MBOR, BERNAMA TV Launch Series Honouring National Records
KUALA LUMPUR, June 18 (Bernama) -- Viewers can expect a powerful wave of inspiration as the Malaysia Book of Records (MBOR) collaborates with BERNAMA TV to premiere a brand-new 13-episode television series titled "Malaysia Book of Records 2025: Malaysia Luar Biasa." The series, set to air weekly on Tuesdays at 8.30 pm beginning August, promises to shine a light on record-breaking individuals and trailblazing organisations across the country, giving viewers a closer look at the remarkable achievements made by everyday Malaysians and prominent brands. According to MBOR's Chief Executive Officer, Christopher Wong, with the tagline "Malaysia Luar Biasa," each episode of the programme will highlight two to three record-breaking achievements, ranging from personal feats to national-scale accomplishments, demonstrating Malaysians' drive and discipline. "This series is about more than just celebrating records. It is a tribute to Malaysians' drive, talent, and resilience. Viewers can expect to be inspired by stories that demonstrate courage, creativity, and determination, reinforcing the message that greatness can emerge from any corner of the country," Christopher told reporters following the official launch here today. Also present at the launching ceremony were Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama) Chairman Datuk Seri Wong Chun Wai and MBOR Chairman Datuk Seri Dr Michael Tio. Christopher explained that while MBOR has previously produced television content, this new series returns after a long hiatus and is being revived with a fresh approach. The initiative was conceptualised earlier this year with the goal of raising public awareness about MBOR and encouraging more Malaysians to strive for record-breaking performances. Christopher added that the series is expected to include 30 to 40 records across 13 episodes, with the production team carefully curating a mix of corporate accomplishments, community-driven efforts and individual triumphs that reflect Malaysia's diverse society. Notably, Christopher said the launch coincides with MBOR's 30th anniversary, having certified nearly 8,000 records since its inception in 1995.
