A NEW television series is set to shine a light on the extraordinary achievements made by Malaysians.
The series, called Malaysia Book of Records 2025: Malaysia Luar Biasa, is a collaboration between Malaysia Book of Records (MBR) and Bernama TV.
Set to air weekly on Tuesdays at 8.30pm beginning in August, the 13-episode series aims to showcase the record-breaking stories of individuals and organisations across the country.
MBR chief executive officer Christopher Wong said the programme would feature 30 to 40 achievements per episode, covering categories of personal feats and community-driven efforts as well as corporate innovations and social impact initiatives.
'These are stories of ambition, compassion and determination that can emerge from any corner of Malaysia,' he said at the launch of the TV series in Kuala Lumpur, which coincided with MBR's 30th anniversary.
The launch was attended by Bernama chairman Datuk Seri Wong Chun Wai and MBR chairman Datuk Seri Michael Tio, both of whom expressed support for the series' positive framing of local achievements.
'Social media algorithms often amplify division and outrage,' Chun Wai was quoted as saying in a Bernama report.
'This series is a deliberate step in the other direction – spotlighting unity, optimism and progress.
'This series is dedicated to all Malaysians as a reminder that greatness lies within reach when passion meets purpose,' he added.
Tio noted that the original Malaysia Book of Records series was first aired nearly 30 years ago on RTM, and that the legacy has continued to inspire Malaysians across generations.
He said the initiative aimed to inspire the younger generation to carry on the legacy of achievement and innovation in the years to come.
'We encourage more to step forward and showcase their potential to be extraordinary Malaysians and be part of 'Malaysia Luar Biasa',' Tio added.
Since its inception in 1995, MBR has certified close to 8,000 records.
