Members of the media, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your time and as Managing Director of Infra Bunga Sdn Bhd, it gives me much pleasure of not only welcoming you to our press conference today but to take you through the Malaysian Halloween Carnival and Fun Run from conception to end.
But before we proceed let me give you a brief introduction about us and what we do.
Infra Bunga Sdn Bhd is the sole importer of M-150 Energy Drink in Malaysia, the #1 energy drink in Thailand. It is a halal, non - carbonated caffeinated beverage that helps reduce fatigue and increase concentration. M150 energy drink is now available at more than 5,000 touch points in Malaysia, namely KKMart, Econsave, TFValuemart, GTMart, NSK Grocer, Wellmart, 168 Stores, and soon to be available, starting 1st October 2023 at Petronas Mesra, Caltex and BHP Petrol Stations nationwide.
Since entering the market in year 2016, we have been actively supporting local events in any capacity that we can, especially the successful launch of Pokanime platform founded and managed by the wonderful couple, Mr Kevin Poi and Puan Rasta Rashid, numerous e-Sports event hosted by KBS and Air Asia prior to the covid lockdown, multiple Malaysia Speed Festivals racing series at the infamous and beautiful Sepang track. After witnessing numerous successful events it is now our turn to host the Infra Bunga and M-150 Energy Drink’s maiden event to mark our product’s presence and to celebrate and honour all our stakeholders who had contributed to our success over the years since we started in Malaysia.
So why Malaysian Halloween Carnival and Fun Run? Many had asked and we wanted to be different from other running events. We hope to foster close families and friendship ties whereby runners and non-runners in the family and amongst friends can come together to participate in all activities that we have lined up for the 2 eventful days, of which coincide with Hari Sukan Negara. Race kits are given, but runners are encouraged to turn up in their best outfit and costume in the name of fun and to celebrate the spirit of Halloween and Cosplaying. Thus, the name Malaysian Halloween Fun Run, in the month of October. There are cash prizes for top 5 finishers for each category, also, prize money for best outfit and costume. Apart from that, many more prizes to be won including hoodies, Marshall products, 65” LED screen TV, Nintendo Switch game set and so much more just by registering as a participant.
Besides brand awareness and marketing activity for M-150 energy drink, this event is also economically important for tourism, local vendors, local artists and local businesses including transportation. There are star-studded performances featuring renowned artists like Kaka Azraff, Talitha Tan and Sid Murshid; approximately 100+ lifestyle booths promoting food, fashion, arts and local crafts. In between live shows and performances, there are many activities to be enjoyed by all ages, including batik painting, carnival and traditional games, racing simulators, treasure hunting, autism fashion show blending traditional and contemporary styles to support good causes. Thus, Carnival came in mind with the fun run.
We are expecting about 5,000 visitors over the 2 days carnival from 10.00 am to 10.00 pm on both 14th and 15th October 2023 and about 2,000 runners on the run day which falls on the 15th of October morning. The Piazza, at Pavilion Bukit Jalil became our choice of venue as it has ample space and world class facilities to accommodate the numbers of participants and activities that we are anticipating, also, it is located at a strategic location easily accessible by many. We are grateful to be able to work together with the KBS (Kementerian Belia dan Sukan), management of Pavilion Group, Maudire Distribution Sdn Bhd (distributor of Marshals products in Malaysia), Rasta Creation by Puan Rasta, Pokanime Planet by Mr Kevin Poi, Megaraya, local councils and authority on this event. Without your support and contribution, this event is not possible and it is my sincere hope that we can collaborate in many more events in coming years.
So, now that you have the information, I would like to extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to the members of the media who have taken the time out to be with us today at this press conference and your willingness to give coverage and spread the word of our event. I have every confidence that with your aid, it will be a resounding success. Registration for the fun run can be done on RaceXAsia and heyJom, who are our race ticketing partners, and the carnival is free for all.
And for today only, each and everyone in the press conference are given a free ticket to join our Malaysian Halloween Fun Run (pick your choice of 3km or 8km), please look for Mika or Mr Kevin Poi to get your registration done for free; also We are working very closely with Kementerian Belia dan Sukan and PPR (Program Perumahan Rakyat) and excited to announce that Ticket Ramah will be made available for KBS and PPR community to join our upcoming event.
