Savouring Tradition and Celebrating Food, Culture and Community: MAGGI's Heartfelt Tribute to the Heritage of Sabahans through the Annual Kaamatan Campaign
Velyzeah Barukon from Ranau winning the Isuzu D-Max in 2024. KUALA LUMPUR (May 30): For generations, MAGGI® has been more than just a staple in Malaysian kitchens, it has been a trusted companion, flavouring not only food, but also the moments that bring families and communities together. Its presence is deeply woven into the fabric of Malaysian life, and nowhere is this more evident than during the Kaamatan season in East Malaysia. As the people of Sabah come together to celebrate Kaamatan with family, MAGGI® proudly continues its long-standing tradition of being part of these cherished festivities. Since 2003, MAGGI® has held a meaningful role in these celebrations, a symbol of home, heritage, and the joy of togetherness through food. As families gather to celebrate the harvest and pay tribute to their cultural heritage, MAGGI® remains a cherished part of the festivities, uniting generations through the power of food. This year, MAGGI® embraces the theme, 'Honouring the Cooks Behind the Festivities', a tribute to the unsung heroes consisting of mothers, elders, home cooks, and grassroots chefs who pass down treasured recipes, cultural values, and family traditions through the meals they lovingly prepare. The souls of every celebration that quietly connects the past with the present, one dish at a time. To preserve and share this culinary heritage, every year MAGGI® introduces festive recipes that pay tribute to the authentic flavours of Sabah. These recipes spotlight local ingredients and traditions while also showcasing the authentic flavours of Bornean cuisine in ways that are accessible to home cooks everywhere. From MAGGI® Sambal Tumis Tuhau to Linopot Tawadak Badungan and MAGGI® Asam Laksa Jeruk Bambangan, these dishes reflect carefully crafted recipes with modern-day twist of convenience and these recipes are made available on Visit for more recipe inspiration. Essential to these recipes are kitchen staples like MAGGI® CukupRasa™ and MAGGI® Sambal Tumis, loved by many for their ability to help home cooks achieve depth and authenticity in their meals. And for those who crave speedy meals, MAGGI® Kari and MAGGI® Asam Laksa are especially loved by East Malaysians for their rich and authentic flavours. Building on the commitment of preserving heritage, MAGGI® takes a meaningful step to collaborate with passionate East Malaysian chefs who embody the spirit of culinary heritage. In Sabah, MAGGI® partners with Chef Melvin Gatu, known for reimagining Kadazan-Dusun dishes with a modern twist. For Chef Melvin, the celebration of Kaamatan is rooted in heritage, family, and gratitude—all of which are expressed through food. His journey began in Ranau, where he returned after formal culinary training to reconnect with his roots. Through digital platforms, he shares traditional Sabahan dishes, making them accessible and appealing to younger generations by promoting local ingredients and techniques. 'Growing up, I celebrated Kaamatan by cooking at home with my family,' shares Chef Melvin. 'I learned from my mother how to prepare ingredients like Tuhau and Losun with care and intention. Now, I bring that same care into my work, sharing dishes like Ikan Basung Goreng with Sambal Tumis Bunga Kantan and Nasi Goreng Losun Ikan Masin as a way to honour Sabah's diverse, rich culinary identity.' Through this partnership with MAGGI®, Chef Melvin hopes to inspire new generations to embrace their heritage. 'I truly appreciate MAGGI® for elevating local chefs and flavours. Collaborating with them allows me to modernise traditional dishes while staying true to our roots. Products like MAGGI® Sambal Tumis or MAGGI® CukupRasa™ make it easier for more people to experience the taste of Kaamatan in their own homes. With authentic flavours and taste now available in a convenient format, I'm proud to stand with MAGGI® in preserving our heritage.' This shared mission of empowerment extends beyond the kitchen as MAGGI®'s beloved 'Jom Masak & Menang Bersama' campaign returns from May 1 to June 30, rewarding loyal consumers and giving back to the communities. With every RM8 spent on MAGGI® products, participants can submit receipts for a chance to win prizes including cash and even a car. The impact of the campaign goes further with RM0.10 from every entry being donated to local NGOs. This year, the contribution supports PACOS. Trust in Sabah, an organisation dedicated to indigenous community development. The heart of this initiative shines through personal stories, as seen in Velyzeah Barukon, a 2024 winner from Ranau, Sabah. As a mother of school-going children, winning a car as the grand prize has transformed her family's daily life. 'When I found out I had won, I was absolutely overjoyed! We used to rely on others just to get to town or send the kids to school. Now, everything is so much more convenient,' she shares. 'MAGGI® products are both budget-friendly and delicious, if you're already a fan, why not take a chance? I'll definitely be entering again!' MAGGI®'s commitment doesn't end with seasonal celebrations as the brand continues to support East Malaysian communities year-round through long-term partnerships with organisations like Helping Hands Penan, Hope Place, and the Malaysian Red Crescent Society, focusing on women empowerment, skills development, education, and essential aid. Celebration is incomplete without community, and MAGGI® ensures the joy of Kaamatan reaches even the most remote corners of Sabah. Through on-ground events including cooking carnivals, roadshows, cooking demonstrations, and competitions, MAGGI® hopes to create festive moments where communities can share culinary talents, enjoy games, and celebrate their heritage with pride and unity. These experiences allow MAGGI® to listen, learn, and serve East Malaysian families with sincerity and purpose for their festive Kaamatan celebrations. MAGGI® invites all Malaysians to reflect on the power of food to unite us, preserve our heritage, and inspire change. From cherished recipes and empowering campaigns to partnerships rooted in care, MAGGI® remains a steadfast ally in the kitchen and beyond. As families come together to celebrate Kaamatan, let's honour the cooks who bring the feast to life, cherish our traditions, and cook with a heart full of with MAGGI® by our side. food Kaamatan Maggi recipe

