The atmosphere at St Rosyam Mart, Jalan Kebun, Klang, was vibrant and full of excitement on Sunday (July 13) as Malaysia's legendary singer, Datuk Khadijah Ibrahim, officially launched her latest product, 'Sos Cili Pedas Ibu', for the very first time at the hypermarket.
The event drew an enthusiastic crowd of loyal customers, fans, and media representatives who came to witness this memorable moment.
"Sos Cili Pedas Ibu" is Khadijah's creation, inspired by her personal, home-style recipe. Rich, spicy, and authentically homemade, it is the perfect choice for lovers of bold and flavorful cuisine.
The launch event was further enlivened by a series of engaging activities, including interactive games, quizzes, and a karaoke session with Khadijah herself, delighting the crowd.
She also served visitors with specially prepared dishes and a live cooking demo showcasing her signature touch. Guests had the opportunity to sample the delicious Sos Cili Pedas Ibu at the complimentary tasting booth.
Speaking at the event, Dato' Khadijah Ibrahim shared: "This sauce is a symbol of my love for my fans and the community. I want to share the authentic taste that has long been a family favorite with all Malaysians and beyond. Your support today truly touches my heart.'
"Sos Cili Pedas Ibu" is now available exclusively at St Rosyam Mart and through online platforms such as Shopee and TikTok Shop.
Khadijah also announced that a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Malaysian Artistes Association (KARYAWAN) to support artists in need.
On top of that, she also announced that the chili sauce is also available in Indonesia, Singapore and Brunei. On top of that they are also in talks with a major distributor who has chains in 23 other countries.
"The distributor will also be promoting our sauce in an international food expo in Shanghai next month," said Khadijah. "This launch not only introduces a new local food product, but also highlights the entrepreneurial spirit of Malaysian celebrities, driven by passion, dedication, and sincerity. I believe this is the right way forward."
For the record, Khadijah, better known as Kathy Ibrahim, has been an active singer since the 70s and is also one of the few artists in Malaysia who has produced her own album every decade since then. Her famous song "Kupendam Sebuah Duka" is a glorious ballad which is played in almost every household to this day.
One of Malaysia's most profound vocalists, she continues to mesmerise music fans to this day. Besides being a brilliant musician, she is also an established actress and now an inspiring businesswoman.
At the age of 66, many of us will be thinking of slowing down and even thinking of retiring from the workforce. For Khadijah, it is a new beginning as she moves into the business world. And fans will be behind wishing her the best of success in her new venture.
