Ministry to hold carnival with film premieres, anti-scam movie launch
Onn Norshal (centre) expressed confidence towards Susan's (second right) property developments and is planning to replicate the successful business model in Benoni in Kinarut Palm City. PAPAR (June 26): The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living will be organizing a grand multi-day carnival starting July 16 at the 10Star Cinemas and Majestic Ballroom here at Parklane City. Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Hajiji Noor and the Minister of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali are expected to officiate at the opening ceremony of the event, which is poised to attract over 1,000 attendees. In conjunction with the carnival, 10Star Cinemas at Parklane City will hold a nationwide premiere of the highly anticipated Malaysian film 'Impak Maksima 2' on July 16. Additionally, a launch ceremony will be held for an anti-scam movie titled 'Polis Action Silent Code', which is done in collaboration with the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM). 10Star Cinemas Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Onn Norshal Hamzah shared the exciting news today with WSG Group managing director Datuk Susan Wong Siew Guen. 10Star Cinemas Sdn Bhd is the co-organizer for the carnival. Onn Norshal also invited Susan as special guest for the series of carnival activities on July 16. The event will feature stalls both inside and outside the ballroom, as well as a display of sports cars to hype up the premiere of 'Impak Maksima 2'. 'The Chief Minister, minister, officers from the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living, PDRM, Papar folks and media will be attending the event.' He said all 500 seats across six halls of the cinema have been reserved to host Armizan's supporters and Papar residents. The programme and carnival activities are expected to draw more than 1,000 people, making it one of the liveliest events in Papar. Onn Norshal disclosed that his team will be having a meeting with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living to discuss details of the programme. Meanwhile, Susan is delighted that the cinema and ballroom have driven more people and activities to Parklane City. She believed that the grand carnival will make Parklane City a hotspot for Paparians. She also pledged full support for the event, including providing more parking spaces and necessary services to ensure the carnival is a memorable experience for the people of Papar. On another note, Onn Norshal said Parklane City has become a renowned township not only in Kuala Lumpur, but also Indonesia, thanks to Susan's efforts. 'In fact, an Indonesian film distributor has now requested to launch their upcoming horror film at 10Star Cinemas in Papar,' he said, after returning from a trip from Indonesia. He noted that their previous launch of the true story-based Indonesian horror film 'Vina' at the cinema has received overwhelming response, leaving a strong impression on the Indonesian film company. As a result, they have requested another launch event to be held at 10Star Cinemas in Parklane City. Since incorporating the Majestic Ballroom with support from developer Susan, Onn Norshal said the Parklane City model has received widespread praise and is now a benchmark for the company's future developments. He added that 10Star Cinemas currently has six cinemas across Sabah, with Tawau leading in revenue, but Benoni's outlet is rapidly climbing and is expected to become the top-performing cinema in Sabah by year-end. 'We're already seeing over 3,000 weekend admissions, which is a fantastic result,' he said. He said the success of the Papar model has boosted the company's confidence. Therefore, Onn Norshal announced that 10Star Cinemas will expand into the newly developed Kinarut Palm City, another project by WSG Group, and create an upgraded version of its cinema entertainment complex. He added that 10Star Cinemas has invested around RM5 million for its project in Papar, and the company plans to invest RM7 million in Kinarut. In addition to a cinema and banquet hall, the new development will include a café, bookstore, and other related outlets to create a more comprehensive wellness and leisure entertainment hub. Furthermore, he said the facilities at the Majestic Ballroom in Benoni will be continuously upgraded, to provide the people of Papar with a better event venue and services. Onn Norshal revealed that demand for venue rentals at the Majestic Ballroom is overwhelming, with weekends almost fully booked. There are already customers who have booked for September, October, and even November, he said. He said the company actively collects customers' feedback to improve the interior facilities of the ballroom. He said curtains, air conditioning units, heat-insulating window film, and additional lighting are being installed to improve the experience for clients.

The unorthodox awards quickly made rounds on social media, with amused netizens saying they wouldn't mind working at a place that rewards napping. Some joked that they might finally have a shot at winning something at their own office dinners. 'This 'outstanding employee' award is just for fun to liven up the event.. kudos to the company and the bosses for being so sporting,' one user called Personal Financial Advisor commented.