Scotland's 'most scenic dog walks' crowned ahead of summer 2025
The best hiking trails for four-legged friends have been named. The "most scenic dog walks" in Scotland have been named. Three locations across the country were crowned as the best for pet pooches based on a poll of 2,000 UK dog owners. With summer about to kick off, Scots will be looking to get out and make the most of the good weather. For those with a four-legged friend, there is even more reason to explore the beautiful Scottish countryside. On Wednesday, May 28, experts at Isuzu shared a list of the most picturesque dog walks across Britain, according to feedback from pet owners. Out of the three Scottish destinations included, Glencoe in the Highlands placed the highest. Coming in at number 11 on the overall list, Glencoe was voted as the top dog walk in Britain by 10 per cent of dog owners. Glencoe is known for its various beautiful trails—some of which pass by spectacular waterfalls. Some of the top walks in the area include the Glencoe Lochan Trail and Bishops Bay. The former is an idyllic trail around the tranquil Glencoe Lochan and woodlands, while Bishops Bay is a secluded corner of Loch Leven. The second most scenic dog walk in Scotland according to Isuzu is Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. The national park ranked at number 16 for the whole of the UK. The iconic greenland region is home to popular dog walking destinations such as the West Highland Way, Balloch Castle Country Park, and Argyll Forest Park. Other options include the Loch Katrine and Primrose Hill Circular and the Ben Ledi Foothills and Loch Lubnaig Circular. Elsewhere, the third and final Scottish dog walk named as being among the "most scenic" in the UK is Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh. The beauty spot in the Scottish capital placed at number 23 for the whole of the UK. Dogs are permitted on Arthur's Seat, as well as throughout the surrounding Holyrood Park. However, they should be kept under control and owners should be wary of local wildlife. Meanwhile, the number one "most scenic" dog walk in Britain according to Isuzu is Ambleside in the Lake District National Park. The English beauty spot was singled out for its picturesque lakes and mountains. Head of Marketing at Isuzu UK George Wallis commented: "It's no surprise to us that nearly a third of Brits are willing to drive almost 70 miles just to give their dogs the best walkies imaginable—we know our customers go the extra mile for their four-legged friends. "Whether it's chasing views in Ambleside, getting lost in Snowdonia, or lapping up the trails in Glencoe, the Isuzu D-Max is built for the kind of adventures dog owners dream of." See below for the full list of the "most scenic dog walks" in Britain. More information can be found on Isuzu.

Man fined for changing lanes, causing harm to motorcyclist
Published on: Thursday, May 22, 2025 Published on: Thu, May 22, 2025 By: Lagatah Toyos Text Size: Riduan Ibuan, 39, received the sentence from Magistrate Dayang Aidaku Amira Aminuddin after pleading guilty to driving an Isuzu D-Max without consideration resulting in the accident. TAWAU: A male driver whose video went viral for suddenly changing lanes and colliding with a motorcyclist was sentenced to one day in jail and RM7,000 in fines in default five months' jail. Riduan Ibuan, 39, received the sentence from Magistrate Dayang Aidaku Amira Aminuddin after pleading guilty to driving an Isuzu D-Max without consideration resulting in the accident. Riduan committed the offence at Batu 3, Jalan Apas, around 1pm on March 21, this year. He was charged under Section 43(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 (Act 333/87) and is punishable under the same Act, which carries a fine of up to RM10,000 or imprisonment not exceeding 12 months, on conviction. According to the facts of the case, Riduan, a contractor, was driving from Bataras to Tawau town, while the victim, a security guard, was riding a Honda motorcycle yp Batu 4 from Tawau Lama. The victim was in the right-hand lane on a straight road when Riduan upon reaching the exit junction to Taman Megah Jaya, suddenly changed lanes to the right and entered a slip road meant only for exiting vehicles. Advertisement Due to the short distance, the victim collided with the right side of Riduan's vehicle despite braking. The victim sustained injuries, while Riduan was unhurt. In mitigation, Riduan requested not to be imprisoned and said he only had RM4,000 to pay the fine. However, the court reprimanded Riduan's actions, stating that the location was not a designated U-turn area and that his mistake had caused harm to another person. 'If you dared to do that (make a U-turn in a non-U-turn area), it means you've done it multiple times and only this time you were unlucky,' the judge said sternly. Meanwhile, the Prosecuting Officer from the Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Division (BSPT) of IPD Tawau, ASP Joan Lee, requested an appropriate sentence to serve as a lesson to Riduan. She noted that the case involved public interest and had gone viral on social media, and that Riduan, who holds a temporary resident identification card valid until August 28, 2027, should have been more cautious and obeyed Malaysian laws. 'In this case, Riduan took a short cut to Tawau town by entering the slip road into Taman Megah Jaya, and his selfish behaviour resulted in an accident and serious injury to an innocent road user,' she said. * 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?
