kenny continues his Malaysia tour with a performance at Arena of Stars, Resorts World Genting on July 13 at 6pm. Kenny, who is also composer, and producer celebrated for his signature smooth jazz sound, began playing saxophone at age 10 and rose to fame with his breakthrough 1986 album Duotones, featuring the hit single 'Songbird.' With over 75 million albums sold worldwide, he is the best-selling instrumentalist of the modern era. His smooth phrasing, melodic finesse, and soulful vibrato have won him fans across generations. He has collaborated with a wide range of artists, from Whitney Houston and Celine Dion to Kanye West and The Weeknd, proving his timeless appeal and musical versatility. With more than 20 studio albums to his name, Kenny continues to captivate global audiences, solidifying his legacy as an icon of instrumental music.

Serumpun Sarawak Ignites A Cultural Gastronomy Journey from Borneo to the World
Published on: Saturday, July 12, 2025 Published on: Sat, Jul 12, 2025 Text Size: PETALING JAYA: Sarawak is stepping boldly onto the global culinary stage with the launch of Serumpun Sarawak, a landmark journey that redefines indigenous heritage, food traditions, and cultural creativity as powerful tools for global influence and sustainable economic growth. Building momentum toward its international debut, Serumpun Sarawak is set to headline two major showcases: Osaka, Japan and Mulu, Sarawak. These global stages will feature curated tasting experiences, storytelling installations, and collaborative performances that present Sarawak's cultural identity in a vibrant, modern context. Hosted by the Ministry of Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Sarawak (MTCP) and the Sarawak Tourism Board (STB), Serumpun Sarawak marks a bold new chapter for the state's tourism and cultural economy. The initiative is led by world-renowned chef and indigenous gastronomy advocate, Chef James Won, in collaboration with Atlas Collective. More than a gastronomic experience, Serumpun Sarawak is a global invitation to engage with Sarawak as a living ecosystem of biodiversity, creativity, and ancestral knowledge, where indigenous wisdom meets contemporary innovation, and where food becomes a vessel for storytelling, identity, and connection. 'When Kuching earned its designation as a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, it wasn't simply a feather in our cap, it was a call to action. A signal to the world that Sarawak's culinary roots run deep — and our ambitions reach far,' said YB Dato' Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, Minister for Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Sarawak. 'Serumpun Sarawak is our answer to that call. It is where ancestral knowledge meets cutting-edge creativity. Where native ingredients become narrative. Where stories from the lands are translated into unforgettable multisensory experiences.'' The journey's first confirmed activation will take place from 5 to 8 August 2025 in Osaka, Japan, as part of an exclusive cultural gastronomy showcase in conjunction with the World Expo 2025. Hosted at Seaside Studio Caso, this immersive event will introduce Japanese and global audiences to the depth and diversity of Sarawak's indigenous cuisines, ingredients, and creative expressions. Through curated dining experiences, visual storytelling, and cultural showcases, Osaka will offer a window into Sarawak's soul, a vibrant confluence of land, people, and culinary heritage. Following its international debut, Serumpun Sarawak will return to its roots with a powerful community-based activation deep in Sarawak's own natural crown jewel, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Mulu National Park. In October 2025, the journey will host a site-specific experience within the park itself, blending indigenous culinary traditions, ecological appreciation, and cultural storytelling in one of the world's most awe-inspiring environments. The Mulu activation reflects Serumpun Sarawak's commitment to ensuring that global recognition is always grounded in respect for local communities, biodiversity, and indigenous knowledge systems. Collaboration sits at the heart of Serumpun Sarawak, with leading Sarawakian organisations such as Earthlings Coffee Workshop, Tanoti Crafts, The Tuyang Initiative, and the Culinary Heritage & Arts Society Sarawak (CHASS) working together to champion indigenous ingredients, craftsmanship, and cultural preservation. Their shared vision ensures that the journey remains rooted in authenticity, empowering local communities while amplifying Sarawak's position as a world-class destination for cultural and culinary exploration. Guests at today's press conference were offered an early taste of what lies ahead, with a captivating ethnic cooking showcase and an exclusive preview of The Serumpun Story, a short film encapsulating the essence of the journey. A curated coffee experience by Earthlings Coffee Workshop also highlighted Sarawak's emerging status as a terroir for exceptional coffee cultivation, blending tradition, sustainability, and global potential. Serumpun Sarawak represents the next evolution of Sarawak's tourism and cultural landscape, where heritage is not frozen in time but continually reimagined, shared, and celebrated. It is an invitation to the world to experience Sarawak not just through its landscapes but through its flavours, its stories, and its people. As the journey prepares to take Sarawak's cultural gastronomy to Mulu, Osaka, and beyond, one message rings clear: Sarawak is ready to lead, to inspire, and to redefine how the world experiences Borneo. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Describing its latest French fry promotion, McDonald's Malaysia chief marketing officer Chin Mei Lee called it a meal for fry fans, by fry fans. 'We know how much Malaysians love our fries. 'It's never enough! That's exactly what inspired the McDonald's Fans Fries Meal. 'We wanted to create something truly memorable that brings people together over the one item they can never resist. 'Whether it's with friends or family, this is our way of saying thank you and celebrating those joyful moments with everyone,' she said.

In 2022, it collaborated with Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to launch the McDonald's Fries Crosswalk at the Jalan Bukit Bintang and Jalan Sultan Ismail intersection.
