The inaugural Off The Grid (OTG) event, held at Malaysia Agro Exposition Park, Serdang (MAEPS) from February 23 to 25, 2024, proved to be a resounding success, drawing over 30,000 outdoor lifestyle enthusiasts. Organised by the Art of Speed team, the event celebrated all things related to outdoor living, attracting a diverse crowd of visitors eager to explore the latest trends and offerings in the outdoor lifestyle scene.
The success of OTG was made possible through the support of various vendors, including well-known names such as Montanic Adventure Store, Anbot Store, CampGuru, Eiger Adventure, Pahlawan Store, and Outside Malaysia, among others. These vendors contributed to the vibrant atmosphere of the event, offering a wide range of products and experiences tailored to outdoor enthusiasts’ interests.
As reported earlier, the Malaysia Autoshow will be on again after not being able to be run from 2020 to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event, organised by the Malaysia Automotive, Robotics and IoT Institute (MARii), will be held from May 4 – 7, 2023 at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS) outside Kuala Lumpur.
Officially launched today, the Malaysia Autoshow 2023 has the theme of ‘Mobility Redefined’ and will not be just the usual car show as it will include all aspects of the auto industry. Besides having the latest models, there will also be displays showcasing new technologies, particularly those related to mobility.
With over 700,000 new vehicles sold in 2022, it’s clear that Malaysians are still very interested in owning new vehicles and with the increased promotion of electric vehicles (EVs), there’s even more interest in knowing what’s available. Thus it’s the right timing for the Malaysia Automotive, Robotics and IoT Institute (MARii) to resume the Malaysia Autoshow which was last run in 2019. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was not possible to run what had become an annual event, so this year’s event will be the sixth edition.
The event will be held from May 4 – 7 and as before, it will be at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS) outside Kuala Lumpur. The spacious 30,000 sq. metre site not only has large exhibition halls but also spacious grounds where test-drives and other activities can be run. Visitors will be able to drive the latest vehicles on a 3-km route, as well as experience many vehicle technologies.
After a 2-year absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the well-established Art of Speed is making a comeback. Malaysia’s premier Kustom & Counter Culture event will celebrate 10 years of cool bikes, radical rides, art and culture, and it’s going to be big this year.
To be held at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park in Serdang (MAEPS), which is outside Kuala Lumpur, the Art of Speed 2022 (AOS 2022) will be on July 2, 2022 (10:30 am – 8:00 pm) and July 3, 2022 between 10:30 am and 8 pm on both days.
Art of Speed Malaysia (AOSM), which has the support of Tourism Malaysia, is well known beyond Malaysian borders too and many foreign guests from the international custom community and media will also be attending the event.
Notables among them are Emi Suganuma, ‘Sunny’ Yano & Michi ‘NATQQ’ from MOONEYES Japan; Scott Johnson from Mama Tried Motorcycle Show in the USA; Chopper and Kustom artist, Russell Murchie ‘MOW’ from Australia; Pinstripe artists Mil of Millart, Irvine Jasta and Fahmi Freeflow from Indonesia; and Aekalak Kitdusitpong, a diecast modeler from AKARA in Thailand.
AOS 2022 will have many different activities during the two days. The main highlights for AOS 2022 will include the Invitational Bike Build Off 2022, Hot Wheels Legends Tour, Hail Vintage (a vintage work wear exhibition), Off The Grid (outdoor camping and lifestyle), and the Sound Circus Festival (for ages 18 years old and above only).
Qhalis Najmi from NoEqual.co will be this year’s host for the Kustom & Koffee Talk. He will be joined by overseas panelists Scott Johnson from Mama Tried Motorcycle Show and Warren Heir Jr. from Flat Out Friday. The forum will discuss the latest trends in bike and car industries.
Additional AOS 2022 activities include Roda Rumble (a Two Wheels Gathering & Outdoor Festival), La Cultura (Malaysia’s first Chicano Culture Appreciation Gathering), Vintage Flea Market, Alfa Romeo Club Malaysia Gathering, Mini Crawlers RC demo and display, as well as bike test rides of well known brands.
Naturally, during the event, visitors will get thirsty and hungry, and there will be Food Park vendors and trucks on-site. They are located in a sheltered area so no worries if it rains during the weekend.
At the conclusion, there will be a lucky draw with two lucky winners. One will go home with a Classic Vespa EV (fully restored by Kluk Klek Soul and EV conversion by Elders Elettrico), and the other will win another Hausboom customized EV Classic Vespa.
AOS 2022 will reintroduce the Speed Lane ticket priced at RM55 valid for both days. With this ticket, visitors can enter one hour before the official opening time. The weekend pass is available at the door and online for RM35, with children below 12 years old entering for free. OKU (disabled) Pass Holders will also enjoy free entry.
Incidentally, Sound Circus Festival outdoor only tickets are already sold out, but the Sound Circus Festival + Weekend Pass combo is still available online only. For purchasing online visit aos2022.qtic.my.
The War on COVID-19 involves everyone – in fact, it is a global fight – and many companies are helping in various ways. Those with resources like factories have used their manufacturing facilities to produce Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) instead of their usual products. Carmakers, with lots of cars available, have also provided vehicles for use by healthcare personnel to get around and do their important work.
Recently, Perodua provided an Aruz and a Bezza to the Pusat Kuarantin dan Rawatan COVID-19 Berisiko Rendah 2.0 (PKRC) at MAEPS, Serdang in Selangor. The facility is presently used as a quarantine centre for those infected with COVID-19. The cars were provided through Agensi Pengurusan Bencana Malaysia (NADMA) which is responsible for emergency management. They will be used to transport essential items sent by families or friends of those who are in quarantine.
Together with the cars, RM300 per month of petrol vouchers have been provided and the Malaysian carmaker also contributed 5 laptops for NADMA’s use.
Various other forms of support
This support follows many other contributions made to key public institutions nationwide, especially the frontliners. The contributions have been in cash and supplies to help in fighting the pandemic. For example, last month, Perodua contributed an additional RM80,000 worth of medical supplies to Hospital Sungai Buloh, a key medical facility that handles a large number of COVID-19 cases.
Perodua has also supplied face shields, manufactured by an associate company, to various organisations in Malaysia over the past year. The recipients have been schools, clinics, local government offices and councils, and even hawkers at markets in Perodua’s surrounding community.
Perodua was among the companies that made a contribution to the NADMA COVID-19 Fund as the pandemic began in 2020.
East Malaysia not forgotten
While a large proportion of Perodua’s sales are in Peninsular Malaysia, the carmaker does not also forget that the East Malaysian markets have also contribute to its ascent to being the No. 1 brand in the country. And like a good corporate citizen, the company has been giving back to the local community there.
As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities last year, it provided the Sabah Women and Children’s Hospital with a portable flexible videoscope set, while 250 underprivileged paediatric patients received contributions ranging from school supplies to prescription glasses. These contributions were a follow-up from an earlier initiative in 2018 which saw the contribution of two laryngoscope blade sets and 40 bed pillows, and toys for some 250 child patients.
